GTX 1070 Comparison, need help.

Hello everyone, I need to choose a GTX 1070, but i want to ask you if for a couple bucks more I can get a better brand. Here are the one I have available:

SVGA Palit GeForce GTX 1070 Dual 8G retail (410 €)

Inno3D GeForce GTX 1070 Twin X2, 8192 MB GDDR5 (417 €)

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 OC WindForce 2X 8GB GDDR5 (419 €)

SVGA Palit GeForce GTX 1070 JetStream 8G retail (425 €)

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming, 8192 MB GDDR5X (429 €)

SVGA Gainward GTX1070 8GB GTX1070 Phoenix (432 €)

ZOTAC GTX 1070 AMP EDITION 8GB 8192 MB GDDR5 (434 €)

The case is a SPEC 02 bg corsair or a 88R Carbide

Which one do you think is the best? Thank you in advance

depends on what you plan on doing

if you wanna OC the card, there's no going past the Gigabyte G1
the Gainward Phoenix is the one with the best cooling solution but it's also massive. I got it myself and can say it's a very nice card.
the Palit JetStream is basically the same as the Gainward but the Heatpipes follow another design. still a great card for that price
the Zotac provides the best power out of the box I think, the difference ain't noticeably big
for Inno3d I only saw reviews and test for the X3 (not recommended) and the X4 (highly recommended) but not the X2
the GA Windforce and Palit Dual are rudimentary cards that will be outperformed by all the others in a matter of cooling, noise, raw power, OC capability hence the lower price tag

Thank you a lot
After what you've said, I think I'll go for that solid/sexy looking Jetstream from Palit.
Thank you again!

I bought the Asus ROG Strix 1070. I wound up returning it. Why? It's so long! It wouldn't fit in my Antec 900 case. I had to move a drive cage forward to accommodate it. My case looked retarded to I returned it. I didn't want to buy a new case when I didn't have to.

I wound up buying a 1070FE by Nvidia. Yes, by Nvidia from Best Buy. $380 and I am ecstatic!

Without over clocking, the ROG tops out at 1911mhz. My FE got up as high as 1850mhz. Not a huge difference. I played with the 1070FE over clocking and I was hitting a stable 2.1ghz without touching the voltage. Temps got up as high as 71 degrees. Granted I had setup a fan curve where the fan hits 100% at 85 celcius. At 71 degrees I think the fan was at 65% throttle. I still couldn't hear it. By the way, the ROG 1070 never broke 61 degrees. The cooler is darn good. However, it's HUGE!

The 1070 is this generation's sweet spot.

I'll definetely look into it.
