GTX 1070 Mini vs GTX 1070 full size

[Roxas2030]

Hey guys, question is basically in the answer. Besides the OC and SC versions of the full size, how does Gigabyte's GTS 1070 mini compare to a full size graphics card? Is it exactly the same just smaller or did they take the performance down a notch? Thanks in advance.

Stock performance about the same. The larger cards run cooler, quieter, and OC better. The minis are fine though.

I like the fact that the larger cards run cooler , performance wise , without OC they are about the same , but smaller ones run warmer due to the lack of the extra fan or fans.

The Mini's will throttle more easily.

Many benchmarks don't properly test as it can take a while for the PC to heat up and start throttling the GPU. Of course, it depends on how good your case cooling is as well.

You can lose over 10%, as well as get some micro-STUTTERING that you might not get if the GPU frequency could be maintained.

Hey guys

first time here.

i'm always concerned abaout the power delivery system in these mini cards. I have a 970 mini and I thinking about upgrading to 1070.

these cards have fewer fases or its just a smaller form factor?

thanks.

ando sorry for the english, I'm a brazillian trying to reach a good level of this language.
