I want to upgrade to a GTX 1070, but I am not sure if there is a difference between the MSI, Gigabyte, EVGA, and ASUS GTX 1070 cards. Is there a difference between these four? If so, which one would be most sufficient? and which ones could fit on a Gigabyte Z97X-SLI motherboard?
 
Solution
Most of the differences is boost clocks, and number of fans. They generally all use the same reference cards. It is all about astehtics honestly. If you have a PCIe x8 slot, then you should be good to go. Make sure you case has enough clearance.

they're all the same save for using different fan/heatsinks, though there is little performance difference between them. And clock speed, again the difference is small. It's not like one of them has twice the clock speed of the others.

They'll all fit that motherboard, PCIe is universal. Were you asking which would fit inside your particular case?
