Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Pascal Performance Review

[iam2thecrowe]

But does it matter if all the same review titles get perfectly optimised, but other games- are not? And we have to understand, that proprietary tech like physx and hairworks cannot be truly optimised by both companies.
But I agree with the need for tech-intro and explanation of why this or that is important. And also more diverse benchmarked game list would be great. For example, an example of MOBA title at different settings. Doom as representative of Vulkan. Some DX12 game that is light on CPU and another that is very CPU heavy, like Total War:Warhammer- to see the benefit of multiple cores finally being used, and their positive effect on minimum frame rates.

I find myself more and more looking at game specific performance reviews, where they test a bunch of hardware on a specific game with all kinds of detail settings, rather than just hardware reviews. It gives a large collaboration or hardware/combinations you can compare with.

I still have a 1080p monitor and a GTX 970 EVGA SSC video card. With the way prices currnetly are and I don't plan on buying a 2K or 4K monitor yet I think I'll hold off on buying a new video card. I'll get a good 4K monitor if there are any Black Friday sales and by then knowing my luck NVidia or AMD will have released a better video card or lowered their prices(hopefully).

No mention of the Amp draw on the pci slot for the 1070, no mention of the average watts on the pci slot for the 1070. I mean if i guess off of those graphics it looks somewhere right around 66 watts. If thats true, well i guess its drawning the same power on the PCI slot as a 480. So, talk about overblowing bs on the 480.

But really watts dont mean anything, the pins are rated by amps, how many amps is it drawing over the pci slot?

Granted, just because nvidia does it too, doesnt mean its ok. And the amps needed to be lowered on the 480, but its kinda funny just how mental fanboys go over something being over a couple watts, when both companies do it. And pretty much every overclocker does it.

The problem with this gen of Nvidia cards is the prices. When the new cards are hundreds more expensive than the last gen cards they're supposed to be replacing, then performance per dollar has not improved.

Call me old-fashioned, but I'm still sticking with my 980.

We can blame Nvidia for this, but, they are only marketing prices that people are willing to pay.

@NITRIUM Some people have cases which require external venting.

why is nvidia so expensive compared to amd?

Is it possible to replace the fan/heatsink on a FE card with something that works better?

GTX 1070 uses surprising amount of power from PEG; the power consumption from PEG hovers around 75W WITHOUT overclocking. Would the card consume more power from PEG when the card is overclocked and the power limit is lifted? Would there be any long-term stability issue of the motherboard when it is paired with a 1070FE? Why no one ever talks or tests this? Does any owners of 1070FE have any insights to share about your overclocked 1070FE and the stability of the motherboard?

Because there is a legion of nVidiots who are 100% committed to nVidia and won't EVER consider any alternative, regardless of price/performance (they usually STILL cite AMD's poor drivers from 10 years ago).

ok so after checking all the reviews from so many websites i decided to go with gtx 1070 instead of gtx 1080 because it was too expensive & for 1080p gaming gtx 1070 was way more than enough. i specially upgraded from asus gtx 670 dcii to zotac gtx 1070 amp extreme to play rise of tomb raider on highest settings including all settings on. now according to your review it says it gives min of 56fps avg of 76fps on 2k resolution. i am playing on 1080p resolution and the benchmark tool & well as fraps gave me avg of 46fps. now please help me here why so much difference. is my system bottlenecking or something? below are my pc specs
core i7 2600k
gigabyte z68xp ud3r
16gb corsair vengeance ddr3
corsair cx 600
samsung evo 120gb (windows 7 ultimate)
wd 2tb black (game installed)

please help me out here.
