Which 1070 Should I Purchase

[cctaylor88]

I own a 34" UW monitor that supports Freesync, I was pretty set on getting an AIB 480, but at this point I'm tired of the wait. We have nothing other than speculation at this point and its tiresome. Anyways, I'm pretty new to the GTX1070 side of things (knowledge wise) and figured I would turn to you guys/gals for a little information. With all of the 1070 AIBs out there, I was wondering if one is head and shoulders above another (worth the price point to the fullest) or if I should just go purely on which card I like the most/cheapest cost etc.

Feel free to weigh in, unfortunately I would generally turn to some YouTube reviews but I'm at work and YT is a no no.

They're all quite promising but I'm looking into the EVGA's 1070 and Zotac's AMPED Extreme.

No AIB GTX 1070 stands out from the other, just purchase the cheapest one unless you have brand loyalty or care about aesthetics. I purchased the ASUS 1070 STRIX because I have an ASUS motherboard; that was my only reason, to match components.

I personally purchased the gigabyte G1. one of the cheaper (and better looking imo) cards out there. nice black back plate, rgb lighting, and high clocks (1998 on mine) out of the box.

I'm not sure about the other brands but with a decent fan curve i can keep my card at 59c to keep it from throttling and it's no louder than my case fans.
