Which EVGA GTX 1070?

[Hugzie]

So I have decided on getting an EVGA GTX 1070.....the only real question is which one? I have never overclocked before, not sure if it really worth it or how it works ect. But I am on a budget and need to save money for a 1440p monitor as well.

I play a lot of RPGs and RTS and Overwatch.

I appreciate any input thank you so much.

the cheapest one with the best cooler


dont pay for something you can do yourself ( i.e. overclocking )

Right, but If I have never OC'd before and don't know how wouldn't it be better to just get a factory OC? And how can I tell which one has the best cooler?

The ACX 3.0 is the best cooler EVGA offers. GTX 1070s largely boost to similar clocks regardless of model, so getting a higher clocked card isn't necessarily all that beneficial. Just avoid the reference model with the blower cooler or the Founder's Edition, those cards have poorer cooler that make the card run hotter and can lead to lower boost clocks.
