Why is the GAINWARD GeForce GTX 1070 GPU so much cheaper?

[RMBumblebee]

Hello!

So I was wondering why is this GAINWARD GeForce GTX 1070, 8GB, DDR5, DVI, HDMI, DP (not the phoneix edition) so much cheaper than any other 1070. What is wrong with it, The GPU Clockspeed is a little lower but with overclocking I doubt it is much worse. It's still a 1070 yet it's a 150$ cheaper than this ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 Strix, 8GB, DDR5, DVI, HDMI, DP?

Am I missing something? perhaps it doesn't support SLI? It can't be overclocked? Heat issues?
I am really close to buying this card but I don't want to get screwed (pardon my french)

anyway, would really like some help from you guys. Thanks in advance!

Lesser known brand = can't ask money cause we are a big company (best example is apple) so we need to offer it cheap to get sales. Also that cooler isn't as good as asus's coolers but still the card will run.

I mean, It''s not like it's PALIT 1070. Gainward is a known company yet the PALIT 1070 is about 50$ more.
So you recon I should get it and don't worry? I'm not sure man it smells fishy

thanks for the response! 😀

Can you show me the link you are getting it from.
Also Gianward is better know but still not big enough to ask the prices of the bigger company's.

No problem man, but I'm not sure it will help you as you probably do not know the language.

Also info-wise 1$=7,14kn (the currency in Croatia)

That is so weird if this is a trusted site then go for it. That is a really good deal.

It is the biggest IT store in Croatia, I have bought numerous items from there. It is a physical store not a web shop if you get what I am saying. It's not the store, it's the card

I found a review in dutch on a site that I use too compare prices of products where I live and they said cools good but doesn't reach that high of a boost clock compared to other cards. However these only result in about a 3% difference in performance and for the price difference it's worth it.

and

Is reasonably quiet but can get loud when the fans start spinning during prolonged gaming session.

This is of course translated by me so some grammatical errors may occur 😛

So you said you where getting it by monday? Which probably means that you have the 1070 right now. Can you tell me how the gpu runs, and the temps, and the noice. Just some quick infomartion. Since in my country its alot cheaper aswell ($120 to be exact)

 

[RMBumblebee]

It's awsome, stellar temps, haven't OC-ed it yet. It's a bit on the noisy side but nothing you will notice unless you game without sound 😀
