What differences are we looking at? I dived into a 1070 when I saw a good price without doing any homework and have ended up with micron memory but some rough testing seems I can benchmark at +750 before any flickering or such.

What sort of clocks do Samsung chips hit on average?

Mine is Samsung and cannot do that. Chill and enjoy your card.

I can get about +700Mhz without and issues (Samsung). I've pushed it up to 730Mhz with fans at 100%. I didnt want to risk any higher

This is the card I bought a couple weeks ago.
Really quiet, haven't tried OCing yet though.

What do you mean by "shot fans"

Both of them had bearings that were making noise, the later was even vibrating the whole case...

^^ EVGA! Thanks! They'll be back on my option list now... One of those or an MSI Gaming X 1070...

Nice. Prefer EVGA's current back-plate though.

Well, if these new ones don't blow up, and are quiet, they could be a nice addition!

feel bad for folk with the 1080/70 acx cards as resale value will deffo take a hit now when the time comes wont it.

While talking about the GTX 1070 mini above, Zotac went and made a 1080 mini.

I've just purchased an ASUS Strix OC 1070 as my Maxwell Titan X died on me and is out of warranty due to replacing the cooler, the local store has given me the none OC model though but they've offered me to replace it with the OC model and honour the price, fair bit cheaper than here as well which I was surprised at, I'm using the normal one for now and I'm surprised how cool and quiet they are!

I just bought the Asus Strix 1070 OC as well and I'm really pleased with it. Got it for I think a rather decent price too.

ScoTTyBEEE · 12 Jan 2017 at 22:52

I bought the normal one and changed it to an oc bios. Pretty sure that's the only difference as it's running fine on it, boosts to 2020mhz odd.

Looks pretty, but the fan is facing down and is not visible in the majority of rigs.

Ayahuasca · 25 Jan 2017 at 12:44

I guess I'm better off asking in this thread, do any new 1070's come with Samsung memory?

Only the founders edition I think at this point.

Most manufacturers have released new BIOS' now so it's not so great of an issue. I jumped on a cheap 1070 without even knowing about the micron memory "problem". Mine will bench at +625 and is solid as a rock at stock vaults at +500.

RIZZEE · 25 Jan 2017 at 19:14

Was going to ask if EVGA still had the issues of over heating as I was planning on buying the FTW Edition tomorrow. Worth waiting for the FTW2, or go with an MSI version?
