What brand GTX 1070 to get?

[C6ckneyGeezer]

I see the popular choice is the MSI varient very popular. However the Zotec has higher clocks.

I would basicly like the coolest, and reliable card...But would be nice to have the edge on performance too.

Size is not an issue as my case fits a max length of 414mm. PSU is not an issues as I have a Corsair CX750.

Any help much appreciated!

A vote for the MSI here. Very quiet, cool, well built, runs just over 2GHz at stock. Custom PCB and the extra power connector should it ever be needed. Can't really complain about that

I gone for Zotac AMP - i just like big cards
Besides,had few Zotacs before and im very impressed with them (sorry Gigabyte,Asus,MSI)

Worth noting the EVGA SC is the quietest 1070, and has the step-up program as part of their warranty.

Almost bought one but decided against the reference board and thought there seemed to be better coolers out there. You can't fault their warranty or step up program though. I'd get a FTW if I did buy EVGA but that's just me

Yeah true. The 1080 Palit Jetstream is only £120 more.

Personally I went with the Inno3d x4. Very cool, very quiet and stable at 2076. Until and unless voltage unlocked bioses are available, I can't see any point paying for an additional 8 or 6pin power connector.

And even then you won't need any additional power than the std 8 pin offers. Extra power delivery plugs are purely for cosmetic purposes on these cards.

Gainward golden sample here,very happy with it,boosts to2037.5 out of the box,hottest iv'e seen it is 44 degrees,well built quiet enough.

I went with the Zotac AMP edition. If it doesn't fit in my case you might have an option appear on the member's market

MSI Gaming X here, really happy with it although I would go for a Palit Jetstream looking at todays prices

I have just seen an MSI Gaming X 1070, in the B Grade section for £20 less...and it claims to be " new" .

Would you go for the MSI @ £430 vs the Palit @ £405 though?

 

[C6ckneyGeezer]

Cheers for the replies guys!

I am now stuck between getting one of these...

Zotac AMP Extreme Looks great, 2X 8 pin connections, loads of cooling and a vented back plate. 5 year warrenty! Can't knock it.

MSI Gaming X Same as the Zotac but only 3 years warrenty and 1x 6pin and 1x 8pin connector? Lower clocks than the Zotac.

Gigabyte G1 Only one 8 pin connection? Non vented backplate... But same brand as my Mobo.

I am steering towards the Zotac if Im honest.....

Yes I would and did as that's how much I paid for my Gaming X

Out of those 3 I would go for the Zotac too. Looks like a beast of a card! You wouldn't go wrong with any though TBH, but the MSI Gaming X is overpriced now I think.

Zotac.
