Zotac pros/cons?

Zotac have a great 5 year warranty, which certainly helps when you resell. No real cons except if it needs repairing/replacing, it might not be the quickest for that.

Cheers Greg (long time no see in Division bud :( )
My plan is:get 1070 for now,wait till full pascal will be released (or vega-whichever will be better,sell 1070,get 1080Ti or whatever,get 4K monitor,use my current 1440p as secondary.
In case of faulty card,i have spare mighty 8800GTX :D

Might well be joining this little owners club with a 1070 AMP Extreme in the next week or two :D

Thought I would hold out till Vega/GP102 but want a new toy and the price I saw today for arguably what might be the fastest 1070 out of the box swayed me.

Think you might be getting it from the same place as me.

I preordered as soon as I saw the price, got an email saying between the 12th and 17th July. Checked the product code and it is the amp extreme spectre version. Happy days :)

£385 I got it for, price is now £435 on here and will probably rise.

Well my second 1070 has arrived, the FE is going back tomorrow!

Not had a chance to try the MSI yet as the wife has friends over playing on the Vive, not that I'm complaining ;)

Just boshed in an order for one of these two. Nice price and don't mind the lead time.

I caved getting mine tomorrow :) Was sick of waiting around to see if prices drop.

Gone for the Msi Armour one be interesting to see how it performs with a i5 2500k. Would have gone for the gaming x one but would have looked naff in my case. Should be a big upgrade over a 2gb 770 least I am hoping so !

I would be interested to find out, as I am considering just a GPU upgrade for now with my 2500k, currently running a HD7970 :)

I'm running the 1070 armor with a overclocked in 2500k 4.5ghz and all is fine on that end so nothing to worry about

the card does 2050 on the core without any increase on the vcore/power
Card is silent never seen the card go over 60c which means the fans stay off if I manually set the fans to 20% it's still silent and the card will set at 30 to 35c

On less intensive games like overwatch it just sits around 45c all day long
