Indeed! Best purchase in a while!

Yeh absolutely, best upgrade ive made. will probably never buy an overpriced monitor again.

Cryin5freeman · 31 Aug 2016 at 17:41

So 4K TV is cheaper than a dedicated 4K monitor.. Sounds like a good route tbh..
But how far are you seating away from the screen with 40"?

Currently SAMSUNG UE40KU6100 Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR 40" Curved LED TV is only £499 at Currys!!! Tempting..

About 2'. It's very comfortable, everything is pin sharp and text is just about the right size to be legible without any need for scaling. Very immersive for games and brilliant for multitasking - currently have this browser window taking up a quarter of the screen with Steam in another quarter, Excel in another and an empty quarter available!

I bought the Samsung UE40KU6400 and am very happy with it

Edit: I got the Samsung for £459 from Richer Sounds with a 6 year warranty.

Best thing you will do, ive got a 43"" 90cm away on desk and is perfect.

If you play really fast twitch shooters or something ive herd that people get input lag but ive never noticed any.

Cryin5freeman · 31 Aug 2016 at 20:50

The thing, I'll need a new desk to house them in... Currently, my iMac 27" is taking up the space... I'm seating like 30cm away from the screen and that is about right to read all the texts.. etc.

40" at 2'..Ain't that too close to your face?

Mostly, big telly is use for console gaming.. while you seating a 2m away with a control pad.. but not with pc gaming, i.e keyboard and mouse...

Oh well, only time will tell..

Potato quality pic because I'm using the phone as always and have no artistic talent. Got to say it's the best card I've ever had and boosts over 1.9ghz stock! Bad coil whine on it although hoping it'll go when the low quality CX 750 is gone.

I'm finding it very comfortable and I've now spent quite a lot of hours using it. If I did want to push it further back I could do so quite easily, but around 2' (maybe a few inches more than that) feels good. I would expect it's much more comfortable for long periods of use than say a VR headset, especially with the much higher pixel density.

I'm still absolutely loving it!

Just for a bit more info on my setup, for the past few years I've had four screens connected to my PC in three different rooms, with HDMI cables running through the walls. The PC itself is in my office, and has been connected to a 24" monitor and a (recently deceased) 42" plasma, along with a 32" TV in my bedroom and a 55" plasma in the living room. All were 1080p which made cloning the display simple. Depending on the usage (gaming/entertainment vs productivity) I would use different screens, but I never used the 24" for gaming as it felt too small, and the 42" plasma in the office was great for immersion but obviously a bit low in pixel density. The 4K screen is likely to let me do a lot more gaming in the office!

How are some getting such high clocks out of the box on thier 1070s and im not even getting 1900....I have the MSI Gaming X ..and even when im in game the core clock is all over the place ?

Davanius · 1 Sep 2016 at 12:47

Just putting it here that my msi gaming x has become faulty. Micron memory has failed so when I get another card, I will be reporting in again if I am allowed.

Edit: Seems I jumped the gun a bit. My Card is ok. The graphics corruption I was getting was due to the latest driver as I saw it with my 960 card as well. The last few drivers have been awful from nvidia.

Sorry peeps.

Very varied core quality - they are pushing the boundaries of the 16nm process as well - at the size of a 1070 core around 1860MHz or so was the expected top end for designs realistically so anything over that is ambitious.

Mine is relatively well behaved - mostly sits at 1911MHz though once temps flatline at ~79C it drops back to 189xMHz with reason power limit and after about an hour of gaming drops back to 186xMHz with reason reliable voltage - while I've seen others that will cycle all over the place from 17xx to 20xxMHz.

foster grant · 1 Sep 2016 at 14:26

Hmm.....with my G1 1070 ( which i had to RMA) for the first three days the clock was also up and down ...then seemed to settle ?...at around 1974 , and would mostly sit at that .

ToejaM · 2 Sep 2016 at 09:18

A question... msi afterburner allows me to change the power settings to 120% which auto adjusts the warning temp.. will this be safe, as in.. is this number locked by the card as safe? Will this affect the max on the boost clock to?

It's currently boosting to anywhere from 1960 to 1987 I've seen at its highest. Zotac amp on stock settings

IvanDobskey · 2 Sep 2016 at 09:53

So which is the best value 1070 at the moment?

Thinking of picking one up soon as people are still being unrealistic with what they want for a second hand 980ti.

May as well get a 1070 for a few quid more

orbitalwalsh · 2 Sep 2016 at 11:59

such a nice card! but my only thing with it and every other expensive card with a backplate... no heatpads to turn the plate into a working heatsink.
having used alphacool blocks with the backplate being a large heatsink, it works!
