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

I picked up the Gainward Dual fan GTX 1070 for £350. Can't argue with that price tbh, performs around old Titan X and uses very little power to do it.
I can live with this price tag too, the GTX 1080 price point left me with buyers remorse, especially since I'm only at 1080P/1440P. I sold that one soon after buying lol.

Just ordered a MSI 1070 Gaming X 8G, from overclockers.
First Nvidia card ever, and cant wait to get my hands on it.
Maybe I'm lucky but my Palit super jetstream boosts to 2057 none stop and with a 1/1 fan curve never gets above 55cHow 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 ?

Great card and I advise you to try out a few different drivers if you notice any issues. I had a scare thinking my card was done for but it turned out to be a driver issue.
In my experience in actual gameplay the 1070 is running quite a bit faster than the Maxwell Titan X in a good few titles (especially a lot of the stuff I actually play) as well as being atleast as fast in anything else.
Hi Davanius, and thanks for the kind words.
Could you please expand, on the kind of issue's you had?
Personally I am more worried about the 1070 posting on my old system.
Thankfully I secured a beta Bios update for my ageing motherboard Asrock z68 extreme4 gen3,
but will leave it as a last resort, if all else fails too work.
Hi there, got a parcel from Overclockers today(nice one on the delivery guys, i thought i'd missed the cut-off point) containing 2 new cards
One for me and one for the missus, i got the Asus Strix oc 1070, and she went for the Zotac amp extreme 1070........it's like an early christmas
I'm upgrading from a 280x toxic and she's upgrading from a 7970 ghz vapor-x, i'm using a 2,560×1,440 Asus MG278Q, so i'm really looking forward to this boost, she's still on 1080p, but it's an Asus 144hz monitor, so being a witcher fan, she's looking forward to cranking those details up
I'll show you some phone pics first and then maybe talk about my opinions of the cards since i can easily compare them.
Zotac Amp Extreme 1070:
Asus Strix Gaming oc 1070:
So, after seeing both the cards i can say that just on appearances alone, the the Zotac card looks and feels like the more premium card.
The card is big and solid, and will cover 3 slots pretty much, but it really does look and feel great quality, for those with sag concerns only time will tell, but if it's secured with a screw as well it should be fine
I was watching her play the witcher earlier with her oohing and ahhing at details she'd never seen before, i was also watching the fans on the gpu, and they were kinda stopping and starting, great feature btw, but very disconcerting for someone coming from constant fan action on a gpu lol, i asked her to stick it off and check the temps, which never got over 64 degrees, so as far as the Zotac is concerned it's a big thumbs up
Now for the Strix, well she's lovely, i have a maximus VIII formula, so it is right at home, and i can control the aura lighting with a seperate graphics AURA program (would maybe be nice if they had an all in one prog that could do mobo and gpu rgb changes, but not sure it's even possible tbh).
It's obviously a good bit lighter than the Zotac, and for a £50 premium over the Zotac i would really expect a metal shroud rather than plastic, but nonetheless it still looks amazing, it's also a lot thinner than the Zotac and only has one 8 pin connector on it as oppose to 2 on the Zotac, from what i've read though that shouldn't make much if any difference anyway.
Not had a chance to play any games on the Strix yet, but it's sitting at 30 degrees idle at the moment, so thats pretty damn good.
I'll maybe revisit this post to add a little info on clocks etc once we've both tried more games.
tldr: we both love our new cards
