GeForce GTX 1070 Mini

[leoncuprar]

Evening all

Decided to go NVidia as vega seems a disappointment and I don't want to wait any longer.

Thinking of buying the GeForce GTX 1070 Mini. Any reason not to pair this with

(Asus P8Z68-V GEN3 , 2500k, 2 x ssd , 2 x mechanical disks, XFX 650W XXX Edition Modular '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply. )

Will also be purchasing a Dell S2716DG from elsewhere.

Thanks

Thanks for all the replies folks, happy to say I've ordered the card to match my Dell monitor which is arriving tomorrow. Quite a step up from my 7870

So today installed the 1070 and hooked it up to my new dell monitor with DP cable .. no problems at all.. single 8 pin power connection...
Followed some screen settings from tftcentral and it looks great..not tried an ICC profile yet though.
2500k is clocked at 4.2. Just ran a heaven bench, scored 2560 ... 1440p , high, dx11



A couple of times when I've powered pc on, the screen wakes up but goes straight into power saving mode. Removing power from monitor and plugging it back in again solves it but I've not had time to investigate that further..

Overall very happy so far

My Zotac 1070 mini arrived on Wednesday and its been great so far.
I have a 2500k OC'd to 4.6 and ive not had any issues playing at 1440p so far.
Destiny 2 beta looked stunning on PC , gutted my friends and I chose to all buy the xbox version other games ive tried are Witcher 3 , Rise of the Tomb Raider , Gears 4 and Horizon 3.

Its a lot quieter than i thought it would be too , i was expecting the fans to have to work a bit harder with everything crammed in a small card.

I thought the same regarding quietness, much quieter than my old 7870..bonus. it reached around 75 degrees during the single heaven bench I did.

Awesome thanks mate. Can I ask how much the card was? Is there a 1070 mini that is classed as the best or are they all similar?

I will definitely have to look at overclocking my 2500k as I feel it struggles now!

£359 from ocuk.. as far as I know there is only the one zotac 1070 mini..
Get that 2500k overclocked, lots of guides out there if your unsure how to.. Do you have a decent cooler ?
