Heads up if your looking at Msi for a 1070, reading posts, it could be down to the shift in Msi using Micron GDDR5 instead of Samsung so might be best to avoid Msi until they resolve the problem.



***UPDATE***:

New BIOS out supposed to address the Micron memory issues.

It is mentioned in the 1070 thread.

Never saw it, besides it's better having it's own thread imo especially as somewhere is flogging the Armor with a £40 discount, whether it's a coincidence or trying to shift stock quickly after the announcement idk.

I thought it was only the 1080s that used GDDR5X ?

Fixed op thanks for the headsup.
