Not really, unless you're sensitive to noise. None of the fancy custom cards really overclock any better, because they're locked down at a chip level. Pretty much all the more expensive cards offer is lower temperatures and silence to go with them.

The Pascal GTX 1070 Owners Thread

The non-blower cards do maintain the higher boost clocks better though due to better thermals. Pascal is very sensitive to temps and will downclock the boost when things start getting warm.
My EVGA 1070 FE max boost was almost as good as my MSI Gaming X, however the FE would drop to around 1950mhz with 70% fan speed (I couldn't hack the noise with any higher fan speed), where as the Gaming X will sit happily at 2050mhz with around 60% fan speed which is very quiet.

Just changed my order over to an MSI Armour OC edition as stock of the Zotac AMP didnt look like it was going to arrive in time to be shipped for my delivery slot. Can't wait for this to arrive!

The wait will be worth it!

Should be a massive improvement over the MSI 670 OC it replaces (which isn't a bad card at 1080p but does have to have some eye candy turned down to maintain good fps).
Looking forward to trying DSR as only at 1080p at the moment however looking for a either "reasonably priced" 2560x1440p g-sync monitor or nice 1080p 144hz monitor next as well as another 8GB of RAM as I think some games may test the limits of the 8GB I currently have.
Why couldn't I have just stuck to console gaming my wallet hurts!

Very impressed with the Armor so far after it just arrived.
Quick test in Doom shows I've gone from 60-80 FPS on low settings to 100+ on ultra

They're all the same.
Game-Rock on it's way, the only really unique card - cause looks proud to be hideous
Seriously though, all the Palits have the best prices as OCUK bought them before Brexit (or something similar) - if you don't mind the bulky cooler they're the best price-performance 1070 you can get.
Game-Rock Premier also has binned chips and they're just 409£.

Here is another entry
Had a quick play around, my founders one does 2100Mhz compared to my MSI Aero @2062Mhz. Needed 100% fan speed, but i'm water cooling anyways.

Got bored waiting for the 1070 Amp (can see it's now in) and switched to Palit Gamerock Premier just in time for Saturday delivery. It may be chunky and somewhat naff design but don't give a monkey's with those clock speeds.
So excited this morning like Christmas eve waiting for Father Christmas to come and empty his big sacks !.
Sorry was watching Deadpool again anyhoo.
I've preordered the gtx 1070 hof and saw it was in stock so like a impatient child I've been checking my email to check for delivery details and Nada looks like I'm on the naughty list

It is amazingly quiet. I mean, I've just been using a Radeon 290 which sounds like a hoover, so anything should sound quiet. But even under moderate load I can't hear mine over the other fans, which is an improvement over my old 980Ti as well. I also have my PC situated in the living room and the other half is very happy at how quiet it is.
someone please do a review on the 1070 HOF
it does look epic
Would do it if I could get my hands on it.
