Some people already own all the water cooling kit back from the days when air cooling wasn't good enough. It's still preferable of course if you have it.

reference advantages?
released first, some people just cannot wait for aftermarket cards.
usually is cheaper (although with nvidia tax this time round that is a much less relevant factor now)
supposedly better for sli setups and small cases basically where air space is cramped.
In my experience the reference cooler sucks, last time I used one, my pc sounded like concorde and the card got hot. The affect of in case temps is minimal, I think it removed something like 1-2C to off my cpu temp.

I am missing of the list
Sorry and fixed.

OK the Gigabyte Windforce 1070 is going back due to the horrendous coil whine on it, which you could hear clearly over my case fans on full load.
So what to replace it with is the question. I really fancy the Zotac AMP Extreme but at £30 extra is it worth it? Is the normal AMP also faring as well as that's the same price as the Gigabyte (£419.99)? I notice there's great reviews in here for the Palit Gamerock Premium but sadly that's out of stock so doesn't look to be an option.

So finally decided, sold my 980 Ti's and have just bought a Zotac 1070 AMP Extreme. Arrived this morning and is already in the rig. Huge in size but oh so quiet. Never going back to a blower design ever.
Took some fps benchmarks of some games installed on my system last night with the 980 Ti in both reference and oc clocks. Mightily impressed with the increase im getting. Just need to work out if overclocking is any different with pascal!
Also when did RGB lighting become a thing with graphics cards?!

I just noticed that OcUK just got a load of stock come in for the GTX 1070.
Does anyone know what the GeForce GTX 1070 Windforce 2x is like? I haven't seen any reviews for it yet.

Nabbed a Zotac founders on the weekend and arrived today. Only given it a brief go on Tomb Raider, but it looks pretty damn good! Makes my 780 that I did have look pathetic.
45fps bare minimum, 48 with DX12, every setting as high as it can go (including the hair stuff) and AA off (I personally don't need it). Changed to the very high preset and was low 50s but visually made no difference. Generally hit 60-65. This appears to be a pretty intensive area as I had to stop playing with the 780, so guess the less intensive ones will blast it.
Think I'm going to be very happy with it, especially for £340
GPU-Z is showing 1506 base, 1683 boost, so I'm assuming there's a fair bit of headroom. Is there a tool more worthwhile using for the 10 series or is Afterburner still the go to? Read that EVGA were working on something new.

PrecisionX has some interesting new features (like an automatic overclock tuner that plots your voltage curve for you), but they're exclusive to EVGA cards and disable themselves on any other manufacturer's card, which is a shame. Afterburner is still the king in general.
Also afterburner lets you play with the curve - in manual mode, which is what you want to use anyway for the final stable overclock.
A comparison on a light game.
FF10 HD 1080p windowed.
gtx 970 at base 3d clocks 1.043v 45-48C temps.
gtx 1070 at base 3d clocks just 0.825v (wow) 41-42C temps.
Both cases power management in nvidia profile for the game set to full speed, so thats why the card isnt using clocks in the lower 3d range.

What res?
Mine boosts to 1936 out of the box and does about 2083 max.
Most should do around 2100...you have a lot of headroom.
Running at 1440. Yeah I'd read a lot about 2100 being mentioned. I presume that's boost speed?
I think most is a bit of an exaggeration, even some review samples don't get up there.
Tempted to order the Palit jetstream - it doesn't look blingy like the other Palits.
How quiet is the jetstream? Any coil whine?
Does anyone know if there's any real difference between this and the other Palit cards? I'm getting confused as there's a huge variety of prices, yet from everything I've read performance is pretty much the same across the board?
The fans on my MSI Gaming X stop when its idle. I had forgotten that my MSIAB custom fan curve was still on from the old 780, was running them constantly at around 800RPM, card was sitting around 30c in these warmer days.
Mine has no coil whine either, and will happily sit at 2050 (haven't tried pushing it further yet) with a little helping hand.

You should find that you can enable FXAA without any noticeable performance hit (maybe 1-2 FPS). I think on most modern GPUs and games this is the case but I could be wrong.
