Revisiting The GTX 1070 in 2021 - How Well Does it Hold up?

[@RafLpz]

I bought Gigabyte gtx1070 OC version today for $400. Upgrading from an rx570 4gb. All I want is a card for high settings 1080p and streaming. This is the best card for the ridiculous prices today for my need.

[@Yoshi-pw7yo]

i have the same gpu you had lmao

[@catfishxX]

I bought that card for 100€. Which was an insane deal

[@45eno]

Snagged a PNY 1070 for $140 at the end of 2019. During peak gpu pricing I bought 4 used cards Zotac mini 1060 3gb $90 MSI 1660 Ventus $180 & $220 Gigabyte Gaming OC 6700xt $450(feb 2022 and they were still $900 on Newegg) And now that the market is improving I just bought a 1070 Asus Strix for $100. Hopefully he will sell me his other one. I have a bunch of media and family midrange PCs and 1070 level of performance is more than enough for the family.

I sold my EVGA 1070 for $340...I thought it was a fair price considering I had to pay an additional $280 over MSRP for a 3070. The 1070 is a very capable card if you're in a pinch. Don't expect great frame rates at 1440p but 1080p was solid as the video mentions. Playing a game on my AMD 5800x system, the total watts pulling from the power supply was around 400W so definitely make sure you have at least a 500W power supply. I always try to go about 200W above the total power draw so the PSU can stay in its optimal efficiency.

[@ACIDDROPPROD]

Got the same card for 200 and it’s an absolute beast definitely worth trying to get it

[@debonair6764]

I bought my Palit Super Jetstream GTX 1070 about 5 years ago for about USD$599 when i had a i5 2500K. 3 yrs ago upgraded my CPU to i7 8700K, planned then to swap it out for RTX 2080 Ti but didn't. I missed out on the RTX 3080 launch period as the prices were about USD$950-1200 and I thought then it was too much markup. Today I eyed an Asus RTX 3080 Ti Tuf OC in stock for about USD$2013 but held off. Rumors' going about price hikes soon, but then Ethereum should stop POW too. Contemplating my GTX 1070 to last another 2 years to RTX 4000?!?#@%!

[@lenny_6558]

I upgraded from a 960 4Gb to a 1070 today and got it on ebay for 300 bucks. I rly love it tho

[@siggismalls6269]

I'm using a GTX 1070 myself and RDR2 runs at 75 FPS with some settings turned down... still looks amazing and runs smooth with a i3 12100F

[@damianfratczak7856]

Wasn’t display port only way at the time to use 144hz refresh rate? Normal HDMI have limit from what I remember to 120hz I might be wrong though

[@tedbundy6882]

I just bought a dell edition out of a alienware for $89 shipped off ebay. Works fine. It's actually a MSI Aero 1070

[@lordsheldor]

I bought one yesterday for 350€ (390$) prices are still high af

[@HoverflyTheoBanjo]

just built a new rig with pretty much all second hand parts, and loving my 1070 so far - replayed the RE2 and 3 remakes just to enjoy having everything turned up to max (I had a 1030 before - urgh. and before that a ~10 year hiatus from gaming, so I have lots of catching up to do.) one thing I noticed, which might be specific to my card (Zotac 1070 mini) was that it was running at 82 degress when maxed out, which seemed a bit warm. switching on the software fan control on MSI afterburner got it down to around 76 degrees, and I could probably get it cooler if I didn't mind a louder fan. I also experimented with vsync to keep it running cooler, which worked, but I feel like I notice input lag more than screen tearing for anything with mouse-look.

[@jojorice1705]

i''ve had my 1070 TI SC for just about a year now. i love it. i passed my 370 FTW+ down to my girlfriend's rig in the living room. 1070 gang living that life!

[@manistechshack]

Oooh yea, 1070 gang living good...

[@oscarsanderson9781]

Nice video, carry on doing what you do best.

[@manistechshack]

Thank you!

[@nucIeer]

Bought a STRIX triple fan one for 140$ (180 cad) The only problem is that one of the fan blades is broken off

[@certs743]

I didn't mind paying extra as much when I got a hold of a gently used 1070 Amp Extreme edition from Zotac. Loving it so far.

[@gtPacheko]

I traded an RX 6400 + $100 for a Amp Extreme 1070. Best deal ever.

[@sss._.2131]

in my country it was not selling less than 700 dollars but i bought it for 600 cu i was without a gpu for 7 months and wanted to play games again. Not proud of my decision but it gets the job done, i bought the gtx 1070 gigabyte aorus v2.

[@legendaryhumper]

HAHAHA

[@MH-gy6qv]

My coworker gave me an ASUS ROG 1070 for free because he upgraded to a 3080. I'm super excited considering I was about to spend a few hundred on a used 970 on ebay. Can't wait for the rest of my build to arrive so I can get my new rig up and running.

[@legendaryhumper]

God damn, nice

[@hircine92h]

for real? what a good dude. enjoy the card .

[@dyeysquared7626]

what a nice dude, happy gaming!

[@MH-gy6qv]

Yeah, has been a great card the last month, but I was finally selected thru EVGA's website. So now I have a 3060 in the mail. Going to build my step son a new pc with the 1070 and a Ryzen 7 2700x as the starting point.

[@legendaryhumper]

@@MH-gy6qv Nice! :)

[@Balkancuga]

You ran RDR2 at 1440p?

[@gruffinators]

[@jojorice1705]

[@chris-ze5eg]

[@hircine92h]

[@SamLoki]

It's like $400-500 right now on ebay

[@AngeloGarcia-fi3un]

Hello I bought palit jetstream 1070ti version for 440$ what do you think guys 😔, not brand new 😞

[@BetalerIkkeSkatt]

440 for a 1070 ti isnt worth it imo but atleast you got a good gpu

[@main_stream_media_is_a_joke]

I got myself a zotac GTX 1070ti for $ 220..... before the price shit show. It's basically a sleepy GTX 1080.
