Which Geforce GTX 1070 to buy? 13 different 1070s compared.

[@comforttravelmoroccoprivat5290]

I did buy already the GTX 1070 G1 Gaming, and that's the one i had with the GTX 970 , never had any problem even when overclocking as it was always the most stable one, so yeah very happy with the results and thanks so much for the video

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+Toughzaoui Mouàad glad i could help!

[@ProjectMakeleio]

hi there. I had my eye set on the msi gaming but changed mobo plan to asus viii hero and now i want the asus strix oc. should i get it? i do not want to oc seriously or maybe wont even overclock.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Well if you're okay with paying a little extra for it then sure. You'll be boosting up to the mid 1900's automatically anyway with either card.

[@irfank20a29]

Really like the table u made. easy to compare the cards. thx a bunch! :)

[@BrazilianFootball.]

Gigabyte Gtx1070 g1 gaming vs msi gtx1070 gaming x Which is best....?

[@-amitkalderon1225]

I have the MSI GAMING X and it's fantastic. the twin frosters V are great and really quiet, it has good pre OC and a nice RGB lighting and overall design.

[@jumpman2326]

Amit Kalderon the asus are better

[@silverwerewolf975]

No, the msi is the best

[@axsaull3350]

Just came across your channel. great video. One of the simplest and informative I've seen on all of these new cards.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Awesome, thanks!

[@Steven-jn9py]

Asus 1070 looks bad ass 3 fans and RGB? Hell ya.Take my money！

[@lukasbb3424]

Steven Wang same with gigabyte one...

[@giraldiego]

Hello there, I just had to decide today about what card to get from a local offer and after my research, I also picked the Gigabyte G1. Thanks for the video!

[@maximilianmeier2184]

Amazing video! Keep up the good work :)

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Thanks!

[@Mark00747]

Awesome video! Please make one about the GTX 1060!

[@opufy]

I'm looking between cards to buy. I want to get either (in the 1070 series) an FTW, STRIX, G1, sea hawk, or EVGA hybrid. You speak well. And your videos have real facts in them instead of other people talking and reading the specifications like an audiobook. I like that chart you used and then explaining after in detail. Subbed.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Thanks! If you're choosing between those cards I would definitely recommend the EVGA Hybrid, if money is of no issue. The cooling solution on that is very "elegant" (quoting GamersNexus). It's basically the FTW card under a watercooler.

[@opufy]

I looked into them more and I'm very like noob with computer stuff so I spent all night researching cards. I'm thinking the hybrid might be too much for a "casual" like me. I'm thinking like you said the G1... But the Asus strix is priced the same for me so I should just get that cause at that point like you said, they're all the same shit at the end but you want a quiet and cooler card maybe some aesthetics wouldn't hurt either. So now I think maybe the MSI gaming x or the Asus rog strix or the EVGA ftw lmao I can't decide bro

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Well first of all do you actually need a 1070? What games do you play and what monitor do you have? If you have an old monitor, then maybe think of upgrading your monitor first. But otherwise the MSI cards are actually very good, if they're the same price, especially the Gaming series. EVGA are also great, if you set up a custom fan curve for it (it comes very hot out of the box).

[@opufy]

Well I'm open to play any games I want no restrictions if the opportunity arises and I have the Samsung 28 inch 4K monitor. (Wish I bought a gsync) and yeah maybe the MSI or Asus are the two best choices I guess. Asus is like 560 cad for me and the rest are like 600 cad

[@opufy]

I'm curious about the zotac amp (ZT-P10700C-10P). Is that card any good? I mean performance wise they're all the same. So like you say, cooling, loudness, overall durability

[@GSekong]

So i got a gigabyte windforce because of this video 3 months ago and my temperature has never went above 63c fully overclocked, I think i got a golden card.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+eking11 Gigabyte cards tend to run cool out of the box! Glad this video helped you :)

[@KirKaori]

How many fans?

[@bball312]

What is your opinion on the ASUS 1070 Dual? I am debating between that and the Gigabyte G1 gaming from above. They both are very similar spec wise, but the asus dual doesn't seem to have any reviews anywhere. I know it is missing a backplate (is that a major deal?), no rgb lighting (not a deal breaker for me). I know it will fit in my case for sure, whereas the G1 will be close. Any help would be appreciated!

[@foreignsgamingtech]

I'd suggest getting the cheaper one.

[@capcom23]

I've got myself the Windforce OC from Gigabyte. It's a great card!

[@janpanek6284]

What are your temps? I have just installed it and it goes to 82 degrees in the Unigine Heaven with fans around 2788 rpm sounding like a vacuum cleaner.

[@janpanek6284]

How did you managed to get the Windforce to run at 65 degrees? I have just installed it, launched Unigine Heaven and got to 82 degrees with fans at 2788 rpm making it sound like a vacuum cleaner.

[@zablogful]

I got a g1 gaming for 600$cad, I don't regret it. The card run +- 2000mhz in oc mode from the gigabyte sofware and stay at 65c while gaming gpu intensive game like ark survival. Also the card is almost silent while gaming and you have a nice customizable RGB. The only downside is that gigabyte makes weird software.

[@dlinkdj]

newegg sells it for $560 now on sale

[@zablogful]

dlinkdj shipping and tax=600

[@brunogomes3259]

You just select the Oc mode on the gigabyte software??

[@lourencocazorla6759]

Lance de la table g

[@DrOneOneOne]

I have the Zotac Amp Extreme, and it boosts over 2Ghz out of the box depending on the title. At those speeds & temperatures (I'm in Ireland, so it's naturally cooler here even in the summer and the card peaks around 63-65C), the Amp Extreme is in the top 3 of the fastest 1070s there are. The card is huge, but so is the cooler and it does its job incredibly well. At desktop idle, it passively cools itself with no fan activity up to ~55C.

[@MrSuvvri]

i think im gonna go for zotac amp extreme. Its in the middle of the temps and i dont really care if the cards runs 2°c hotter or cooler. The thing is that its "inaudiable" which i would love to have.

[@stalkerlohh]

are they pretty much the same when it comes to games running high ? im thinking about MSI GeForce® GTX 1070 ARMOR 8G OC. any thoughts ?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

They will perform within 5% of each other. Main differences are in noise and temperature levels. Most card with dual fans will achieve 1800-1900 boost by themselves, with a manual OC nearing 2000 Mhz. So an Armor (OC or non-OC - doesn't matter, the difference will be in advertised clocks, but in reality they will be much higher anyway) card will be totally fine.

[@OmerTheGreatOne]

ill share my experience here. I have gigabyte g1 1070 and it NEVER runs below 1900mhz and Never goes over 62"C. its not very expensive. in terms of noise its can be heard when its hot but nothing too annoying. my cpu cooler also gets loud when i am gaming so its a mixture of multiple fan noises. IMO any 1070 is an excellent choice as it is a very efficient architecture so its not very hot. If there is like a 100$ price difference between different 1070s then save your money and get the cheaper one, you will never see that 100$ worth of fps improvement from it.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Great words :)

[@mohammadasyrafmdyusoof9362]

Glad I made the right choice with G1 1070, thanks :D

[@Coraxi]

I'm too scared to buy a gigabyte one, since I've heard of many people having coil whine issues with them.

[@OmerTheGreatOne]

Limbo coil whine is not limited to gigabyte brand. and not all gigabyte cards emit it. but it is your money your choice. i can assure you even if your card emits coil whine the fans in your system will most likely overwhelm it.

[@Coraxi]

I got the msi gtx 1070 armor. So far so good, no coil whine at all. The fans don't turn on until 60 C and it runs cool even on the heaviest games. 60 C is quite average when playing, 70 C is the hottest I've gotten it so far. It's insane how quiet it is compared to my old gtx 770.

[@sykocaine]

I went with the evga FTW 1070, and it has been amazing. Keeps temperatures at 60c on Ark at epic settings. Temps rise to 72c when program set to maximize performance.

[@sanilujin]

ZOTAC GEFORCE GTX 1070 AMP normal edition or MSI GEFORCE GTX 1070 ARMOR ?

[@alessandrocito2767]

Gtx 1070 zotac amp definitely trust me

[@christophetoff3630]

hello!! I have a problem... I dont know wich card i must choose between MSI 1070 armor OC and MSI 1070 gaming x. There is an important different to price so the difference of price is justify? Thx for your answer

[@foreignsgamingtech]

The Gaming X will run a bit cooler, otherwise no difference. I'd say get the Armor OC.

[@christophetoff3630]

ok thx i have see other card its Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 GAMING for 30 dollards more its the better compromise?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

I'd still recommend the MSI Armor.

[@christophetoff3630]

ok i go do that thx you :)

[@smittyjonson6138]

got my g1 1070 at 64 C maxed out on Unigine Valley all air cooled

[@ryanhegarty2936]

Great review, looking forward to the update my friend!

[@monferaigne5061]

MSI GTX1070 for me. Noise level is so slow. Also the style good for black and red theme for your PC.

[@jumpman2326]

Monferaigne I got the asus can you add me on steam we can play :)

[@jumpman2326]

Monferaigne what's your steam name

[@pmAdministrator]

Noise level is slow eh?

[@Ando_ftw]

2:40 So what's "moderate" and "probably moderate" noise levels supposed to mean? Around 33 as the rest?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Yes. That is out of the box and quite subjective though, so keep that in mind.

[@parabalani]

Why there's so many of them in the first place?

[@SirMsuni]

pupicucek2 Because different brands want to produce them to make more money.

[@recoco]

I do not know which one to choose: MSI Gaming X or Xtreme from Gigabyte? Gigabyte have better clocks and i cooler so its better ? or this MSI card will have same clocks when i will speed up fans?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

If you ramp up the fans, you may as well get the same temps. It depends on the silicon lottery more - if you get a better binned chip or not, meaning the highest OCs come mostly from luck. But the Gigabyte card should have better cooling and in theory be a bit better overclocker, yes.

[@PLATINUMSWORDS]

The best 1070 isn't even listed on this video. It's the EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Superclocked ACX 3.0. It runs cool and can be OC to well beyond Titan X levels.

[@omegalul9629]

Do you own it?

[@PLATINUMSWORDS]

I run SLI 1070 SC ACX's on my secondary tower for when I have friends come over. It runs just as cool on air as both my Titan X's on water do. So yeah I'm speaking from experience.

[@omegalul9629]

Platinum Swords what case do you use these in? hows the cpu cooled in said system? I really consider getting this card and I'd like to know how your cooling setup works so I can adapt stuff :D edit: fans. forgot about those, how many fans do you use?

[@PLATINUMSWORDS]

The 1070's are in a ThermalTake View 27. It looks nice but I don't like how flimsy the case is. The processor (I7 6700) is cooled with a Asetek 550LC push/pull config since I'm overclocking the hell out of it. Considering there's no vent on top of the case it keeps pretty cool. As far as the fans go, you can only put 4 in ( 3 in front & 1 in back), but I have my Asetek loaded up in the rear in a push/pull config to make it 5 fans.

[@resdyne9590]

Platinum Swords really because that's the one I'm getting tommorrow 😍😍

[@teclasification]

Im building a pc and i dont know if i should get the amp extreme or the g1 gaming also, should i get a 1440p monitor or should i go with 1080p?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Go with 1440p if you plan to upgrade your GPU in the next two years, otherwise 1080p144hz is also a good option.

[@EnnTomi1]

i wish coil whine can be calculated by brand....

[@David-wc7ow]

Zotac over 9000 Asus Under 0.1

[@EnnTomi1]

and funny thing is i just had that asus whine and now my zotac is completely silent.....guess i am just lucky

[@Coraxi]

You got coil whine on asus 1070? I'm deciding between asus dual or msi armor

[@EnnTomi1]

MSI for life. gaming x.

[@aquacelot]

I had an asus rx 580 that had insane coil whine in almost every game. I could even hear it through the headphones. The fans were also rattling like crazy and the temperatures reaches 82 C at 80% fan speed in 22 C room. Got a replacement and the replacement also had the same problem. Just returned that shit and got a 1060

[@Aron-iw7pq]

I'm choosing between Gigabyte gtx 1070 windforce oc, EVGA 1070 ftw gaming, Zotac 1070 amp, MSI 1070 aero OC or ASUS 1070 dual OC. I'm building my first PC since 2006, and there's so much to choose from. They're all around the same price, so does it really matter? Could you recommend one? If this is too much to bother with for you, that's fine. Just casting the net wide :)

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Hey, out of the ones you mentioned I'd recommend either the Gigabyte or Zotac card! The EVGA is also very good, but they had a batch of bad parts on some of the cards, so I can't guarantee you that you won't get a faulty card that will explode. The Gigabyte and Zotac are the best options for you.

[@rednax5397]

So overall which card is the best would you say?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Depending on your area, it's either the Hall of Fame, Inno3D iChill, or MSI Gaming and ASUS out of the more common ones.

[@rednax5397]

Well, I plan to use the card for recording and gaming, any particular card good for that whilst remaining at a decent temperature? I also live in the Uk if that helps in any way and thanks for replying :D

[@foreignsgamingtech]

They all perform more or less the same. If you can get the Hall of Fame from Galax, then I'd recommend that the most.

[@rednax5397]

Yeah, but do some have better cooling than others?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Those are more or less equal. Gigabyte Xtreme and Zotac AMP! Extreme run a few degrees cooler, but they are also extremely big, which puts strain on the PCIe slot.

[@ElevenNine]

I was thinking about getting the MSI GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G but will it be better than the other cards? and also, will it fit i nmy computer motherboard? P55M-UD2 is my motherboard.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Hey, the Gaming X is a great 1070 and it will easily fit into your motherboard, but what is your CPU, and what's your monitor? The 1070 is more of a 1440p card.

[@ElevenNine]

I was thinking about getting a ASUS VS248HR 24 inch but I don't know, what would you recommend? (I currently am using a SilverCrest FullHD support monitor)

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Depends on your budget. Sometimes the monitor makes a bigger difference than a new video card. I'd recommend going with either a 1080p144 or 1440p60 monitor, but those are fairly expensive. The *best* would be to get a G-sync monitor, but those are upwards of $500.

[@ElevenNine]

Alright thanks, I'll think about it. Great video by the way!

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Thanks! Good luck. If you have any more questions, you can DM me on twitter or here :)

[@GamingwithSWO]

Thx for the info getting that 1070

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Good luck!

[@Korribane1]

Great video! It is surprisingly hard to find a good comparison between the Aftermarket cards in terms of Cost/Noise/Temps/Performance. I myself am getting a Asus STRIX 1080 (or 1080 Ti) when they become available in stock where I live. Thanks for the video and I am looking forward to the 1080 one! Should be rather similar results, but :)

[@Silentship98]

zotac amp masterrace here

[@AbazabaA6]

+Ion K. No it's not, I have a Zotac Amp Extreme, I run the fan at 60% and see between 60-64 degrees ranging on the game. I also have a Cooler Master Haf X case.

[@Silentship98]

Ion K. I am sorry I haven´t looked for the temps but as far as I know, that is normal...

[@foreignsgamingtech]

That's pretty high. Which case are you using, how many fans?

[@Silentship98]

foreign's gaming tech it´s pretty high when the GPU is on full load?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Yeah, unless you're in a very tiny case with ambient temperatures around 26-27.

[@f4z0]

Nice vid, the only problem is in temp. The difference between those cards could be Ambient Tº. Very little youtubers speak in Delta Tº (gamer nexus, OC3D, etc.) I'd recommend to be careful in those two parameters while reading this info. An inaudible card may sound like a Jet engine if the ambient is 10ºC offset.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Yeah, those are estimates for out of the box performance. Ambient doesn't necessarily differ more than 3-4 degrees, but in my future videos (including the already released 1080 video) I dumped the temperatures and instead made a video about setting up custom fan curves to fix problems with hot cards out of the box, like the EVGA ones.

[@blizzaroxxx]

I bought the Zotac 1070 amp extreme and It can't fit in my case :(

[@foreignsgamingtech]

I think they make coolers with one of the craziest sizes.

[@wlagallina]

ahahahah

[@blizzaroxxx]

Demolition s Fuck you, man. :(

[@blizzaroxxx]

***** I still can fit it in but with the expense of losing the Hard disk bay :(

[@wlagallina]

give it to me!!

[@HighClassUnreleased]

FINALLY, I was searching for a vid like this and I found it! :D Great!

[@cristianzex]

zotac all the way.

[@simon785]

I can get either a 1070 strix OC or the 1070 armour OC for the same price not sure which one too get I've got a black/white MSI MB and its all going in a corsair 400C case so the armour would fit it the best but I'm worried its too loud ??? I live in a hot climate so cooling is a hot topic... any suggestions

[@foreignsgamingtech]

For the same price the Strix card is definitely a better buy!

[@jumpman2326]

I got the asus rog strix 1070

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Nice one!

[@clashcomk5441]

Trane SFC do you liked It?

[@JesusChrist-em1iz]

If it's boosting by itself do any of these graphic cards need to be overclocked or would it be pointless to overclock?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+Jesus Christ you can still get an extra 150-200 mhz by manually overclocking out of most of these. The main difference between the coolers would be the noise and temp levels.

[@Hunderteam50]

if u want to take the gtx 1070 gaming z just take the 8g and overclock it byyourself much cheaper

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Exactly my thoughts. The main difference of the Gaming Z from the bunch is the LED on the backplate.

[@Hunderteam50]

yep but i just bought a special led and instal it xD

[@Hunderteam50]

btw nice video

[@Hunderteam50]

for me the msi still the best just cause of the desgin cause i dont want to start paint my graphics cards

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Yeah, I've held the MSI Gaming cards and they feel really premium.

[@jamesmcarthur25]

Thinking of getting a 1070 but not sure what one to get..my cpu is a i7 700 , with a 144hz monitor. I currently have a 1060 6GB but looking to upgrade , any suggestions ?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

What is the exact model of your CPU? GPUs in general are horribly overpriced right now, so I wouldn't recommend getting anything, really. Your 1060 is totally fine for 1080p144 gaming.

[@harryosborn5647]

msi armor is good

[@adidoesntloveme-3780]

Harry Osborn meh

[@KruxoArts]

Would you recommend the MSI 1070 Aero OC with a blowerstyle fan over the Armor version? Those two cost the same for me.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Only if you have poor airflow in your case. The Armor is better in almost every regard, apart from small enclosures.

[@KruxoArts]

Both of those cards do not have backplates, does that even matter tho?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Not necessarily. It looks cool, yeah, but backplates improve cooling only in very rare situations.

[@KruxoArts]

Okay, thank you for your quick replies! I'm thinking of building my first pc with either a 1070 or 480 depending on how much money I get on my birthday but also depending on the price of either of the cards at that time. I've seen some good prices for both cards, especially the 480 in the UK.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

A 1070 is definitely better than a 480 though! By the time you get your money AMD's Vega cards may also release, so you may have more options by then too :)

[@oxfordbambooshootify]

I don't understand something. Will core clock affect maximum overclocking frequencies?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Yes, of course. But out of the box most of the 1070s will boost much higher than the advertised boost clock, so paying more for the same cooler with a "higher pre-overclock" is, in my opinion, a waste of money.

[@anonimas12]

I plan on getting the g1, should I maybe perhaps get extra cooling? I don't intend to game using EXTREME SUPER ULTRA 4K settings.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

What do you mean extra cooling? Like the Xtreme Gaming card? I'd suggest getting the cheaper card really, and setting up a custom fan curve. Out of the box the G1 Gaming will be really cool, and the Xtreme gaming will be even cooler.

[@rymdskrotet]

Unforunately, I got the Asus 1070 Dual OC. It has to be the most noiest GPU in the 1070-spectra, right? I actually is about to switch it for something else. Any recommendations? Since I dont need better performance than the 1070 OC gives me, I'll stay with the 1070-series. (Yes, the silent mode works, but I dont want my GPU fans to be off)

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Hey man, for a replacement I'd look at the RTX 2060 or GTX 1660 Ti. Those cards are around the same price and usually have great cooling.

[@temptor7585]

I have asus z170a motherboard and want the asus rog strix, but ive heard there are video driver issues when you mix the asus rog strix card with the asus z170a motherboard, wonder if theres any truth to this....

[@bowlofrice1006]

[@paulepaz11]

oki thanks

[@lebronjames6316]

I have an Asus Sabertooth z170 Motherboard. should i buy the Asus strich gtx 1070? because i can controll the Fans of it with the Thermal Radar 2. original should I buy the Zotac gtx 1070 (the 3 Slot card) because the Zotac looks better and runs a bit cooler?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

You can control fan speed on any 1070 via any program like MSI Afterburner. Get the cheaper card.

[@lebronjames6316]

[@heizhe0617]

so what about ASUS DUALGTX1070 8G. Is MSI GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G better than ASUS DUAL GTX1070 8G right? I wish I could buy the Strix one but my case is too small :(

[@foreignsgamingtech]

The MSI Gaming cards are much better than the Dual ASUS cards. It can be argued that MSI is even better than ASUS Strix, but that totally depends on random factors. I'd say get the MSI Gaming X card.

[@micomagz6521]

can the new seasonic focus+ gold 550w run gtx 1070 or should i get the 650w? planning on buying zotac amp extreme.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+Mico Magz hey, yes, you should be totally fine with a 550w!

[@micomagz6521]

this will be my first time having a gpu with dual pin. can i use 2 separate 8-pin cable(from the psu)? thank you for the fast reply. subs already. :)

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+Mico Magz try using teo separate 8-pins whenever possible, but if you daisy-chain them it should still work fine with the 1070

[@micomagz6521]

I browsed in your youtube ch. to find if you have a review about the Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1070 but i guess you don't have one. So I'm just gonna ask which one do you prefer Zotac AMP Extreme or Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1070? same price here in PH. Thanks a lot for the inputs.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Yeah, I unfortunately don't do reviews yet. You can probably find a review of both of these cards from HardwareUnboxed or GamersNexus though! But personally, I would go with the Gigabyte Aorus out of the two. If I were to choose whichever card, it'd probably be the Strix though, because it has those extra fan headers which I find very useful.

[@mragunathan1627]

is there any fps performance difference between the Windorce and G1? I don't care about the temperature and power consumption

[@NickAshleyOfficial]

This is a very nice article and very well done. Thank you! :) I must go for the one that makes the less noise and I was thinking to buy the Zotac AMP Extreme. Would you say it would be a good choice for that? Would you have other suggestions?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

The AMP! Extreme is the most probable card to get if you want less noise. You may also want to take a look at the Inno3D iChill X4, but I'm not sure if it's available in all regions.

[@NickAshleyOfficial]

Thank you for the recomendation! The iChill X3 seems to be even less noisy. I think this will be a good choice.

[@_CazaBobos]

is the asus gtx 1070 dual oc good? i dont handle very well my english listening so i want some help, i cant decide

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Yes, it's a good card on its own, but if you have the chance to get Inno3D iChill X3 or MSI Gaming X then those are a bit better.

[@_CazaBobos]

foreign's gaming tech theres a problem, i have a white build, asus z170 deluxe, noctis 450, with hue+, so i wanted an rgb car or the dual oc by asus, im between that one and strix, i prefer the dual design because its white. But what are the dissadvantages and advantages of the asus dual?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

It's hotter and louder. And it doesn't have some cool features of the Strix (like the GPU-temperature connected fans). If you're in it for aesthetics, then go for the white dual card, if you want a bit lower temperatures and RGB, then the Strix is the better choice.

[@_CazaBobos]

foreign's gaming tech thank you so much, and what about painting the GPU?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

It's not that easy, but if you've painted parts before or know someone who knows something about painting them, you can do it. Watching some youtube videos on how to paint PC parts may also help, but it's definitely more dangerous than if you have a person irl to help you.

[@pf2611]

Hey! I was wondering, is it worth it to get an MSI ARMOR GTX 1070 for $340? I found a really good one - NEW AS WELL! I think it's worth losing at MOST 5% performance from a top gtx 1070 and saving $100 or so. What do you think? What GPU should I get? My budget is around $375, so I want so save as much as possible.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+SadnessMachine Hey, the Armor is a great cooler for that price! Make sure to check your temps and noise, and if something irritates you, then a custom fan curve will fix your issues :) Go for it and good luck!

[@pf2611]

I can get: GTX 1070 EVGA BLACKOUT ACX 3.0 BLACK EDITION SUPERCLOCKED or MSI ARMOR or GIGABYTE WINDFORCE OC or ZOTAC GTX 1070 AMP! EDITION all for the same price of $350, new. The windforce one would actually be $336 though. I found a REALLY great promotional deal today, so I can basically get any of the above cards for $350 or less. Which should I buy? I was thinking the Zotac, because of the better cooling. I had found an MSI armor deal before at one point, but these new options arose and I wanted to find out.

[@pf2611]

My case supports all the cards (480 mm.) Biggest one is the Zotac one, around 420 mm. The others are like, 300 mm. The gigabyte and Zotac ones have rgb. All 3 have good cooling, but the evga has the SUPERCLOCKED thing. I watched your video and I don't care about clock speed since GPU boost 3.0 is a thing. I am so conflicted about which one to buy. Also, thanks for replying if you do :)

[@МишаГейдорф]

Hi! Could someone help me please? Which of these cards (asus 1070, giga1070,msi1070) work absolutely silent, while not playing? I know that all of them stop fans without high temperature, but which one doesn't have coil whine while not playing and also never turn on fans incorrectly? I have a quite expensive rig of audio with open headphones, so i want my PC to be absolutely silent, when music is playing. Thank you very much! p.s. sound while gaming do not bother

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Hey! Coil whine may be very random and you can't predict it. The more expensive models tend to use better components for their coiled components, but you still can't guess it every time. If you run into serious coil whine issues, then you can contact MSI/Gigabyte/ASUS and explain the situation, and they will most likely help.

[@МишаГейдорф]

foreign's gaming tech thank you for answer!

[@Reactz]

The cheapest GTX 1070's in my country are the ZOTAC 1070 AMP, the MSI 1070 Aero OC, the ASUS 1070 DUAL OC, the EVGA 1070 FTW Gaming and the Gigabyte 1070 WF x2 OC. What ranks would all of these have in perfomance? And which one do you think I should get?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

You should get either the ZOTAC AMP or the FTW Gaming. The EVGA card may have faulty components (or may not - definitely make sure to check with the seller if they will take the card back if it explodes), whereas the Zotac AMP has a little worse cooler.

[@Reactz]

Thanks alot for the fast reply! It was really har choosing which gpu to get, and then which model :P And the retailer has a 2 year warranty so that'll be fine :)

[@SuperHornetX]

I got the Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming and I can run DOOM in 4k no problem at 58C. the fans are quiet and if I play games that are optimized in the slightest, the fans wont even need to be on 90% of the time. still sitting around 48C

[@JoaoSousa-cb1sl]

In my country the 1070 and the 1070ti are the same price. Which one should I get having in mind I have a 1080p 144 Hz monitor that I would like to take advantage of

[@Battleneter]

Good overview for out of the factory settings, however I thought I would share my EVGA GTX 1070 FTW "manual" OC results as a example. I have mine set to boost to 2100mhz and 9040 mem clock so running a fair bit higher than the all cards listed. With a custom fan profile (took around 1 minute to set) I have not seen the GPU temp exceed 58C (room 23C) where the fans are spinning up to around 55% which is barely audible, I cant measure the dB level but I can say it wont annoy anyone :p Temperature is a hard thing to compare as each manufacturer is more or less aggressive with the out of the factory fan profile, another 10% fans might only add a few dB's while others a lot more. The results here do not show which are the "best" coolers as such however tipple slots are likely the best BUT its just not needed. I am also not a fan of this 0% fan until 50C ish on any 1070, I would suggest with any of these cards set a 10-20% fan curve below 40C and ramp modestly to 60C and fairly quickly after. You are going to replace the card LONG before the fans wear out in most cases.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Custom fan profiles save the day, basically :) I see what you mean. Unfortunately all the reviews I read set the EVGA cards at pretty high default temps, most probably because out of the box EVGA favor lower noise over lower heat. 58C is a great result though!

[@Battleneter]

For sure, EVGA have maybe chosen 10C higher to save lets say 2 dB noise, what you have there is entirely fair and its a poor decision in my mind. To clarify 58C is general gaming, seen 61C at about 65% fan under heavy synthetic stress testing with 2100/9040 OC which is still great. Just posting for context however, from what I have seen all these coolers will easily do the job.

[@jackbedford-harman4589]

I got the Zotac AMP extreme. I love it. Doesn't make a sound and I haven't had a single problem with it. It just about fit into my fractal case, without taking the trays out.

[@ChadKenova]

My amp extreme runs in the 40-50s most of the time and barely goes into the 60's have to 100% max it at 2137mhz. But with the pascal cards nothing really helps overclocks except the silicon lottery. But this is my first zotac card usually go with evga but I'm very happy with it, its the coolest quietest card I've owned. Just picked up a asus strix 480 oc to tinker with polaris , and i really like the esthetics of the card. I just hope vega doesn't come out and stomp pascal, but they've had awhile to get it into shape. Coming from a evga 780 classified both these cards are much faster but the 780 is still a fine 1080p card especially if its overclocked.

[@anuragmishra181]

I have 144hz Moniter and should I go for gtx 1070 windforce oc I mean is it worth Getting 144hz Moniter with 1070 windforce oc?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

For 144 hz your CPU will pay an important role as well! Which do you have?

[@ananthakrishnankrishnan7287]

Are these recommendations valid today or are there any new additions? I want to get a 1070 and I want some expert advice :)

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Hey! The TL;DR recommendation would be to get the cheapest dual fan GTX 1070, preferably a triple fan. Gigabyte has a tendency to be the coolest, though their coolers are mostly louder than the others. I'd recommend the MSI Armor or EVGA dual fan card. If you want to spend more, the ASUS card has probably the best cooler, but it's close to the EVGA Hybrid card, which is much better in terms of thermals.

[@ananthakrishnankrishnan7287]

But I thought your excel sheet categorically concluded that the Gigabyte has best cooling. I am from India and the ambients are substantial... so cooler cards are more important. Rest of the criteria are superficial for me as I dont intend to OC or do anything like that. A little more information - my CPU is a i5 4690K

[@ananthakrishnankrishnan7287]

Not to mention the fact that there is a $389 GB G1 gaming card available at amazon as I write this message :). So please let me know

[@ananthakrishnankrishnan7287]

Please do respond, I do need to make a decision eventually and your opinion would help :)

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Hey, if it's much cheaper than the other cards, then the G1 Gaming is still an amazing card!

[@leo197777]

What do you recommend the 1070 zotac amp extreme or gigabyte extreme gaming?

[@CrashHydra]

Take the Zotac, atm the price on amazon is at 336$!!

[@leo197777]

Crash Hydra thx but not the price for me decisive(20 or 30$ difference for 5 or 6 years...),if i take 1070 it's for long time possible,i need take the best in performance.

[@checHHeDDa]

Graphic Card MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming X is 399euro and others are 450+ what shuld i do ?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+Igor Kuzmic definitely get the gaming X!

[@MrZodiac011]

Should I get the Gigabyte GTX 1070 Windforce oc for $599 or Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming for $649aud?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Hey, for $649 AUD you can possibly get the ASUS Strix card (at least according to au.pcpartpicker.com), and that card's much better than the Gigabyte ones you mentioned.

[@MrZodiac011]

foreign's gaming tech Its a bit expensive which sin't really the problem but it probably wont fit in my case or at least very well, i know the EVGA and Gigabyte ones do at least the Windforce and G1 Gaming do and the EVGA sc i believe it is, fits aswell as they are about the same size a my current GPU (evga gtx 960 ssc 2gb)

[@cfelipest]

Help? Gigabyte G1 (Colder?) X Zotac AMP Extreme (Silent?) X MSI Gaming X (???). Which one would YOU prefer? Brazilian fan.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Hey! Out of those I'd get the MSI Gaming, unless the AMP! Extreme is cheaper AND can fit in your case.

[@cfelipest]

I actually have the opportunity to choose between MSI Gaming X ($668,07), Zotac AMP Extreme ($672,81), GigaByte G1 Gaming ($674,58), PNY 8XGPB-OC ($677,48), ASUS Strix Gaming 90YV09N0 ($730,76), MSI Sea Hawk ($749,11) and Galax 70NSH6DHL2OH ($771,31) or 70NSH6DHL2SH ($843,83). ^^ i thought you would recommend Gigabyte for the temperature or Zotac at least noise. Do you think MSI is still the best option? Thank you again.

[@julio2854]

Planning on buying the Asus Rog Strix, recommended?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Definitely! The fan headers are a great feature and the cooler is also very good.

[@VGTerm]

I had to go with a black and white themed rig, just bought the EVGA GTX 1070 FTW hosting it in the h440, ROG strix wasn't in stock and I was afraid it might not fit, now that I see the temperatures I'm abit scared hahah xD good choice?

[@Battleneter]

I have a a EVGA 1070 FTW its a great card seems to be in the upper end for OC's, if you set a manual fan profile which takes about a minute you will be hard pressed to see 60C and she is silent. The FTW is the best looking, has the best LED's by a mile and runs cool with a manual fan cure, nothing to worry about :)

[@VGTerm]

+Battleneter Thanks for the reply! glad to see someone else as passionate about systems as me haha ( i can tell from the "she" is silent " xD

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Definitely no worries here, just make sure to set up a custom fan profile, use Speccy or GPU-Z or whatever to monitor your temperatures and see if the curve should be changed.

[@VGTerm]

+foreign's gaming tech Right, I've been in the master race practically my whole life, but this is my first time building my ultimate rig and my first hands on experience, I don't really know what you mean by fan profile and fan curve , do you think it'll be straight forward or should I do a bit of research on programs? Thanks

[@regardie99]

A fan profile is just you telling the GPU's fans how hard to work at set temperatures. For example, when the card reaches 50C you tell it to blow at 60% power.

[@zazik1658]

Does the gigabyte gtx 1070 g1 gaming is good? Im about to buy new PC

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+Zazik it's pretty good, go for it!

[@mr.imarealsuperhero4201]

For those who want the cheapest but still a very good alternative GTX 1070 i'd advice you guys to check out the Inno 3D versions.

[@wildsalmon3895]

I have now strix gtx 1060 oc i thinking to upgrade to gtx 1070 founders edition is it worth it?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

If you're going to pay over $50 for it then I wouldn't recommend it.

[@emirhantimur2806]

Nice vid liked and subscribed👍

[@trillboygaming4332]

I have the MSI AERO 8G OC GTX 1070 and I'm happy with it!!

[@namelesschannel4703]

Should I buy the 1070 Gigabyte G1 Gaming or 1070 Asus ROG Strix ? I need the best Performance and best cooling system

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Get the one you can find for cheaper.

[@oldmanswhimfpv2253]

The ASUS is an ever-so-slightly faster card, from a couple of reviews that I have seen. Earlier in the week, I found Newegg on eBay selling both cards for $429.99 plus shipping so I grabbed the ASUS. They have since bumped the price up $10, which actually makes the card a few dollars more expensive than just going to their site.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

If they're the same price then yeah, I'd recommend the ASUS because I've heard Gigabyte cards may be noisy. But I've also heard some terrible RMA stories concerning ASUS, so if your card is fine, then you're fine as well ;)

[@oldmanswhimfpv2253]

So far so good. Then again, I've only had it installed for a couple of days. Will report back if I run into issues.

[@majo2626]

i have the G1 and you cant really hear the fans even at 100% :D

[@Kevroa]

amp extreme or strix? im thinking amp becuase it runs slightly cooler, completely silent, extra 8 pin, and they are at the same price.. its clocked slightly lower... but as he said, it doesnt matter... what do you guys think? Also thanks foreign for the really great table that compared all of the cards.. simple to read, just perfect.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

I'd suggest the Amp Extreme if you have a way to support the card (it's extremely heavy), if not the Strix is totally fine as well. Thanks!

[@SasukeUchiha-bm7bw]

I'm getting the MSI Armor, what are your thoughts?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

You'll be totally fine! Temps should be around 70-75C, if your case airflow is okay.

[@davidespinosa2999]

Thank you. Clear, and helpful!

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Glad I could help!

[@tennisfan6343]

is wind gigabyte windforce oc ok for gaming moderately? Just microsoft flight sim

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Both Palit and Gigabyte Windforce are good. Get the one that's cheaper!

[@Husvm]

This video is what I've been looking for for the past week! I guess my heart wants the Asus strix for some reason.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

It is a very sleek card, I'll give it that :)

[@Husvm]

[@93SupaFly]

can you make an update for 1070 again? it seems now there are Gigabyte Auros 1070, Colourful iGAME U-TOP and X-TOP 1070, Palit Jetstream and Gamerock 1070, Leadtek Winfast Hurricane 1070, Inno 3D GTX 1070 and Galax Katana / Dual 1070?

[@Retroflecks]

no difference my friend. not how it works

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Absolutely no difference.

[@kennygroth4938]

should i get a blower style card for my node 202 case? I feel like it may not he necessary with these new Pascal cards, and id rather not get a blower style if it's not necessary.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

No, I don't think you have to. Just make sure there is enough room for the graphics card to breathe (as in not putting the case horizontally onto carpeting for instance. Another thing you could is put two extra fans blowing onto the card because there's ample room for that in the case.

[@kennygroth4938]

+foreign's gaming tech thanks for the response! and yeah that seems to be the general consensus.

[@99Listen]

Whats up with the Gtx 1070 8Gb and why is it so cheap ? worth getting ?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Which one?

[@99Listen]

foreign's gaming tech ARMOR

[@foreignsgamingtech]

Armor is a decent cooler. It's cheaper simply because it's not GAMING X Y Z.

[@helgioskarsson4440]

Bought Palit GTX 1070 Super Jetstream. it has a 2x 10cm fans and the shroud around the card isn't blocked. one badass silent card ;)

[@AbramSJA]

I just went ahead and bought myself the cheapest 1070, which was the gigabyte windforce. Its very basic, no fancy RGBs or backplate but has all the performance I need.

[@yahtadi5152]

This is what i am looking for! thanks

[@foreignsgamingtech]

It's on my channel already :)

[@yahtadi5152]

foreign's gaming tech Hats off

[@crankyneanderthal6784]

Thanks everyone. I replaced the PSU and everything works fine now.

[@crankyneanderthal6784]

I bought this card for my PC build and after playing games for about 10 mins the system crashes and the fans of the graphic card run at 100%. The technician from the Gigabyte reseller ran cpu and graphic software "stress tests" overnight and NO problems were detected. Reseller blames my pc build but I used to have a ASUS 1060 card and there were NO problems. PSU is 550w . Any suggestions what the problem is?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+Cranky Neanderthal what are your other components? And what's your PSU brand?

[@crankyneanderthal6784]

Gigabyte Z170-HD3 Motherboard, 16gb kingston ram, PSU is 550w (could not see any brand). I had to run a cable adapter with two 4 pin molex connections to a single 8 pin PCIe power cable for the 1070. Maybe this is the problem?

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+Cranky Neanderthal if your PSU is off-brand (meaning not known/poor efficiency/poor components), that may in fact be the problem, especially if your CPU is overclocked on that mobo.

[@crankyneanderthal6784]

I will replace the PSU and let you know of the outcome. I suspect the dual molex to 8 pin adaptor for the graphics card is a big NO-NO.

[@foreignsgamingtech]

+Cranky Neanderthal try getting a good one from Seasonic, EVGA or Corsair, at least 80+ bronze rated.

[@PRYDAX]

No palit? No gainward?
