Review: Great Card without breaking the bank - This card is crazy good. An excellent price point with excellent performance. This card handles all current titles with reasonable frame rates 30+. While it may not provide the crushing performance of the 1080, it gets the job done without totally blowing the budget, maybe just a little stretch. If you have the money, the 1080 is a much better card and will run games faster, farther into the future than the 1080. Also if you already own a 980 TI, R9 295X2, R9 Fury X, or better, the 1070 will not be an upgrade and you should consider the 1080. http://amzn.to/2upKr7U I purchased the FTW with 1797 clock, the 08G-P4-6276-KR version. EVGA makes several versions of this card and it can be difficult to determine what the difference between them is. I will try to do so here. Glossary Blower Cooling - Cooling that uses a blower style cooler and heatsink. Economical design. ACX3.0 Cooling - Advanced cooling system using variable speed fans and heatsinks. Good design. iCX Cooling - Evolution of ACX3.0 including additional thermal sensors and technology. Best fan and heatsink design Hybrid Cooling - Closed loop water cooling that requires mounting a radiator on the back of the case. Very effective cooling Backplate - A metal sheet that is placed over the back of the card further protecting the electronics, and improving heat handling capabilities. RGB LED - An LED that can change color programmatically to any color. Easily match the color of other items inside your case to maximize flexibility in design. 10 Phase Power - An enhanced power supply design that will deliver more consistent power to the graphics processor to insure reliable operation. More phases means cleaner power, and greater power capacity. The other design is a 4 phase design. 8 pin connector - Add in graphics cards need additional power provided to them. This is typically done with an 8 pin connector from the power supply. Some older cards used 6 pin connectors, so some power supplies provide 6+2 connectors, while others provide 8 pin connectors. You need to make sure that you have the proper number of 8 pin connectors (or 6+2) or you will not be able to power your graphics card and it will not work. A 6 pin connector will not work, it does not supply enough power, or fit for that matter. If you do not have either 8 pin or 6+2 pin connectors available, you will need to upgrade your power supply. This is common in older computers, as well as name brand computers from Dell and HP. The power supplies were not designed for high power add in cards. 08G-P4-5170 1683 MHz boost with blower cooling, requires only a single 8pin connector and draws 150W, no backplate (Blower) http://amzn.to/2v2fkms 08G-P4-5171 1683 MHz boost but adds ACX3.0 advanced cooling requires one 8-pin and draws 150W, no backplate (uncommon model) http://amzn.to/2hsIA14 08G-P4-6170 1683 MHz boost with blower cooling one 8pin 150W White LED, adds backplate (Founders Edition) http://amzn.to/2v3WauV 08G-P4-6171 1683 MHz boost ACX3.0 cooling one 8pin 150W adds White LED (REF) http://amzn.to/2vnJPV9 08G-P4-6571 1683 MHz boost iCX cooling and thermal modules single 8pin 150W White LED (Not on desertcart) 08G-P4-5173 1784 MHz boost (super clocked) ACX3 cooling, one 8pin, 170W power White LED, no backplate (SC Black) http://amzn.to/2v2iDKF 08G-P4-6173 1784 MHz boost (super clocked) ACX3 cooling, one 8pin, 170W power White LED (SC) http://amzn.to/2v2t3tm 08G-P4-6178 1784 MHz boost Hybrid cooling, one 8pin, 170W power White LED (HYBRID) http://amzn.to/2vnDrNt 08G-P4-6573 1784 MHz boost (super clocked) iCX cooling, one 8pin, 170W power White LED (SC2) http://amzn.to/2v2oOhN 08G-P4-6274 1683 MHz boost ACX3 cooling, two 8pin, 215W power RGB LED, Enhanced 10 Phase Power Supply for overclocking (FTW 1683) http://amzn.to/2v2G0DF 08G-P4-6276 1797 MHz boost super clocked ACX3 cooling, two 8pin, 215W power RGB LED, 10 Phase Power for OC (FTW 1797) (The card I purchased) http://amzn.to/2v2pDHp 08G-P4-6278 1797 MHz boost super clocked Hybrid cooling, two 8pin, 215W power RGB LED, 10 Phase Power for OC (FTW HYBRID 1797) http://amzn.to/2v45O0t 08G-P4-6674 1683 MHz boost iCX cooling, two 8pin, 215W power RGB LED, 10 Phase Power for OC (Not on desertcart) 08G-P4-6676 1797 MHz boost super clocked iCX cooling, two 8pin, 215W power RGB LED, 10 Phase Power for OC (FTW2 1797) http://amzn.to/2upMLMp I chose the model I did, because it had ACX cooling, and the 1797 clock with the 10 phase power and RGB LED. The more expensive cards offered very little benefit. If the 1070 is just too much of as stretch for the budget consider the 1060 at 6GB (not enough savings to go to 3GB). Be aware that the 1060 is comparable to the 970, 708 or Titan. It is also comparable to the Radeon RX580/570/480/470, R9 390/290 or Intel HD7990. If you own one of those it will not be an upgrade. http://amzn.to/2vyqP6K If the budget is really tight you should look at the 1050. Be aware that the 1050 is on par with the 950, 760 or 660 Ti. It is also comparable to the Rx460, R7-370, R9-270 or Intel Hd 7870. This card will not be an upgrade if you have one of those or better. http://amzn.to/2v4S4CO
Review: UPDATE. Sold build and never buying EVGA again. - New edit: I never had any heat issues with the card. However, EVGA releasing so many versions and a trade in program to their icx version makes it pretty obvious that there is a serious problem that effects the majority. I would not recommend another EVGA card for that reason. Their customer service is awesome, but clearly their quality control is all kinds of tarded. Anyone who would buy these cards must like the odds of playing lottery. I ended up selling the build and built a itx Fracta Design Define S with an ASUS 1060. I rarely game, so its more on my level, and just an all around nicer card. This sucks, i used to love EVGA. Their new line of PSUs states that there are no interchangeable parts, and they use an odd sized fan. This is just evidence they are trying to make things non replaceable and want to give you the heartache of dealing with them and returning or paying more money for warranties. No thanks. Ill stick to a different brand from now on. Plus, i never really liked the look of the card :( The new 1080ti looks even fuglier. Its a gpu EVGA, not a space shuttle. Cool your turbo jets and keep it simple. EDIT: I swapped my SC for a 1070 FTW. MUCH BETTER! stable at 2100 flat! Don't even need slave bios to notice better settings. pics will follow soon. This is my first build and I am able to play on highest/ultra with 60fps. Temps are amazing. OC to just barely over 2GHz and it's perfect. I play at 2560x1080 currently. If you are on 1080p, No doubt this card will annihilate your games. If you are on 1440p, maybe wait for the 1080ti because even the 1080 struggles with that and for 'future proofing' - if there is such a thing (there isnt!) you would be wise to wait a while longer. As for 4k, probably not going to enjoy this card at all. Temps are great. Under load in "The Division" and "GTA V" I get 60fps with some fine tuning the temps never get above 65. Idle temps are great too around 27-35 depending on room temperature. I use MSI Afterburner (after using buggy Precision X and only getting problems) for the fans (since the default fan temps are outrageous and do not even kick on until 50 degrees) and to lock the clock speed in during gaming. Also, make sure you go into Nvidia control panel and change the optimal power mode, to maximum performance. It dies throttle a bit from 2.03-2.06. It has been stable like that for extended periods. Some people are benchmarking just for the scores and have to constantly adjust for each one. This is a stable clock for everything. You can use the NCP optimal power under global settings, and choose specific programs to alter settings on. That is the best bet to ensure when you are not gaming, you are not idling the gpu at full clock or using unnecessary amounts of power. I did a lot of tweaking and have finally found the prefect set up for my use. Gaming, HTPC, Browsing, School, etc etc.... Pretty much everything I will ever need from a GPU. This is my command center and it runs well. I wanted to leave a positive review for what this card is, but I would still advise you to wait longer and just get a 1080 or better. These card manufacturer's are holding back and playing the marketing game to squeeze every penny (not private sellers, the actual manufacturer's) and I believe this card has a lot more potential than they are giving it, especially for the price. If you can, save a little more and spring for the 1080 once prices drop or if you already have a 9 series or even something older, just wait for the ti versions or whatever comes next to last you just as long as your old card did. If you have your heart set on a 1070 regardless, wait for the FTW versions. They should overclock a bit nicer, hopefully to at least 2.1GHz. UPDATEL it appears the FTW cards do not overclock any better according to EVGA's forums. Since the new driver came out I downloaded it and have not noticed any fluctuation of clock speed during play since. It starts out a bit high then drops to a solid 2063-2068. Even with the slave bios most FTW's I have seen still only get about 2088 stable. It's still pretty good considering the stock clock, but there is more potential than they are giving us, especially in the $400 range. At this rate, the prices will only continue to go up.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i play solitaire in 60 fps?**
A: You should probably buy a mining rig full of 1080ti graphics cards if you want to play solitaire in 4k @ 60fps. But if you have some extra cash I would switch out the 1080 ti graphics cards for some Titan Xs.

**Q: Should i get this or the gtx 1070 ftw? my pc case does not have a glass panel.**
A: ftw better overlock and better power parts you should buy ftw version

**Q: Why would this graphics card not have dual DVI ports but have 3 display ports?**
A: I'm happy that at least 1 dual link DVI is still on video cards, cause I need it for 144hz on my Asus VG248QE 1080p monitor

**Q: What cables come included with the card, I know I'm going to have to buy a some but I can't find which ones are included.**
A: There is a power adapter cable in the box. I own two EVGA cards, one of them is this GTX 1070 SC, another one is GTX 950 SC. They both came with a power adapter cable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Evga gtx 1070 great for steambox
*by S***R on July 9, 2016*

-My setup I will start the review with a little about my system. I have a fractal node 304 with 16gb ram, Haswell i5k proc, Asus mini itx mobo with a 600 watt psu. My version of a steam box got a tower cooler in my case loaded with noctua fans. My old GPU is a evga gtx 760. For my system the enemy is size and heat so that is a big factor for GPU selection vs some other buyers out there. My gtx 760 was a great card a few years back but really gets bogged down playing today's games on ultra settings. I picked up the evga gtx 1070 because I needed high performance out of a single card with a small footprint and low watt requirement. The 1070 fits the bill perfectly literally lower watt requirement than my old card and only about inch longer with the same height as my 760. I have my pc in a living room environment with a 1080p OLED tv and this card really runs everything on ultra at 60+ fps. I play every game with the steam controller as it has made me retire my xbox controller for everything but emulation. -Performance I am not going to leave benchmarks as there are hundreds of those out there. I am going to give some comparisons to my gtx 760 so others may gauge if the upgrade is worth for you. I will start off by saying if you want to play today's games at max maybe look for a discounted gtx 970. I have friends and they run everything on ultra at 1080p with a 970. The 760 was lucky to run Fallout 4 a little above 30-40 fps just walking around town on highish settings with huge drops in combat. The 1070 runs ultra 1080p 60 fps and the only stutters in frame rate are Bethesda's wacky engine being weird. Metro last light solid and beautiful on the 1070. Metro on the 760 ultra felt like 25 fps that would drop to 1 with physx on high settings. Doom I only played on the 1070 and wow looks like you are playing a CG movie, really just jaw dropping. Battlefield 4 runs pretty well on high settings on the 760, but the 1070 of course destroys all current games. Everyone gets the idea. -Conclusion Really the conclusion here is that the 1070 with 8gb of vram is hopefully another 3-4 year card for me running 1080p. I was kind of torn between this card a discounted 980ti from benchmarks. I have no real desire to dive into VR or 4k at the moment but in my eyes this card is a good value. I have had AMD in the past and was waiting the see the RX 480 but it seems 2 of those beats a 1070, a deal breaker for my mini itx system. I still think crossfire and sli are kind of wonky and power hungry. If you have a smaller system I think you will do better with a Pascal chip. If you have the patience to wait another few months I bet next spring these will be more on par with the 970 price. At the end of the day I like to upgrade every few years and I think this card is solid choice for a few years of ultra 1080p gaming.
