Gigabyte announced the availability of two new variants of GeForce® GTX 1070 graphics cards; they are the small form factor GTX 1070 Mini ITX OC Edition (GV-N1070IXOC-8GD) and the dual-fan GTX 1070 WINDFORCE OC Edition (GV-N1070WF2OC-8GD).
GTX 1070 Mini ITX OC Edition
Measuring merely 17cm in length, the GTX 1070 Mini ITX OC Edition is perfect for building compact gaming rigs or HTPC powered by the latest Pascal GPU. Equipped with 3 pure copper heat pipes with direct touch to GPU and a single 90 mm unique-blade fan with semi-passive cooling, the cooler can dissipate heat effectively while keeping the fan operating at a low noise level.
Engineered with the highest-grade Ultra Durable chokes and capacitors, the graphic card ensures outstanding performance and durable system lifespan. Compared to the reference’s 4+1 power phase design, the card is built for overclocking with the 5+1 power phases, making the MOSFET working at a lower temperature for more stable voltage output.
With a simple click of the OC Mode button built in the newly developed XTREME Engine utility software, gamers can easily overclock the card to run any graphics-intensive for greater gaming performance.
GTX 1070 WINDFORCE OC Edition
GIGABYE also offers a dual-fan solution, the GTX 1070 WINDFORCE OC Edition, which packs the WINDFORCE 2X cooling system, featuring two 90mm fans, 2 pure copper composite heat pipes with direct touch to GPU, and unique blade fan design, together delivering an effective heat dissipation capacity at lower temperatures. The 3D Active Fan provides semi-passive cooling, as the fans will remain off when the GPU is under a set loading or temperature for low power gaming. It allows gamers to enjoy gameplay in complete silence when the system is running light or idle.
The GTX 1070 WINDFORCE OC Edition also uses the Ultra Durable internal components to enhance overall performance and product lifespan. The 6+2 power phases make the card a superior overclocker with more stable voltage output compared to the Founders edition.
Via the intuitive interface of XTREME Engine utility, gamers can enjoy smooth gaming right away with a simple click of the button to overclock the card without the hassle of any manual adjustment.
