I don't think there is much madness into this. If you are a very demanding user, every fps count hence the sooner you can have fun the better. If money is not a factor, why bother.
Considering there's no perfect review, most of the time it doesn't take into consideration the various Quality Insurance and tolerance, it's often hard to make a decision, but you can get close to it. Unless a brand made a significant progress for this new generation, it sounds like the good one for 900 series will be also the good ones to pick for 1000 series.
Personally, I just build a completely new PC, so for me the sooner will be better, I new shortage would be there, I didn't anticipated retailers go so far from MSRP considering I just need a simple 1070 as quiet as it can be. I hope find something not far from $379 even if virtually I could spend twice much, but for casual gaming at 1200p, I prefer keep the money to buy games
I'm trying to be wise, and thanks Guru3d for this test and the 1080, I'm new again to this world (my last 3D card was a Matrox Mystique :evil
So my short list right now, with the sparse media coverage:
1- MSI - Armor 8G
2- EVGA - entry level ACX 3.0 cooling
3- Asus Strix - not sure about this one
I'm being patient telling myself stock will be there soon, with more supply than demand, some wrinkles will be ironed...
Meanwhile I'm playing GoG on a 6700K rig
Cant understand the mad rush to pick up a new card on release day or so soon after. Advice for anyone who wants a 1070 at a reasonable price: forget the card even exists for a month. Then look at prices. This also gives you time to read reviews on various AIB models to get a sense of which is best.

Hi, nice review, im just missing one thing, the rated TDP of the card from the manufacturer. For example is it the same as the stock/founders edition or is it higher, for this is the most interesting part with these custom cards, as the real limiting factor at ocing is the TDP, not the voltage, temps or that the gpu cant handle it?
As a suggestion for all the custom 1080 and 1070 reviews i would suggest to always give the TDP of it and the max TDP % that you can up for OCing.
Thanks
So that you know how much OC potential is left in the card?
It's not that simple.
Empirical approach is the best:
Pay attention to what reviewers and users are getting in terms of OC, and a randomly bought card should fall somewhere within that range.

Im personal thinking MSI - 1070 Armor 8G/OC but depend on price, though I think i might wait for 1060 series

Very impressive. Probably squeeze a little more as drivers mature. The beat down on Fury X was surprising.
