Heck yeah, it's out today so team up with me in a 31 page long review of the all new MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming X. This GTX 1070 is factory tweaked and rather cool with the very cool TwinFrozr revision VI cooler. Let's check out the new 8 GB creature from MSI, the GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G, available starting today.

Read the full review here.

Cant believe anyone would go for an FE edition over these AIB cards, which are not only cheaper but better in performance/cooling. MSI 1070 looks mighty tempting. Over time, I expect it to pull further ahead of the 980ti with new game releases.


What do you mean pull further ahead? Is it faster than the AIB 980Tis? Would love to see some direct comparisons!!!

Great! It looks like they really tackled that issue in these cards. The GTX 970 fiasco was pretty bad...


A lot of cards this generation have had coil whine issues. I wonder what the deal was.

Great review HH and nice card!

Just wondering... Guess 1070 natively supports GDDR5X, but we all know NVidia is not going to let AIB's to release 1070 with GDDR5X anytime soon (if ever) because it'll have even more impact on 1080 sales. Guess OC'ed 1070 with GDDR5X would outperform stock 1080 for sure.

I'm mentioning 1070 GDDR5/GDDR5X "situation" because probably most of us here remember lots of older GPU's capable to run two types of VRAM, either on GDDR3 or GDDR5, they performed significantly faster on GDDR5. Backten I had PowerColor Radeon HD 4850 first with 512MB GDDR3 and later bought also PowerColor Radeon HD 4850 with 1GB GDDR5 (still have them both in my basement stash): GDDR5 version was way much faster than GDDR3 with same OC on GPU.

Will we ever found out how 1070 would perform on GDDR5X... probably never... :(

Nice write up, some grammatical/typos here and there though, namely:

Words like "kinda" seem a little out of place in a professional review, also a typo on "years", namely under:

"It has plenty power and has the graphics memory to deal with games for eyars to come"

Either way, solid write up, nicely done. :)

3DMark 2013 results gathered from guru3d articles @ 1080P:

MSI 1070: 17001
MSI 980ti: 17325

MSI 1070 OC'd: 18384
MSI 980ti OC'd: 18858

Apples to apples comparison!

I bet there would be a bigger difference at 1440P and at 4K! :banana:
