A lot of cards this generation have had coil whine issues. I wonder what the deal was.
Great! It looks like they really tackled that issue in these cards. The GTX 970 fiasco was pretty bad...

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!

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