Thanks for the review HH (and all the others you've done before, I'm a long time lurker), this is looking like it could be my next gpu!

Small error on 3rd Product showcase, bottom. "And yes, I do thing that is a terrific looking product". :eyes:

if this card is somewhere in the 450 - 500€range it has 20% - 25% less performance but the 1080 would be at least 60% more expensive.

that would be 950€ 1070 sli vs 800 € 1080 gaming x, 1070 sli looking alot more attractive..
And then its not far away from 980ti performance. If there good deal on 980ti, it still might be worth to consider. 6GB is not bad.

It will take a while for 1080 / 1070 prices to stabilize, while 980ti price still dropping.

Nice. Now we just need to compare the MSI 1070 vs MSI 980Ti benchmarks

Got time until BF1 comes out to decide!

So... If all go according to plan, we should expect the Gigabyte, the slightly OCed ones will be around 450 euros. That sounds fine by me. Still with that kind of money we were getting the x80 version, but inflation or something, damn it.

Looks like this is pretty much perfect GTX 1070. The cooler seems to do rather nice job.

Did this have any annoying coil whine issues?

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. But Maxwell I think should hold up better than Kepler due to its closeness to Pascals uarch.

Great review. Typo in last paragraph on conclusion page: Oretty (?) much Nvidia decides what you max overclock is.

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

Not sure if you can go by one card as a guarantee of no coil whine.

Well, yeah but so far all custom 1080's have been pretty much free from coil whine too. It doesn't look like 1070 designs are that much different.
