Strange mine came with a black PCI bracket yours is silver. Over all tho it's a very nice card, and very quiet.

Nice review. Can we expect a Evga gtx 1080 FTW review soon?

Great review, really like the MSI coolers. Any chance on the EVGA Classified this time around?

Why no RX 480 results in the graphs?

Nice review as per, but the prices for these cards! £755 in the UK for this. We really need more competition in this space to bring these prices down a little otherwise the 1080ti is going to cost over £1000!

Nice review as usual Hilbert thx!.
As mentioned by fantaskarsef Evga cards aren't reviewed anymore for obvious reasons.Maybe in the future again time will tell 🙂.
Still credit for G3D to post news about Evga cards.

That's why we're asking now 🙂
Hoping EVGA's salty period is over.

Disappointing OCing
Am I the only one surprised and a little disappointed about the tiny gains from OCing these cards. Despite pretty significant bumps in clock speeds which look really impressive, we're consistently seeing only 5%-10% improvement in clock rates on a OC'd aftermarket card over the stock FE cards, with one or two benchmarks pushing maybe 12%.
The 1070s seem to be getting more like 10-15% fps bump, but that's still hardly exciting.
The OC'd boost clocks are almost 25% higher than a FE boost... What's going on? Can they just not sustain the boost clocks? This is a 10 phase card, if it can't what can? Or is there some other bottleneck going on?

Nice review Hilbert.
Sadly, the whole point of this cards is to use it with MSI Gaming APP. And oh boy, I just had some incredibly bad experience with that in the past 2 days.
I just wanted to make my 1070 LED "breathing red", because it looks pretty cool, but this software is so buggy and weird, it messed with my OC, with my fan profile, not to mention it felt incredibly bloating at startup. To make matters worse it wouldn't save the LED settings when not running the software, so the LED would shut down entirely during restarts/boot until I opened it up again. :bang:
Long story short, even though the LED effects were nice, I had to uninstall it, as it was clearly more annoying than useful.
Seriously MSI, why not incorporate a LED control in MSI AB??? Or make an "app" just for the LED control? One should not be forced to use a buggy, significantly inferior piece of software, when you have the marvelous MSI AB, just so one can change some lights... very disappointed.

Looks like all the cards are maxing out. Buy what you like the look of and not the advertised hype.
Last section of the article is pretty interesting.
