Differences between GTX 1070

Orn1ut · Oct 21, 2016

I am finally getting a graphics card for my new system. As it looks the GTX 1070 fits what I need and my price range (<500€ in my parts of Europe).

My question now is: what is the difference - if there is any - between the different cards from Gigabyte, EVGA, etc. like G1 Gaming, WF, FTW, SC, ... I'm new to the topic and a bit confused

I use my system mainly for gaming and some graphics.
Specs: PSU: RM650x; Botherboard: GA-Z170-HD3P; CPU: Intel i5-6500
At the moment I'm using 1 screen at 1080p but I want to add a second screen in the near future.

Thanks for the help

All of them brands offer a reference model which you should avoid. They look like this

Some of them offer single fan mini versions which are made for small cases. They all offer 2 or 3 fan versions which is what you probably want. The rest of the differences are usually in the factory clock speeds. Do not pay extra for a factory overclock. I would get the cheapest non reference model I could find. There is little difference between the brands performance wise. I tend to prefer EVGA because they have a very good customer support, but I find myself recommend the Gigabyte Windforce on here a lot because it's priced competitively.

other than a couple that are half length the rest are basically the same. You can choose between two fan models or a single fan blower style (recommended for small cases). Some might, and I say might, be able to overclock better than the others. There won't be gigantic night and day performance differences between any of them so don't be afraid of that.
