Personally I'd spend £10 more and get a non founders, non blower 1070 for much better cooling and noise.

Now the same price at Amazon - their price changed immediately after I finished a live chat where the rep said that they wouldn't price match :-\

I need a card of this style because most others are too tall for the card locking & retention mechanism on my HP workstation.

Voted hot. Thanks.

OcUK say they honour the warranty, however after 28 days all OcUK will do is ship it off to Hong Kong for you, as that is where the RMA base is for Zotac, so you could be waiting a month for a replacement/repair. Zotac used to have a UK RMA centre.

I would rather have an EVGA, KFA2/Galaxy or Gigabyte GPU for peace of mind.

Bot a fan of blower style fans designs but I like how the founders edition style looks but also this is a good price for 1070.

​youll want at least a 1080 for that tbh

I worry about all these brands and how good they warranties are, I haven't bought all that many cards over the years... But I do remember buying a Palit once longtime ago and the fan burnt out within 2 weeks. When spending this kind of money I really want a guy outside my door with a New one in hand just incase :confused:

Need to educate myself about these other brands (Reliability etc).

My current card is EVGA gtx 660ti sc 3gb... I have had it 4yrs and it's done me proud. With Battlefield 1 coming I am looking at the 1070s, though I don't want to pay 400+ if possible.

Same price on Amazon atm Zotac GeForce GTX 1070 FE

I bought this card on Friday for 389.99. Damn it. Amazing though

A new saga begins for one of the most acclaimed video game franchises in history. Gears of War 4’s tense and brutal new campaign features JD Fenix – son of legendary hero, Marcus Fenix – and his friends, Kait and Del, who must rescue the ones they love and discover the source of a monstrous new enemy. And for a limited time, *Gears of War 4 is free when you get Game Ready with a GeForce GTX 1080 or 1070 graphics card or GeForce GTX 1080 or 1070-powered notebook.

Doesn't seem to be seller specific...

Amazon are not a selected partner though so I'm not convinced :smiley:

For good warranty support you want another EVGA or Gigabyte (who have a UK RMA base)

EVGA all the way, though I would take Gigabyte as a close second.

Is this worth an upgrade from a 970? How much faster?

Quick a lot faster: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1743?vs=1731

However, the 970 is still solid for 1080p in my opinion. As usual it depends what you play and the visuals you want.

GTA V redux mod has got me looking, seems crazy to shell out £350 for it though

Thanks :smiley:

Without even really trying there are quite a few better than the founders blower....makes this Zotac look like a terrible option.
Palit NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GameRock Graphics Card
Palit NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB DUAL Graphics Card
Inno3D GeForce GTX 1070 HerculeZ Twin X2
Palit GeForce GTX 1070 GameRock
Palit GeForce GTX 1070 Dual Fan

The FE isn't a terrible option for some people that need a blower style card like myself. The only really disadvantage of getting a blower style card is the noise from the fan tbh. Mine boost clocks to 1886Mhz with no overclocking too!

Price at both Amazon (backorder) and OCUK (in stock) is now £368.99 again.

What happened to the £349 GTX 1070's!

For anyone who bought a 1070 or 1080 from Amazon and hasn't received a code for GoW4, do an online chat to request that they provide the code for GoW4. I bought this deal when it went hot, and received the GoW4 code today after I prodded them in a chat.
