Asus strix 1070 vs Asus strix 1080? which one should I get for my PC?

I have i7 6700k, Asus hero mobo.

Thanks

​create a new account take out the trial.

:confused: have they removed the amazon prime trial?

It says 79 for a year! Have to pay as a one off? Thanks anyway!!

It consumes less power than my 7950 that it replaced , I am only using half the potential on the witcher 3 which I used as a demonstration of its speed but some games take more power and I bought it too play games for the next 5years probably which I am confident that it will . As for "huge ,heavy and saggy" arnt these all basically the same point . I was just saying that you should check your case specs for the length and all top end cards are large /heavy .

Anyway to get around Prime membership or the only way to get this is to sign up?

Power consumption is slightly higher then the reference 1070 - Guru3D test

Great card . I have the oc version and it runs the witcher 3 at over 100 fps and when limited to 60fps the fans barely switch on and it stays below 55c .
It is huge tho so make sure you have room in your case and it is also very heavy and sages a bit . Also on an old i5 2500 mobo I had to update my mobo drivers as it was causing problems

This one did! http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/msi-geforce-1070-armor-8g-294-96-ebuyer-2581201

Bit torn on this or the EVGA 1070 SC Black Edition I ordered at £336. Will have to read up on temperatures and noise levels to decide...

Oh no, should I have held off the 480 and waited for the 1070s to hit sub 300

why am i so wound up over a dam graphics card i need to make my mind up and stick to that what ever that will be LOL Stick or twist !

wait for Vega guys

In the same boat, this ASUS does have a backplate which the black edition evga does not!

I am thinking of setting up a new Amd Cpu and Gpu to see how much power savings i can get then make it into a media centre PB for the main TV room we will see

scoot

Running the OC version and can't fault it, runs BF1 on my 2k monitor at about 90fps on ultra settings.

Good luck with your Build , i am dooing the same but full fat atx setup why do we do this LOL :smiley: btw i dont want LED RGB so my case will have no window just good fans and some nice ports but then its a monitor where do i start :smiley:

EVGA FTW;

The EVGA SC 1070 (£336.90 )is on its way to me will be here in 4 days , i just think i am not getting the card i want the price got me to buy it more than the card OMG LOL

great price, by far the lowest its ever been.

£20 odd difference between this and the EVGA which were my must have cards of the range, yes the OC version is faster, but this is cheaper than the OC by some margin

So which one you gonna get after all? Lol :-)

your welcome , and yup still cost a fair bit for the cards they told us would be £360/ £370 to start with i could be mixed up about the price but it was about that hmm :smiley:

This is a great deal at the moment. I have a feeling the prices are going to drop soon but I have been putting off for a while. It was finally time to bite the bullet.

MSI GTX 1070 GAMING 8G £375 on amazon`s site its got it as pre order

stupid Prime deal

Where did you see the MSI one? :neutral_face:

yup and this has two fan headers on the card to help cool down in high work loads hmm what to do i have now seen a msi one as well ffs this is like waiting for a dam buss :disappointed: ahh !!!

Thanks OP for the post HEAT

just purchased, thanks op :smiley:

​evga has way better customer service, but this runs a few degrees cooler .

Oh no do i get this and send back the EVGA 1070 hmmm what do you think ?? the evga is just on is way to me so i dont know what to do ahhh :/

Great price, heat
