ASUS STRIX-GTX1070-O8G-Gaming Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070 Graphics Card - Black

Product Information

At this point, we were banging off the power limit a bit so this was the end without sacrificing more stable clocks speeds (*shakes fist in the air towards NVIDIA). It’s all controlled through Asus Aura Sync, although there’s no onboard RGB header for connecting addition RGB strips too like with saw on the GTX 1080 Ti ROG Poseidon. But where does the ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1070 land in comparison to other companies with premium models? Strix has better cooling (as the size of the cooler suggests), RGB lights, higher factory overclock and power limit (latter two only true to Strix cards with factory overclock) than the Dual, which helps the Strix overclock better when the two cards get the GPU of same potential.

It looks good and fits with any theme, performs well with its high factory overclock, and runs cool and quiet with the DirectCU III cooler. Some folks don't care about noise, some folks don't OC, some folks hope they will be able to get the full performance available to us **if** someone ever comes out with a BIOS editor.

It remains to be seen whether this will deter consumers or not, and a lot will depend on pricing which has been pretty volatile recently. GPU Tweak II with XSplit Gamecaster that provides intuitive performance tweaking and instant gameplay streaming. Asus only feeds the memory and one GPU phase through the PCIe slot; the other five phases are powered through the auxiliary eight-pin connector. Note all testing below uses 1920×1080 screen resolution (settings also carry over to 2560 x 1440 and Surround/Eyefinity testing if applicable).

Moving on to the games, we see much of the same story as far as where the Strix performs compared to the rest of the lineup we chose.
