About this deal

ASUS FanConnect features 4-pin GPU-controlled headers connected to system fans for optimal thermal performance. slot design for the massive heatsink allows Asus to offer 40 percent more surface area to cool down compared to the previous-generation design.

I almost bought a 1080 but judging from the performance difference it simply wasn't worth it, either. As a result of restrictions imposed by Nvidia, whereby the lowest attainable frequencies are sacrificed to hit higher GPU Boost clock rates, the power consumption of many factory-overclocked cards is disproportionately high when they're idle. 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.I took a cursory look around the web and didn’t find any other complaints about it, so this is likely a one-off situation. Asus imposes a relatively low power target of approximately 170W, which in turn causes a relatively frenetic GPU Boost frequency that's primarily limited by the power consumption cap. Note all testing below uses 1920×1080 screen resolution (settings also carry over to 2560 x 1440 and Surround/Eyefinity testing if applicable). Combining the measured voltages and currents allows us to derive a total power consumption we can easily confirm with our instrumentation by taking readings at the card's power connectors. ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1070 also has GPU Tweak II with XSplit Gamecaster that provides intuitive performance tweaking and instant gameplay streaming.

You are entitled to a hardware warranty service if a repair is required within the Limited Warranty Period. Again, it’s a solid-looking card and because its only real color hues come from the RGB LEDs, it will easily fit in any themed build. There are a couple of neat features here, one of which is FanConnect, which you will later see why this sets the card apart from the others. With ROG Strix gaming graphics cards and ROG Swift gaming monitors, scenes appear instantly, objects look sharper, and gameplay is super smooth, giving you a stunning visual experience and a serious competitive edge. 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).You may be required by your Purchase Site or Asus Authorized Service Providers to present a proof of purchase as a condition of receiving warranty service.

But where does the ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1070 land in comparison to other companies with premium models? The K70 RGB TKL comes available with a selection of 100% CHERRY MX Red, Silent Red, or SPEED Silver mechanical key switches and is a tenkeyless design. This features Direct-GPU contact from the heat pipes which helps get more heat away from the GPU without another medium in the way. Unusability of or damage to the Product caused by contamination with hazardous substances, diseases, vermin, or radiation.Dual series of GeForce GTX 1070 is equipped with DirectX 12 to squeeze more graphics performance from the CPU and prevent GPU bottlenecks. Because of this, the card may be doing its thing getting the heat away, but the case isn’t removing the additional heat load it as it should.
