Originally I was looking to buy a 6GB GTX 1060 but the GTX 1070 is a much better value. At the time I bought this, it was only $30 more for the EVGA GTX 1070 than an EVGA GTX 970, and $20 more than a 6GB GTX 1060. The 3GB 1060 shouldn't be on anyone's radar. The GTX 1070 is a no-brainer at these prices. According to the techpowerup database, the GTX 1070 is 50% faster than the GTX 970 and 35% faster than the 6GB GTX 1060. It's hard to believe the GTX 1070 is still an excellent 1080p Gaming workhorse.... considering that it's over 6 years old. WTF.... this 6 year old card can deliver at least 45fps at Ultra settings in the most demanding games at 1080p? Yep. The only advantage the RTX 3050 has over the GTX 1070 is the addition of new features like DLSS. I've owned a large number of 10-series cards at this point. I've had five 1080ti cards, two 1080 cards, one 1070ti, one 6gb 1060, and this is my 3rd 1070. Here's my experience with this particular EVGA ACX 3.0 Black Edition 1070 and the other 10-series cards I've had. The EVGA 1070 SC Black edition card I got had fine temps, but the Hop Spot temps were a bit toasty. Once I repasted the card, the Hot Spot temps were in normal range. I used Arctic MX-4, which is a top-rated paste. I ran into a problem with the card not wanting to work with a 4K monitor but flashing the V-BIOS to a later version fixed the issue. Another thing to note about the EVGA SC line is they're using the same reference design board as the Founder's Edition model. The only thing that's different is the dual axial fan cooler and no backplate. The dual axial-fan cooler is far and away better than the Founder's Edition blower cooler. With the Founder's edition card, the temps will always be in the 80's, even if you ramp the fan speeds up high. All this does is allow the boost clock to go up higher. This is not a problem with the SC Black edition ACX 3.0 cards, as the card will stay cool and the boost clocks will ramp up above 1900mhz. The boost clocks are supposed to be limited to 1787mhz on this card, but without touching a dial the boost clocks will reach as high as 1915mhz. In relation to all 10-series cards, the only problem is the GPU on some cards aren't able to sustain this speed. I had this problem with a Strix GTX 1070 and a Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080. If repasting the card and replacing the thermal pads with high quality pads does not fix the issue, then lowering the core clocks by 50mhz-100mhz should do the trick. Even if you lower the core clocks a little bit, the card will still boost beyond its specs. Read full review

This card is cool, quiet and cheap. The 1070 outpreforms the 1660ti and the RTX 2060 for only $200. It's an amazing value for 144hz gaming and this specific EVGA model is very quiet under load, while looking great at the same time. I was able to get +200MHz OC on both the GPU core and memory completley stable in fur mark for 5hrs straight. The max temp I got overclocked was only 73 C, all while being quiet. The only downside is no backplate, but still highly reccomended.

This card is much more powerful than my GTX 760, and it runs a lot cooler and quieter. My only complaint is that this card has a white LED that lights up when the PC is on. It looks cool when the computer is open, but it's very noticeable when I have my PC on overnight, and I'm not the type of person to have LEDs and clear side-panels on the computer.

Always unsure of used items, but price was high enough to assume it'd be in good condition and it is. The only weird thing I'm noticing is occasionally if I'm switching HDMI cables I get a yellow haze over the screen and have to unplug-replug to get rid of it. That's never happened with my current evga 2080ti ftw3 nor my old msi gtx1070. Aside from that it's working great though, handles Project Cars 2 in VR on an OG Vive just fine at 1.4x supersampling. It's comfortable, does well on GTA5 on my 4k monitor as well. as in with my 'modified settings' It hovers around 70fps in 4k.

I thought it was going to be a used gpu but it surprised me it came with all the posters and stickers and even the plastics protections I am very happy with this purchase my pc recognized it just plugging it in !! 👌👌👌

Great Price for Performance! The card blew my expectations away! The card is pretty long, just keep this in mind when doing cable management. I had to plug my SATA cables in before installing card since I couldn't reach behind the card when it was install. The card's design is sleek and white LED gives it a neutral look that can fit into almost any case theme.

My son is a gamer and he says a good graphics card is a must! He was updating his motherboard after it died, so he was looking for the best of the best! Its quite, keeps a really cool temperature and easy to install. The clarity of his games is amazing! Speed is fabulous! He is so glad he got this video card!

The 1070 sc I ordered showed up in 3 days looked brand new besides a little oil on the gpu and functions just as expected and better in some aspects would highly recommend

Perfect for my living room HTPC, which I play all types of games on. Youre almost guaranteed a locked 60fps at 1080p, I find most titles to be smooth at 1440p, and when I hook up the steering wheel I'm able to play racing games at 4k as well. I find the 1070 to be a better choice than the 1060, but the 1060 is an excellent card for 1080p.
