 Great card, low temperatures, and no coil whine!,
This review is from: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming Video/Graphics Cards GV-N1070G1 GAMING-8GD (Personal Computers)
I received this card and besides the cooler being made of plastic, everything else is high end. The aluminum back plate is also a nice touch. On the side of the card there is a Gigabyte logo and Fan Stop indicator that are RGB meaning you can customize the color to match your build or favorite color. Keep in mind in order to do this you must install the Xtreme Gaming Engine Utility from Gigabyte. At first I thought maybe my card was defective but it was just user error.
I’m seen some posts online complaining about coil whine. After becoming familiar with coil whine with the GTX 970 and AMD R9 Nano (worst I have ever heard), I am happy to report that my GTX 1070 G1 Gaming Edition has zero coil whine. I have tried various games with an unlocked frame rate and still no audible coil while. If I end up hearing some coil whine I will update this review. The cooling on this card is terrific. At load I am only hitting 75c. On my old GTX 980 Ti, this number was in the high 80s and low 90s. I would no-doubt recommend this product if you are looking for an GPU upgrade. If you already have a Titan X or GTX 980 Ti, it is more of a lateral move. I made a YouTube video with unboxing and firestrike scores which can be found in a YouTube search.

Worthy Upgrade over GTX 780 – Double framerate and much less load temp,
Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
This review is from: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming Video/Graphics Cards GV-N1070G1 GAMING-8GD (Personal Computers)
Purchased this as a replacement for my Gigabyte Windforce GTX 780 and the framerates have literally doubled.
at 1440p resolustion, in rise of the Tomb Raider at max settings my framerates went up from a stuttering 25-35fps to over 60. Similarly Witcher 3 framerates went up from 30-40 to 70-80. Meanwhile, the card max load temp has gone down from 80-85C to 70C max. So overall an excellent upgrade over the 780. Simply a no-brainer. Just a minor issue – I understand the fans dont spin uptop around 45-50C however i notice one of the three card fans keeps on starting/stopping which is a little annoying and i am not sure if it is good for the fan in the long term.

Great card, exceptional performance!,

Great card, exceptional performance @ 1080p and very good performance at 1440 (but i guess most GTX 1070 would perform around the same range). Upgraded from GTX970; no regrets 🙂
Fan stops when the card doesn’t need it (so it’s only being passively cooled at that point). Gigabyte Extreme Gaming Engine software at the ready for when you decide to overclock it too. |
