Evga Geforce Grx 1070 8 Gb Sc Video Card Review

EVGA's GTX 1070 SC introduces the company's ACX iii.0 air cooler, an update we detailed in our Computex coverage of EVGA's GTX 1080 FTW, Hybrid, and Classified cards. The 1070 SC is part of EVGA'south "SuperClocked" family, which is the most affordable pre-overclocked card that the company sells. The vertical will probable afterward add an SSC card, or Super SuperClocked, with non-OC cards falling below SC in price. The GTX 1070 SC has an MSRP of $440, or $ten beneath the $450 Founders Edition that we reviewed, and is one of EVGA's first 1070s to market.

This review of the EVGA GTX 1070 SC looks at thermals, FPS, racket, and overclocking. We compare the EVGA 1070 SC vs. the MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X and NVIDIA GTX 1070 Founders Edition cards.

EVGA GTX 1070 SC Specs

EVGA'due south GTX 1070 SC is ane of the more affordable cards in the visitor's stack. The "SC" cards (or "SuperClocked") are hierarchically tiered lower than SSC and FTW cards, with only a few flagship GPUs receiving Classified or Chiliad|NGP|Due north cards.

This is an SC carte. Its clock-rate is natively configured to 1594MHz / 1784MHz (base of operations/boost), which is increased roughly 100MHz over the GTX 1070 Reference ("Founders Edition") clock-charge per unit of 1506MHz / 1683MHz. EVGA'southward shipping its 1070 SC with an effective memory clock of 8008MHz – the same as the GTX 1070. All GTX 1070 video cards will utilize GDDR5 memory, not the GDDR5X ("G5X") debuted on the GTX 1080.

Dimensionally, the EVGA GTX 1070 SC is more than workable than some of MSI's newest video cards, like the MSI 1080 Gaming X nosotros just reviewed (and the MSI 1070 Gaming X, which uses the aforementioned size PCB). EVGA's SC card runs the same height as the expansion slot – ~four.376", or 111.15mm – and uses exactly two expansion slots. There is no "two.five" slot setup, here. Its 10.v" length is fully saturated with fans and an aluminum heatsink.

New coolers accompany well-nigh every generational jaunt. EVGA's longest-continuing cooling solution falls under the "ACX" make proper name ("Agile Cooling Xtreme"). The company updated to ACX 3.0 with the Pascal launch, something we detailed with great specificity in our Computex 2016 coverage of EVGA.

The ACX iii.0 libation has been updated in a few ways which EVGA claims to exist critical to its performance gains. Of note, the fan blades in the ACX 3.0 fans are now marginally thicker than on ACX ii.0. Theoretically, this reduces noise levels past reducing turbulence betwixt the blades, thereby reducing vibration and its resulting 'whirr.' The fans use double-brawl bearings, which is somewhat common in these coolers.

Like most vendors, EVGA's ACX libation also spins down to 0RPM when the bill of fare is under limited power describe or thermal demand (through a congenital-in fan curve). This ways the card generates finer 0dB when nether idle loads or lightweight gaming loads, e.g. DOTA2.

ACX 3.0 also makes changes to heatpipes. Unlike MSI, who take resorted to squared heatpipes toward the coldplate, EVGA is sticking with rounded heatpipes that take a "filling" in the corners between the heatpipe and heatsink. When nosotros asked if that filling is copper, we were told "something like that, yeah."

The two fans are mounted atop a somewhat standard aluminum finned heatsink. The heatsink then sits atop a baseplate, which uses thermal pads to cover the VRAM and MOSFETs/VRM components.

As far as visuals, EVGA's updated the face up of its ACX graphics cards. ACX iii.0 is accompanied with LED backlighting for the meshed locations on the card. Some cards employ RGB LEDs, merely the SC sticks with white LED backlights.
