1440p and 60 hz. Their are some games I can play that I did not enjoy because it was below 60 fps. The games I enjoy also seem to have nvidia written all over them too.
On what monitor resolution and refresh rate?
It's 60% faster. Pretty good upgrade if you can afford it.
Note that FTW edition may not overclock better than any other edition, but it does have fancy RGB lights.
Yea I just wanted to go evga since I heard their customer service is good and that is a huge plus for me even though I may never use it.
The EVGA standard ACX and Superclocked ACX offer similar performance at a better price. They have single-color white LEDs and a smaller heatsink (which is plenty effective).
Very nice review I enjoyed reading that. Looks like an overall very improved 980ti.My full review of the EVGA GTX 1070 SC is up, benching it against the 970, 980, and 980 Ti, stock and overclocked.
While its performance is pretty impressive, the power use is what really gets my attention. It uses far less power than a 970!
Fair enough but they are like only 10 bucks cheaper. Also will I run it any major issues with performnance on a my stock 4670k?
The SC was $30 cheaper, but now it's out of stock, and the FTW dropped in price $10 (at least at Newegg). It's a pretty good deal at that price.
A stock 4670K will only hold it back in a few games. Crysis 3 at 1080p would be a prime example. It's not enough of a problem to suggest you upgrade to something less powerful, like a GTX 1060, which will only be about 20% faster than your card.

I wonder if this means yields in general are improving, which could lead to more supply, which could lead to MSRP?!
Just ordered a 1070. EVGA model.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GX5YWAO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
In stock. Price was $439. Used a $30 gift card I had kicking around to bring price to $409 shipped. Well within my ballpark. Very excited. Will be replacing a GTX950. System is also seeing a swap from the i3-6100 to the i7-6700. Sould be interesting all around!
You are in for a nice treat with that upgrade, congrats.
Curious, what display are you using?
I have a 27" Acer k272HUL. It's a rather lovely display for the price @ 2K with IPS. Been very pleased with it. Contemplating getting another to swap out my older TN HD panel I use for a second display.
Oh wow, going from a GTX 950 to a GTX 1070 is going to be huge for you. Modern games will be playable at 2560x1440, high quality settings. :thumbsup:
I'm looking at a similar 25in 1440p display from Acer but it's a lot less than the one you have. $269 actually, is there a big difference you think?I have a 27" Acer k272HUL.

Thanks for the input. I suppose if I do end up with that model I'll be looking at a 1070 too or maybe a discounted 980ti. Just haven't made my mind up yet.Mainly the 2 extra inches of screen size. The one you linked is 25" but it has a nicer bezel. I got mine when it was on sale and think I paid just under $300. The K272HUL was on sale a LOT a few months back when I got it. I kept gravitating back to it for that reason. Was mainly looking for IPS, Displayport and 27 inches and this seemed to be the best price/quality with the best ratings. It also has VESA mount support, which is something I plan to use at some point.

Ryan Smith:
As for GTX 1070, things are a bit different. The card has all of the ROPs of GTX 1080 and 80% of the memory bandwidth, however what it doesnt have is GP104s 4th GPC. Home of the Raster Engine responsible for rasterization, GTX 1070 can only setup 48 pixels/clock to begin with, despite the fact that the ROPs can accept 64 pixels. As a result it takes a significant hit here, delivering 77% of GTX 1080s pixel throughput. With all of that said, the fact that in-game performance is closer than this is a reminder to the fact that while pixel throughput is an important part of game performance, its often not the bottleneck.
Nice review, especially the solid writing. Too many reviews are just huge blocks of text. Good flow.
Your review is what compelled me to buy this exact card. I am especially pleased about the power efficiency.
