Gigabyte Announces the GeForce GTX 1070 G1.Gaming Graphics Card

GIGABYTE, the world's leading premium gaming hardware manufacturer, today released the GeForce GTX 1070 G1 GAMING graphics card (GV-N1070G1 GAMING-8GD). Featuring Super Overclocked GPU, the renowned WINDFORCE cooling and RGB illumination, the Pascal-powered card with 8GB of GDDR5 memory receives a thorough G1 GAMING treatment to deliver TITAN X-class performance while keeping cool and silent for an incredible next-generation gaming experience.

The WINDFORCE 3X cooling system incorporates 2 composite copper heat-pipes with direct touch to GPU, special fin architecture, and unique blade fan design, together delivering an effective heat dissipation capacity for superior performance at a lower temperature. The 3D Active Fan provides semi-passive cooling, which allows gamers to enjoy gameplay in complete silence when the system is running light or idle. An LED fan indicator provides a user-friendly, instant display of the fan status.
The new shroud design with orange accents reveals a vibrant gaming look for G1 GAMING. The metal back plate offers rigidity and protection to the structure, while adding a sleek, clean look to the card. The GTX 1070 G1 GAMING is further styled up with the GIGABYTE LED logo available in full-spectrum RGB. With 16.8M customizable color options and numerous lighting effects, gamers could enjoy maximum freedom to choose the right scheme for their gaming rigs using the XTREME Engine utility software.

Game on and Go Super Overclock
The GTX 1070 G1 GAMING is forged with the top-notch GPU cores through GIGABYTE's very own GPU Gauntlet Sorting technology, pushing overclocking capability to the limit without compromising system reliability. The 6+2 power phases on the card make the MOSFET working at a lower temperature to provide more stable voltage output.

The card also comes with one-click overclocking via the XTREME Engine. With a simple mouse click, gamers can easily tune the card to meet their various gaming requirements without any overclocking knowledge, while saving themselves the hassle of manual adjustment.

Reinforced with G1 Durability
Boasting the highest-grade chokes and capacitors, the GTX 1070 G1 GAMING delivers outstanding performance and a durable system lifespan to take on today's most challenging gaming demands.

The smart power LED indicator helps to ensure the system stability at all times. In case of any power abnormality, the flashing LED adjacent to the power connector could immediately bring the issue to the gamer's attention; a consistent light signals power disconnection.

Might want to look at that again. When installed in a case that logo will be in the correct orientation.

I don't think the retards want you as a customer.

The logo is properly oriented.

You want to install it in a Dell desktop PC or an HTPC? That's the only way the logo will be upside down. :)

Or inverted ATX, in which case you won't see the backplate anyway :laugh:

Personally I would like to see ITX version of 1070. And for the rest - 3 slot cooling to be the norm because there is enough space in the case. Currently 3-slot is reserved to Xtreme version.

This one has been constantly going in and out of stock on NewEgg for the past couple of days for $430.

Most of the other non-reference 1070s seem to be around $450 despite having the same clocks and similar cooling performance, so this seems like a pretty good deal.

Okay I drove to newegg yesterday and picked up my two gtx 1070s and an MSI hb sli bridge, just in case there was some future benefit. Every game that I tried (Witcher 3, Project Cars, GTA 5, Mortal Kombat X, The Evil Within, Mad Max, Fallout 4) ran ABOVE 60 fps in 4K at max/ultra settings. The exceptions were Crysis 3 which hovered around 53 fps and GTA 4 which averaged 53 fps in 4K.

The 1070s are gigabyte g1 gaming cards ($429 US) and the overclock software I used to push these in sli is EVGA Precision X. To overclock I simply increased the power target to the max of 111%, the core clock to in increments of +25 to land at +75 ( +100 caused the Heaven Valley Benchmark to crash ), set a max temp of 81 degrees, and I haven't touch the memory clock yet. This land me at a stable clock speed of 2078 with no fluctuation during gameplay at a max temp of 72 degrees. I'm still testing because I've only had these cards for a couple of hours, but it is a huge improvement over my two 970s and it so happens that the games I play have sli profiles.

I didn't notice any microstutter, but because I was testing with vsync off on all the games there was slight screen tearing when panning the camera too quickly in a few of the games. It happened far less than with 970 sli and was less noticeable in comparison due to frame rate being above 60 compare to the previous 35fps average of the 970 sli. I've noticed through my different builds over the last 2 years that gaming in 4K introduces a higher probability of screen tearing that is more pronounced the lower the frame rate, which is solved by vsync at the cost of performance . 60 fps almost drastically lowers the visibility and occurrences of screen tearing without the need for vsync.

I'll keep testing and post any updates.
