KFA2 Intros GeForce GTX 1070 Single-slot Graphics Card

btarunr · Apr 18, 2017

Galaxy's EU-based subsidiary KFA2 introduced its single-slot GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card in the old continent. A re-brand of the Galax GTX 1070 Katana, the KFA2 GeForce GTX 1070 Katana features a dense aluminium fin-channel cooling solution that's reminiscent of the GeForce 9800 GT glory days. The card sticks to NVIDIA reference clock speeds of 1506/1683 MHz (core/GPU Boost), with 8.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective) memory. The card draws power from a single 8-pin PCIe power connector; display outputs include one each of DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0b, and dual-link DVI. Available now in the EU, the KFA2 GeForce GTX 1070 Katana is priced at 419€ (incl. MWST).

"Aluminium fin-channel"...hm...looks more like copper to me...

If they remove the DVI the card would have more exhaust area. They could bundled DP/HDMI to DVI adapter.

Wow, awesome!!! Love these cards and was hoping to see one! Only disappointing thing is the outputs, why they chose to include the DVI and cut the other outputs down so far is beyond me. Could have just stuck with the 3 DP's and HDMI to give more options and included the adapter (IMHO). Oh well, still an awesome card that I want to see how the thermals hold up and noise.

I'd argue they should go farther, and only use two mini DP ports, and use the other 70% of the slot for cooling. A single slot blower like that would be awesome.

Damn, reminds me of the good old 8800GT!
