The Card
Visually, you could confuse the ASUS GTX 1070 Ti Strix with other Strix models from the GeForce 10 Series. The theme of the card looks good, with large dark surfaces and a high-quality metal backplate. Dimensions of the card are 30.0 cm x 13.0 cm.
Installation requires three slots in your system.
Display connectivity options include a DVI port, two HDMI ports, and two DisplayPorts. Note that one DisplayPort has been switched to HDMI. ASUS says this is to cater to users who are looking to either run two VR headsets or a VR headset and TV off their graphics card.
Unlike previous-generation NVIDIA cards, the DVI port no longer includes the analog signal, so you'll have to use an active adapter. NVIDIA also updated DisplayPort to be 1.2 certified and 1.3/1.4 ready, which enables support for 4K at 120 Hz and 5K at 60 Hz, or 8K at 60 Hz with two cables.
The GPU also comes with an HDMI sound device. It is HDMI 2.0b compatible, which supports HD audio and Blu-ray 3D movies. The GPU's video-encoding unit has been updated to support HEVC at 10-bit and 12-bit.
We shine the light from a self-leveling line laser onto the card, which shows no sagging.
