Most "money worth" for GTX 1070?

[Joey96]

Hey guys!

 

So I was thinking about emptying my wallet and ripping it apart by buying a GTX 1070.

But with all the non-reference cards out, I dont know which one is the best? Right now I have a MSI GTX 960 2GD5 Gaming, but I dont know if maybe the Gigabyte, ASUS, EVGA, MSI  etc etc. would be better? Any recommendations?

Or maybe even a reference card? Or would a non-reference always be a better choice?

Yea it does not matter which one you choose since all of them will have good cooling but if your looking for rgb (DONT FUCKING KNOW WHY?) go for the EVGA FTW if your looking for performance go for Gigabyte they have always been my favorite for performance if your looking for noise go for the Strix , if your looking at a card for compact design with not much crap go for the MSI

Somewhat "useful" answer ;D But I was looking for a more specific answer  with some technical details :3

Anything that is not the Fanboy Edition is good. How good is a different story. My advice is avoid Asus and Gigabyte

Asus are loud past 45-50% fan speed, VERY LOUD and the coolers  are not the best. The Customer Support is atrocious.

Gigabyte have fucking terrible designs on Pascal with miss-aligned fans and heatsinks. Customer support is also terrible.

I dont know about anything what you stated about Asus but i know about gigabyte they have never had good looking designs they are more focused on performance and cooling heres my list

 

Asus - Design

Gigabyte - Performance

EVGA - Cooling

MSI - Best of triple worls (my favorite)

 

-But wait what about the Zotac ones? they seem solid too? i guess Zotac AMP Extreme editions are only premium since the Zotac GTX 980 Ti performs better than the Titan X while others perform Same or Worse

Gigabytés coolers are horrible this gen - look at this POS - the fans are not blowing directly at the heatsinks and as a result it ends up running hot and loud.

I did not know what they were going for but i think the best anwser is get the cheapest or just get MSI since i think MSI is the best Nice Design with not allot of Crap , Solid Cooling and Solid performance

Wow that card looks horrible since its caching my OCD on the left side not being equal to the right side

EVGA, MSI, Galax - those are the Nvidia brands

My favorite AMD brands are Sapphire and MSI since Gigabyte cut down there 3 fan setup on the new amd cards and made it look horrible the Asus Strix is too fucking massive for any normal case to handle it without drive cages being put out

And XFX

It also performs poorly as 2 of the heatpipes don't make proper contact with the die

i think gigabyte slacks in AMD's new cards they built them horrible and Asus should go down to earth with there designs its not like everybody has a Corsair 900D just laying around...
