Asus Strix GTX 1070, what to do?

[Alexaldin]

Hello dear fellows,

I'd like to ask you a thing. I bought from an e-shop here in Italy a Strix 1070 O8G, the factory overclocked version on 27/06. Since then, they put my order as a preorder since the card still isn't out. Last week they write me that the card is at the customs and they don't know when they get them. But, they have the Strix 1070 8G, the non-overclocked version, and if I wanna they can send me the non-oc. What should I do? Change to the non-oc version or wait for the factory oc?

You should get MSI or EVGA instead. ASUS is crap.

[Alexaldin]

I don't like MSI as a brand, bought two of them card and I wasn't really happy with them. Why Asus is crap? I like the look, and since multiple person said to me that there's no difference beetween any GTX 1070 model, I opted for the one I like the most.

Acer is not a bad brand at all so im not sure where you are coming from.

 

ASUS tends to have bad Customer Service, and performance is good compared to other cards.

Bad is a understatement it is utter shit, sure the performance is good, but the cooling of everything else than the core is shit.

Oh, didn't know it. What's the best then?

I always bought Asus MB, and never had a problem. That's why I choose again Asus, even if it's a vga and not a mb.

But, that's not what I asked. I want to know if there's any difference between the OC version and the non-oc version. With the non-oc, can I manually oc it to the oc version and beyond?

They are good at motherboards, just shit at GPUs

Yes, but it is a Asus GPU so the cooling is not good for the vram

Yep just download couple of free uningine benchmarks from here https://unigine.com/en/products/benchmarks

do an initial test and note average temp, FPS, clocks speeds and just how well you felt it went then download this 

free overclocker https://gaming.msi.com/features/afterburner you can raise power to 110% no sweat and raise core and

memory 50 mhz at a time then have the benchmarks run for a total of 15-20 minutes and if anything was unstable lower the

clock back, if you feel temps are too hot just simply adjust the fan curve to have it run faster at lower temps. do this until as I just

said about stability do it until you are unstable then adjust it back to where you are stable, relax this program won't let you do anything

that will kill your card. any other questions or want to see it in a video
