Asus 1070 Trubo or Strix

[Varacolaci]

Hello I am about to get a new GTX 1070 (upgrading from 2x gtx770) and I would like to know if the turbo version would be ok or I pay the extra cash for the strix

My Case is a cooler master HAF 932 advanced (no side window i don't like side windows) and I have a decent amount of coolers inside but here (mexico) the turbo is amost 200USD cheaper than the strix. I almost never overclock the GPU so I don't have that in mind neither.

 

I can see a little slower clock speeds in the turbo. But, those 200usd worth it?

The Turbo will naturally have worse cooling since it's a blower style card whilst the STRIX is not. And as you said, the STRIX has higher clocks out of the box.

 

But for $200 less? The Turbo any day.

200 USD? where you shopping? it wouldn't be worth the 200 extra dollars for a strix (assuming they're both 1070's) but there is also no good reason for the strix to be $200 more than the turbo (you're into GTX 1080 range at that point)

Its only about 15 dollars more. I would say its definitely worth the extra 15 dollars for a strix

sorry it is around 100usd. wich is around 2000 mexican pesos
The 1080 is far more expensive than that

Yeah but if I can buy in there (i know the prices in the EEUU) and send it to me I would have to pay around 100usd just in delivery and taxes when it enters to mexico (at least another 60usd) and 410+60 is 470 wich is even more expensive than the price in here turned into pesos

Seeing how he's living in Mexico, he's not getting a STRIX for just $15 more than the Turbo.

If you cannot get the strix at a reasonable price, then get another kind. there is nothing really 'wrong' with the turbo, but its style of cooler tends to be less effective, and much louder than the open air coolers they compete against.. Get away from Asus and look for another card from another company. MSI Gaming X, any EVGA card with their ACX coolers, Gigabyte Windforce cards, Zotac AMP! cards, etc. One of those should be more reasonably priced. Cards with better coolers, especially with pascal cards, will tend to run faster thanks to GPU boost. so having a better cooler on your card WILL be helpful, but it won't be 200 dollars helpful.

But at the end of the day if the turbo is all you can afford, then there isn't really anything "wrong" with it, especially if you don't intend to overclock.

didn't see that on the first read through. he was talking USD, so i figured the guy would be in the united states. Crazy right?

[Varacolaci]

it's just that almost any other with open fan model is at least 60usd higher in price

But I may just wait a bit get the extra money and get a cheaper open fan design model

Turbo is the poor people version of the card! Nah I am just messing with you, there is no reason to get a blower design card unless your case have terrible air-flow!
