What 1070 do I chose?

[Parman]

Title sums it up to be honest, I've chosen the Asus GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Dual Series Video Card mainly for ascetic reasons, be i noticed the zotac amp! Was about £40 cheaper. I was wondering what's the best card?

I'd recommend the EVGA GTX 1070 FTW, it's a very nice card, I'd consider it to be one of the best cards available in terms of GTX 1070s.

 

I haven't used it myself, so I can't say too much about it, though I have heard it's pretty good with temps, noise, and overclocking, not to mention it looks great as well.

EVGA cards are quite realiable and theyr temperatures do stay low ^^. My SC/ACX 770 has yet to produce any significant coil whine issues or thermal problems. I havent seen it go over 75Cº in 3 years.

Agree EVGA customer support and warranty are very much worth it

What About ASUS ROG STRIX 1070? (non-OC Version)

Any card will perform within 1% of any other at the same clock speeds.

Any non-reference cooler is generally going to perform adequately.  (Although sometimes there are definitely fuckups in this regard with faulty coolers.)

Aesthetics are stupid because you don't ever see the card, even if you have a case window.  Especially when the rest of your system is boring stock looking stuff.

 

My suggestion is to buy the cheapest one unless you want to overclock as a hobby.  Buying a more expensive card for overclocking is a waste unless you're gonna put it on water.
