which GTX1070?

[BenoitWW]

Hey guys, I'm kind of indecisive. Can you help me out? which one should i choose?

 

I was originally thinking the Asus GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Video Card but now I'm not sure

I vote for the EVGA 1070 SC. Its cheaper than the others except for the gigabyte g1. Evga however are known for great customer support and if im not mistaken, EVGA's cooler is quieter than Gigabytes's.

Why don't you go for a cheaper brand like MSI? MSI seems reliable.

I see, but can't you order it internationally?

I would prefer not to. Shipping is quite expensive. US $50 + normally

EDIT: I just would prefer to buy locally. the above reason is only one out of many factors

Then there'd be import and added tax costs, so it'd probably end up more expensive than the available options.

@BenoitWW The G1 Gaming card has the best value for your money. 3 fans, RGB, and a nice black backplate, and a mild factory overclock for under $700 NZD is a great price.

would the ROG strix outperform it though? i understand the G1 is value for money, but will the strip outperform? it has higher clock speed..

It will, but definitely no more than 3 FPS. A 40 MHz difference is literally almost nothing.

@BenoitWW As you can see in this video, the Strix doesn't even outperform the G1 Gaming by 1 FPS. As the dude in the video says, your chances of winning the silicon lottery is higher when purchasing Gigabyte cards (cards which are able to OC higher than the majority of cards).

jeez, thanks for this research. I'll change it over to the G1 !
