EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW2 GAMING iCX, 08G-P4-6676-KR, 8GB GDDR5, RGB LED, 9 Thermal Sensors, Asynchronous Fan Control, Thermal Display LED System, Optimized Airflow Fin Design, Die Cast/Form Fitted Baseplate/Backplate
EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW2 GAMING iCX, 08G-P4-6676-KR, 8GB GDDR5, RGB LED, 9 Thermal Sensors, Asynchronous Fan Control, Thermal Display LED System, Optimized Airflow Fin Design, Die Cast/Form Fitted Baseplate/Backplate

Pros: Bleeding fast Cool, Quiet, and loaded. Protected and peace of mind. This unit even just one has enough power to destroy any video game currently on the market for 1080p, 1440p, or 4k. I bought two to replace my 2 Evga 970 FTW's I had overclocked to 1750MHz. Two of these are 50% Faster then my 2 970 FTW's at the stock frequency. They are also cooler, and much more silent. Coming out with a score of 9,935 in Time Spy 3DMark11 paired with a i7 4790K, 2133Mhz G.Skill Ares Ram, Z97 Maximus VII hero motherboard by Asus and a Samsung 850PRO 256GB SSD. Two play Ghost Recon Wildlands on Ultra, @ 2k resolution (2560x1440p 60hz) and run at a constant 60FPS with the High Res texture pack for Fallout 4. Highly recommend it and with a custom fan profile running the fans 100% @ 60'C the cards themselves never get past 60'C with the noise not much more then my case fans on high. Compared to my 970 FTW's these sound as if it's not running compared to those at 100%. Gaming temps I have not been able to get past 60'C and when benchmarking they barely get past 60'C.

Cons: Not a blower version but cant complain and not really a con.

Overall Review: Two of these destroys anything, one is faster then my 2 970 FTW's in SLI that were heavily overclocked. Two are 50% Faster then 2 970's in SLI.

Pros: Very nice looking DVD Burner. I've yet to try it out.

Cons: Was damaged by NewEgg befor it was shipped. Face plate looks like it was dropped. Box itself was undamaged and the bubble wrap + peanuts looks fine so it wasn't a UPS Failure.

Overall Review: Hopefully i won't have to get this RMA'd....

Amazing!

Pros: Amazing Color, picture quality and performance

Cons: Stand is kinda meh and no tilt or swivel

Overall Review: No real complaints other then the stand leaves a lot to be desired. For the price of $319+Tax, its a STEAL.

Great

Pros: Amazing RGB, Performance. Running in my seriously deadly battle station.

Cons: Plagued with INQL BSOD & "page file errors".

Overall Review: Not really worth the insane premium. Replaced my G.Skill TridentZRGB of same cas and speed. Still iffy on how I feel, thus 3/5

Exactly as expected

Pros: Great color, viewing angles, performance. Can not complain. Moved from an ASUS PB278Q 1440p 60hz display. Love it

Cons: Not really a con, but the front LED light on the front is bright as hell at night. I covered it with electrical tape.

Overall Review: It's going to take some time to get used to. Having been using a 60hz display for most of my life (34yrs old). It is very different to move from a 60hz to a 144hz. My gaming performance has taken a definite hit but I do know its because I am super fine tuned to 60hz. I am using 2 1080 Ti's and a i7 9700K @ 4.9GHz (4.7GHz all 8 cores). Its NOT a performance issue in any way. Absolute best monitor for its price and performance.
