Pros: -Fast processor makes for great productivity -1070 able to do 60+ on most games 1080p (Do not have 1440p or 4k monitor but this card can do those as well) -Case design is nice, plenty of USB ports on front and back.

Cons: -Only one case fan = loud. Minor complaint for me personally -Can get hot with maxed out settings, but nothing dangerous or unstable.

Ultra 4K 60FPS+ Gaming at an extreme price point

EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FTW3 ULTRA GAMING, 11G-P4-2487-KR, 11GB GDDR6, iCX2 & RGB LED

Pros: -Achieves 4K 60FPS+ Ultra Settings in most games -Stays cool, ~70C playing COD Black Ops 4 @6K DSR Ultra settings -Easily overclockable, with a Auto-OC Option included via software. -Looks sleek, premium, and not blindingly flashy -Nice metal backplate

Cons: -Extremely expensive, especially compared to the 1080TI's pricing. The ray-tracing features of this card are still restricted to a literal handful of games, and the FPS drops are quite high. The DLSS is not even close to the picture quality of regular 1440/4K. -EVGA Precision X1 Software, which lets you control all 3 gpu fans along with OC'ing is very buggy. Fan profiles will reset randomly, along with the program not starting up on boot when checked off with the option.

Overall Review: I can't really recommend this product unless you really want the very best 4K experience NOW. The Ray-tracing and the DLSS features are still in their infancy, there are very few games that support these features at the moment and they are not well optimized. The card itself costs around the same as a mid-range gaming PC, so just keep that in mind - This card is for early adopters really.
