Question 1

Ever since EVGA announced it would be handing out free thermal pads and a BIOS upgrade to lessen the heat output of this card, Ive been reluctant about buying it. I've had my heart set  on this card for a while though.... If I buy this from NEWEGG.COM will it come with the thermal pads and BIOS update on it? Or will I have to order the pads from EVGA?

Accepted Answer

EVGA has stated that all new cards will have the proper pads and bios updates when purchased, but if you don't have it on your card, you can get the free pads by registering your card, or you can send your card to EVGA to get one that is already fixed, as it is under warranty.

Question 2

what type of display port adapters should I get? my monitors only support hdmi and dvi

Accepted Answer

My monitors are the same. I used one straight HDMI from the monitor into the card and for the other I use an HDMI to DVI adapter since there is only 1 HDMI port and 1 DVI port on the card.

Question 3

What is the max watt usage on it ?

Accepted Answer

I've only seen the card reach 200 watts, but the evga website says 215 watts is the max power draw. Keep in mind these DT versions are not garunteed to come at FTW speeds, it's all down to luck. So this card could have a potential max watt usage between 150W-215W depending on how far it overclocks.

Contact EVGA customer support if you have any questions about their 1070 cards. Neweggs live chat is poorly educated when it comes down to the difference between the DT FTW and FTW.

Question 4

if my pcu has 2 8 pin  connectors on the same wire would it cause problems to intall it that way or do i need to put 2 Dual 4-pin Molex to Dual 8-pin penci?

Accepted Answer

As long as your psu has the proper power it should work perfectly fine

Question 5

Is this one better on OC than SUPER CLOCKED EDITION ?

Accepted Answer

Should not be any different, some people say that it will overclock better since it has the extra 8 pin connector for power but others say that the extra connector is unnecessary and have gotten just as good clock speeds with cards that only have the one 8 pin connector. as long as your heat is in check you are only limited by the silicon lottery

Question 6

Why is FTW in the title when it is obviously not that model according to the pictures and clock speeds?

Accepted Answer

This model is basically the same as the more expensive version FTW, but it is DT so it is with FE clock speeds and has 2 BIOS Chips like the OC's FTW so you can OC it by yourself if you want to, and you should reach same speeds as the one sold OC'd already. its a good cheap alternative if you like overclocking

Question 7

Question 8

If I purchase a card now, will it be one of the ones with the thermal and bios fix applied, or will I have to go through EVGA to get the replacement pads?

Accepted Answer

Anything purchased from evga after their announcement will be completely fixed however if newegg is selling it to you from their stock that has been sitting around since before the announcement it could still need the bios and thermal pads

Question 9

Does this card use Samsung memory or Micron?

Accepted Answer

Gpu-z on my card says samsung, however if you are worried about overclocking potential I can tell you that my card overclocked 4750mhz on the memory which is nearly the same clock as on gddr5x memory so it still works great

Question 10

Does this model include adjustable RBG LED lighting?

Accepted Answer

Yes this model is exactly the same as the original FTW just without the factory overclocked speeds
