Question 1

Is there anything wrong with this card? It has a different identification number than a normal 1070. GV-N1070WF3 for this one. GV-N1070G1 for every other one. It is a little concerning. If anybody can tell me what the difference is it would be much appreciated.

Hello Joey,

After looking at the listings there is nothing wrong with this particular unit.  When manufacturers use different model numbers for what looks to be the exact same card, it usually means there are tweaks or changes made to the card to give it some level of better performance over the other card.

In this case it appears that this unit has some lower base and boost clock speeds listed under the specs.

GV-N1070WF3 Core Clock
Base: 1531 MHz in OC Mode
Base: 1506 MHz in Gaming Mode
Boost Clock
Boost: 1721 MHz in OC Mode
Boost: 1683 MHz in Gaming Mode

GV-N1070G1 Core Clock
Boost: 1822 MHz/ Base: 1620 MHz in OC Mode
Boost: 1784 MHz/ Base: 1594 MHz in Gaming Mode

It looks like the G1 model is faster by a bit, other than that they should perform relatively similar to each other.  Hope this helps!

Question 2

Does this graphics card comes with the Geforce counter attack code for fortnite?

Accepted Answer

It comes w/a free offer as of now, which's usually shown underneath of the vendor.  Remember you're still paying for tax on the item for some reason, even though it's "free".  I'm not exactly sure how you can tax any percentage on $0, but they did somehow.

Question 5

I'm extending the life of my Asus P6T Deluxe V2 motherboard.  I'm currently using GeForce GTX570 which is PCI Express 2.0.  The GTX 1070 is PCI Express 3.0.  This should still work with my motherboard, correct?

Accepted Answer

Yes, PCIe slots are backwards compatible, so it'll work.  Most of what we use now in PCIe 3.0 isn't anywhere near being maxed out/fully utilized, so there shouldn't be an issue w/lowered performance.  Just make sure to insert the card in the the x16 slot, instead of the x8 slot for a newer motherboard, if you purchase one.  Your current model only has x16 slots, so you can put it in any slot you prefer and it'll work just fine.

Make sure you wipe the old drivers clean, then do a fresh install of the NVIDIA drivers for the new card to eliminate any possible issues w/compatibility in your system.  Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is the one you'll need, along w/the official NVIDIA drivers.  YouTube can assist you w/this, if you're unsure of what to do.
