    best graphics card i ever bought when i got it still using to this day even re-painted the backplate to kinda re-spark that beauty to it, still reliable as long as you do some yearly maintinence on it and clean it inside and out only if you know what you're doing/

    The title says it all. Card was a good price it is a decent gaming card. Also very nice for watching 4k streaming. But it really truly shines at mining crypto coins. Zcash in particular. I have 3 of them and would not mind a fourth one.

    Have been running a EVGA GTX 1060 SSC in the beast my son and I built last summer, wanted a GTX 1070 but had run into my budget wall around 2400. Thought I would wait a couple months then pop for the GTX 1070 and hand the GTX 1060 over to the kid for his box. If you have been following the market it has been nutz for close to a year with prices ridiculous. So, my purchase was put off till now. Have checked online occasionally to see if there might be a GTX 1070 at a reasonable price. Typically, by now the prices would have dipped but due to the demand it’s not happened. Two nights ago, saw that Best Buy had the GTX 1070 at my store at a good price, waited till morning to purchase and of course all gone. Found one at a store 60 miles away and now have it in my machine. Long winded way of saying that I APPRECIATE that Best Buy did not gouge its customers on the price (like other well-known sources have done). KUDOS to Best Buy for not marking up hundreds of dollars on the card. Was it worth a two-hour drive, you betcha. The card is smoking hot (performance that is), sips on the electric juice, and looks very nice behind the tempered glass on my Cooler Master case. Love the light (green) scheme on card edge, goes nicely with the build. Not a top end gamer but enjoy Cities Skylines and CIV 6 to pass the time and the GTX 1070 doesn’t even break a sweat running all settings at full tilt. My GTX 1060 did a great job with the games, but with a fire breathing beast of a machine it deserves a smokin’ hot card. It is the best card for the money for almost any gamer today, and when 4K 120hz arrives you can simply SLI two together and Rock On.

    This card is a sequel to the 970 and it shines in all categories. Comparative performance to a 980 with the price under $500. This card will play just about anything maxed out, and can be SLI'd to reach Titan Black specs (according to Linus Tech Tips YouTube channel). You won't be disappointed with the looks either. Nvidia's reference cards are top notch in design and performance.

    Best Buy is the place to buy GTX 1070 Founders

    GTX 1070 founders is a well designed, good looking, fast graphics card. And Best Buy is currently one of the only places in the US selling this card at the MSRP. It is worlds faster than the GTX 1060 and only about 5% slower than uglier, cheesier, variants that cost 50% more. This model is also really good for SLI configurations as it vents outside the case. GTX 1070 SLI is faster than GTX 1080 Ti in many cases.

    This card is intense. The 1070 is the new king for this pricepoint, without question. This is a reference design and as such it does run hotter than I would like. However it still does the job and looks really good. Would likely tell someone to go get an aftermarket cooler, unless you want to SLI these. **PROS -FAST, High framerates on 1080p with everything as high as it can go. This is the perfect card for 1440p@60hz - And a great card for 1080p@144hz, assuming you want to max everything as high as you can -Looks really good -Relatively quiet **CONS -Backplate is plastic. Kinda makes it feel cheap..but its a GPU you won't be touching it often -Mishmash of connectors. Basically one of everything. -Runs a bit hot - I chalk this up to the reference design

    he 1070 has been flawless with gaming, graphics are stunning and well worth the price. although I would have liked a 1080, the 1070 was a little bit cheaper and still worth getting.I was using a gtx 670, and now with the 1070 I see even better graphics and speed in gaming, and visuals in games on ultra setting with no stuttering or screen tearing.

    Even though I was put on backorder for little over a month before Best Buy was able to ship the product; once I got it, it’s great. No issues, running games on max settings no problems. For my setup I don’t hear it to be any louder than others. Overall it’s an amazing investment and should be able to last for a few years before games become to complex. Looks good too but pretty large.

    I upgraded to this 1070 FE from a 1050ti that was bought a year and a half ago when GPU prices were out of this world. The difference is night and day. The 1070 let’s me play most games on ultra settings with frame rates of 60-100. Sea of Thieves and Tomb Raider both look amazing. My set up is an i7 7700k overclocked to 4.8, 16 GB DDR4 at 3000, and this 1070 FE. Just a note, the stock fan speed curve doesn’t seem to allow for great cooling so I use MSI Afterburner (free software) to keep this GPU a bit cooler. Overall a great card and I would recommend it to anyone looking for something in this price range.

    I had no plans to purchase this card, as I had planned to purchase a GTX 970 for my son. However, when this card was released, I decided to purchase it for my system and pass down my GTX 970 to my son. The card performs as expected. I had $325 in gift cards I had been saving for a while that eased the blow of the purchase price, so for me it was much more affordable. I recommend, if you have the budget, if not, the 970's, 980's and 980TI's are still decent cards that are more affordable now and still good cards for 1080P gaming. Lastly, I know the partner cards add many more features, such as factory overclocking and aftermarket coolers but I personally prefer the reference design cards built by NVIDIA.

    NVidia does it again

    I have always used NVidia graphics cards. I find them to be absolutely top quality. I am not running down the competition. NVidia products are worth the money and this is no exception. Absolutely excellent graphics, even on my older monitors using adapters. One Warning: It has 1 HDMI port, 1 DVI port and 4 Display Ports. Be aware that you may have to use an adapter or buy a new monitor. It would be best to wait until the models with display port inputs are less expensive. Absolutely recommended. Easy to install, easy to setup, and easy to upgrade the drivers on your computer. You may have to wait a few minutes after installing the drivers and GEForce Experience Software to be able to optimize your game.

    Waited for Graphics cards to get reasonably priced. $399 is what it is worth and that is what I paid. Works well in my Hackintosh, Windows and Linux machine. Paired with the i7 8700 and 16 Gigs of Ram. Will add another 16 when RAM becomes reasonable. The Founders edition is a really good card as reviewed on Toms Hardware. A comparable card might be a AMD Vega 56 but at double the price. It hits the sweet spot. Much better than a 1060 6 Gig (still to expensive at the time of review) for what you get. Not a 1080 but i do not plan to game in 4K. Works nicely with Blender on all operating systems. Great engineering but expensive piece of electonics. Overall very happy with my purchase. Cheers!

    I bought this card from my local Best Buy. I paid $399. I am very pleased with the performance of the 1070 Founders Edition. Amazing graphics, and VR ready. The only gpu I like more is the 1080 TI, which is an awesome card but also cost $700-$800. This is a lot of graphics card for $400 bucks. I would definitely recommend the 1070. Looks awesome too, with a metal case and led's lit up on the top. Looks and feels extremely well built, and I was blown away with the performance of this card. Nvidia seams to be setting the standard for gpu's. I'm excited to see what they come up with next!

    Any game any time any where any settings! The only way to get this card to hesitate is trying to run max settings on a 4k screen (even then it' doable). My setup is I7, 16GB, SSD, Corsair CX750M and I can run any new game (Hitman, Rainbow Six, etc) at "ultra" maxed out settings at 1920x1080 and get 100+ fps. This card is BADA**!! I had an EVGA GTX960 2GB prior to this and the two don't compare at all. Only thing is this card is VERY long so if you have a factory small tower or similar it may not fit. In my Dell I had to creatively remove the hard drive cage to make room.

    After buying many video cards on the lower end for a number of years, I decided that it was time to get something quality for once. I picked up this 1070 Founders Edition and have yet to replace it. It's crushed pretty much every game I've thrown at it without complaint. It sports a distinctive look without getting as overwrought as some of the third-party designs. My favorite card of all time.

    this does work on certaint games for 4k but its best at 1080p and 1440p if you over clock it you can get at least 47 fps in 4k and 89 and up for 1440p.. 1080p is a easy 120fps at ultra settings this is a beast of a card

    This card has been serving me very well for the past month and a half, almost. Not only does this card perform extremely well out of the box, but the card, in my opinion, looks stellar. I really like the look of cards directly from Nvidia. This card went well with the case that I chose. Personally, I am not the biggest fan of the other cards out there in terms of aesthetics. This card looks very clean. This card also performs very well too. In all the games that I have played so far; Far Cry 3, Overwatch, Mad Max, Dirt Rally, Tomb Raider, it has been immensely satisfying to go into the games' menus, set the resolution to my monitor's native resolution (1440p 144hz 1ms response), and crank the settings to max. The games I mentioned also are pulling frames above 60 fps consistently. This is without any overclocking. I have heard from others that overclocking is difficult and clock speeds are lower than other after market cards, which is true due to the blower style cooler, but so far I have had no need to overclock my card. I am happy with the out of box performance, and the blower style is aesthetically pleasing in my opinion. I am sure that the need for overclocking will come in the future. On a side note, Nvidia really knows how to package there products and create an unboxing experience like none other. Opening the packaging the card came in was such a pleasant experience I really did not want to throw the box away because it was such a nice box. This may sound weird, but you really should experience this yourself.

    I haven't experienced anything like this in the gaming world before. Everything is running flawless. I try to tax this thing and give it a workout but it hasn't been able to break a sweat. All games on ultra resolution without a stutter. 60 fps+ at all times on every title I've thrown at it. For this price I feel this is a fantastic product that is definitely future proof for a good many years. Also relatively quiet and runs pretty cool temperature wise. 3D mark benchmarks but my modest rig in the top 10% with this card.
