Customers are positive about the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 XLR8 Gaming Edition's performance, price, and quiet operation during gaming.

    Good performance but very cheap feeling. Runs about 10°c hotter than my Asus 1070. I purchased this for mining and is sitting below my Asus card. It should be getting better airflow but doesn't seem to benefit from this. If you are looking for a card to get the job done and don't care about looks save some money and get this card. If not not spend a little more and get a better built card.

    so after selling my GTX 960 2GB card I RAN up to my local Best Buy and found out this was the only 1070 they had in stock, so I bit the bullet, well got home installed it and bench marked and it performed as expected. well after benching it, I just happen to look online and found the FE card for $30 less! well I ordered that card and will return this one once I receive it! So this card doesnt have a backplate, that was a bummer for me, also like everyone else says the cooler feels cheap I would recommend this card to friends and family that don't care about the looks

    I upgraded from an MSI 970 gtx and it has been night and day. I don’t have any benchmarks nor do I do any overclocking. This runs much quieter and I’m thankful Best Buy had this at MSRP when I need to replace the old card. I play the Batman Arkham series, some of the four year old Call of Duty games and some other!titles that date into 2017 at 1080p. I just bought a 144hz monitor (so hard to give an accurate review) but when I was running at 60hz it was still great. No driver issues or crashing issues like my old card. Running most of my games at the highest settings.

    Needed to upgrade my graphics card, was running a 960, which was struggling to run some of the games i was playing (PUBG, RE7, Evil Within.) This card can run all of those with no issues. I would for sure recommend this card if you are looking to upgrade.

    Real nice step up from a GTX 970

    This was definitely an unexpected purchase, but then again, since it was Christmas, I figured what the heck (I've been, ahem, a good boy). This went into my Core i5 4690K gaming rig, and was an upgrade from a GTX 970. Overall I'd say I'm seeing about an average of a 30% to 40% performance improvement in every game and benchmark I've tested so far. I game primarily at 1440p, and I think this card is perfect for that. And that 8 GB of VRAM really helps. I was a little nervous since I never owned a PNY graphics card before, but so far I haven't had any MAJOR issues -- except for one small thing. Sometimes you can hear, I admit, a little bit of coil whine (which was a first for me -- I've read about this phenomenon before but never experienced it first-hand). But it's pretty minor, and in fact, now that the card has been burned in for almost two months, it's practically a non-issue at this point. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase, and I think it will extend the life of my system for some time (especially since I decided to overclock the CPU to 4.2 GHz).

    The PNY GTX 1070 runs very cool, yet quiet. Can reliably maintain 60c under load. The card itself seems light and flimsy, but I was impressed that it performs as well as other competing brands.

    I bought a few because I head some run hotter than others. It was a good thing because one did. After figuring out which was hot, I returned, but still use the others.

    Got this GPU as it was on sale for under 300.00!!! I used it for gaming and the GPU never overheated and stayed at a constant 80 FPS. I still have this on my gaming computer and would recommend this to any one looking to build a PC as the price is very reasonable.

    I use this card for streaming through twitch. It really makes my life a lot easier because everything is smooth. Frames are high, doesn’t overheat unless under extreme pressure. Great for gaming, great for editing, great for everything I’ve used it for.
