By far, this is the most well built videocard that I have ever purchased, and I have had many. The 10+2 phase power delivery is probably un-necessary, but it is nice that its there for if / when I go for some hefty overclocking.

The fans hardly spool up, even when playing the witcher 3, (I play @ 1200p max'd settings). With vsync off, zero modification to the clocks, it runs 1949 boost, and it doesn't waver at all.

Quick 3dmark bench:

This was run with everything else still going in the background (Steam downloading stuff, overwatch downloading etc.) Seems pretty decent to me! (though maybe i'm short a few hundred points? not sure.)

I briefly had it in my 2700k system before I disassembled it, only scored about 1000 points less, was 14.6k. The Sandy's still hold their ground quite well.

Edit so as not to make 10,000 replies:

It's a video card, so I posted in video cards. If this dramatically offends you I can ask to have it moved.

Update, gave the pc the old restart.

It's fine where it is. Thanks for the first hand review, Geforce man, and enjoy the card :)

I installed the EVGA 1070 dual fan base model on Friday. The fans kick up to about 1000 rpm when playing Doom on ultra. I can hear them up but they are very quiet, actually quieter than the system fans used to sound when playing games on the passively cooled card I replaced. The fans don't spin up for non-gaming use so I still have a silent PC when not gaming. I'm getting just over 100 fps on Doom at 1920x1200 (maybe cut down to 1080?, I'll have to look at that).
