The GTX 1070 and GTX1080 are running at 1800MHz+ for the duration of the video (3 minutes), while GTX 980Ti only at 1215MHz.

If you continue another 5-6 minutes of gameplay both GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 will start to throttle down and performance will be lower.

No throttling issues in Doom on my 1080 FE. Running at 2050mhz max boost all day long, with ~60% fan sustained. I cannot do higher than 2050mhz reliably though, so it appears my card is freq-limited rather than cooling.

If you drop it to 55% (the default max fan speed) does the clocks drop?

Just fine.

Not seen a 1070 for a good price yet though. Obviously a lot more demand than supply.
It will most likely be a while before they drop to the stated MSRP price. But by then you will have custom AIB models which will cost just as much as they do now.

Not that I have seen, no. The noise is acceptable up to that level with sound playing or headphones. The temp usually hovers between 55-70C, so I am pretty sure I could kick the fan down a bit without issues. It runs pretty cool.

The card reminds me a lot of my GTX 670. It overlocked ~15%, stayed cool, but hit a stability wall. Works for me, it does what I need it to. :)

Ran Firestrike Ultra 4K and did see some minor clock differences; note all the runs were back-to-back and following a gaming session to not do just ideal runs...

max 60% fan: 5058
max 55% fan: 5031
max 30% fan (almost silent): 4984

Will try a looped test at some point and review logs, but this is the best I have so far. Clocks stayed in the 1950-2000 range (for the most part) on the 30% fan speed compared to the 2000mhz+ on the other two speeds.

Little off topic but... how does the 1080 run with your rift? Did you try with your old card first?

Just my personal experience, but thought I'd share a quick summary. Got my EVGA (SC, not FE) 1070 from Newegg yesterday. OC'd no problem to 2100/9000 and Firestrike scored almost 21000. Gaming at 80+ fps with everything Ultra/maxxed in the various games I tried is pretty glorious, and it's very quiet with temps always under 60 even under load on air. I could not possibly be happier.

I can't really compare it, honestly, as I had parted out my old rig before getting the Rift, Core, NUC and 1080. Very happy with the performance, but I cannot compare it to the 5820k+970 (1550mhz) directly in regards to VR. Sorry. :)

Nice!!

:thumbsup:

I cannot quite get 2100mhz with my 1080. Is 2100mhz pretty good for the 1070? Exceptional OC, average, etc?

From what I've seen from various reviews around the net on different 1070 AIB models 2100 is maybe just slightly above average, but definitely not 4-leaf clover golden sample lucky or anything. The EVGA SC are at least screened to be a touch above average I believe (although that's been debated). Above 2000 should be expected from any of them I'd think with a voltage+power boost.

What does the RAM and MEM values mean ?
Is it used system RAM ?
Used video RAM ?
Available system RAM ?
Or available video RAM ?

I assume used system RAM and used VRAM.

Where are all this fanboys who said price would be 339 or something like that? :D

Trolling is not permitted here.

The cheapest 1070 I seen was the MSI Aeros @ 409, still 30 higher than the 379 MSRP. :thumbsdown:
