hey what's up everybody Jays two cents here and today we're going to do another graphics card review and today we're going to be looking at the EVGA gtx 1070 Super clock a CX 3.0 and the only reason why they stopped there with the name is because they didn't have any more room on the box to come up with a longer title but yeah this video should really be no surprise because you guys know I love my graphics cards as much as as white girls love Starbucks the mastercase 5 and mastercase 5 pro from coolermaster combines modularity with creativity giving you the freedom to build it your way make it yours by clicking the link down in the description now this video should be pretty quick and easy to do considering the superclocked version of the graphics card is no different than the 1080 whereas it is a reference slash founders PCB with their own custom cooling solution on here the HDX 3.0 in this case but in the history of EVGA graphics cards it's pretty much held true with the SC version is always like the reference style board so it means you could do stuff like custom waterblock on here if you wanted to water cool it in fact it even uses the same block as a GTX 1080 because it is the exact same PCB therefore yeah there's a lot of parts are going to be interchangeable in fact the only difference between this card in terms of aesthetics and the 1080 is this one says 70 on it but the clock speeds are not the same as founders as that this one is a base clock of 1594 it has got a boost clock of 1794 but in my testing here it actually boosted all the way up to eighteen hundred and eighty six megahertz so obviously went farther than that taking advantage of the additional cooling on here allowing GPU boost to push the clock even farther just like the 1080 it retains the single eight pin power connector on here and it is a single BIOS card so it is like I said a founder is pretty much on the way that it is constructed it follows that exact blueprint that sent over by Nvidia but some of the additional features that you'll find on here just like I'm gonna keep referencing the GTX 1080 it's literally the exact same cooler that they launched on the SC over there where it's got these aluminum accents on there it's got white LED lighting along the top right here that says EVGA geforce gtx 1070 it also has leds white leds on the front of the card that light up kind of giving a little bit of a glow effect because when it's in your cases pointed down like this it does kind of light up a little bit underneath it this is all you're really going to see right here once it's mounted in your case the backplate on the back is made out of aluminum it's a brushed aluminum it's going to pick up all your fingerprints if you touch it a lot which is why it kind of looks finger printing right now all over here one thing i find kind of kind of interesting is they've made the etching here for the logo face the right way when it's in your case and the EVGA cut out here faces the right women it's in your case it's not upside down but unfortunately the the sticker they place on here for like serial number and all that stuff is unfortunately upside down so if you needed to look at that for some reason you can happen to be contorting your neck a little bit or take the card out in terms of cooling it does a fantastic job now the founders edition cards with the founders cooler on there the 1070 did a lot better than the 1080 staying very very low and by low I mean upper 70s for a founders card that's actually really good with a blower style cooler because the 1070 just with it without having less cuda cores that are actually activated it generates a little bit less heat in there same thing holds true for the 1070 here with the AC X 3.0 it's got two ball bearing fans on here that are very very quiet and they're a sweat blade which is something they started with a CX 2.0 where it actually spins the blade kind of backwards so that it's more or less swooping the air and pushing it down rather than scooping the air and pushing it down which makes their be a little bit less choppiness to the sound of the cooler and we'll do a little clip of that so you guys can hear it it's why one of the reasons why I got the new mic so we can test the way the cooler sounds listen to the fans as well as coil whines we'll be covering that in this video right here but it's a fairly low decibel quiet cooler that keeps the GPU very very cool and that's also because it has a whole bunch of fins and heat pipes which is obviously kind of the norm now when it comes to coolers same basic output layout DVID HDMI 2.0 and then three DisplayPort one point force so you guys are going to have plenty of connectivity to things like HD TVs UHD TVs 4k TVs 4k monitors plenty of this blade ports you can run plenty of monitors off this guy and it's actually got enough power to be able to do even a basic like 1080 surround setup if you guys were interested in doing that but with all that said let's go ahead and jump right into the benchmark so you guys can see how it performs and then we'll go ahead and do our sound tests and come back with some final thoughts on this guy right here so this is the idol test you can see I have my microphone placed right here above the card and yeah it makes zero noise obviously because the fans aren't running so that's a good idea of ambient so you can see how ambient sound is okay so now we are starting up the heaven benchmark on 14:40 we're going to let it loop and we're going to listen for fan noise and for coil wine so the heaven benchmark is running right now at 1440p and the temperature is currently at 69 c and the fans are running about 25% fan speed and this is the noise level so the EVGA GTX 1070 superclocked a CX 3.0 I'm always going to say the whole name just because it cracks me up how long the names of some of these cards are you saw the benchmarks and as you can see at stock clocks and the way it boosts out of the box the founder's 1070 was like right there with the 980 TI and you know in between 980 TI and titan x this guy well behind 980 TI and right there with tight necks in the moment you overclock it and i was able to achieve 20 169 megahertz stable on this card at stock voltage yeah it pushed itself well beyond the tight necks at obviously a much lower price point thinking that maybe I got a golden lottery sample which made kind of rare lately with this actually have a second 1070 right here SC and this one was able to achieve 20 139 megahertz so still achieved magic 2100 mark on both of these cards with no problem whatsoever the reason why I have two is I also want to do some SLI benchmarks and we'll talk about that as well in another video but overclocking on both of these cards was a lot better than I actually thought it was going to be especially since my founders card really didn't push all that far I mean I went far but not as far as these guys and these are still founders boards so that's that's actually a really good thing just see how far that these went because the cooling could keep these in check to the frequencies didn't fluctuate nearly as much as I they do on the 1080 so that's a good thing but what we're going to do right now is I'm going to go ahead and put on my subjective pants if I actually wore pants I'm not wearing pants right now but that's why I only do from here up I can be completely butt-naked from the bottom down the mental image I just put in all of your guys's eyes I'm sorry at least you want to see it I do but I want to talk about pricing real quick because pricing right now is jacked up and what I mean by that Nvidia really kind of screwed things up by doing a dual tiered pricing plan where they want to charge a certain amount of money for their card and they do an MSRP for everyone else and the problem is no one is doing MSRP pricing on any of their cards that has any sort of custom touch to it what I mean by that is a ix 3.0 and to better cooler than founders it does a better job it's quieter and it gives you better overclocking Headroom and even better GPU boost Headroom because it can keep the card cool the problem with that is it's four hundred and thirty nine dollars and ninety nine cents right now not three hundred and seventy nine dollars or anywhere near that which is what people were really hoping to see the ten seventy come out for because that's a lot more affordable to many many people obviously if you think you have a better product you don't want to charge less for the product that you think it's better than if that makes sense it's better therefore you charge more now obviously when it comes to business 101 and supply and demand if a company can charge something and people will pay it therefore the pricing makes sense but so it's up to you to determine whether or not four hundred and thirty nine dollars first card is too much for you I can't answer that for you everyone's budget is different everyone's everyone's needs are different everyone's willingness to pay a certain amount is different so you have to determine that for yourself but I would like to see a gtx 1070 that exists around three hundred and seventy nine dollars and that's the card i would really like to get my hands on but right now that doesn't exist anyway guys hope you've enjoyed today's video hope you guys enjoyed the benchmarks not a whole lot to talk about with this one it's very very similar to the 1080 it's a founders card custom a CX 3.0 LED lighting for the wind models and up have RGB lighting in there that you can play with but overclocks like a beast both of them do and i'll be doing some sli videos coming up here in the future just kind of see how it does why not and yeah anyway with that say guys i'm linking on out of here thanks for watching i'm gonna go buy a vibe right now micro center near me has them in stock I'm actually gonna go get one I'm it's time I did buy because every time I do it I have fun and I don't get sick and I'm VR sensitive and I don't get sick with it so I don't know in project cars with vibe sounds like a whole lot of fun alright guys time to go thanks for watching get this video like if you like to give it dislike if you just don't like me or the content or the graphics card or you have hemorrhoids I don't know hey this like if you find a reason to and if you happen some across this channel to subscribe button is sitting there waiting for you to click it if you click it money and balloons will fall from the ceiling not really but maybe who knows alright guys I'm gonna get out of here that was a stupid joke as always I'll see you in the next one
