what's up guys Jays $0.02 here and I think most people are getting a little bit burnt out on the whole coverage of GTX 1080 and although it is a fantastic card that gets only better with a DIN card manufacturers like MSI gigabyte EVGA most people can't afford a $600 graphics card that is a pretty high premium regardless of the value of the card so when it comes to value just like the GTX 970 everyone wants to know more about the gtx 1070 and that's exactly what we're going to talk about today 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 really doesn't need to be that long in fact the 1070 here is just a shaved down version of the GTX 1080 instead of 20 560 CUDA cores found here in the 1080 it's got nineteen hundred and twenty it's kind of funny the amount of jokes have been going around about 1920 and 1080 it's like some weird number I want it makes me wonder if they actually intentionally shave down the numbers so that they worked out that way but regardless I digress 6.5 teraflops of compute power in this little guy right here yeah 256-bit memory bus eight gigabytes of gddr5 it's not the gddr5 X but gddr5 1500 and six megahertz base clock 1683 megahertz boost clock running on the same GP 104 pascal 16 nanometer FinFET core that we saw on the GTX 1080 so it is quite literally just a shaved down version now just like the 970 and the 980 when those launched back in September of 2014 all of the hype was around the value of the GTX 970 and that really hasn't changed when it comes to the gtx 1070 either now the MSRP is three hundred and seventy nine dollars for the add-in card pricing and the founders Edition which I'm holding here coming in at four hundred and forty nine which as you've seen with GTX 1080 you are going to see the board partner cards coming in obviously cheaper than founders I would expect sweet spots to be right around $399 now although that is more expensive than you were seeing with the GTX 970 the amount of performance that you're getting on this is pretty damn insane so rather than sit here and show you any more unnecessary b-roll that really serves as nothing more than a way to cover up my face so you guys don't throw up while watching this review let's go ahead and get right in to the benchmark numbers so what you're seeing right here is a one-hour looping benchmark of heaven running with extreme tessellation 1440p 8 X multi sampling and everything pushed as high as it would go and what we were looking for here was to see how GPU boost responded to the 1070 in normal conditions some people got mad that I turned the air conditioner off in my 1080 test so the room was actually just as it would be day to day I was editing over there on skunkworks this went for an hour air conditioner was on normal thing to ambient temp in this room because of the temperature of the GPU rose to about 79 degrees Fahrenheit almost 80 degrees Fahrenheit was pretty warm in this room this these were the results and the reason why I'm showing this is obviously everyone was talking about GTX 1080 and was it thermal throttling now let's talk about this for a minute here I think a lot of people forget on what GPU boost really is now the only clocks you are guaranteed to get with an Nvidia card is the base clock not the idle clock if you 140 megahertz whatever it is but the base clock being what it ramps up to when it sees a 3d load and in this case that being 1500 and six megahertz it's actually represented right here in green as the minimum value that's the clock you're guaranteed to get anything above that is GPU boost working by dynamically monitoring things like power limit and temperature limit to see hey do we have more Headroom here are we just sitting here you know floating downstream or can we actually you know turn this bitch up and get some more power so we went all the way up to 1835 when the card was cool before we actually saw us bumping against the upper limit of the temperature limit once we hit the temperature limit of 82 which is the way it ships out of the box and you're going to hit 82 or the reference cooler I guarantee it we saw the core clock come all the way back down to 1721 now that's a great number and the reason why I say that is the boost clock on this card is sixteen hundred and eighty-three so we are what forty eight megahertz faster than the boost clock while bumped up against the temperature limit although people will argue eight and twos too hot the fan wasn't running fast enough the fact that it was still able to achieve a faster than boost clock while at the temperature limit to me is actually pretty impressive now if we were to see this core clock come back down below the 1506 mark then we would see what's known as thermal throttling where it's actually trying to save itself from dying because it's getting too hot so even if it came down below the booze clock but was faster than the base clock GPU boost is still a benefit and it's actually working other reason why I mentioned this has nothing to do with defending Nvidia it's just I feel like since the 600 series when we first saw GPU boost one launch a lot of people have actually forgotten how GPU boost works and just because the frequency is dynamically controlling itself doesn't mean it's thermal throttling but anything above the base clock within the boost range is actually considered GPU boost which is just dynamic self overclocking and a lot of people seem to have forgotten that so that's why I went ahead and showed this I did an hour-long test here's the graph make of it as you will and that's pretty much all she wrote about that the 1070 with the reference cooler which is notorious obviously for being the hottest coolers on the market actually did a really good job at keeping the core clocks exactly where they needed to be for a great gaming experience all right with all that said what happens when you actually push the limits of the card especially with the reference cooler on their core voltage is at plus 100 millivolts we've got a power limit of 112 percent which is where they that one thing to note this is 112 where the 1/8 or the 1080 was 120 and we're doing a plus 175 on the core and a plus 500 on the memory so I want to see exactly how well this thing will perform obviously on the first test I showed you guys we hit 80 to see with everything out of the box so pushing up voltage and frequency is obviously going to increase the temperature so to combat that I'm actually going to set the fan at I'm gonna set it at 90 I'm sure my lab mics picking it up let's go ahead and see what our frequency is jumping up to and then we'll do a little bit of live gaming here to see how the 1070 does with doom I don't have a benchmark suite setup with doom because it cloud saves and it's really hard to actually get a consistent test going and do and does have a built-in benchmark or anything like that so I figured live gameplay would be the best way to do it all right so we're sitting here at two thousand and fifty megahertz jumping down to 2025 so it is dynamically controlling a little bit fan at 90 percent GPU is at 170 or 107 percent load but on overclocking I achieved in we're between 2050 megahertz and 1987 megahertz which is pretty damn impressive for the 1070 considering it starts at 1500 and seven so we saw over 500 megahertz overclock that is that's pretty concerti percent right there that's a 30 percent overclock that's a pretty big deal but again even though this is not gddr5 X it's just g5 is they're calling it now good I guess GDR is too hard to say plus 500 on the memory so again 11,000 effective on the memory that's actually a pretty big deal so what we're going to do now is I'm going to go ahead here I'm going to load up doom and it will just do some live gameplay and then we'll come back with some final BOTS so we're running 4k again I want to do 4k testing here vertical sync is off you can see the fraps counter there I'll have to tell you what the OSD is showing that's just way too small to see anti-aliasing I've set to SMA a fortunately in 4k you don't need a lot of post-processing when it comes to anti-aliasing so on the events tab here I'm just going to go with the ultra preset I'm not going to do the nightmare settings because I've maybe will test it just to see what happens but for the initial test here we're going to do ultra but what we're looking for here is to see how the FPS does in 4k here obviously with a gtx 1070 so right off the bat you can see we're sitting here about the 50 FPS mark sorry about there being no sound I have no speakers hooked up even though they're sitting right there I found a secret Wow I've been looking for this thing Wow I almost walked off into the world I'm so bad at this game oh hello keys whoops you know it's interesting is even though the FPS is below 60 I'm not feeling it too much it doesn't feel terrible well we went all the way down to the 30s here on this scene core clock is sitting at nineteen seventy four 22 2012 1987 whoo double barrel this was like the awesome gun in the original doom in the double-barrel shotgun everyone loved some double barrel action alright so I'm going to go back down to 1440p Wow you can see the FPS obviously jumped up quite a bit oh geez what is this guy oh hell that guy's huge so this was that gameplay you just saw all of the testing there this is about twenty minutes worth you can see right here we stayed well over two thousand pretty much through all of it drop down to the high 1900s 1974 1949 looks like 1949 was the lowest it hit for just a moment there but yeah it stays really consistent and our max temperature we achieved was 77 right there towards the end 77 so yeah that's not too bad considering it's a under $400 card from the board partner so it's going to get you 4k performance most people don't have $700 to spend on a graphics card like the GT X 1080 but that's why the 70 series cards and the gtx 1070 is a fantastic value like I said this card the Founders card is four hundred and forty nine dollars expect to see them under $400 when the board partners launch and you're going to get an amazing gaming card like you just saw capable of 4k gaming fairly stutter free yeah it went anywhere between 35 to 55 but that 35 was only for a moment I didn't I'm an FPS snob and I didn't perceive any sort of stuttering or terrible gameplay but most people also aren't gaming at 4k 1440p is only really starting to become affordable and as you saw we achieved well over 60 FPS at 1440p with ultra presets in doom so that's a very very I think that's great for the gaming community more gamers are going to be able to start experiencing better settings in their games without having to literally take out a mortgage to afford any of these gaming components now obviously when the board partner cards come out we're going to see better thermals better noise and hopefully better clocks although I'm telling you now the founders cards I have overclocked very well I don't think they're cherry picked by Nvidia I think they're just I think they just perform very well but obviously we're now starting to see custom boards available here for the 1080 and we will see those for the 1070 giving us better thermals better acoustics and hopefully better overclocking so you're going to see this guy here very soon this is the 1080 gaming x 8g when putting this thing through its paces and seeing exactly how it performs it has an extra power connector so we're going to see does that extra power connector actually get you better performance what you guys have to wait for the next video to see that anyway guys thanks for watching as always I will see you in the next video
