so three months ago when I headed over to Thailand to cover the galaxy OSI event which was an awesome event by the way GALEX hinted at a new Hall of Fame gravis card being released in the first quarter of 2008 een many of us sim myself included thought that was a hint at the new Volta gaming gravis cards but as fate would have it it was actually referring to the 1070 TI hall of fame so here this card is and let's put it on the test bench and see what it can do welcome back to tech yet City this brand coming to you guys today with a review of this awesome card right here this is the 1070 TI Hall of Fame now it is a 2.5 slot cooler so it is absolutely massive and you do have to be careful what case you're mounting it into it just fit in my Corsair 740 case so it comes in at around 31 centimeters long has a back plate as well steel backplate got two sections of our GP lighting Hall of Fame on the side and a Hall of Fame on the top which you can change the RGB lighting itself in the software also weighs in at one point three kilograms has three fans as well and they do a phenomenal job of cooling though of course I'm sure you came here to see the benchmarks so let's get on with those so now when it comes to gaming in the 1070 I as you've seen in those results it does fit in between the 1070 and the 1080 coming very close to the 1080 in a lot of cases this graphics card here what makes it so special however is the noise when you were gaming you can overclock this thing and even leave the fan on the stock profile and you'll get amazing temperatures I was measuring up to 66 degrees of course though in those temperature tests we did adjust them for the deltas for those cards that I previously tested in the past which were tested at 25 degree ambient temperatures so Delta wise the noise is impressive the overclocks are impressive and of course on the back of the card you get the switch as well the switch the missile-launch button what this will do is put your fans on a hundred percent and it will just be an easy to use option especially if you're a crypto minor as well but with that aside let's take a quick listen to the noise so what we saw those tests was two different things if you're a gamer and you are OCD about noise you can keep the noise down and extremely quiet and still game and still get really good performance out of this graphics card though if you are OCD about temperatures then you can just turn the fan profile up to max with that button and you'll get some of the best and actually I think this is actually the best temperatures I've seen out of a graphics card out of the box of course you can put aftermarket coolers on but they will perform very similar to this one this is a really good cooling solution out of the box extremely impressive with the whole thing it's what makes this thing absolutely beast tastic if that's a word but comparing it side by side with the 1080 GTX 10 atti from gal axe their standard edition this thing just trumps it in size and this is a 1070 TI so yes the 1080 Ti is more powerful but that shows you what the Hall of Fame can do why it's such a powerful graphics card though of course as much as I'm impressed by the 1070 TI Hall of Fame they do come at a premium especially even over galaxy's own 1070 TI graphics cards I'm told this is commanding an extra $50 MSRP Oh a US over that standard edition though of course after seeing this card and seeing what it can do and especially making it in the league of its own especially in terms of overclocking and the noise profiles I would gladly pay that as a consumer over the standard 1070 TI it is one phenomenal card and also another thing that makes this graphics card really damn good is the mining benchmarks now I know some people out there not gonna like the fact that I'm covering mining but in some of the previous videos I am in that in-between I am a gamer and a miner personally it's actually the best performance I've seen for a graphics card in terms of crypto currencies as if Galax have basically optimized this graphics card for cryptocurrency mining at least on a qui hash so with 0.3 dot for a wbf miner we saw performance that was really impressive when I overclocked this thing 190 watts total system draw from the wall we're getting around 520 souls which is extremely impressed this was with the latest drivers from Nvidia the three 90.7 seven they also made a slight difference compared to the previous drivers I have my computer so if you are into mining echo hash you'll probably want to update to the latest drivers from Nvidia though on that note as well the performance when I did do a sweet spot clock which I'm used to doing especially on a 1080 TR or 1080 with mining this card here didn't really perform that well I mean I dropped the TDP limit up the memory down the clock a bit and we're getting around 470 souls and we're draining about a hundred and eighty Watts consistently from the wall out of the box however were getting around 450 souls and that was hovering between 170 and 200 watts so it was inconsistent so if anything if you are getting this graphs card you will want to manually set especially the fan speeds up to a hundred percent and even lock in a sweet spot overclock for this thing so in this case it's a rare exception but if you were into mining I would recommend overclocking this graphics card which is weird because all the other cards I've had through here I would not recommend but for the extra watts for the actual performance you're getting it's highly recommended this is a very enigmatic graphics card to say the least and keep in mind I do not have aircon in this studio here at the moment it's very hot it's summer you may even be able to see a little bit of sweat coming off me during this review so ultimately when it comes down to the 1070 TI Hall of Fame is a card that is equipped for gamers and also miners I'm not gonna sit here and beat around the bush and tell you it's better for one and the other it's actually well equipped for both different markets of course the cryptocurrency mining boom pretty much making these things out of stock everywhere I will update the description when these things are back in stock for you guys and let you know where you can get one of these cards from so now looking at those gaming benchmarks a little bit more in depth you can see a 1080p on basically max settings on every game this grab is card handle all those games is over 100 FPS so if you're into high refresh rate gaming and you like your graphics settings really high this car will deliver I think pop G was the only game that got just slightly under a hundred FPS average on max settings keep in mind you can turn the settings down to high and you'll get an absolutely phenomenal experience even at 2k if we step it up to 4k this card can handle some games of course some games it can't handle at 60fps but I don't think you'd be going for this card for 4k gaming even though if you turned it down to medium or high settings you'd still get 60fps but there we have it guys this is a card that does do very well when it comes to gaming performance and the last thing to touch on with the 1070 TI Hall of Fame is quite simply the build quality you get that of course 1.3 kilogram cooler as we mentioned before white and silver themed aesthetic you've also got RGB as well to match it to the build even though it comes with white LED lighting out of the box one DVI 3 display ports and one HDMI to point out on the rear of the card you've also got that missile launch button on the rear of the card which is very easy to control if you need fan speeds at your disposal you've also got a white PCB which is 12 layers and there's an 8 + three-phase power design to go with that eight phases dedicated to the GPU three-phase is dedicated to the memory - 8 pin connectors as well so this thing is designed to overclock extremely high and of course that air cooler is a phenomenal out of the box - so basically this is a graphics card that hits all the boxes and I'm gonna give this thing the yes seal of approval it impressed me that much if you get one of these grams cards you were going to be extremely impressed with it though do keep in mind as I said before if you are fitting this into a case 31 centimeters long before it fits into the case make sure you have the clearance or this graphics card if you wish to fit it into your current PC case anyway guys hope you enjoyed today's video if you did then be sure to hit that like button and let me know in the comments section below what you think of the 1070 TI Hall of Fame and I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon he's out for now bye
