Galax GTX1070 EXOC Sniper Review - Will it be a Good Match for the R5-1600?

2017-04-06
so today we're going to take a look at galaxy's ex0 sea sniper which stands for extreme overclocking sniper and it's kind of weird since the grabbes card is all white and I don't think snipers wear a lot of white clothing unless they're in the snow so Galax are taking it to the next level for you guys so let's see if this graphics card is indeed next level welcome back to tokyo city this brand karma to you guys stay with a different kind of review not your typical gtx 1070 review and since this is sort of like a late release for a gtx 1070 I thought I'd do something really different this time and since the i5 CPU is going to hit the shelves very shortly I figured a lot of people will want to see how something like a simulated r5 will perform with the gtx 1070 so of course i'm going to be taking a look at how well this card over clocks and the temperatures and the features but first off i wanted to showcase how well this combination will perform and so we've got GTA 5 here which is the first benchmark i'm going to do since it is a pretty CPU intensive benchmark we feel you've got high settings across the board and it's looking really good like the picture on my 1440p ultra wide is just looking awesome and I'm even going to enable shadow play which dips the performance is quite a bit so we're going to jump in this mission this is driving through a lot of different traffic so there's a lot of stuff going on and I thought people might want to see how this combination performs since I'm pretty sure a lot of people are going to go out there and buy an r5 6 core and a B 350 and they're probably going to be looking for a mid-range graphics card like the GTX 1017 they're going to be like hey I'm a bowl and this is how my rig performs and so we see here the overclocks are really good already we're getting like 2.1 gigahertz and the temperatures are pretty low and this is on a custom fan profile so the Galax is performing pretty well but also the six core 12 threaded Rison is performing really well soon and we'll benchmark a few other games but I just wanted to show me driving through all this try pick now the next game we've got up here is Sniper Elite 4 which is a game based on just yes knifing things and being hidden in the shadows kind of thing you can do a bit of melee skirmish which I'll try and get onto but this is running at high settings again at 1440p ultra wide we see that's getting some really good frame rates not really clipping a hundred Hertz which is a more powerful grab squabbles ooh but definitely not bad for a gtx 1070 i mean it's really good this thing is running really smoothly i guess you can agree that this is a really good combination I'm just about to snipe this guy here boom headshot baby lack of bowls hey guys I'm over here colors blonde and sees the framerate to do okay what looks like some serious aim-assist there the gums just pointing down looks pretty cool good so yep Sniper Elite gtx 1070 and a simulated r56 core running really well so here's the next game here Ghost Recon wildlands now I've got this at 14:40 filter white again with the graphics settings set to medium and just on the medium preset and honestly the graphics look really good at medium I kind of don't understand what's going on with this game doesn't at medium it doesn't look a whole lot different to very high you see here the frames are on about 62 or 60 fps constantly and this is one of the most graphically demanding titles so I'll just wait for the boys to jump in the car here and then we'll go for a little spin and see how this graphics card performs even like during intense moments there was dipping down to around 50 something FPS so it's good doing pretty good I don't know this come on boys start firing the guns so see it's performing really well the CPUs handling it and the GPUs handling this game absolutely fine so the last game we've got here is Mirror's Edge catalyst which is kind of like a parkour game you can see here it's running the game a pretty decent frame rates over 60 FPS this is on high settings as well the visual quality looks absolutely amazing on the settings alright so we got our first fight here this guy's looking like he's ready for a little rumble I am bringing bring it on I'll leave this look at that go man see the Beast Oh so there it is guys the gtx 1070 EXO c sniper from gal axe and I think they've outdone themselves with this grave scar because what I've got here performed really well the over clocks are really good I got to like 2.1 gigahertz on the core there also the memory got an extra 350 megahertz on that and it all did this with really low temperatures I was getting 62 degrees temperatures maximum in heaven after a 30 minute benchmark with 26 degree ambient temperatures now keep in mind this was on a custom fan profile which did get a little bit noisier than the stock fan profile which was extremely quiet and the overclock fan profile the aggressive fan profile was still not that noisy at all as you probably heard with the previous noise test but even if you don't want to overclock at all this graphics card managed to get up to 2 gigahertz on the core out of the box so if you're not into overclocking and you want something that's really quiet and it's going to perform really well then this graphics card will do that and now looking on to the cosmedix of this cardem for this part of actually installed it in the back here and it looks really nice in a black and white theme builder if you want to go with a white and blue or white red theme build then this is where this card will really kick in because medics are really nice you've got the white shroud there and also the white backplate and then you've got the RGB LED lighting that doesn't have a rainbow effect but in the software you can change it to a static effect color of your choosing and so this will fit in really nicely with any white plus your favorite color theme to build those for the software itself it was pretty good though I still prefer to use afterburner personally though you will have to use the gallic software if you wish to change the colors of the RGB LED lighting which out of the factory comes with a white effect being a white graphics card and you can see it in the background here it does look pretty dank now for some last-minute things with this graphics card you do have three DisplayPort outs one DVI and one HDMI out to go with that for a total of five outputs and also the card itself requires an 8 plus 6 pin configuration therefore the PCIe connections and of course there's the price factor if you're in Australia this card comes in at around 569 Australian dollars or at least that's the cheapest I could find it for online which is actually only 20 AUD more expensive than the cheapest gtx 1070 out there so at that price it's actually a really good buy considering you go to cosmetics and the performance to go with this 1070 though if you're in America I think the cheapest I could find it for was four hundred and seventy USD so it is a fair bit more if you are in the US so if you are not then it's a really good buy for a 1070 and I can recommend it at its current prices though also if you are looking to buy an r5 CPU and coupled with the 1070 and I think today's results speak for themselves great combo I look forward to giving you guys a build with the parts that I used today or at least a simulated part and the other parts and without said I'm going to get on out of here guys so let me know in the comment section below what you think of the exo C sniper from gal axe I really like the look of this card I wish they had a 1080 TI variant of this because I would really want to put that in this workstation ASAP because I think it looks pretty good well at least it looks a lot better than the 1080 TI Exelero that I did the custom job so I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon peace out for now
