2018-02-24
hey what's up everybody glad to see you guys back here on the channel exciting stuff going on now you guys all know that the 1070 TI cards they're a really nice card heavily overclockable great for gaming now previously we brought you guys the unboxing of the zotac edition now this is their mini card ins otech claims it'll fit at 99% of the systems out there deal with size so that's pretty cool so if you want to see the unboxing we'll have a link down below but for those of you who have never seen the card before I will go over some of the specs so right off the bat you guys can see the card has a two fan design on the front very simple on the back we have a very nice backplate knock on that bad boy I love back plates you know so some of the basic features though this card has 2432 cuda cores inside of it it features eight gigabytes of gddr5 memory running at 8 gigahertz this card has a base clock speed of 1607 and a boost clock speed of 1600 and 83 so all in all it's a really nice card meant for gaming some of the other features of this card are just the basic stuff that NVIDIA has you guys all know that Invidia is their g-sync and for the fans out that I don't know bore you guys to that I know that you guys know all the stuff on the side of team green now another cool thing about this card it only requires a single 8 pin power connector this card can also be SL ID there are two sli fingers right here on the top of the card right here so if you're looking to do in that cell light system this will do it without problems at all so that's pretty much the card for those who wanted to see the rear i/o here it is it's the same pretty much i/o that every card has out there now only a few cards are very different they're all pretty much standard now so real quick let's check out our test system and then let's check out all the scoring we do 10.1% lows and 1080 we have overclocking everything that you guys have asked for including actual filming of the in-game testing along with a feud benchmarks but pretty much everything that you guys have asked for in a card we're gonna have a heat when overclocked mode and in standard mode and pretty much everything you've been looking for so let's check out our test system and then let's check out all the different scores for those of you who want to see the whole build on our test system we'll have a link down below to that as well now for the motherboard we're using the EVGA z 370 FTW for the cpu we're using an Intel i7 8700 K we're also using 16 gigabytes of Patriot VIPRE elite memory set at 3200 megahertz our boot drive is the corsair 480 gigabyte Neutron and for the hard drive we're using a 2 terabyte Seagate Fire CUDA and powering up this system is the EVGA supernova at 750 watts we're also using the latest edition of Windows 10 with the anniversary edition and all the latest drivers available at the time of testing the card size is in at 8.3 inches by 4 point 9 inches by 1.4 inches which is basically just saying it's a 2 slot design another thing to take note this card only requires a 180 watts of power to power the card now real quick before we get into all the testing all that stuff you folks asked in the past that we actually film the screen footage of the testing so for all of the 4k footage we did that we did 10 games and the 1080p scores will be embedded in that film so you can see them as well then after that we're going to jump into the overclocking scores and then the 1.1% lows and what the 1.1% lows are they're pretty much showing where the card drops out and is not giving you its full performance so let's jump in let's check it out now you guys know that a 1080i card it runs games most games anyways at 4k at about sixty frames per second you can see that this 1070 TI card is really just below that not much of a difference most of the games are running right at that level some games run it a little bit less but most games are still hitting that mark and overall you guys can see even with the standard clocks out of the box that this car performs very very well okay so those are the standard scores you can see this card does very well like I said we were showing that now next up is the overclocking we used MSI's afterburner obviously these guys have their own firestorm we're just more used to using the afterburner software I think that most of the gamers out there actually prefer that sorry if I stepped on any toes there but we just all prefer it now like we said the base clock speed in this car was a certain thing we were seeing about 1911 as the average clock that we were seeing in the boost but with our overclocking results we were able to boost this all the way up to 20 88 that's right 2000 88 megahertz above 1911 so that's a pretty damn incredible overclock now as far as the memory overclocking goes we were also very successful 4011 is the standard memory clock but we were able to add four hundred and seventy-five megahertz for a memory clock speed of four thousand four hundred eighty-two which is just really nice so as far as the overclocking goes honestly this car is pretty much it seems like right out of the box built for overclocking because these are some really nice scores another thing is that the card under normal load was getting about 67 degrees Celsius as far as the heat goes and about 71 when overclocked but this is completely with the fan on auto mode if we turn the fans on to full blast those numbers drop significant down to about 59 that's right 59 from 71 just with the fans and full blast it's just it's just so loud I was like okay turn the fans downs but if you're who wears headphones this isn't going to matter to you one bit you can overclock the crap out of this card and be in your headphones own and just totally ignore it but now let's check out the difference in scoring between the standard clock and overclocked scores and I think that you're going to be pretty amazed so let's jump in now obviously not every game takes two overclocking and you can see that from the scores but the minimum that we were seeing was four to ten frames per second and on some games even 20 frames per second could be seen you know and that's an incredible overclock farcry is one of these games it actually gained 20 frames per second just from being overclocked so that's a really good thing now as well as these overclocked scores you guys can see that we've also included the 1.1% lows and honestly this card does very well it was pretty much consistent overclocked as a standard card and that's really good a lot of cards you see in the market drop out a lot giving you guys poor performance in a lot of areas but this card pretty much across the board stayed solid alright folks so here's my conclusion honestly I want you guys to just take this with kind of a grain of salt right now video card prices are just a ripoff across the board I was kind of even hesitant to bring a video card you know review to the table cuz I was like oh man people are gonna just be pissed off because the cheapest that we could find this card was like 800 dollars and this card's just not an $800 card me let's just face it at natt I even if had a rocket engine attached and was made with plated gold wouldn't really be worth $800 so all the cards out there are overpriced now is that a direct result of anything to do with ZOTAC scarred absolutely not at the end of the day this card kicks ass that's all there is to it I really can't find anything to go oh my god I want to just punch this so people would be like oh there's something to say but honestly the card is well made it has an excellent backplate all the cooling apparatus that you guys have seen the card does an excellent job of keeping this card cool obviously if you turn the fans on the full blast it's going to be loud and lawnmowers let's just face it I mean if some obviously there's going to be some sound involved now maybe in the future they can get some really expensive fans like you know some of those Corsair fans they on the l-series that are SuperDuper quiet and it would change things but for now when you turn up full blast it's a little bit loud the card overclocks absolutely great you guys saw those numbers in the 1.1% lows of card hounds itself very well so at the end of the day beyond all the price increasing and all that crap that's going on this is a definitely an editor's choice card and worth having if you could get one if prices were normal on the market right now I could wholeheartedly say go out and buy this card and you won't be disappointed with it and eight hundred bucks I'm looking at an onliner shaking my head no frakkin way but like I said before man that's not the fault of ZOTAC so Tech has made a good product the market supply and demand and all that crap not their responsibility we know who's responsible for that miners I mamas anything you know like more than that but honestly it's not only their fault somewhere along the line somehow though they need to start making more cards so that these cards get back to a standard price level because the way things are right now cards are just overpriced but at the end of the day if they were normal priced I would definitely advise buying a card recommend this card and even buy it for myself so I'm Network you guys been watching Tekken tomorrow if for some reason you have to have a video card right now we'll have a link down below where you guys can check some out I believe this card goes all the way up to like 1,100 freaking dollars $1,100 for 1070
