@@emeraldcelestial1058 the 30 series is too segmented, and the cards have less VRAM than their AMD counterparts in an age where people game at higher resolutions and games are bigger. Then there's wonky stuff like the 3060 having more vram than the 3070 and 3080, and the 3050 being a joke that costs more than an RX 6600 while being much worse. I love my 3070 but this gen overall was a mess, with both nvidia and amd trying their best to capitalize on the chip shortage with dumb cards like the 3050, RX 6500/6400, and then the new 12 GB 3080 while people are still waiting for old orders to be fulfilled. Sadly I think all this stuff will hurt the legacy of the 30 series.
I maintain this opinion to this day. For the money, the time they came out and how long they stayed on top... The 1070 and 1080 are the best cards nvidia have ever made. They havent tried that hard, in years.
Whole range was brilliant my 1060 6GB was great value and used a tiny amount of power, half of the 770 2GB it replaced, and I can't remember a more powerful at it's time kind flagship card than the 1080ti. If I'd bought a 1070 or 1080 I'd be still happily using it, I'm only using a 2060S which is around 1080 level performance as it is.
Same, im so glad i bought it back in 2016, the one time i decided to sperg out on a pretty good PC (at the time). To this day i can still run any game with good fps and i have yet to turn a game to its absolute lowest settings.
Still remember the day it came out. It was an incredible upgrade compare to its predecessor GTX 970 and it got 8GB of VRAM on top of that. Still capable to this day and probably 2 or 3 years more. Sadly new NVDIA cards just don't offer the same upgrade as this anymore. Anything new just use more power rather than real technology improvement at this point.
With the exception of laptop gpu’s they use little power with big results my 2070 max q draws like 90w max and I play cyberpunk low 4k 55 fps average pretty good for a 90w card . However the heat it generates literally changed my room temperature and I have a big room lol
Dell have one of the biggest supply chain infrastructures of any computing company. They like to optimize everywhere. I'd imagine that they actually own their own printed circuit board facility and that facility uses the least number of different material possible. Every Dell PCB I've ever seen has been the exact same color. When you're dealing with billions of boards, using all exactly the same raw materials has to be a huge savings. A company that only deals with tens of thousands of boards at a time wont optimize down to the quarter penny, so board color doesn't mean as much.
Exactly, that PCB colour isn't a choice they're just buying in the most generic mass produced board to etch and mount. You save money all over, from the materials all the way to not having to employ someone to design aesthetics. When Dell sell a computer they are selling a box but when you buy a PCB that's what you're buying in it's entirety so the aesthetics become a selling point, to many a very important selling point.
I'm glad to see something other than a black PCB for a computer component tbh - they have become incredibly boring especially with motherboards with grey/white trim relying on RGB. I remember a time when Gigabyte had nice blue motherboards , MSI had red boards and Elite group (they now make NZXT branded boards) had distinctive purple ones.
@@tourmaline07 I also like colored PCBs, I like a lot the purple and white ones, but the color Dell uses is really ugly, they perform like trash and are loud and hot, also having a good looking PCB isn't bad, and while almost all the modern PCBs are black,grey or white, they allow for some really cool heatsinks, plastic shrouds and decoration.
The 1070 will forever stay one of my favourite cards together with the 970 and hd4870 tbh, i have bought mine last year and overpaid massively (£270 for a boxed evga card but the guy threw in a 6th gen i5 + board + ram for £30) and it was the best thing ive ever did as it got me into gaming after a break and only playing cs on potatos
@@Google_Does_Evil_Now naa, the card was 270 and the board, cpu n ram (was an 8gb ddr3 stick coz the mobo was sadly a ddr3 h110 i think) for another 30, flipped it as a build with a 970 legit the next day lmao and just flipped my 1070 in another build coz managed to get a 1080ti strix for 230
@@Google_Does_Evil_NowNo, thats straight up a rip off lmao. I can easily get a used rtx 2070 for €270 even though I live in a third world country shit hole. Europeans usually have better prices for GPU, no?

I had a 1070ti for a few years, upgraded to an EVGA 1080ti earlier this year once prices stated to fall purely because that card was gorgeous and wanted it. Still absolute beasts both of them, so much so the EVGA 3080 I found felt like less of an upgrade. Pascal/10 series best cards they've ever made price to performance looks etc
I can say the same for my 1070-3070 upgrade last week, sure the DLSS is good but I dont really need it at the minute seeing as im playing the same games at 2k that my 1070 could run and once you get past about 70 fps even on my 144hz monitor I dont really care much about the frames. The only way I can see it as an upgrade is when I play VR I can really push the headset to maximum quality now but I dont even get it out much. My GFs rig has a 1070 in still and I have my old spare one now, hopefully they work for years to come still and get supported longer than NVIDIA usually does.
Indeed, I think I paid 200 quid used in around 2018. I absolutely got my moneys worth, cant help but think I got a little scammed on my 3070 for 365 quid. I bet in a year thatl be half.
A couple weeks ago I had a customer contact me about a prebuilt CyberpowerPC computer they had bought online about a year ago that couldn't play any of the modern games they wanted to play smoothly at 1080P (some games he said wouldn't even load) so he had stopped using the PC altogether. Upon inspection, I learned the prebuilt had come with a GT 1030 2GB card, a single stick of 8GB 3000Mhz ram & a low-performing Ryzen processor. The client wanted to upgrade the computer to 32GB of ram, a minimum of an RTX 3060 & upgrade to the fastest Ryzen processor that would work for his machine. The problem came when his budget was limited to a maximum of $500 which became even more of a limitation when he also revealed that both the hard drives had failed (a 256GB SSD & a 1TB mechanical drive, the problem was traced to a faulty power supply as well as all the sata ports on the motherboard had died). Long story short, I upgraded the ram to 32GB of Corsair Vengence 3600Mhz, installed a 500GB NVME SSD, exchanged the power supply for a 750-watt Corsair bronze power supply & installed a Zotac GTX 1070 Ti mini 8GB card (I had to install Park Control to take care of the CPU bottleneck because the motherboard was bad for overclocking). I also upgraded the CPU cooler to a Vetroo V5 plus added a couple 120mm RGB case fans with an RGB fan controller. When I returned the computer to the client he was beyond happy to be able to compete at decent framerates at 1080P with the same computer that he had struggled to be able to even start some games just the day before (original work order for the computer was to just get it to boot which I did by installing the NVME then he wanted to fix the framerate issue). The GTX 1070 is still a very good GPU, I still have a GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 installed in my daughter's computer which competes pretty close to that of an RTX 3060.
Gonna chime in here too. I've had my Strix OC GTX 1070 for maybe 3 or 4 years now, and has been in my i5 4570 rig and now my current Ryzen 5 3600 build I made in 2020. Honestly cannot forsee upgrading it at any point in the near future. My case has enough airflow to keep it cool and it almost never gets near full utilisation anyway. Lasted longer than any GPU I've had before it and likely after it. 8GB of VRAM on a 2016 xx70 card is a godsend
only the 1080ti had a large vram buffer, the 1070 was just on the average for the time, and the 1060 ranged from pathetic to "a little below average". i guess you could count the 1050ti 4gb model as large even though it was only 4gb because it's low end though. and more than the 970gtx
The 1080ti is a totally op gpu for when it came out, too bad that nvidia learned that (in the bad way) and I doubt that we’ll see something like that again
I got a refurb 1070 in 2019 for only $200usd. It has served me well but I am hoping for an upgrade this winter. I've been spoiled by high refresh rates which is getting more difficult to push in newer titles such as Cyberpunk and Horizon: Zero Dawn. Great video! Keep it up.
I'm still using my GTX 1080 Ti, though it has started showing its age, it can throw punches at 1440p with little issues at high settings 60fps! Eventually I'll get a new GPU, but roughly 4 years, still going strong!
im still use my 1080ti for 3440x1440 and have no problem with any game, ok you cant play any game on utlra and 100fps+ but 60fps and high settings are no problem. Maybe i upgrade later to 4000 series when the price droped.
got a 1080ti years ago for 400 Euro. Put it on Water , Overclocked it and it still runs great till today and im on 2k Res! I wanted to buy a 3080 back then and now prob. the 40 series but since prices are up im super glad i can just wait it out :)
I got a 1070 ti for about £270 just as covid hit and just before the prices went through the roof. Excellent card which lasted me until last week when I replaced it with a 2070 super which I got for £250. I'm extremely pleased with this one.
I got my 1070 about 2018/19 for 200 quid, although upgraded to 3070 last week. I just cant help but feel the new series of cards wont hold their value like the 10 series did.
RX 580 8gb user here, happy with my 580, I'd say not too far from the 1070, I don't care for any frames higher than 60 since everything I play is single player. If I may suggest an idea, maybe make a video about upgrade paths for people with older cards, like from 570-570 or 1060 to something, from 1050 or 1050ti 1650, rx 560, gtx 970, etc, upgrades that won't break the bank.
I'm still rocking a 1050ti since I don't game too much anymore, and I've noticed these popping up for good prices, so this is a very relevant video for me. Just reading the comments, it seems like a good direction for me.
i have a used evga 1070 (from 1050ti) in my rig at 1440p, shit still really holds up well in 2022. pascal has got to be one of the most legendary architectures by nvidia ever
1060,1070 were the best cards for the general consumer. As well as a nod to the amd 470,570 even though I had problems trying to get them. Even the humble 1050ti for when it came out is the standard of what a 75 watt entry level GPU should be.
Yeah, I used to have a 1060 6GB 1 fan Zotac. Despite being the most budgety of budgety version it was a fantastic little card for the 3 years across 2 builds and 3 CPUS I used it with. Thing is with AMD's FSR rolling out all over and getting better these Pascal cards could be viable for years. If I still had one I'd not overclock it, I'd rather extend it's life.
I used mine for nearly 4 years and just bought the 3060 because of the VRAM (work stuff). Honestly, I'd still be using the 1070 if it wasn't for work; the performance is not that different if you ignore the DLSS possibility.
I bought an EVGA SC version of GTX 1070, in August of 2016. Kept it for 2 full years before I sell it and buy a GTX 1080Ti. I regret every second, selling this card cos it would be awesome in my girlfriend's PC (she is left with an RX 460). An extraordinary generation of GPUs, Pascal!
My mATX gaming PC has a Zotac GTX 1070 mini paired with a I7 7700K CPU. With high price on electricity in the EU and the current gen of CPUs and GPUs use a lot of power, I will still use my PC many years to come. I´m happy to get 60 FPS in 1080p medium settings in the games I play.
Just bought this card this year replacing my broken RX 470. Man, it is indeed a huge upgrade for me. Although I've been wanting RX 6600, but I got this 1070 instead since my budget was so strict. I got 83fps+ on Forza Horizon 5 with High/Low/Extreme mixed settings. The only setting that I set on Extreme is the World Level of Car Detail lol.
Still a good card mate, that 8 chip memory configuration will keep holding it up. I use a 2060S because 2.5 years ago my 1060 6GB started struggling, it came down to the 6 chip memory config so I switched to the S variant of the RTX 60 just to make sure I had the bus width, it's basically like a modernised 1080 with DLSS.
@@darthwiizius Wow. the 2060 super still got what it takes. How about the normal 2060? is it ok for me to buy that? since I want to give this 1070 to my lil' nephew. He is still rocking that 950 with 900p resolution since 2020.
I still own a GTX 1080ti and can play basically any game max settings at 1080p, I bought a GTX 1070 back when it released brand new for 449 and I was absolutely blown away by it's performance. Pascal jump in performance was insane and the GTX 1080ti was basically a whole generation ahead.
Haha your dog heard the word "play," didn't he? But yeah, I was slightly envious of my friends who bought the GTX 1070 back when they were new since I had *only* a GTX 1050 Ti. And to the best of my knowledge, they're STILL using their 1070s for 1080p gaming on modern titles like Elden Ring without any need to upgrade. Amazing. That may have been part of the reason why I got a gaming laptop with an RTX 3070 Ti... I wanted that NVIDIA xx70 experience, and I can be fairly confident that it'll still be kicking in the next 6 years.
I recently bought a used Msi Armor OC GTX 1070 for 150 euros and it's working great with my Ryzen 3 4300GE. I upgraded from a Vega 6 integrated graphics and oh boy is it an upgrade
i bought one from ebay won a bid on a EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Hybrid Gaming 8GB GPU to upgrade my old computer AMD FX series cpu am3 motherboard , had to create extra space for the rad/fan so far it plays pretty good for the day to day use and stays pretty cool
The 1070 was and always will be one of my favorite cards simply due to the fact that it was a great card at the time and was my first Nvidia card. Since then, I’ve yet to put another AMD card in my main PC. To my knowledge, that 1070 I got years ago is likely still running today because I haven’t heard any complaints from the person I sold it to.
The green lacquer is actually cheaper, and surprisingly more strong and reliable. Matt black finish is very easy to peel off and scratch despite fancy looks. So in OEM machines it's actually a good choice
In my personal rig I have a Gtx 1070 Armor from Msi, I bought it this year for my video and gaming editions at $150 dollars. It's an excellent graphic, it may be 6 years old, but it's still fighting, I'm not going to change it for a long time. Greetings from Argentina.
I had a Zotac 1070 Mini from 2017 until about 2021 and it was a brilliant card. Only problem was that it gets very loud on the fans. My PC would sometimes sound like an aeroplane taking off! 😂
1070 For $150 is the ultimate bargain now , also seeing good condition gtx 970s for $80 make both great budget options all day long , i was always a big fan of the pascal and Maxwell GPUS seems like after those generations NVidia went from greedy to ridiculously greedy
1070 should be had for $100 and 970 I wouldn't pay more than $50 for one. 900 series really should be avoided at all costs, no Gsync/Freesync support no 4k video decoder on board, higher power use. A 1060 3gb is the same price usually as the 970 and almost should always been picked over the 970. If you keep an eye on on OfferUp you can find some deals. Just bought these in the last month on Offerup. Asus Strix 1070 $100 Asus Strix 1070 $120 Asus Strix 1080 $90 Asus Strix 1080 $120 Gigabyte G1 1080 $120 They all work fine. 1 needed a middle fan replaced. And the RGB strips were bad on 3 of the 4 but that was $15 to repair all of them and $7.50 for the middle fan.
@@45eno The 900 series support G-Sync just fine on a monitor with a G-Sync module. Even Kepler cards do. The 970 also uses pretty much exactly the same amount of power as a 1070. For less performance obviously, but it's not like it's some monstrous energy-guzzling beast like an R9 290X or something.
@@CaptainKenwayI would bet most people shopping for 970/1060 tier card aren’t running official Gsync supported monitors. The 970 I just sold wouldn’t work on a LG 240hz 1080p or Acer 1080p 144hz. The 1060 worked great. Sure the power isn’t much but when you are weighing all the reasons to spend the extra $0-20 on a 1000 series over 900 series then it’s something to consider. You are also comparing the 1070 and 970 which are not the same performance tiers. 970/1060 3gb put out similar FPS. The decoder is nice for handling 4K clips on RUclips other wise the cpu runs much more just to watch modern day clips. They are the same price usually, I have owned both and 1060 3gb is my choice over 970 any day.
Especially with the 2070 and 3070. 6 years on STILL 8GB VRAM? BOOO NVIDIA! After 1070, the only cards of that generation that I would even consider an upgrade are 3060 12Gb, 3080ti 16GB and 3090. Everything else is just a toy. (I'm a CGI artist desperate for more VRAM when I'm not gaming and can't afford a QUADRO.)
I got my 1070 FE when everyone was dumping mining cards back in 2019 for $199. Fan was burnt out from high uptime but got another FE cooler for $10 and it worked great. Sold it earlier this year for $199, timing worked out rather nicely.
Maxwell upgrade from Kepler is a huge step in solving power hungry issue, and Pascal one more time did that with both Power efficiency and Performance. Imagine a GTX 1070 uses the same 8 pin and draws 150W TDP as GTX 970 but performance is nearly +70% faster, we can praise Pascal architecture for its greatness. Turing is not so impressive even with RTRT while a 2060 draws the same power with only +10% performance, cut off 2GB of VRAM
I know someone that has the MSI Seahawk 1070, a hybrid between air and water-cooling. It runs very cool. It's impressive to what most pascal cards can still do in modern games, truly a great generation of GPUs.
Still rocking a 1070ti with a 12700k/32gb ddr4. Spiderman remastered works just fine at 1080p 60fps lock and very high settings. Rarely dips low. The gpu is undervolted and overclocked
Still have a 1070 myself, don't see myself upgrading anytime soon. I have a pretty nice one variant as well, the Gainward Phoenix GS, overclocks really well and easily sits in the low 60s for temps with completely inaudible fans. Super happy with it. I'll probably still get another 2 years out of it before I start thinking of upgrading.
I still have my cheap ass KFA2 GTX 1070! Most games I play are indie or older AAA games and run them at mid to high at 1440p no problem. I swear I picked that baby up for a price where it legit felt like pocket change. It was like 200€ or something like that and it's one of the best purchases I ever made. Absolute no brainer
I literally just bought a gtx 1080ti 4 days ago and it plays everything I want to play at maxed or almost maxed framerates. The "old" 10 series is still doing good for their age.
Bought mine brand new in 2019. Snow white ASUS Dual w latest firmware from the sealed box. It even capable of higher frame rates for my new 165 hz monitor. Love it
I just bought a EVGA 1070 FTW Hybrid from my friend for $150 and I love it, I'll probably want to upgrade it in a few years but for being my first GPU in my first Gaming PC I'm so happy with it because I've wanted a gaming PC my whole life and it runs the games I want to play very well
Just bought a used 1070 for around 160€ (Germany here) as an upgrade for my photo editing rig. More than happy with the performance. Seems like I could also use it as a decent replacement should the GPU in my gaming rig decide to stop working :D
I only recently upgraded to a 3070. Simply because some games were starting to struggle to reach 60fps on high, which is the bare minimum I want. But the 1070 is one I will forever remember.
Green PCB is the cheapest to make. The color is due to the polymer compound that covers the PCB, basically solder mask. Green is simply the cheapest, along with brown. Black and other colors cost extra, so when they want to make a board with no frills you'll often see green. Probably only a few cents per unit in cost difference, but when you make thousands or millions of them it adds up.
recently swapped mine out for a 3070 as the 1070 was struggling with vr titles. if i wasnt in vr so often i would have never switched, the 1070 is an amazing card for desktop performance
I upgraded from a 1060 to a 1070 earlier this year when the cards became cheaper, I got it because my 1060 was struggling at 4K and the 1070 really pushes above its own class. I can't think of a game which I can't run at 60 fps other than Hunt showdown. It's really easy to play games at 4K if you just take a moment to turn down the unoptimized settings which bog down even high-end cards, i.e. Ambient occlusion. It's also well-suited for GPU inference tasks thanks to the 8gb of VRAM, making it a cheap offer for decent AI workloads.
I've had a 1070 AMP Extreme from Zotac, basically a cheaper 1070 Ti thanks to the OC made by a producer. I had a lot of fun because this GPU could run anything and didn't even sweat. Now it sits in my buddy PC still running fine while I've got 1080 Ti for myself with a water block. Pascals are the best GPU series made by Nvidia so far. They are comparable with the 20 and 30 series and sometimes they are slightly better.
The 1070 and 1080Ti are both great cards from history, but lets not get carried away... the 1080Ti now just trades blows with a 3060... the rest of the 30-series is far better. This is not a knock on the 1080Ti... lets just not exaggerate too much! ;-)
@@wolfshanze5980 I have to disagree. The 1080 Ti is about 25-30% better than the 3060. This Ampere is castrated out of performance and 12 gigs of VRAM is a marketing trick for those who don't know much about GPU. A 192-bit memory bus with this amount of VRAM is a shame nowadays. Of course, someone can say "It has more FPS in game A" and that's totally fine but just as one swallow does not make a summer, neither does one or two games where 3060 is better. When comparing graphics cards, we should not focus on the very aspect of gaming, but also look at the overall design, performance of individual elements, etc. It should also be remembered that Nvidia cuts the performance of older chips when releasing new drivers so that new cards could always perform better than the old ones. Speaking of new ones let's take 3060 Ti on the bench. It's far better than 3060 with just 8 gigs of VRAM but yet 5-10% worse than 1080Ti. However this 5-10 % is not enough to make a big difference in gaming itself but as I mentioned above, we shouldn't only focus on the very aspect of gaming. I would rather say that 1080Ti is trading blows with 3070 than with 3060.
150W TDP is impressive even today considering the age of the product and the performance. Mid range card power draw is alarmingly creeping up and that's no bueno with the energy prices.
As somebody who just sold his old 1060 to a family needing for a mid range card, the 1070 is also a great choice if you stick to 1080p medium. In some PS4 era games it can even go all the way to high
From what I understand it's green because that's the colour of the plastic after it's produced. It's not dyed so it is ever so cheaper. That's why green PCB's are super common in lots of cheap electronics or cheap Chinese hardware a lot of the time.
I got a GTX 1070 back in 2016, the Palit Jetstream model. And it still holds up as the GPU in my main PC. Yes, there are stronger cards out there these days but thanks to its 8GB of VRAM and the rather strong performance back in its day it's still okay even now and it can handle any game you throw at it. I might upgrade it with the upcoming generation of GPUs but only to keep it alive in my secondary system, in which an older GTX 960 is slowly starting to die. The 1070 is actually not too far behind the 3050's performance, just lacking ray tracing and DLSS. FSR can work for the 1070 though.
1070 strixx here after 5 years I do not feel I should change. My config was 1500EUR and I only bought +1 fan and more ssd/hdd. Perfectly balanced, as it should be...
I ran two 1070s in SLI up until a year or so ago when I gave the secondary card to a buddy who wanted to get into PC but couldn't afford a GPU. Still a phenomenal card, though I'll probably be replacing mine soon, since it doesn't handle DCS in VR at playable FPS.
3 years ago when I bought the 2070 super it is a 1440p card and the advice from reddit saying that was overkill for 1080p but now post processing graphics gets more demanding over the years and look here now 1080p high/ultra is capable for cards more than a 3 years old especially with the 1070 variant. Imagine that!
I recently got the opportunity to (finally) build a gaming pc after my friend sold the old parts to his old and barely used rig. This Dell version came with it and for the buck i swear this series has to be the best nvidia has ever done. Although it doesnt handle dlss or rtx it damn near gets very close on it. Ill probably replace it in a few months since the market is good and its a five year old card- but still. Great card.
Main reason Pascal was relevant for this long is that the PS4/Xone era lasted for quite a while and it kept games's requirements low enough that a 1070 or even a 1060 would be able to play anything at 1080p60. I have the feeling the 20 series will be relevant for longer, but maybe not at 1440p.
I'm still rocking my 1070 and it's still going hard you can pick them up for like $150 US rn because mining is no longer profitable on them if you are looking to buy a graphics card right now it is a great choice you can play any game with decent settings at a good frame rate
My 1070 GTX is still chugging along in my ASUS GD30ci pre-built. Upgraded to a 4K monitor and framerates are hovering between 40 and 60 in World of Warcraft with all settings cranked to max but with AA turned off.
Pascal is probably the greatest generation of GPUs that Nvidia has ever made. They're still relevant and packing a punch even 5-6 years later.
definitely the first gen to reach legend status. imo the 30 series is great but availability was a bitch so that meant pricing was.
maxwell was also pretty good and still is pretty good
Still rockin a 1080TI to this day!

If I'd bought a 1070 or 1080 I'd be still happily using it, I'm only using a 2060S which is around 1080 level performance as it is.
What do you mean? The 3080 and 3090 play games at 4k with over 100fps. I'd say they'll stay more relevant than the pascal counterparts.

Same here I bought the 1070 in 2019 for $110, the asus dual OC model, a very good gpu and now with fsr2.0 it has much more time to live.
Still remember the day it came out. It was an incredible upgrade compare to its predecessor GTX 970 and it got 8GB of VRAM on top of that. Still capable to this day and probably 2 or 3 years more. Sadly new NVDIA cards just don't offer the same upgrade as this anymore. Anything new just use more power rather than real technology improvement at this point.

Dell have one of the biggest supply chain infrastructures of any computing company. They like to optimize everywhere. I'd imagine that they actually own their own printed circuit board facility and that facility uses the least number of different material possible. Every Dell PCB I've ever seen has been the exact same color. When you're dealing with billions of boards, using all exactly the same raw materials has to be a huge savings. A company that only deals with tens of thousands of boards at a time wont optimize down to the quarter penny, so board color doesn't mean as much.
If they release a 3080 I'm buying.
Exactly, that PCB colour isn't a choice they're just buying in the most generic mass produced board to etch and mount. You save money all over, from the materials all the way to not having to employ someone to design aesthetics. When Dell sell a computer they are selling a box but when you buy a PCB that's what you're buying in it's entirety so the aesthetics become a selling point, to many a very important selling point.
@@LSK2K Why? They have custom RTX 3080's in some prebuilds and they're literally the worst model of 3080,
I'm glad to see something other than a black PCB for a computer component tbh - they have become incredibly boring especially with motherboards with grey/white trim relying on RGB.
I remember a time when Gigabyte had nice blue motherboards , MSI had red boards and Elite group (they now make NZXT branded boards) had distinctive purple ones.
@@tourmaline07 I also like colored PCBs, I like a lot the purple and white ones, but the color Dell uses is really ugly, they perform like trash and are loud and hot, also having a good looking PCB isn't bad, and while almost all the modern PCBs are black,grey or white, they allow for some really cool heatsinks, plastic shrouds and decoration.
The 1070 will forever stay one of my favourite cards together with the 970 and hd4870 tbh, i have bought mine last year and overpaid massively (£270 for a boxed evga card but the guy threw in a 6th gen i5 + board + ram for £30) and it was the best thing ive ever did as it got me into gaming after a break and only playing cs on potatos
You got all that for £270? That's a bargain! A fully working gaming PC.

Still absolute beasts both of them, so much so the EVGA 3080 I found felt like less of an upgrade. Pascal/10 series best cards they've ever made price to performance looks etc
I can say the same for my 1070-3070 upgrade last week, sure the DLSS is good but I dont really need it at the minute seeing as im playing the same games at 2k that my 1070 could run and once you get past about 70 fps even on my 144hz monitor I dont really care much about the frames. The only way I can see it as an upgrade is when I play VR I can really push the headset to maximum quality now but I dont even get it out much.
My GFs rig has a 1070 in still and I have my old spare one now, hopefully they work for years to come still and get supported longer than NVIDIA usually does.
Bought my MSI GTX1070 Armor for 130$ 3 years ago, still does the job for my needs @1080p75hz. It's silent, cool, overclocks and undervolts nicely.
The 1070 easily had the widest use and longest ‘life’ than any other GPU in history.
It was a great value then, and still a great value now.
nah thats the 1080 TI buddy
This card has aged incredibly well. Anyone who bought one of these back in 2016 hit the jackpot.
Indeed, I think I paid 200 quid used in around 2018. I absolutely got my moneys worth, cant help but think I got a little scammed on my 3070 for 365 quid. I bet in a year thatl be half.
A couple weeks ago I had a customer contact me about a prebuilt CyberpowerPC computer they had bought online about a year ago that couldn't play any of the modern games they wanted to play smoothly at 1080P (some games he said wouldn't even load) so he had stopped using the PC altogether. Upon inspection, I learned the prebuilt had come with a GT 1030 2GB card, a single stick of 8GB 3000Mhz ram & a low-performing Ryzen processor. The client wanted to upgrade the computer to 32GB of ram, a minimum of an RTX 3060 & upgrade to the fastest Ryzen processor that would work for his machine. The problem came when his budget was limited to a maximum of $500 which became even more of a limitation when he also revealed that both the hard drives had failed (a 256GB SSD & a 1TB mechanical drive, the problem was traced to a faulty power supply as well as all the sata ports on the motherboard had died). Long story short, I upgraded the ram to 32GB of Corsair Vengence 3600Mhz, installed a 500GB NVME SSD, exchanged the power supply for a 750-watt Corsair bronze power supply & installed a Zotac GTX 1070 Ti mini 8GB card (I had to install Park Control to take care of the CPU bottleneck because the motherboard was bad for overclocking). I also upgraded the CPU cooler to a Vetroo V5 plus added a couple 120mm RGB case fans with an RGB fan controller. When I returned the computer to the client he was beyond happy to be able to compete at decent framerates at 1080P with the same computer that he had struggled to be able to even start some games just the day before (original work order for the computer was to just get it to boot which I did by installing the NVME then he wanted to fix the framerate issue). The GTX 1070 is still a very good GPU, I still have a GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 installed in my daughter's computer which competes pretty close to that of an RTX 3060.
32GB ram ... why🤦♂
@@stefanhyltoft needed now tbh I used 24 last time playing my games
Gonna chime in here too. I've had my Strix OC GTX 1070 for maybe 3 or 4 years now, and has been in my i5 4570 rig and now my current Ryzen 5 3600 build I made in 2020. Honestly cannot forsee upgrading it at any point in the near future.
My case has enough airflow to keep it cool and it almost never gets near full utilisation anyway. Lasted longer than any GPU I've had before it and likely after it. 8GB of VRAM on a 2016 xx70 card is a godsend
Agree with everyone, Pascal cards were great
Great performance, price was decent and large VRAM buffers which helped them a lot to age gracefully
only the 1080ti had a large vram buffer, the 1070 was just on the average for the time, and the 1060 ranged from pathetic to "a little below average". i guess you could count the 1050ti 4gb model as large even though it was only 4gb because it's low end though. and more than the 970gtx

correction - less fans means blower fan has to run faster to achieve same ammount of airflow as the other fans would meaning it will make more noise.

Still rocking my own GTX 1070 I bought in 2017. Great for 1440p leisure gaming or 1080p tripple-A. So far, it still runs every game I throw at it.
it will run every game in 1080p in the foreseeable future of gaming. might struggle with star citizen. maybe. but yea. keep it 1080 and it'll run.
I got a refurb 1070 in 2019 for only $200usd. It has served me well but I am hoping for an upgrade this winter. I've been spoiled by high refresh rates which is getting more difficult to push in newer titles such as Cyberpunk and Horizon: Zero Dawn. Great video! Keep it up.
I purchased hp omen 17 gtx 1070 maybe 4 or 3 months before and its running like a beast
I'm still using my GTX 1080 Ti, though it has started showing its age, it can throw punches at 1440p with little issues at high settings 60fps! Eventually I'll get a new GPU, but roughly 4 years, still going strong!
The 1080ti is such a beast. Outperforms a 3060 a lot of the time. What a great card beating newer cards two generations newer
I've heard from my friend saying that 1080 ti almost beat every card under 3060ti
Yup, still running my 1080Ti, haven't found a reason to upgrade it yet. I'll probably only replace it when it eventually dies.
I set my 1080 Ti to -50% of power and it still plays games strong but uses much less power now. Less heating in the room in summer :-)
im still use my 1080ti for 3440x1440 and have no problem with any game, ok you cant play any game on utlra and 100fps+ but 60fps and high settings are no problem. Maybe i upgrade later to 4000 series when the price droped.
got a 1080ti years ago for 400 Euro. Put it on Water , Overclocked it and it still runs great till today and im on 2k Res! I wanted to buy a 3080 back then and now prob. the 40 series but since prices are up im super glad i can just wait it out :)
I got a 1070 ti for about £270 just as covid hit and just before the prices went through the roof. Excellent card which lasted me until last week when I replaced it with a 2070 super which I got for £250. I'm extremely pleased with this one.
I got my 1070 about 2018/19 for 200 quid, although upgraded to 3070 last week. I just cant help but feel the new series of cards wont hold their value like the 10 series did.
RX 580 8gb user here, happy with my 580, I'd say not too far from the 1070, I don't care for any frames higher than 60 since everything I play is single player.
If I may suggest an idea, maybe make a video about upgrade paths for people with older cards, like from 570-570 or 1060 to something, from 1050 or 1050ti 1650, rx 560, gtx 970, etc, upgrades that won't break the bank.

The 1070 always was, and still is, a great card; holds up extremely well
The 1070 was and always will be one of my favorite cards simply due to the fact that it was a great card at the time and was my first Nvidia card. Since then, I’ve yet to put another AMD card in my main PC. To my knowledge, that 1070 I got years ago is likely still running today because I haven’t heard any complaints from the person I sold it to.
The green lacquer is actually cheaper, and surprisingly more strong and reliable. Matt black finish is very easy to peel off and scratch despite fancy looks.
So in OEM machines it's actually a good choice

1070 should be had for $100 and 970 I wouldn't pay more than $50 for one. 900 series really should be avoided at all costs, no Gsync/Freesync support no 4k video decoder on board, higher power use. A 1060 3gb is the same price usually as the 970 and almost should always been picked over the 970. If you keep an eye on on OfferUp you can find some deals.

The 1060 worked great. Sure the power isn’t much but when you are weighing all the reasons to spend the extra $0-20 on a 1000 series over 900 series then it’s something to consider. You are also comparing the 1070 and 970 which are not the same performance tiers. 970/1060 3gb put out similar FPS. The decoder is nice for handling 4K clips on RUclips other wise the cpu runs much more just to watch modern day clips. They are the same price usually, I have owned both and 1060 3gb is my choice over 970 any day.
$150 for a 1070 is a scam
Pascal is a prime example of Nvidia deliberately holding back the performance of former and future GPU's.
Especially with the 2070 and 3070. 6 years on STILL 8GB VRAM? BOOO NVIDIA! After 1070, the only cards of that generation that I would even consider an upgrade are 3060 12Gb, 3080ti 16GB and 3090. Everything else is just a toy. (I'm a CGI artist desperate for more VRAM when I'm not gaming and can't afford a QUADRO.)

Maxwell upgrade from Kepler is a huge step in solving power hungry issue, and Pascal one more time did that with both Power efficiency and Performance. Imagine a GTX 1070 uses the same 8 pin and draws 150W TDP as GTX 970 but performance is nearly +70% faster, we can praise Pascal architecture for its greatness. Turing is not so impressive even with RTRT while a 2060 draws the same power with only +10% performance, cut off 2GB of VRAM
Remember that awkward period when near-all PCBs were blue? I do. I miss that lol

I only recently upgraded to a 3070. Simply because some games were starting to struggle to reach 60fps on high, which is the bare minimum I want. But the 1070 is one I will forever remember.
Green PCB is the cheapest to make. The color is due to the polymer compound that covers the PCB, basically solder mask. Green is simply the cheapest, along with brown. Black and other colors cost extra, so when they want to make a board with no frills you'll often see green. Probably only a few cents per unit in cost difference, but when you make thousands or millions of them it adds up.
Still a solid card for sure, my daughter is still running my old Strix 1070 in her rig with no complaints :)
Rocking a EVGA 1080Ti SC2 in my build Pascal has to be one of the most greatest GPU generations to ever exist no need to upgrade yet!
thanks to the green pcb and the blower I got my 1080 for like 200€ in 2020 runs great
recently swapped mine out for a 3070 as the 1070 was struggling with vr titles. if i wasnt in vr so often i would have never switched, the 1070 is an amazing card for desktop performance
Very helpful, very good presentation!👍
Proud owner of a 1070! 😁 Almost ended being this model actually
I upgraded from a 1060 to a 1070 earlier this year when the cards became cheaper, I got it because my 1060 was struggling at 4K and the 1070 really pushes above its own class.
I can't think of a game which I can't run at 60 fps other than Hunt showdown. It's really easy to play games at 4K if you just take a moment to turn down the unoptimized settings which bog down even high-end cards, i.e. Ambient occlusion.
It's also well-suited for GPU inference tasks thanks to the 8gb of VRAM, making it a cheap offer for decent AI workloads.
I have been using my 1070 quite happily for years. Always surprised how well it handles newer games.
1070 was my dream card bacak then... my friend had one of these beast and its mind blowing even today
Love you’re work. Keep it up 👍
I can see you really like to play Spider-Man with those cinematic movements
yes! i use to have this card it can run very well. great video 👍
I've had a 1070 AMP Extreme from Zotac, basically a cheaper 1070 Ti thanks to the OC made by a producer. I had a lot of fun because this GPU could run anything and didn't even sweat. Now it sits in my buddy PC still running fine while I've got 1080 Ti for myself with a water block. Pascals are the best GPU series made by Nvidia so far. They are comparable with the 20 and 30 series and sometimes they are slightly better.
The 1070 and 1080Ti are both great cards from history, but lets not get carried away... the 1080Ti now just trades blows with a 3060... the rest of the 30-series is far better. This is not a knock on the 1080Ti... lets just not exaggerate too much! ;-)
@@wolfshanze5980 I have to disagree. The 1080 Ti is about 25-30% better than the 3060. This Ampere is castrated out of performance and 12 gigs of VRAM is a marketing trick for those who don't know much about GPU. A 192-bit memory bus with this amount of VRAM is a shame nowadays. Of course, someone can say "It has more FPS in game A" and that's totally fine but just as one swallow does not make a summer, neither does one or two games where 3060 is better. When comparing graphics cards, we should not focus on the very aspect of gaming, but also look at the overall design, performance of individual elements, etc. It should also be remembered that Nvidia cuts the performance of older chips when releasing new drivers so that new cards could always perform better than the old ones. Speaking of new ones let's take 3060 Ti on the bench. It's far better than 3060 with just 8 gigs of VRAM but yet 5-10% worse than 1080Ti. However this 5-10 % is not enough to make a big difference in gaming itself but as I mentioned above, we shouldn't only focus on the very aspect of gaming. I would rather say that 1080Ti is trading blows with 3070 than with 3060.
150W TDP is impressive even today considering the age of the product and the performance. Mid range card power draw is alarmingly creeping up and that's no bueno with the energy prices.
As somebody who just sold his old 1060 to a family needing for a mid range card, the 1070 is also a great choice if you stick to 1080p medium. In some PS4 era games it can even go all the way to high
From what I understand it's green because that's the colour of the plastic after it's produced. It's not dyed so it is ever so cheaper. That's why green PCB's are super common in lots of cheap electronics or cheap Chinese hardware a lot of the time.
I got a GTX 1070 back in 2016, the Palit Jetstream model. And it still holds up as the GPU in my main PC. Yes, there are stronger cards out there these days but thanks to its 8GB of VRAM and the rather strong performance back in its day it's still okay even now and it can handle any game you throw at it. I might upgrade it with the upcoming generation of GPUs but only to keep it alive in my secondary system, in which an older GTX 960 is slowly starting to die.
The 1070 is actually not too far behind the 3050's performance, just lacking ray tracing and DLSS. FSR can work for the 1070 though.
1070 strixx here after 5 years I do not feel I should change. My config was 1500EUR and I only bought +1 fan and more ssd/hdd. Perfectly balanced, as it should be...
I ran two 1070s in SLI up until a year or so ago when I gave the secondary card to a buddy who wanted to get into PC but couldn't afford a GPU. Still a phenomenal card, though I'll probably be replacing mine soon, since it doesn't handle DCS in VR at playable FPS.
I still have the gtx 970m 6gb and its still holds up the most new games 🎮 🙃
3 years ago when I bought the 2070 super it is a 1440p card and the advice from reddit saying that was overkill for 1080p but now post processing graphics gets more demanding over the years and look here now 1080p high/ultra is capable for cards more than a 3 years old especially with the 1070 variant. Imagine that!
I recently got the opportunity to (finally) build a gaming pc after my friend sold the old parts to his old and barely used rig. This Dell version came with it and for the buck i swear this series has to be the best nvidia has ever done. Although it doesnt handle dlss or rtx it damn near gets very close on it. Ill probably replace it in a few months since the market is good and its a five year old card- but still. Great card.
Main reason Pascal was relevant for this long is that the PS4/Xone era lasted for quite a while and it kept games's requirements low enough that a 1070 or even a 1060 would be able to play anything at 1080p60. I have the feeling the 20 series will be relevant for longer, but maybe not at 1440p.
I've got Ryzen 5 2600 with 1070, and it feels so goooood
i have the gtx 1080 in the exact same version as yours.i removed the stock cooler and put an aio and a backplate,works like a beast at 1080p
I'm still rocking my 1070 and it's still going hard you can pick them up for like $150 US rn because mining is no longer profitable on them if you are looking to buy a graphics card right now it is a great choice you can play any game with decent settings at a good frame rate
My 1070 GTX is still chugging along in my ASUS GD30ci pre-built. Upgraded to a 4K monitor and framerates are hovering between 40 and 60 in World of Warcraft with all settings cranked to max but with AA turned off.
Awesome! 🙂 I'm using an HP GTX 1070 in my personal rig at the moment, does everything I need :)
