i was wondering why all the music in your recent videos sounded so familiar. then i remembered that i shared my entire music library with your editor last month XD
U forgot cuz ur scrub
AwesomeSauce Network was better bro
I see what you were going for but the original will always stick for me
I keep having problems with my gigabyte r9 280x and am now looking to upgrade to the gtx 1060
What brand can you recommend for good cooling performance?
you didnt mention display outputs but othetwise good video!
Hey Paul I'm getting an rx 470. Is there a model you would suggest or like the most for that card? I was thinking sapphire nitro+ or powercolor red devil.
will ddr5 graphics card will work on ddr3 or ddr4 motherboard???if not then where will I get such motherboard
I fully stand behind the content, title and focus of this video.
Except the red arrow in the thumbnail. For that I am ashamed. #BlameJay
DAMMN IT JAY! Just curious, what did Jay do?
The zotac amp edition is my favorite cooler option for the 10 series.
I just want to play at 1080p high settings only, what card do I need?
MT 1070 will most definitely do it, maybe even the 1060
GTX 970 or 1060. Performance around the same, starting price was also the same. 970 is cheaper now.
I was literally just browsing Google for what 1070 to buy, and finding no decent videos, and this popped up in my notifications. Thanks Paul
nice! I love great timing :-D
+Paul's Hardware almost saved enough for the $1200 build from last month, so I'll probably go for the MSI gaming X anyway just to fit the colour scheme
Avoid Gigabyte and you're fine.
+Necris but why ? I was planning on buying one :(
Rice field pepe Shitty fans, probably the loudest of the bunch, also the only one reported to have numerous units with coil-whine.
lol..... I went to the wrong video... now search " how to choose graphics card FOR BEGINNERS"
Wow this video really helped me decide what 1070 Zotac card is the best for me!
I used to be a fan, now I'm a GTX 480 heatsink.

Dude you are not talking about how to choose best graphic card for us, you are talking about how we should choose gtx 1070 it would have been better if you talked about other graphic cards too:D
zotac sponsored. paul = jayz = craps!
He is using the 1070 as an example but what he is telling you can be applied to any GPU by any manufacturer.
Danny Berry i don't like dishonest reviewer where they often hide issue & never expose it due to the vendor sponsorship. e.g. look at jayztwocents promoted NZXT cam s/w but that dude never use it to over-clock. ok u can said he used to monitoring temperature but then y still using MSI:AB to monitor & said will conflict with other apps. that prick also said don't dl from GURU3D & should grab from MSI official website for MSI:AB. if those pro so good y can't detect 3.5 GB VRAM on GTX 970 at the 1st place & y need took so long after particular "someone" mentioned then those prick only started to fiasco thang??? yes he's good in water cooling but not great. i personally prefer barnacules is legit & upright. jayztwocents is such a douchebag & cocky guys. no offense paul h/w fans seriously PC build guide is damn stupid & useless.
First part, definitely not true. Second part, yes that is true but he is using this card as an example of what card to pick.
Deniz Özhan Ay in Paul's opinion the GTX 1070 is the best all around GPU. Many others agree that bang for your buck winner is the GTX 1070. If you don't like it then find another channel. If you want the honest truth then watch Paul and Kyle over at Bitwit.
The most important thing of any GPU is AESTHETICS
I have the Asus GTX1070 OC Edition and was able to OC to 2188MHz! im very happy with it
gg
you mean the small white one?
nice
Step 1: Look into your wallet
Step 2: Cry
10 different versions of a card....your certainly talking about EVGA, not Zotac. Superclocked, Supersuperclocked, Supersupersuperclocked, FTW, Classified, Hybrid Classified, Reference, ACX, Kingpin....I'm sure I'm missing some
Got the g1 gaming motherboard, may as well go for the g1 gaming GPU as well lol
Xtreme is better card and cooling.
Jaggsta yeah, buts is large, and its only a 3 degree difference anyway in comparison. I would also have to remove 4 HDD slots to fit it.
G1 GTX 1070 11.02" (280mm), Xtreme Gaming GTX 1070 11.46" (291mm)
Virtually all GTX 1070's with after market coolers will stay under 65C on load by setting a manual fan curve with very little impact to acrostic. "Out of the box" cooling performance should largely be ignored, yes some coolers are a little better better than others but all of them easily do the job.
Paul you also forgot one of the most important factors you need to consider, what resolution is the monitor you are using?
There is no point getting a GTX 1060 if you are playing at 4K or on the flip side, getting a GTX 1080 if you are playing at 1080p since that is a big waste of money.
total available graphics memory : 3136 is that good?
What GTX 1070 would you generally suggest the most?
Evga ssc/ftw
everything but the blower style cooler
I still wish they sold for the actual MSRP NVIDIA first talked about, but since they all OC within the same range just go for the less expensive options. ASUS and MSI have blower fan options for $410 right now (meh though), there's 4 at $430 (Gigabyte Zotac ASUS EVGA), of those I actually think I like the Zotac AMP best aesthetically (unless you're doing an orange build, then go Gigabyte). The ASUS Dual is nice too. The Zotac is the only one at that price with RGB LED too, if that's your thing.
for me is zotac, zotac has been my bros since long ago
+( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) unless you're going for a small form factor build
1080p 75 hz ultra just get a 1060?
yea 1060 should be enough, although you should upgrade your monitor to a 144hz gaming one.
+Young Kelz not everyone plays csgo
+J Vilander hehehehheheheheh
no, go for the 1070
***** maybe but why not 1440p?
hey can someone help me i dont have that much money that i can buy a gtx 1070 but i need a new gpu so maybe a rx470 or 480 or from nvidia a gtx 1060? Because my gtx 745 cant handle the games at 1080p and high settings
470 or 480 depends what games do you play. If you want 4 GB then get 470, 480 for 8 GB.
1080p high settings get an RX480
+Ayodeji Ajayi yeah thanks man i have 200-250$ budget and my screen is 1080p and 60hz
What Graphics Card can I buy for Video Music Editing??. my Pc is Dell Optiplex 9010 i5
Is your case slim or fat? If it is slim, you can forget about it because it is hard to get a graphic card that are good for video/music editing that fits into that case.
HEAVENLY MT late reply but MSI 1050ti low profile
I have the EVGA 1070 FTW and it's pretty sweet. I couldn't justify the 1080 price and I wanted more performance than the 480.
this is not how to choose your graphics card this is things to consider before buying graphics card . your clickbait game Paul is off this time pls adjust it
I'm probably buying the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
This particular Zotac 1070 that you're featuring in your video looks amazing. I love the carbon, the included backplate, and especially the awesome LED color options. I'm definitely going to buy this and replace my Asus 1060 with it. Thanks!
simple...
*ASUS ROG GTX 1080 TI STRIX OC*
zZoKo thats a mouthfull
Why do you always look so pissed off?
That fan would drive me INSANE. I would be drawn to the wobble, and then repulsed by it, only for the cycle to repeat endlessly.
I have following mother board, processor & graphics card, I would like to UPGRADE GRAPHIC CARD, need your small favor in this. Which LATEST graphic card will support to my mother board & processor.
1. Mother board - intel DX48BT2
2. Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz, 2664 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
3. ZOTAC NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 610
First, I look into my wallet.
I have a:
AMD FX6300
ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0
AMD RADEON R9 270X 2GB
Crucial Ballistix (2X4GB)8GB 1600Mhz
Corsair VS650
Cooler Master K350
250GB Seagate HDD
I want to sell this pc and make a new one. The build i'm thinking off i:
Intel 6700K
MSI Gaming Carbon Z170A
2X EVGA 980ti SuperClocked 6GB (I want sli both for the performance and for the overall aesthetics)
(2X8GB) 16GB Crucial Ballistix White 2400Mhz
EVGA SuperNova GS 850W Gold
Corsair Air 540 Artic White
I already own this two from the pc above:
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM 64MB Cache
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Another important aspect is your monitor's refresh rate... if it's 60 Hz and your card already gives you at least that (60 fps) without toning down many settings, it's somewhat pointless to upgrade to a stronger card as you won't see it any smoother. Unless you want certain features your card doesn't have, like Freesync or even GSync despite GSync monitors cost ~$100 more for the same result...
i.e. I've got an R9 280, not exactly a powerhouse, but I don't go below 50-60 fps ever, some games reach 100, OCd somewhat. I was toying with the idea of an RX 480 or 1060, even a Fury or 1070, but have to clam myself down and realize I wouldn't gain much at all on a 60 Hz monitor. A way better upgrade for me would be a better monitor - 80-100 Hz, with Freesync. Now that would be a really noticeable upgrade. But a bit expensive at the same time. I just mean many people must be in the same shoes, having a balanced system, and a GPU upgrade may be tempting but pointless on its own, and throwing a monitor in the equation ends up being costly. At any rate, consider your monitor's refresh rate.
So my i7 6700k is 37 degrees idle @4.0GHz. My motherboard temperature is 26. Before I tell you what CPU cooler I have, is this normal? Reasonable?
[I just built my first custom PC]
RX 460/Gtx 950+Athlon X4 860k/Intel pentium G4450 for gaming better than a console.(1080P)
RX 470/RX 480/Gtx 1060+i5 4440 for gaming at 1080P/60fps, 1440P/40-50fps and 2560x1080P(Ultrawide)/60fps.
Gtx 1070/Gtx 980Ti/Gtx 1080 for gaming 1440P/60fps and 3K too.
Me personally, I'd go with MSI or EVGA. Specifically the GTX 1080Ti. I don't have a PC but I'm planning on building one soon. I've also been playing PC Building Simulator so I think I have an idea of what PC I want to build
I don't know how but my EVGA Geforce GTX 1070 8gb acx 3.0 sc card running really much on the Hz load off 1900+ Hz and I haven't clocked it just the standard boost clock is on.
Paul,
It seems like various vendors have replaced the DRAM on the 1070's with Micron, while early samples had Samsung DRAM that tends to overclock much, much better. Have you any insight on this?
hi guys just want to ask what video card is the best for my build
motherboard:
MSI B150A Pro Gaming
processor:
Intel Core i5 - 6500 socket 1151
video card:
.?????
ram:
G. Skill Ripjaw V series 8gb (2x4gb) DDR4 2400 mhz
power supply:
Corsair VS650 watts
hard disk:
W.D caviar blue 1TB
cooling device:
Cryorig H7 cpu air cooler
Hey Paul will you reveiw ...soem new GTX 1060 or 1070 laptop .. ??? like this ASUS GTX 1070 GL502.. will be waiting for that
Why are prices in USA always 15-20% cheaper than in Europe, for the same things? And that includes cars, tehnical equipment, electronics, and basically everything else, even for food (for the same brands)?
And I'm not talking only about american brands (cause that would be understandable), but also for Asian and even European ones.
And salaries are double of those in Europe, at average, in USA.
Matej Bukovec yea i got a ryzen 1200 instead of a 1300x and a 3gb 1060 instead of a 6gb for even a higher price because i live in the EU
So, I'm going to upgrade my PC during the Black Friday here in Brazil... Due to import taxes and MORE taxes, lols, the price difference between even a RX480 and a GTX1060 is huge (like, the first is around R$1500,00 and the other is R$2000,00 or sth like that!). And I AM getting a FreeSync monitor (34UM68-P) for gaming/video content... The problem is: I have to go with AMD but I just wish that by Black Friday there's an option to match the GTX1070 at least... For upgradability and scaling and all that good stuff... Hope Vega arrives soon.
Ok so heres what you should do,
explain memory frequencies with a 256bit bus vs a 384 or 512bit bus.
When you talk about pixel fillrate, texture fillrate, memory bandwidth across different architectures
THEN YOU WILL HAVE MADE A VIDEO EXPLAINING WHAT GPU A PERSON NEEDS.
I mean yea, Nvidia pays all you guys (I know you say Nvidia doesnt pay you but I also know that if CNN can be fake news then so can you), so of course choosing the most expensive brand is going to be your go-to decision for other people.
Some people choose Iphone over Android and both are Unix based operating systems that
Linus Torvalds intended to be free, yet Apple charges you extra just like Nvidia or Intel.
So basically its still up to US what gpu to choose, and for me I like 360gbps of memory bandwidth or more - if you took the time to explain to these people about GPU specs then they would know why I like more memory bandwidth as opposed to less.
should I go for a mail in rebate visiontek rx480 8gb or a msi 4gb rx 470. msi is higher quality and better overclock but still... it's just a worse card... right? I don't know. can someone give me advice witch one to choose?
I've got a 960 gtx 2 GB with a AMD X4 860k. I get massive FPS drops on low settings on games like overwatch and black desert online. I'm desperately looking for a GPU upgrade and I'm thinking of either a zotac gtx1060 or Rx470. Upgrading my processor to faster Intel isn't a choice as I'm on a super tight budget.
I would appreciate some sound advice :)
I've got the AMD MSI RX 580 Gaming X. Its pretty loud even in a quiet case at 4K resolution high settings, I can see why gamers use headphones to block out the noise of the GPU fans.
i got a question. i'm working on a custom loop and i'm purchasing my 1070 this month. i'm really struggling between founders or custom manufacturers, any advice?
You are the first ever that I came across that clearly mentions the importance of ASIC and "luck of the draw" over all the bells and whistles that are supposed to provide higher overclocks.
ASIC doesn't only account for the potential of overclocking and non-overclocked boostspeeds, but also for efficiency. Temperatures and power limit headroom are better.
THANK YOU! (for not letting people think they should have 300 power phases and 4 8-pin connectors, buy 480mm rads with pump speed and fan speed permanently stuck to 100% for better overclocks)
There's a weird percussive instrument on the left that sounds like a cat licking up water.
I am a complete noob, would someone help me out? What is with the names of graphics cards? Whats the difference between a 1070 and a 1080? Or a 1080 and a 1080ti? Its not only Nvidia that names them this way, right?
how lucky am i. i just bought a GTX 1070 a few hours before seeing this video! XD
To play Minecraft
Yes
My 980ti Classified has a ASIC of 63.3% (higher then 3.4% of similar GPU's in a validation database) yet I can hit 1533mhz all day on air with 0 voltage increase. 1500mhz is the magic number for the 980ti and I really don't see any correlation between ASIC score and overclockablity.
Yeah I bought a 1080 Founders because I liked the cooler design. but now I built a custom loop and am debating getting a waterblock. IDK how much it would help with OCing. I can get 2025 MHz at 100% fan running 71°C... anyone water-cooled theirs yet?
I built my 1st Gaming PC 2 months ago with a GTX 1060 and finished my 1080p gaming setup shortly after. And I'm already wanting to upgrade to a GTX 1070 with 1440p monitors. PC gaming is addicting.
For the time being I'm actually running a pc with sub 1080p monitors, but one is mirrored to a 1080 tv for couch gaming. For this reason and the fact that I was lucky enough to get a 1060 6G for MSRP through EVGA at launch, I'm happy to say that this card is perfect for me, even counting in the inevitable 4K monitor upgrade a year or two down the road (playing games in 1080p on a 4K monitor will be perfect and won't blur any text)
Well to the people thinking about buying MSI or Gigabyte GPUs: I sincerely hope you never have to RMA them, their customer service is slow and horrid. It takes a bloody month from start to finish.
If you care any little thing about customer service then you got 2 choices: EVGA for Nvidia and Sapphire for AMD.
Why am I watching this? I already have a G1 Gaming 1070... maybe I'll get a second one... I'll definitely need to upgrade my monitor first, 1080 60hz is a little underkill (is that a word) for 2 1070s
This is how i choose the best card for me, which ever of the two brands that fit within a Corsair AIR240. Im glad corsair took the time to think about people who use cards that are not reference size...oh wait they didnt with this case.
I can only get EVGA or Gigabyte cards but lately EVGA has started making their cards to big, so soon im going to just have to ditch this case that i love because of its huge design flaw.
The EVGA B-stock is refurbished for a 1 year warranty. So check it out because I bought mine about a month ago. I even used the NZXT G10 to water cool the 980ti FTW. I paid 330 for card and S&H.
I have ASUS m32 with 12 gig of ram and 1 gig hd as well as a 6700 cpu.Asus was no help when I called them to as if I could put a Pascal titan X in this rig. They said the PSU was between 300 and 500 watts and they had no way of knowing what was in this particular rig.What do you think?Asus support sucks.
MSI GTX 1070 went for 449 in 2016, and in 2018, it's over $600, god damn it the miners! the whole cryptocurrency mining is such a waste of energy and natural resources, these craps will have to end soon!
I would have started this conversation with "What will the native resolution of the monitor you will be using with this graphics card be?" and "Will you be using a single monitor, or a multi-monitor setup?" Ultimately the answer to those questions will determine what level of graphics performance you will require. You don't need a GTX 1070 if your just going to game on a single 1080p monitor.
Is this a good editing/triple monitor gaming setup but mainly for Editing.
-I7 6700
-32gb of ddr4
-1070 (unsure for this)
-2 ssds in raid 0
-2tb hard drive for video storage
750watt psu
I want to build a PC for video editing but I also like to do some gaming, not a lot. Would the $900 build be adequate to run games like Quake Champions, and Dark Souls III? Should I opt to get the GTX 1060 as opposed to the 1050 Ti?
Aye Paul! got a question you might not answer .... whats a stable reliable z270 board for gaming ?.. had quite a few buddies get DOA's feeling kinda sketch
Great video. It is very helpful to first time builders.
Now make a video on why the 750 TI is better than the 1080! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Hi Paul, Hmmmmm am just wondering these two company Amd and Nvidia gpu's I've been thinking to get Nvidia for a next year! Yes I heard the nvidia is the fastest gpu by far. But I've got the and 7970 gpu with in before I use to have geforce by nvidia but it doesn't play avi files on windows media player with windows 7. But with the new gtx 10 series dose it play avi files on windows media player ? Or is it still the same problem but with the amd gpu it will play avi and mkv and dvix files on my windows media player windows 7 64 bit cheers paul
nigga look 90% of ppl are not looking at a 350 bucks card.. most ppl are not looking at a 200 and under card. most ppl computers are worth the price of that card. how about showing what ppl are going 2 buy the 1070 is not ass
When I rebuilt last month I wanted EVGA 1070 sc or ftw...mainly cus i've been using evga for so long but both were oos. I literally had everything to rebuild except the gpu...Impatience set in & Msi gaming X was the 1st one back in stock on newegg at the time so went with that for $439 i believe.
The cost of 'mid range' graphics cards seems to have permanently gone up from £150 / $150 to £200 / $200. Is this down more to the increase in VRAM, or is it just price inflation due to production and demand?
Getting a binned card is simply dumb, you get something like 5-10 fps at best for wayy more money, and this 5-10 fps on high end gpu's is something like 144fps vs 148fps so you couldn't tell the difference anyway.
it fabolous.The CPU may be the brain of your PC, but when it comes to gaming, the
graphics card is the beating heart that pumps pixels out of your obelisk
of a tower and into your monitor. A graphics card consists of dedicated
video memory and a graphics processing unit (GPU) that handles all
sorts of calculations, like mapping textures and rendering millions of
polygons. www.evetech.co.za/
No NVidia for me, I don't want to pay $100-200 for a G-Sync monitor and I hate that Gameworks bullshit and PhysX bullshit of NVidia. . ;)
I'm very much a visual person and I want my PC to be powerful enough to run Witcher 3 and VR, but pretty enough to win a beauty pageant. 😁
Can I ask for your help with something? So I've never built a PC before and I'm currently planning to build a mid-range gaming PC. It's going to be a while before I can afford all the parts so I was thinking of temporarily upgrading my current computer to run games until I can afford to build my new one. I'm thinking of buying a really nice GPU now and then transferring it to my build once I'm working on that and I need to know; Do all GPU's work with all motherboards? Will I have to be sure to buy one that will work on my new motherboard? Or will I be unable to find one that will work on both?
Been using a R9 290X and still seem good for what I do, but if I was to upgrade what NVidia Product would be my best upgrade and bang for the Buck would a 1060 even be much difference, or would it be a good upgrade or do I need a 1070 to notice a real difference...
For myself i picked the GTX 1050 Ti because most games i play would be on very high to almost ultra settings 1080p (ultra settings on older titles and not demanding like Overwatch).
I know this video is a way back but an impressive Gpu I owned is the Asus white dual GTX 1070. It runs cool and I was able to O'c it to 2188Mhz and than hit the power limit. But for the price and the raw power of that card it's fairly beastly.
I really want a GTX 1070 but i know its overkill for me becuse i play like 4 not that much demanding games. I think the 1060 3GB will be enough for me for awhile :)
HI Paul...good information here. I often felt it would be a good idea for someone in hardware reviews to have a basic "baseline" graphics card that does equal processing as the Intel HD graphics built into the CPU. Why? Lots of folks simply ignore the Intel HD graphics feature and buy a discrete video card and often do not gain anything, if not lowering their GPU processing that came with the CPU. So, it would be interesting for a hardware review that would show the performance of the Intel HD Graphics in comparison to some of the video cards that perform equally or less than Intel.
Why? To eliminate any confusion where to begin looking in performance levels with graphic cards and the price factor associated with them.
awhile back I just happened to be able to afford a club 3d royalking hd7950 for $140CAD off of amazon was a great deal don't think I am going to be able to afford another gpu for quite some time
I don't get why companies continue to put such obnoxious colors on their PC parts.
I can for sure say more people would like it without the yellow than people who would like it more with the yellow.
Everyone talks about overclocking everything but is it necessary just to play games? forgive the noob question just starting to learn about gaming PCs before I build one, would a 1070 play any game in standard clock?
My EVGA GTX 580 Superclocked came with the limited lifetime warranty and since it refuses to die I refuse to retire it. Fortunately I have a pretty large backlog of older games to play.
I have a decent computer but my graphics card is messed up. Knowing my computer isn't the best I have no idea what the max my computer can handle... how do I tell?
AMD A6 5200 APU with radeon 2.00 GHz this is my processor
what graphic card recomand for gaming, i wanna play csgo but my fps is way to low .
#Help
Help me please !
I always get used video cards from eBay when a game that I'm interested in comes out, play through it and flip that card for 25-30% profit a week later, leaving my Radeon 5770 for everyday workloads until the next game comes out, that way I don't spend any money on my and even get some profit, plus getting to play with dozens of cards and processors is quite fun as well )
g1 is the best, got mine up to 2180 clock and +750 memory clock ,65% voltage. I never go above 67c, mostly 60/62c(full load) , room temp 23/26c
I would love to see a breakdown of different top choices of cards to buy for different price points and for different performance points (1080p/1440p/vr/ etc) once vega hits. Thanks for the great video, Paul. Have a good one.
+Paul
Hello and thank you for producing this video. Best of luck with accumulating as many RUclips subscribers as possible.
My 2 biggest pc build head scratchers are what cpu and gpu I need, I'm not a massive gamer but I wouldn't mind connecting it up to my TV. So I can watch my movies of of it. As for cpu's there are so many I need a cpu lodged in my head just to get the right one! I think a i5 will be more than enough, but I'm not wanting to upgrade every year so I'm thinking i7. All I will say is I like rgb lighting if it done decently!
One thing I'm likely to take away from this video is that, unlike a while back (and I'm talking several years) when you had to decide if you wanted a video card for gaming versus non-gaming apps - it sounds like that's no longer a consideration. Clearly it's been years since I worried very much about anything other than having what was essentially a competent video card - when the All-in-Wonder series bridged the gap between the two schools of use. With the raw power available in just about any video card these days, any card would be applicable for any use. Right?
you should follow up with a video like linus did. make a video for price ranges and types of gamers, objectively speaking from what I saw; I learned that the 1070 zotac is best bang for buck even if its a tad ugly
Keep in mind that if you really don't like the stock backplate design, you can always look into getting a custom backplate for it from companies like V1tech. They attach magnetically so they don't compromise performance and are only like $30-40, which is reasonable for something custom made in my opinion
You don't need a 1070 for most games... 1060 will run most games high/ultra graphics@1080p at 60+ fps...
im stuck between choosing an, ASUS GTX 1070 DUAL OC and an EVGA GTX 1070 SC, i just dont know what to choose :'(
I fully expected this to be a milquetoast roundup of the current cards available with some no-brainer conclusions about which SKU to buy. Here instead we find a nuanced rundown of various general factors PC builders often overlook or misunderstand. Good stuff as always
how is gigabyte gtx 1070 extreme edition? would you recommend it? does it have any negative issue? (N.B: I won't do OC)
Please suggest.
You folks are so lucky that you got the GPU on real price because here in my Country with all the taxes n stuff 1060 costs $400.
