1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,120
so we're kind of in an interesting situation right now where aftermarket

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:10,800
cards are being priced lower than the reference Founders edition of NVIDIA's

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:16,080
top-end models one of the first of these to hit the market is the EVGA 1070

4
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:20,720
superclocked which sports a factory overclock and a somewhat flashier

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:26,039
looking cooler the last time we had a look at one of evga's superclocked cards

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:31,439
we recommended it as the best value for money among the rest of their lineup but

7
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:35,480
as different as the gForce 10 series is from its predecessor is this still the

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:40,419
case let's Dive Right

9
00:00:43,079 --> 00:00:50,079
In the ZBOX Magnus en980 from Zotac is a

10
00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:51,239
freaking liquid cooled Mini PC holy crap

11
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:55,640
check it out in the link in the video description down below so our new

12
00:00:53,280 --> 00:01:00,280
superclock 1070 is quite a departure from the last generation of EVGA cards

13
00:00:58,039 --> 00:01:04,600
it's ditched the stealthy mostly black look and favor for a more metallic

14
00:01:02,199 --> 00:01:09,439
industrial look on the front face of the new ACX 3.0 cooler you also get a

15
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:13,600
brushed back plate with the evj logo and a back lit panel on the top also

16
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:18,720
featuring the logo something I personally find a little too inrf face

17
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:20,759
and tacky but lonus and JN both actually

18
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:24,799
liked it so I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder as always and speaking

19
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:28,840
of backlighting there are plenty of white lights on the front of the card so

20
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:34,720
it might be a good choice if you're rocking a rig with a black silver or

21
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:39,360
White theme there's no RGB but plain white does work quite well with the

22
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:43,600
industrial aesthetic of the card and white just kind of generally goes with

23
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:48,000
most themes anyways so it's probably fine on the side you get the standard

24
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:54,320
complement of ports including dual link DVI three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors

25
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:56,360
and an HDMI 2.0 port for 4K at 60 HZ

26
00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:03,119
with a supported monitor under the hood the GTX 1070 GPU has a boost clock of

27
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:04,960
1,700 184 MHz uh 100 higher than the

28
00:02:03,119 --> 00:02:12,080
reference Founders Edition but the superclocked still has the same 4 plus1

29
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,239
powerphase design and 8 GB of gddr5 V

30
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:19,400
RAM so how much of a difference does the 100 MHz bump make well unfortunately not

31
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:24,800
that much of one we tested at both very high 1440p and then medium 4K settings

32
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:28,959
and across the board the superclock 1070 and the founders Edition were within one

33
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:33,879
FPS of each other with a reference card actually winning by one FPS in a couple

34
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:38,599
of tests probably due to like I don't know alignments of the planets or

35
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:43,959
something the superclocked only pulled away a bit in Crisis 3 at 4K where it

36
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:47,640
managed three more frames per second but of course a non-reference cooler can

37
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:52,519
often mean better overclocking potential even with the same power phas design so

38
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:57,000
we cranked up both our EVGA superclocked and our Founders Edition 1070s to see if

39
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:02,720
the superclocked would Flex its muscles a little bit more we were able to

40
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:05,440
achieve a 125 MHz overclock on the

41
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:11,239
superclocked over the factory overclock and a 200 MHz overclock on the founders

42
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:14,319
Edition using both MSI After Burner and

43
00:03:11,239 --> 00:03:16,239
evga's precision X and OC Scanner keep

44
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:22,319
in mind that because the superclock had a 100 MHz Factory overclock it was only

45
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:24,599
running 25 MHz faster than the founders

46
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:29,159
Edition after we finished dialing in all of our settings here we saw a bigger

47
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:32,760
jump of 2 to 3 FPS for the EVGA card across the board but again it didn't

48
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:36,760
really put any distance between itself and an overclocked Founders Edition but

49
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:43,400
that isn't to say that the superclocked isn't better in any way as the new ACX

50
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:46,439
3.0 cooler kept the GPU at only 72° C at

51
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:48,400
load when overclocked a full 10 degrees

52
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:53,000
lower than the founders Edition with the ball bearing fans staying quiet as well

53
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:56,360
thermal performance is easily this card's strongest selling point and

54
00:03:55,159 --> 00:04:01,519
speaking of selling points the superclock 1070 retails for

55
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:05,799
$440 that's only 10 bucks less than the founders Edition with other aftermarket

56
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:10,079
design selling for up to $60 less than that you're paying a fair bit for the

57
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:14,040
nicer cooler yes those $60 less cards have fairly cheap plastic coolers and

58
00:04:11,799 --> 00:04:18,359
stuff but still as raw performance and overclocking potential are virtually

59
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:22,560
identical to NVIDIA's reference card that's a little rough yes those plastic

60
00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:26,800
cooled cards won't perform quite as well but still it's a bit disappointing as

61
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:33,080
the last superclocked card we reviewed the EVGA gtx980 SC was is clearly better

62
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:37,039
out of the box versus the reference card you can check out our testing for that

63
00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:41,639
up here but that makes it so that I can't really give the superclock 1070 an

64
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:46,199
enthusiastic recommendation but the interesting thing here is that it looks

65
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:50,960
like thermal performance may be worth the extra cost over the like lower end

66
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:55,240
aftermarket cards that we mentioned earlier if you really want that raw

67
00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:58,360
overclocking performance over reference though the for the win and classified

68
00:04:56,919 --> 00:05:01,520
additions with their more aggressive power Delivery Systems should be a lot

69
00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:07,639
more interesting Ting is a mobile carrier that is focused on customer service and

70
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:11,880
customer satisfaction first don't speak with a robot just get put through

71
00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:16,400
directly to a real person and pay only what you use on average a Ting bill is

72
00:05:13,919 --> 00:05:20,240
only $24 a month per device if you're stuck in a contract and switch to Ting

73
00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:24,960
they will cover 25% of your cancellation fee up to $75 so head over to Linus

74
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,479
ting.com and try out their savings calculator to figure out how much you

75
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:33,400
would spend with Ting when you sign up you get a $25 service credit or $25

76
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:37,080
