00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.120
so we're kind of in an interesting situation right now where aftermarket

00:00:03.800 --> 00:00:10.800
cards are being priced lower than the reference Founders edition of NVIDIA's

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

00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:20.720
superclocked which sports a factory overclock and a somewhat flashier

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:26.039
looking cooler the last time we had a look at one of evga's superclocked cards

00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:31.439
we recommended it as the best value for money among the rest of their lineup but

00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:35.480
as different as the gForce 10 series is from its predecessor is this still the

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:40.419
case let's Dive Right

00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:50.079
In the ZBOX Magnus en980 from Zotac is a

00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:51.239
freaking liquid cooled Mini PC holy crap

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:55.640
check it out in the link in the video description down below so our new

00:00:53.280 --> 00:01:00.280
superclock 1070 is quite a departure from the last generation of EVGA cards

00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:04.600
it's ditched the stealthy mostly black look and favor for a more metallic

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

00:01:07.119 --> 00:01:13.600
brushed back plate with the evj logo and a back lit panel on the top also

00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:18.720
featuring the logo something I personally find a little too inrf face

00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:20.759
and tacky but lonus and JN both actually

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

00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:28.840
of backlighting there are plenty of white lights on the front of the card so

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

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:39.360
White theme there's no RGB but plain white does work quite well with the

00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:43.600
industrial aesthetic of the card and white just kind of generally goes with

00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:48.000
most themes anyways so it's probably fine on the side you get the standard

00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:54.320
complement of ports including dual link DVI three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:56.360
and an HDMI 2.0 port for 4K at 60 HZ

00:01:54.320 --> 00:02:03.119
with a supported monitor under the hood the GTX 1070 GPU has a boost clock of

00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:04.960
1,700 184 MHz uh 100 higher than the

00:02:03.119 --> 00:02:12.080
reference Founders Edition but the superclocked still has the same 4 plus1

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:14.239
powerphase design and 8 GB of gddr5 V

00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:19.400
RAM so how much of a difference does the 100 MHz bump make well unfortunately not

00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:24.800
that much of one we tested at both very high 1440p and then medium 4K settings

00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:28.959
and across the board the superclock 1070 and the founders Edition were within one

00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:33.879
FPS of each other with a reference card actually winning by one FPS in a couple

00:02:31.640 --> 00:02:38.599
of tests probably due to like I don't know alignments of the planets or

00:02:36.040 --> 00:02:43.959
something the superclocked only pulled away a bit in Crisis 3 at 4K where it

00:02:41.480 --> 00:02:47.640
managed three more frames per second but of course a non-reference cooler can

00:02:45.480 --> 00:02:52.519
often mean better overclocking potential even with the same power phas design so

00:02:49.720 --> 00:02:57.000
we cranked up both our EVGA superclocked and our Founders Edition 1070s to see if

00:02:55.040 --> 00:03:02.720
the superclocked would Flex its muscles a little bit more we were able to

00:02:58.959 --> 00:03:05.440
achieve a 125 MHz overclock on the

00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:11.239
superclocked over the factory overclock and a 200 MHz overclock on the founders

00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:14.319
Edition using both MSI After Burner and

00:03:11.239 --> 00:03:16.239
evga's precision X and OC Scanner keep

00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:22.319
in mind that because the superclock had a 100 MHz Factory overclock it was only

00:03:18.920 --> 00:03:24.599
running 25 MHz faster than the founders

00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:29.159
Edition after we finished dialing in all of our settings here we saw a bigger

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

00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:36.760
really put any distance between itself and an overclocked Founders Edition but

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

00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:46.439
3.0 cooler kept the GPU at only 72° C at

00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:48.400
load when overclocked a full 10 degrees

00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:53.000
lower than the founders Edition with the ball bearing fans staying quiet as well

00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:56.360
thermal performance is easily this card's strongest selling point and

00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:01.519
speaking of selling points the superclock 1070 retails for

00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:05.799
$440 that's only 10 bucks less than the founders Edition with other aftermarket

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

00:04:07.720 --> 00:04:14.040
nicer cooler yes those $60 less cards have fairly cheap plastic coolers and

00:04:11.799 --> 00:04:18.359
stuff but still as raw performance and overclocking potential are virtually

00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:22.560
identical to NVIDIA's reference card that's a little rough yes those plastic

00:04:20.479 --> 00:04:26.800
cooled cards won't perform quite as well but still it's a bit disappointing as

00:04:25.080 --> 00:04:33.080
the last superclocked card we reviewed the EVGA gtx980 SC was is clearly better

00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:37.039
out of the box versus the reference card you can check out our testing for that

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

00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:46.199
enthusiastic recommendation but the interesting thing here is that it looks

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:50.960
like thermal performance may be worth the extra cost over the like lower end

00:04:49.280 --> 00:04:55.240
aftermarket cards that we mentioned earlier if you really want that raw

00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:58.360
overclocking performance over reference though the for the win and classified

00:04:56.919 --> 00:05:01.520
additions with their more aggressive power Delivery Systems should be a lot

00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:07.639
more interesting Ting is a mobile carrier that is focused on customer service and

00:05:05.400 --> 00:05:11.880
customer satisfaction first don't speak with a robot just get put through

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

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

00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:24.960
they will cover 25% of your cancellation fee up to $75 so head over to Linus

00:05:23.400 --> 00:05:28.479
ting.com and try out their savings calculator to figure out how much you

00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:33.400
would spend with Ting when you sign up you get a $25 service credit or $25

00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:37.080
towards a new device thanks for watching this video guys if you liked it like it

review thing that's that's what that video is if you want to buy one of these
