So my pic related died few days ago. A month after 2year warranty

tl;dr:

>anon is a newfag
>GPU died on him
>Needs new one, 1070 seems cool
>Which non-referent GTX 1070 is the best?

do research

Evga 1070 black edition iirc, needs 1x8pin connector vs 2x8 on other Evga models.

Too bad about your Palit experience because I just bought a Palit Jetstream 1070 two weeks ago and I couldn't be happier.

Cool, ridiculously quiet even under load, built like a brick(and the size of one). Didn't try overclocking yet because I didn't have to, though. And it was one of the cheaper ones on the market, too(5% more expensive than the cheapest 1070 I could have bought)

I had the exact same experience as you(card dying soon after the warranty ended) with a different high-ish end nvidia card in the past, so I wouldn't be so sure it's about the manufacturer.

Also,
>I might upgrade to 1440p in the future
Too be honest if you don't do that buying a 1070 is going to be a huge overkill.

Not avaiable where I live, How about SC model? It seems ok price-wise and I've only heard good things about EVGA besides coil whine in random models.

Logical increments
Read the guide on the game you want to play.

Well while it was working I had no complaints, good temps and decent performance. It started to act up week before shitting itself, games freezing requiring hard restet, one day I left in idle with nothing open (just dekstop) and when I came back to room I saw no signal, tested it on another PC and same thing. PCI-E slot in my motherboard also works, tried inserting the borrowed card into it. I suspect htey are making card to only last as long as it's warranty, which sucks. It was the main reason for me to consider Zotac cards which offer 2 years warranty+ 3 additional years for free if you register right after purchase. But Zotac AMP is too big for my case, dont know much about other models.

It's not like I ask for you to give me one specific greatest card, I just wanna get some recommendations and pros/cons going.Logical increments give me gigabyte suggestion but those are obnoxiously loud.

Just get the cheapest one, they're all more or less the same and can be OC'd the same. If you're a eurofag, it'll be KFA2. However, note that it has 2 year warranty as well. Some manufacters like MSI or EVGA offer a 3 year warranty for higher price.

>>57176446
Motherfucker.

Every brand I look at that always seemed to have the best quality and reputation fucks up somehow with 1070's. First msi with artifacts, now this with EVGA. I honestly don't know what to do, seems like a goddamn lottery.

I thought It was only MSI micron based cards, shit. I will return any card that doesn't use Samsung ram anyways.

>>57175824
>built like a brick(and the size of one)
This needs to stop being acceptable.

>>57176656
>I will return any card that doesn't use Samsung ram anyways.
lol you're such a moron

>>57175702
All video card manufacturers are hit or miss because they're all cheap Taiwanese fucks. Replace Palit in your OP with PowerColor or ASUS or EVGA or XFX or Gigabyte. It's all the same shit, just go by whichever has the best warranty.

>GPU reliability/longevity
>high performance

You can only choose one. Also 2 years out of a GPU isn't great but it also isn't unheard of. These things are disposable.

>>57176656
You won't get a Samsung card now unless you buy used. All manufacturers have switched over to cheaper Micron chips. This has been happening with Nvidia cards since at least Kepler. The first few production runs have Samsung, then they switch to cheaper Hynix and Elpida/Micron chips that don't overclock as well once the reviews are done.

>>57176705
You can't go wrong with PNY :)

>>57176669
If you want compact cooling with shitty performance, there are enough options for that.

>>57176732
I've seen many people reporting that they got samsung memory fresh out of a box, I've been checking sites of polish retailers and there's comments from 2 days ago saying they got samsung memory.

>>57176683
Why, because I want better shit in my components? Wow, that sounds so retarded!

>>57176669
Newsflash: GPUs get hot and need cooling.

>>57176732

How is this acceptable?

>>57176757
It's not 2009, anymore, GPUs aren't 300W monsters.
>>57176851
You don't need ridiculously oversized coolers than don't actually fit in order to cool your components.

>>57175702
Get a Gainward card.

>>57175702
>futureproof
>graphics card
No. If you have a 1080p monitor just get a 1060 and upgrade when you get a new monitor.

>>57179406
>It's not 2009, anymore, GPUs aren't 300W monsters.
Undoubtedly the RX 500 series and the GTX 1100/2000 series will have some of those monsters.. not like I'd want one.

>>57176799
Then those people got old stock that'd been sitting around in wherever they bought it from's warehouse. Companies have started issuing BIOS updates to correct the artifacting bug inherent to 1070s with Micron memory, and every board partner is on the list.

>>57179329
Because all you're ever guaranteed is stock clocks, which cheaper memory chips can provide. Overclocking isn't a right.

>Because all you're ever guaranteed is stock clocks, which cheaper memory chips can provide. Overclocking isn't a right.
I've been trying to tell these morons this, they'll never get it.

buy rx 480 so your hardware doesnt die within 2yrs
notice how hawaii chips are still good and theyre old as fuck

>>57175702
RX 480 ya fool. That way you save a fair amount of cash on a free sync display

Also skip 1440p at this point AOC makes a 4k free-sync display at $300 the TN on it is close to a VA panel for color
