What's the general consensus on 1070 series, aside from EVGA jewing out on thermal pads? Was aiming for Gainward Phoenix or Palit JetStream/Gamerock, but fuckers are in extremely high demand where I live and hard to get. I need a backup variant in case they'll all sell out by the time I get the money for one.
what shithole r u from
dont buy mini 1070

Wasn't even considering it. I can play vidya for 18 hours a day and that single bitch-fan won't handle it.

get up sometimes for a walk or ur ass is in for some shitty constipation
my 970 stil runs everything at over60fps

resolution?

1080p
I have a 4k 40" and can see no difference so I run at 1080

Everyone jews out on thermal pads,cus they ain't needed.
EVGA just got a batch of faulty capacitors.
If you are considering anything other than asus, msi or gigabyte you should kill yourself.

Zotac is legit

Been using Gainward for years without issues. Their cards also have the best cooling and lowest fan noise in the whole lineup.
>gigabyte
Their 1070s are the flimsiest shit, mate.
>msi
If I'll want a heater, I'll get a proper one.

You might have poor eye sight if you genuinely can't tell the difference between a native 4K and 1080p image, especially on a 40" screen.

>especially on a 40" screen.
I can if I'm in front of it, not from my couch 5-6 feet away
>>379478490
Even at that distance, the quality difference between a 4K and 1080p image would be quite phenomenal. Are you talking about real rendered 4K images, like playing a PC game at 4K on your TV, or simply viewing upscaled material?

>asus
asus is cancer and so is their support
never buying from asus again
any video card is a crapshoot. get whatever has best warranty turnaround service and just hope they don't skimp on thermal solutions for at least the vrms and other critical components. do lots of research and find tear downs of whatever cards you're interested in so you know what you're getting into.
Founders edition or bust. My 1080 FE is a beauty under load and dead quiet. All you lose is a bit of over clocking ability for excellent build quality and one of the quietest/coolest air cooled solutions. (Does not apply to partner FE cards, I mean the nvidia made one only.)

Shhh you'll bring out the buyers remorse fags.
