It was released in 2017 as an updated and upgraded version of the Nvidia GTX 1070, with more performance but a higher price.

This formerly had the potential to compete with the GTX 1080 in the high-end market, but with the RTX 2070’s arrival, its value has been rendered a little dubious. You can still play at 1440p and 4K with the GTX 1070 Ti, which costs significantly less than the latest and greatest graphics cards.

We now present to you the top GTX 1070 Ti variants that are currently on the market.

Our other news platform, GPU Mag, has a lot more fascinating stories regarding GPUs.

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 Ti MINI

An open-air cooler

There are only two fans.

The Pros:

  • The tiniest GTX 1070 Ti currently on the market
  • Consistent performance in spite of rudimentary cooling

The Cons:

  • The ability to overclock is limited.
  • Outside of small-scale applications, it is of little use.

About The Graphics Card

While Zotac is one of Nvidia’s more recent partners, the company is well-known for its superb GeForce cards and other products.

ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 1070 Ti Mini 8G GDDR5 – GEARVN.COM

The Zotac GTX 1070 Ti Mini is the list’s first entry, and it’s a surprisingly little graphics card for a high-end one. For every Pascal GPU, including the 1070 Ti, Zotac offers a “small” variant, and this one is no exception.

Instead of the customary single fan, this graphics card has two, unlike the low- and mid-range counterparts that prioritize compactness.

Despite the increased size, this is still a high-end GPU that can fit in Mini ITX cases. Because of this increase in size, the card’s outer bulk is quite low, and it comes with a backplate.

Specifications

The base clock frequency is 1607 MHz.

1683 Mhz Boost Clock

Access to three DisplayPort 1.4 ports

One HDMI 2.0

Our Thoughts

The Zotac GTX 1070 Ti Mini’s most obvious advantage is its small size. Because of its small size, it can be installed in the majority of computer cases – up to and including 99 percent, according to Zotac. Since it is so powerful, it is unquestionably the greatest option for a powerful Mini ITX gaming PC or an external GPU enclosure.

The card’s biggest flaw is something that every “small” model has: a lack of effective cooling. Although this specific model has two fans, they will not struggle to keep the card cool with the original clock settings, but they will become extremely loud when the card is under heavy use.

This, of course, means that overclocking isn’t going to be a great experience for the card.

MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1070 Ti

An open-air cooler

There are only two fans.

The Pros:

  • A decent amount of overclocking power.
  • High-quality construction

The Cons:

  • The design is not neutral.

About The Graphics Card

The MSI GTX 1070 Ti is the next card on our list, which is a bit more serious in terms of performance. This graphics card is part of MSI’s well-known Gaming series, which is noted for its high performance, reasonable cost, and a design philosophy that may be a bit much for some people.

With two enormous double ball-bearing Torx 2.0 fans and an eye-catching design that includes red LEDs and an RGB logo on the side, the card is sure to draw attention. It also has a gorgeous backplate, of course.

Specifications

The base clock frequency is 1607 MHz.

1683 Mhz Boost Clock

Access to three DisplayPort 1.4 ports

One HDMI 2.0

Our Thoughts

Cooling efficiency, build quality, and design are the three biggest assets of this card, although the last is mostly a personal preference. There’s little doubt about it, though, that this is a true gaming card thanks to its aggressive look and lights, as well as its great overclocking capabilities.

Though it’s possible that this particular model’s design will deter some buyers. However, despite the fact that it’s cool on its own, the outside design is far from neutral because of the bright red accents. As a result, it may look out of place in some settings.

EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti SC GAMING

An open-air cooler

There are only two fans.

The Pros:

  • A decent amount of overclocking power.
  • High-quality construction
  • Simple and unassuming style

The Cons:

  • There is no backplate.
  • There is no RGB lighting in this room.

About The Graphics Card

EVGA is another Nvidia graphics card manufacturer that should never be underestimated. The GTX 1070 Ti SC Gaming may not be the finest graphics card on the market, but it still gives excellent value for your money.

EVGA GTX 1070 Ti SC Black Edition ACX 3.0 Specs | TechPowerUp GPU Database

Dual ACX 3.0 fans and a sleek, detail-heavy appearance are the same on every card in this series from EVGA. Unlike most high-end graphics cards, this one does not have a backplate.

Specifications

The base clock frequency is 1607 MHz.

1683 Mhz Boost Clock

Access to three DisplayPort 1.4 ports

One HDMI 2.0

Our Thoughts

This EVGA variant is on par with the MSI model above in terms of performance. Both ACX 3.0 and Torx 2.0 use dual ball-bearing fans for cooling, making them extremely long-lasting.

There are no notable differences in performance between the two and they are now priced quite close to each other.. Design, on the other hand, is where they diverge.

To be sure, the “gaming spirit” that MSI’s model exuded can be found in EVGA’s sleeker and more color-neutral design as well. A backplate would have been nice, but there isn’t one on this card, which is unusual for a card in this price level.

Your final decision on which of these two cards to purchase will be based solely on your personal taste in terms of outside appearance. As a performance-oriented solution, you’ll be interested in what follows.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Gaming

An open-air cooler

There are three of them.

The Pros:

  • Spectacular show!
  • Designed to last a long time
  • Design that isn’t overly colorful or loud

The Cons:

  • It’s a big one.

About The Graphics Card

Gigabyte, a well-known and flexible hardware manufacturer, is our next graphics card maker. The graphics card in question is the GTX 1070 Ti Gaming model, and it’s a fantastic card in every way.

Three orange-striped Windforce fans and the huge heatsink of the card allow for exceptional heat dissipation, making this Gigabyte card one of the best on the market.

It’s no surprise that the Gigabyte card comes with a sleek metal backplate, as well as a basic implementation of RGB lighting, which is limited to the Gigabyte logo and the “fan stop” signal.

Specifications

The base clock frequency is 1607 MHz.

1 721 MHz for the turbocharger

Access to three DisplayPort 1.4 ports

One HDMI 2.0

Our Thoughts

Regardless of how you look at it, this is a top-notch graphics card in every way. With its triple-fan architecture, its performance advantage over smaller models should be evident, as should its ability to handle heavy overclocking.

The card’s build quality is also excellent, as it is meant to withstand the rigors of daily use. The card’s design is rather simple, thus it should fit well with most other components.

There’s only one problem with this card, and that’s that it’s a triple-fan model. Because it’s a big card that can only fit in ATX or eATX chassis, you’ll want to make sure your case can hold it before you buy it.

ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Advanced Edition

An open-air cooler

There are three of them.

The Pros:

  • Excellent overclocking abilities
  • Designed to last a long time
  • Streamlined and minimalistic design
  • Intricate color-changing lights.

The Cons:

  • Expensive
  • Unusual port selections
  • Large

About The Graphics Card

Of course, we couldn’t talk about gaming graphics cards without discussing the RoG Strix GTX 1070 Ti from Asus. A RoG Strix card, on the other hand, is a foregone conclusion for anyone who has seen one before.

Triple-fan graphics card with minimal black exterior, sleek metal backplate, and abundant RGB lighting that covers not just the stripes on the front but also the RoG logo emblazoned on both the front and backplate.

Specifications

The base clock frequency is 1607 MHz.

1759 MHz Boost Clock

2 DisplayPort 1.4 connections

a pair of HDMI 2.0 ports

Our Thoughts

For those who want a top-of-the-line card that they can overclock and get the most out of, this is the card to opt for. Everything you might want in a motorcycle helmet is included in this model.

However, we have two reservations about it. The first and most obvious one is the cost. With recent price cuts and rebates, the Strix GTX 1070 Ti is still a bit on the expensive side, but still a lot less expensive than the RTX 2070 is.

In addition to it, there is the unique port selection. Most of these cards include three DisplayPorts, as well as one HDMI and one DVI port, as you can see. For those with three monitors, however, this one has two DP and two HDMI ports, which may be a problem.

In addition to that, the card’s size prevents it from being placed in smaller cases, just like the Gigabyte model above.

ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Turbo Edition

Type of Cooler: Blower

There are only one fan.

The Pros:

  • Great for circumstances where ventilation is restricted.
  • Design that is simple and uncluttered

The Cons:

  • Load causes the fan to be louder.
  • There is no backplate.

About The Graphics Card

For our final entry, we’ve got something unusual. Another Asus card, albeit not a Strix model, has been released by the company. Instead, it’s the GTX 1070 Ti Turbo Edition, which uses a blower fan. GPUs aren’t a fan of this form of cooling, but blower fans have their advantages.

VGA ASUS GTX 1070TI 8GB TURBO – Máy Tính Biên Hòa

To start, it is clear that Asus has taken an alternative approach to design with this model: no aggressive gaming aesthetics or RGB lighting, simply a nice and basic exterior that can be used in almost any setup.

Specifications

The base clock frequency is 1607 MHz.

1 721 MHz for the turbocharger

2 DisplayPort 1.4 connections

a pair of HDMI 2.0 ports

Our Thoughts

Contrary to popular belief, this graphics card is still capable of overclocking to the same levels as the two versions mentioned above. However, the blower fan has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Specifically, blower fans all have one thing in common: they’re noisy. Because there is just one fan to draw air into the card and expel it out the back, the RPM must be kept as high as possible.

As a result, while this card’s performance will be on par with the two preceding models, it will be much more noticeable. To be fair, since it has a closed exterior and blows the hot air out of the back of the card and away from the case, blower-equipped cards are perfect for tight cases with poor ventilation.

MSI GTX 1070 Ti DUKE

Pros

  • Cooling system of the highest caliber
  • It gives you a ferocious appearance.
  • Military-grade parts have a lengthy lifespan.

Cons

  • Compatibility issues arise because of the card’s length.
  • Minimal illumination is required.

There are 2432 GPU cores, 8GB of GDDR5 memory, 3 fans, RGB lighting, and a total bandwidth of 256.3 gigabits per second. The system runs at a boost clock of 1683 MHz, with a memory bandwidth of 256.3 gigabits per second, and a length of 12.28 inches.

With the Pascal line, MSI debuted the Duke series of graphics cards, which didn’t exist prior to that. As one of MSI’s longer graphics cards, the GTX 1070 Ti Duke features three fans and a robust cooling solution. Because these aren’t the Torx fans found on MSI Gaming X / Lightning Edition graphics cards, the card’s noise levels are higher than those seen on other MSI models. The card’s rear plate has an MSI logo printed in white and a few vents, however these do not help with cooling in any way.

A dual-slot cooler is included, although the length and height of the card make it incompatible with many micro-ATX cases. This graphics card, despite its large size and imposing appearance, is not one of MSI’s Lightning Edition models. The top of the graphics card has RGB lighting as well, however it is very sparsely lit, with only the word “DUKE” illuminated.

Three heatpipes on the graphics card’s cooling system should have been better covered up by the massive amount of aluminum fins, but we noticed delta temperatures of around 45 degrees, which is acceptable for such high-end graphics cards. A solid metal piece at the location where thermal pads touch the heat-sink fins and heat pipes of the VRM of a graphics card would improve temperatures significantly.

With a maximum power draw of 180 watts, the graphics card includes an 8+2 phase VRM design. As a result of this, the graphics card’s core speed can be increased to 2050 MHz, and its memory clocks can reach 2200 MHz. Temperatures rise to roughly 65 degrees with full fan operation, and near 75 degrees with a more aggressive fan profile than the original one.

Check out this graphics card before the stock runs out because it looks and performs better than the reference model.

EVGA GTX 1070 Ti FTW ULTRA SILENT ACX 3.0

Pros

  • Allows for the creation of multiple profiles by using a dual BIOS.
  • Provides a high-end, refined appearance.
  • ACX fans run very softly.

Cons

  • Some cases may not be compatible with the tri-slot design.
  • Coil whining is a problem.

There are 2432 GPU cores, 8GB of GDDR5 memory, and 2 fans. There is also RGB lighting and 2×8-pin power connectors. There are 1 DVI, 1 HDMI, and 3 DisplayPort outputs. The maximum nominated power consumption is 235 watts.

The thin and elegant form of EVGA graphics cards is well-known, but this is also seen as a drawback by some users because of the increased temperatures that such designs cause. In terms of design, the GTX 1070 Ti FTW Ultra Silent is comparable to the normal SuperClocked variant, but with a 2.5 slot cooler and a metallic front panel. Because there are two BIOSes included on the graphics card, users can safely modify one of them without fear of damaging the device. Even though this is a brilliant design choice, the FTW2 backplate still offers more rectangular micro-vents and makes greater use of the backplate’s dust-filter vents.

In terms of overclocking capability, this graphics card is part of the FTW (For The Win) range and has the latest iCX technology, which would have made this card a lot more expensive. There are RGB-lit, software-controllable graphics card names and logos adorning the graphics card’s top.

The graphics card’s cooling system features six heat-pipes arranged vertically in aluminum fins. We believe that the little holes in the fins from the side help to reduce the acoustic levels of the card. This card has two fans, however unlike the SC model, the FTW version has a wider height, allowing it to accommodate larger fans. This improves the graphics card’s overall airflow and decreases noise. We found that the stock fan curve produced temperatures of roughly 65 degrees, so you can alter it to be more passive in order to improve the system’s acoustics.

FGW VRM designs are known for their high-quality components and excellent VRM design. Using a 10+2 VRM design, the card can reach a maximum rate of 2075 MHz on the core while maintaining temperatures of 65 degrees at a set fan speed of 50 percent. ” To get the best of all worlds, the FTW Ultra Silent graphics card is what you’re looking for if you’re concerned about noise and performance.

ZOTAC GTX 1070 Ti AMP!

Pros

  • The factory BIOS has a power target that is ideal.
  • Carbon ExoArmor gives the impression of excellent construction quality.
  • a lengthy warranty of five years

Cons

  • Fan-shroud weight may cause sagging in the ceiling
  • In the GTX 1070 Amp Edition, the lighting on the front of the card was removed,

The ZOTAC GTX 1070 Ti AMP! edition graphics card is ZOTAC’s least impressive model. Although the Amp Extreme model is the most expensive, it also consumes the most space, and the more affordable Mini model is the smallest. As a result, the Amp version would be smaller and less powerful, but the graphics card would retain its massive form factor and dual-fan design. Both the front fan-shroud and the back-plate of the graphics card are made like tanks. The Spectra RGB lighting is very sparse, with only the ZOTAC logo glowing up the top of the device.

ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 1070 Ti AMP Edition | ZOTAC

In order to keep the graphics card cool, it has a large heat-sink and a dual-slot heat-sink design. Our laptop reached a maximum temperature of 63 degrees Celsius, which was pleasantly surprising. However, the fans were extremely loud, and we recommend that you change the fan profile to reduce the noise.

However, the “PowerBoost” capacitor on the back of the card removes ripples and other difficulties, allowing the core clock to rise above 2 GHz easily, despite the card’s use of a 6+2 VRM design. This graphics card offers excellent value for money and is considerably less expensive than the more expensive Amp Extreme model. It will not let you down in terms of performance, so you should give it serious consideration.

GIGABYTE GTX 1070 Ti GAMING

Pros

  • An OC profile allows for higher core clock speeds.
  • The back-plate of the card helps to cool the system.
  • The design is surprisingly light-weight.

Cons

  • The fan-shroud is made of plastic, which feels cheap and prone to breaking.
  • The card’s price is incredibly low compared to its rivals.

This is an 11-inch case with three fans, RGB lighting, and graphics outputs of 1 DVI, 1 HDMI, and 3 DisplayPort. The maximum nominal power consumption is 180 watts, and the Boost Core Clock is 1721 MHz, while the GPU Cores are 2432.

GTX 1070 Ti Gaming is a tri-fan model with a few more features and factory overclocked by the manufacturer. The fan-build shroud’s quality is terrible, and it feels as if the shroud may break if you apply too much force while installing it. The Gigabyte logo is RGB-lit on the card’s top using the company’s RGB Fusion technology. Because of its regular height, the graphics card shouldn’t have any problems fitting inside micro-ATX cases, but its length may be an issue.

At 70 degrees Fahrenheit, we measured the graphics card’s dual-slot WindForce cooler that has been employed by Gigabyte for a long time. The graphics card’s core clock was stable at 2037 MHz, while the memory frequency was 2200 MHz after overclocking. By 4-5 degrees, the card’s temperature rose to a maximum of 74 degrees, which is still within the acceptable range.

We recommend this graphics card only if you like the card’s design and want a standard-height graphics card that doesn’t compromise on performance at a reasonable price point.

How To Pick The Best GTX 1070 Ti For Your Needs

If you’ve decided to go with a GTX 1070 Ti, you still need to choose the proper model for your specific needs. Before you make your final decision, we’ll take a look at some of the most crucial aspects to consider!

Cooling – Open-Air vs Blower Fan

Open-air coolers and blower coolers are two options for air-based cooling.

Open-air cooling is the most popular and optimal method for conventional graphics cards. In an open-air cooler, cold air is drawn into the heatsink by one to three fans, which pushes heated air out the other end.

When the case has poor airflow and/or no case-mounted fans, open-air cooling becomes a concern. In other words, even if the card is operating at a safe temperature, the case might easily get overheated due to the unwanted heat that accumulates there.

Fans such as these can help here. A single fan with a closed exterior distinguishes them from other reference cards, which use many fans and open air. Because the heatsink is located in the back, any air drawn into it is expelled out of the case. Blower fans can be much louder than open-air coolers with numerous fans, even though they’re perfect for tight cases with restricted ventilation.

As a result, the ideal cooling solution for your system should be readily apparent. If the case is large and has additional fans, an open-air card is the best option. A blower, on the other hand, is a preferable option if your case is smaller and more congested.

Cooling – Single-Fan vs Dual-Fan vs Triple-Fan Cards

Open-air coolers and blower coolers have been compared, but what does the number of fans on an open-air cooler mean specifically?

Open-air coolers use either one, two, or three fans to keep the air chilled. As you may have observed, there are no single-fan cards on this list because they are intended for weaker GPUs, which the GTX 1070 Ti is not. Even though single-fan cards can be more compact and less expensive than cards with many fans, there’s no reason to focus on them in this article.

As far as space, cooling efficiency, and noise are concerned, dual-fan cards are a good compromise for most graphics cards.

But in the case of high-end cards, triple fan versions are more enticing because of the additional cooling power, and let’s be honest – if you’re buying a GTX 1070 Ti, you’ll want to push it to its maximum. Using triple-fan cards is limited to ATX or eATX chassis due to their size, which has been stated in various posts.

Connectivity – DisplayPort vs HDMI vs DVI

We also have the ports at the end of the day. Modern GPUs and displays communicate through DisplayPort, HDMI, or DVI, however VGA connectors are still present in some low-end devices..

When determining which port to utilize, take in mind the maximum supported resolution and refresh rate for a specific resolution.

DisplayPort 1.4 reigns supreme here, supporting 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 120 Hz, as well as QHD and FHD at 240 Hz. Unlike HDMI 2.0, which can only deliver 60 Hz in 4K, and 120 Hz in QHD and FHD, HDMI 2.0 is a bit more constrained.

DVI, on the other hand, can only deliver 60 Hz and 144 Hz for QHD and FHD respectively. As a result, even if DisplayPort and HDMI are better options for the GTX 1070 Ti, this is still a viable port.

The Best GTX 1070 Ti For 2022 – Our Take

In the end, the Asus RoG Strix GTX 1070 Ti is the best GTX 1070 Ti available today. Due to its attractive look and top-notch performance, we think it’s the best card on the market. True, it’s a little pricy, but if you’re already shelling out for a GTX 1070 Ti, why not go all the way?
