Evga Geforce Gtx 1070 Ti Sc Hybrid Gaming Review

EVGA'due south GTX 1070 SC introduces the company'due south ACX 3.0 air cooler, an update nosotros detailed in our Computex coverage of EVGA'southward GTX 1080 FTW, Hybrid, and Classified cards. The 1070 SC is part of EVGA'southward "SuperClocked" family unit, which is the most affordable pre-overclocked menu that the company sells. The vertical volition likely later add an SSC card, or Super SuperClocked, with non-OC cards falling beneath SC in price. The GTX 1070 SC has an MSRP of $440, or $10 beneath the $450 Founders Edition that we reviewed, and is one of EVGA'due south first 1070s to market.

This review of the EVGA GTX 1070 SC looks at thermals, FPS, noise, and overclocking. We compare the EVGA 1070 SC vs. the MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X and NVIDIA GTX 1070 Founders Edition cards.

EVGA GTX 1070 SC Specs

EVGA'due south GTX 1070 SC is one of the more affordable cards in the company's stack. The "SC" cards (or "SuperClocked") are hierarchically tiered lower than SSC and FTW cards, with only a few flagship GPUs receiving Classified or Thou|NGP|N cards.

This is an SC card. Its clock-rate is natively configured to 1594MHz / 1784MHz (base/boost), which is increased roughly 100MHz over the GTX 1070 Reference ("Founders Edition") clock-charge per unit of 1506MHz / 1683MHz. EVGA'due south shipping its 1070 SC with an effective memory clock of 8008MHz – the aforementioned every bit the GTX 1070. All GTX 1070 video cards volition use GDDR5 retentivity, not the GDDR5X ("G5X") debuted on the GTX 1080.

Dimensionally, the EVGA GTX 1070 SC is more workable than some of MSI'due south newest video cards, like the MSI 1080 Gaming X we just reviewed (and the MSI 1070 Gaming X, which uses the same size PCB). EVGA'southward SC carte runs the same height as the expansion slot – ~4.376", or 111.15mm – and uses exactly two expansion slots. In that location is no "2.five" slot setup, hither. Its 10.5" length is fully saturated with fans and an aluminum heatsink.

New coolers accompany about every generational jaunt. EVGA's longest-continuing cooling solution falls under the "ACX" brand proper noun ("Active Cooling Xtreme"). The company updated to ACX iii.0 with the Pascal launch, something nosotros detailed with great specificity in our Computex 2016 coverage of EVGA.

The ACX 3.0 libation has been updated in a few means which EVGA claims to exist critical to its operation gains. Of note, the fan blades in the ACX 3.0 fans are now marginally thicker than on ACX two.0. Theoretically, this reduces racket levels by reducing turbulence between the blades, thereby reducing vibration and its resulting 'whirr.' The fans use double-ball bearings, which is somewhat common in these coolers.

Like most vendors, EVGA's ACX cooler also spins down to 0RPM when the menu is under express power draw or thermal demand (through a born fan bend). This means the card generates effectively 0dB when under idle loads or lightweight gaming loads, east.g. DOTA2.

ACX iii.0 also makes changes to heatpipes. Dissimilar MSI, who have resorted to squared heatpipes toward the coldplate, EVGA is sticking with rounded heatpipes that have a "filling" in the corners between the heatpipe and heatsink. When nosotros asked if that filling is copper, we were told "something like that, aye."

The two fans are mounted atop a somewhat standard aluminum finned heatsink. The heatsink then sits atop a baseplate, which uses thermal pads to cover the VRAM and MOSFETs/VRM components.

As far as visuals, EVGA'southward updated the face of its ACX graphics cards. ACX 3.0 is accompanied with LED backlighting for the meshed locations on the menu. Some cards use RGB LEDs, but the SC sticks with white LED backlights.
