Not long ago, Lao Huang of the NVIDIA nuclear bomb factory had released the latest three nuclear bombs of the Pascal family: GTX1080, GTX1070 and the just-announced GTX1060. These three nuclear bombs are far more powerful than previous generations. They also bring about a reduction in power consumption, which is really full of black technology. I believe that understanding the DIY tails all know that the performance of the public version of the GTX1070 graphics card is already on top of the GTX980Ti. What I bring to the tail this time is the non-public version of the GTX1070 graphics card from the colorful iGame series. In what areas does it have advantages over the public version? Lets come look.
This card belongs to the Flame Ares series in the iGame. Currently, only the Flames Ares series under the Rainbow iGame series has Pascal family graphics cards. As for the other two 9-series series and Ice Knight series, the Pascal family's graphics cards have not yet been introduced, but I believe that the name of the Flame Wars is more than the other two. More widely known.
Open the box, in addition to the necessary protection of the graphics card sponge, there are many things inside, in addition to the general instructions ah CD and other things, there is a black velvet bag, which will be?
It turned out to be a DIY tool kit that included pliers, knives, screwdrivers, etc., and different screw heads. This brings me back to my own GTX 560, which is also from the Rainbow iGame Flame Ares series. The accessories can be said to be clear.
Domineering appearance
Next, let's take a look at the graphics card! Compared with the calm atmosphere design of the public version of the graphics card, the non-public version of the colorful iGame GTX1070 flame god of war video card is even more "killing" some, perhaps with its "flame warlord" in the name of it!
This time, the colorful iGame GTX1070 Flame Wars graphics card uses a design called the i-MSD modular structure. There are four layers on the front, with the PCB board as the base, and the copper base drawing base, three 8cm high-volume fans and four 7mm heat pipes, which can improve the cooling efficiency of the graphics card. Of course, the cooling fan housing is replaceable and customizable.
The same i-MSD modular structure design mentioned above is also used on the backside. It is also divided into functional modules and appearance modules. The functional modules are officially named back-tensioned backplanes, which can enhance the overall fastness of the graphics card. Modules can be replaced or customized.
The front and back appearance modules can be customized. In fact, it is also designed to reflect the concept of "I-player. Customization" of the colorful iGame. At the same time, the front cooling module can be disassembled, and it is also convenient for the later cleaning.
"Ten" superior performance
Before the experience on the machine, we first take a look at the hard parameters of this colorful iGame GTX1070 flame war video card. The full name of this card is the colorful iGame GTX1070 Flame Ares X-8GD5 Top, with the public version of the GTX1070 graphics card specifications are as follows:
I installed this card on a host configured as an i7-4790K processor, a Gigabyte Z97X-GAMING 3 motherboard, a Kingston 8GB x 2 DDR3-1600MHz memory, an Intel 730 240GB SSD, and a Corsair VS550 power supply, using Fire Strike in 3DMark. Ultra test items to test the default frequency and overclocking of the graphics card, the score is as follows:
Scored before "One Button Overclocking"
"One-key overclocking" scored
The test result in SteamVR, which is 10.9, has been able to meet the current VR needs well, but just a few days ago (July 14th) NVIDIA launched a NVIDIA VR FUNHOUSE game on the SteamVR platform. With high effects, 2 GTX1080s are actually needed to run well. It seems that the potential of the video card in VR is still great.
I know that compared to the results of the test software, people prefer to see the performance of the GTX1070 graphics card in actual games. Regarding this part of the content, due to the time rush, I decided to stay until the next time to do the test, and here we also leave the tails. Think so. If you are hesitating to start GTX1070, or if you plan to start with a game and you don't know if you can run the highest effects, you can leave a comment. I will add it later in the test.
Colorful iGame GTX1070 flames of war video card continues this series of classic "a key BOOST", in the graphics card body has an overclocking button, when the button is not pressed when the state can reach 1683 / 1797MHz frequency, compared to the public version of 1506 / 1683MHz To be a lot higher.
SLI crossfire as a way to improve performance is the most direct and crude way it will appear on the GTX1070, but GTX1060 is not so lucky, the SLI of the public version of the GTX1060 graphics card is directly chopped, and it is expected that this will happen on non-public versions. So if you want to group Pascal family SLI party, GTX1070 will be a good choice for you.
Although the TDP is only 150W, I still see that the power supply interface of this colorful iGame GTX1070 Flame Ares graphics card is full of 8 + 8 = 16, which is also a bit terrible. We must know that the current version of the Pascal family are basically Just 8pin.
As for the I / O interface, including a DVI, three DisplayPort and an HDMI, and the public version is the same. I personally feel that if one of the DisplayPorts is changed to the HDMI interface, it will be more convenient when using a VR device such as the HTC vive.
When the VR device starts to boom, the graphics card will usher in a performance jump. Whether it is the jump from the GTX900 series to the GTX1000 series, or the next NVIDIA and AMD performance VR combat on their own graphics cards will enter a white-hot stage. It is natural for these consumers to benefit. In addition to the public version of the graphics card, in addition to performance in terms of performance is better than the public version of the general three-fan design also allows it to have better thermal performance.
At present, non-public version of the GTX1070 graphics card has gradually entered the market, Colorful i3Game GTX1070 flames of war video card price of 3299 yuan in many non-public version of the GTX1070 graphics card is a more affordable one, if you are considering the formation of a VR host It is a good choice.
