ASUS STRIX GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Review

Final Thoughts
Price
The Nvidia GeForce 1070 Ti series is priced right between the GTX 1070 and 1080, obviously. This is pretty reflective of the performance too, and it’s also quite a bit cheaper than the similarly performing VEGA 64, so I guess it’s priced pretty fairly at £485.28.
Overview
We’ve tested a bunch of Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti graphics cards so far, and while I was initially sceptical of them need to exist, I’m finding it pretty hard to hate them. Their performance is almost, and I mean very very closely matched to the GTX 1080. However, at a lower a price point and with plenty of overclocking potential, they’re easily the better value for money.
Vega Vs Nvidia
Budget not considered, if I were forced to pick a VEGA 64 or the 1070 Ti, I would be properly torn to decide. Both cards have some great benefits. However, this card is just straight up cheaper and performs about the same, making it a sure hit for many gamers. The latest model from ASUS blends amazing build quality, and a powerful cooler, making it easily one of the most attractive GPU on the market for under £500.
Added Value
While the design of this card isn’t anything new to ASUS fans, it’s a tried and tested look that’s still one of my favourites on the market. Add to that the obligatory RGB lighting for some added visual kicks, the fan-hub feature, zero RPM mode, and that lovely backplate, and you’re getting a lot for your investment. All 1070 Ti’s are virtually the same, so pick the brand and style you love the most and go nuts!
