What reviewers say
Reviewers find the GTX 1070 a strong 1440p card with performance near the previous generation's high end and improved efficiency. Demanding 4K games need reduced settings, and the Founders Edition carried a launch price premium. TechRadar tested MSI's overclocked Gaming X, so its quieter cooler findings apply to that board.
