Verdict

The Asus Turbo GeForce GTX 1070 is a blower-style graphics card built on NVIDIA's 16nm Pascal architecture, featuring 1,920 CUDA cores, a base clock of 1506 MHz, and a boost clock of 1683 MHz. It is equipped with 8GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 256.3 GB/s bandwidth and a 150W TDP powered by a single 8-pin connector. Its main characteristics include a dual-ball bearing fan designed for a 4X longer lifespan, Auto-Extreme automated manufacturing for reliability, and a 'VR-friendly' I/O layout with dual HDMI 2.0 ports and dual DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. Pros include its compact dual-slot design ideal for small form factor builds or SLI configurations and solid 1080p gaming performance; however, cons include higher noise levels and thermal output characteristic of blower coolers compared to multi-fan designs, and its lack of modern features like ray tracing and DLSS.

What customers like about ASUS Turbo GeForce GTX 1070?

  • Excellent value for money, often costing significantly less than other GTX 1070 variants
  • Strong performance for 1080p and 1440p gaming, capable of running many titles at ultra or high settings
  • Blower-style cooler design is effective for small-form-factor cases or builds with limited internal airflow
  • Low power consumption (150W TDP) making it compatible with most standard 450W power supplies
  • Features dual HDMI 2.0 ports, which is convenient for connecting both a monitor and a VR headset simultaneously
  • Includes a subtle backlit logo and high build quality despite its positioning as a more budget-friendly model

What customers dislike about ASUS Turbo GeForce GTX 1070?

  • The blower-style fan can become loud or 'whiney' under heavy load or high RPM settings
  • Runs hotter than triple-fan variants, typically reaching temperatures between 75°C and 85°C during intense gaming
  • More prone to thermal throttling compared to premium aftermarket coolers if case airflow is insufficient
  • Aesthetically plain 'black box' design that lacks the extensive RGB lighting found on Strix models
  • Limited overclocking headroom compared to cards with more robust power phases and cooling solutions
