Asus Republic Of Gamers Strix GTX 1070 Aura RGB OC

The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 21c – a comfortable environment for the majority of people reading this. Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes. Load measurements were acquired by playing Rise Of The Tomb Raider for 90 minutes and measuring the peak temperature. We also have included Furmark results, recording maximum temperatures throughout a 10 minute stress test. All fan settings were left on automatic.

The three fans only start to spin up when theAsus Republic Of Gamers Strix GTX 1070 is placed under moderate or heavy load. When the temperatures rise to 58c then the fans spin up quickly. When gaming, the Asus Republic Of Gamers Strix GTX 1070 runs 16c cooler than the reference Nvidia GTX1070 Founders Edition card.

We install the graphics card into the system and measure temperatures on the back of the PCB with our Fluke Visual IR Thermometer/Infrared Thermal Camera. This is a real world running environment playing Rise Of The Tomb Raider for extended periods of time.

The cooling system is fantastic and the Asus Republic Of Gamers Strix GTX 1070 runs both cool and quiet under load. We recorded ‘hot spots' around the 55c mark after extending gaming sessions.

  1. beast card, cant wait for the 480 to compete with this one if ever.

    I would have liked to see a witcher 3 benchmark, but hey that’s just me.

  2. WINvidia or AMDream

    Just wanted to point out that the table in the introduction for the Memory speeds is wrong.

  3. oh yeah and the 1440p benchmark for GTA 5 shows the g1 1080. wut

  4. WINvidia or AMDream

    I think they should have had some proof reading done on this. lol

  5. Just a suggestion, but the release of this new generation of card with plenty of VR specific stuff could be the perfect opportunity to include a VR test in your review.

    I’m quite interested in 1070/1080 despite no game using the SMP features yet, but there is almost no VR review with “real” games on most of professional reviews on the internet.

  6. sorry, its fixed. ive been testing the new AMD card alongside this for another review and that was a code error showing a graph from an earlier review — no excuse, but fixed!

  7. THe 480 is a 200$ card, which AMD has said will offer 970 / 980(non-Ti) performance levels. That’s pretty good for a 200$ card, but can’t compete with this…which is a 380$ card.

    I think AMD’s idea is to crossfire the 480’s to give you just a bit better than the 1070.
    (Though with the AMD driver issues it may not be ideal. eg The division)
    That would be 400 dollars (2x4gb model)

  10. Yes, but it is nothing interesting SLI 960 for cheap will beat expensive 980. So cheap 480 will bet expensive 1070 even 1080.. same as future SLI 1060 will beat 1080

  11. I basically make around $6.000-$8.000 monthly working from home online. For anyone prepared to work easy freelance work for 2-5 h a day from your couch at home and earn valuable income for doing it… Then this work is for you… ULINKS.NET/45fc0

  12. And? SLI / Crossfire performance isn’t 1:1, and 7/10 games don’t come with support.

    Hell, some games don’t get Crossfire support for up to 6 months.

  13. STILL more expensive than the NVidia stock 1080 RRP! Jeeez!

  14. I think I’ll buy this, for me the extra 10 fps you can get with a 1080 is not worth the extra $200.

  15. You dont help enough when you mesure the power consumption from the whole system. There are many complaints if the card with only 1×8 pin connectord draws all 150 watt from the connector and stays safely within limits from the power also needed of the pci -e slot. Other vendors like evga and msi making cards with 8+6 pin connectors doesnt need to draw from the pci slot at all? Because the way i see it that would be a better design than the reference one

  16. Nott in my country. The stock 1080 costs around 250 euros more here.
