Asus Republic Of Gamers Strix GTX 1070 Aura RGB OC

Ashes of the Singularity is a real-time strategy game set in the future where descendants of humans (called Post- Humans) and a powerful artificial intelligence (called the Substrate) fight a war for control of a resource known as Turinium.

Players will engage in massive-scale land/air battles by commanding entire armies of their own design. Each game takes place on one area of a planet, with each player starting with a home base (known as a Nexus) and a single construction unit.

Performance in this Direct X 12 game is strong, averaging 66.4 frames per second. This is around 9 frames behind the GTX1080 Founders Edition, and slightly ahead of the reference clocked R9 Fury X.

  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.
