Size Impedes Using Smaller Cases

ASUS has done an extraordinary engineering job on the ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce GTX 1070 O8G-GAMING video card. This video card is refined not only in its quality of high performing hardware components but its piercing sleek and clean appearance.

Believe it or not, NVIDIA's GTX 1080 was announced more than a quarter year ago and since then we've seen a steady launch cycle of custom versions. The same can be said of the GTX 1070, a slightly lower end card the still provides an almighty performance per dollar uppercut.

I was lucky enough to get an Open Box version for $390. Apparently it was hardly ever used, the former owner of it may have returned it due to the long size of it. Now, this is what I'm going to talk about today.

Whether or not that is what she said is another story entirely. Right off the bat I was worried about it fitting in my case, especially with all the reviews noting its length. Worry without cause as it turned out, finally this hulking case of mine proved its worth and it fit with minimal trouble.

Absolutely fantastic card. Fair warning, I have only had this card for a few weeks so I have not tested this as much as I should have. Pros_ - No coil whine but then maybe I got lucky. Runs witcher 3 on max settings (all NVIDIA hairworks settings on max) with little to no frame stutter.

ASUS ROG didn't need any introductions as it is one of the most popular among gamers and enthusiasts. With NVIDIA's new GTX 1000 series Asus brings a new ROG STRIX design, ROG STRIX GeForce GTX 1070 including the STRIX cooler with RGB Aura lighting and very healthy factory overclock.
