Im using a 24" asus 144hz monitor. High end 3d monitor and the 6600k. Takes everything the video card has to play bf4 and ark full out. Plays crysis 3 at about 60fps full out overclocked.
Card has brute strength in high end gaming; Has dual fans to keep it cool better than the traditional 1070
Gets a bit warm
Works perfect, quiet and cool! Update; Run SLI with two of these cards, both work great!
Overall a great card at a great price from a very reputable manufacturer which created the most popular GTX 970 design and carried this over to the 1070 Armor and 1070 Gaming. I think the Armor is an excellent choice for anyone looking to water cool a GTX 1070 as you get an upgraded power delivery...
Stock cooler allowed an OC of 2.1 GHz on the core and 9.1 GHz on the GDDR5! (Max temp: 71C) - Excellent Power Delivery Upgrade (8+1 w/ SFC chokes) from Founder's Edition (4+1) for the same cost! - Extremely silent cooling solution at stock clock speeds and moderately silent at OC listed above.
- Armor heat sink across the card doesn't cool as many components as the Gaming X design does (power delivery in particular) - Gaming X has slightly more OC headroom (slightly being the keyword) due to 2 additional power phases along with a slightly better cooler; - 1x 8 pin for power delivery vs.
I really like that the card is near silent even when running at 100% usage. The fan speed in game is usually around 55% or 1250 RPM at most. At 1080p, the card can run most shooters (Battlefield 4, Overwatch, Doom, and Call of Duty Black Ops 3) at around 150 fps or higher (max settings).
Quiet; Good performance; Runs cool
No backplate
