    I ordered one, so hopefully its accepted! I don't think it has asus international warranty. Just the amazon 30 warranty.

        gtx 770, so I should see some decent gains, although I only play boring games like Hearts of Iron IV, so I don't really need it, I just want one. Its not logical.

        • Thaal Sinestro on 28/07/2016 - 04:18

          At 1080, the 1070 will give you a 40% higher fps, and at 2560x1440 the gain is about 50%. You also have an extra 4 GB VRam, though I am not sure if there are currently any games that consume that much. Skyrim would if you had added lots of 4K textures - with mainly 2K textures and some 1K normal maps, it used up about 3.5 GB of VRAM.

    • dogboy on 27/07/2016 - 09:37

      7970 is a great card! I wouldn't bother upgrading to a 1070 as you won't see significant gains. You are probably still running everything on max settings with the 7970 anyhow.

      • ProspectiveDarkness on 27/07/2016 - 17:46

        Won't see significant gains? The 7970 averages about half the performance a 1070 does.

        • alucard147 on 27/07/2016 - 19:13

          that must be a huge A fan boy….

        • dogboy on 28/07/2016 - 11:57

          My point was that a 7970 can run most games at full 1080p res and still get great fps. Unless you are going to 4k, you won't see significant gains on a 1080p platform.

      • beyondtool on 27/07/2016 - 22:32

        I concur you are looking at double the performance. That's a decent reason to upgrade if ever there was one, just as long as you have the cash ready and feel the urge.

    • jt0505t on 27/07/2016 - 06:33

      Its actually more than 20 bucks.
      its $20 USD more expensive + more cost with postage
      $446.35 USD inc postage,594.683 AU

      $594 - $562 = $32 AU more expensive. ( both using XE Conversion)

      But hey yeah, I agree, the Gigabyte is a better cooler. But I guess its upto the individual to draw a line and say when is it too much to pay for gtx 1070.
      i'm content with just scraping into the gtx 1070, this card looks boring, but its going to be enclosed into the system and i'm just going to run at stock clocks and buy thirty-two $1 IPhone Covers from ebay.

  • EVA-01 on 26/07/2016 - 22:48

    Currently has two HD6950 in Crossfire. How much gain should I be expecting going for the 1070 (or even 1060)?

    • Dienk on 26/07/2016 - 22:59

      If your crossfire has good performace so the gain is around 100% at minimum. If it has not a good performace so the diference is brutal! It happens because your card at crossfire with a good performace stay at the same level of 960 gtx and this card is 100% stronger than this one.

    • Blitzfx on 27/07/2016 - 00:36

      no….
      I don't think the jump in performance is worth the $ gap between your card and the 1070

      • shinichiduy on 27/07/2016 - 00:53

        Thanks a lot. So the new generation is only worth the money if you game >1080p and >60fps right?

        • alucard147 on 27/07/2016 - 19:22

          if you going to 1080P and 144FPS gaming…yes you surely need to upgrade to at least 1070…since AMD RX480 are just…perform really really bad at this moment.
          lots of test also shows if you really want achieve that 144Hz fresh rate you need…a really good CPU as well…even at 1080P…

          but 1070 as my personal experiences ( Asus Strix 1070 + I5 3570K overclock to 4.2Ghz +DDR3 overclock to 2000Mhz) you can crash almost anygame in 1440P~~60Hz
          which makes this card great…only one game ultra will drop the FPS to around 50FPS sometimes ………..Witch 3….but with hairworks off and tree leaves set to high not ultra…. back to stable 60FPS to 82FPS….(my monitor is 1440P@90hz）

          if you stick with 1080P and not aiming to get ultra or 144FPS… do not upgrade…960 is enough for another 1 year…at that time the 1070/1080 will drop price and maybe new AMD cards will be released.

        • shinichiduy on 28/07/2016 - 14:04

          @alucard147: Thanks a lot for your advice. Probably I will stick with GTX960 for another year for now.

      • shinichiduy on 27/07/2016 - 00:52

        Thanks for your advice. My monitor is also 60hz max so I dont think I can get better than 60fps

        • Deviner on 27/07/2016 - 17:13

          +1

          @Deviner:
          turn off V sync will not get you better FPS
          the real FPS only depends on the monitor's panel…
          even you get 4000FPS in CS… if your monitor is 60Hz…it's 60Hz..

        • CircularIllusion on 27/07/2016 - 22:16
          +2

          @alucard147: Deviner is right. You will get a higher frame rate but your monitor just won't be able to take advantage of it. It's still worth getting a high frame rate as many games do calculations per frame. The display might not look any smoother but a frame rate higher than your refresh rate can still affect you in other ways like input lag. In GTA Online, the top speed of a car will be higher for players with high frames compared to those with weaker systems or those on consoles.

        • Deviner on 28/07/2016 - 00:56

          @alucard147: I was replying to a guy stating that, improving his graphics card won't make his FPS any better because "my monitor is also 60hz max so I dont think I can get better than 60fps".

          That screams of someone using a 60hz monitor with v-sync forced on… which is what I'm talking about - I'm not referring to monitor panels.

          If he were to have v-sync on, then yes, he would be locked at 60fps no matter how good his PC was.
          If he were to have v-sync off, then no, 60fps limit would be uncapped and he could potentially get higher than 60fps in whatever game.

          You are going off on a completely different tangent altogether about monitor panels.

          And using your own reference, go play CS with 60fps/60hz and then go and play CS with 100fps/60hz… there's a difference.

          But obviously, you'd want to be playing any game with v-sync on and as high fps and refresh rate as possible for the best experience.

    • Hornpub on 27/07/2016 - 02:39

      I would sell the 960and get rx 480 or even 1060 if you "want to step up" and "got the money". Really not worth it if it is going to affect your next lunch.

    ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 8GB ROG STRIX Graphic Card model is available to order - US$429

      Would this be better/similar in performance compared to the MSI? (AUD $572 @ 0.75US dollar)
      can an ASRock Fatal1ty H170 Performance Mobo handle this GPU?

      • alucard147 on 27/07/2016 - 14:23

        i got my ASUS STIX 1070 already
        if you say compare to the founder's edition..yes
        been tested almost every non-founder's 1070 cards whatever which manufacture beat founder's edition….
        the problem of founder's edition is the voltage set a bit low and that cooling system make the temperature wall to stop GPU boost to a higher level and also the noise level is higher's then traditional fan cooling system…

        but if you looking at ASUS strix or other Non-founders edition cards. they are more likely to be same performance ….
        unless there are super overclocked editon such as HOF or FTW or GAMING X edition… consider these are Tier 1 and Strix.. SC…OC..or other normal over clocked edition cards as Tier 2… and founder's as Tier 3 and Nvdia non founder as Tier 4….

      Those cards will be released at different price points, NVIDIA won't eat away at their own market unless AMD forces their hand

  • semice on 27/07/2016 - 13:10

    dumb quesion; but amazon havent charged my card yet? why would that be lol? (never purchased from amazon.com before)

    • jt0505t on 27/07/2016 - 13:11

      I made the purchase last night and they hadn't taken the money until this morning.

      • Alzori on 27/07/2016 - 16:32

        Are you sure you won't get a foreign transaction fee? On my debit card if I buy something with a foreign currency I usually get a good exchange rate straight away, but a day or two later I get charged a foreign transaction fee and it actually makes it more expensive than Amazon's exchange rate.

        • Carbon Door on 27/07/2016 - 16:45

          if you use a foreign exchange fee free card then you won't be charged the transaction fee, such as 28 degrees card

      they only charge you just before shipping out the item
      you can consider as if they can not ship out the item for whatever the reason is..
      they won't charge you.
      once your oder is ready to ship. they will charge you for 100%…..don't worry…

    • Mr Bear on 28/07/2016 - 09:08

      have you got charged yet? I haven't.

      I bought around 8am tomorrow morining…

  • Deviner on 27/07/2016 - 18:31
