Good performance but very cheap feeling. Runs about 10°c hotter than my Asus 1070. I purchased this for mining and is sitting below my Asus card. It should be getting better airflow but doesn't seem to benefit from this. If you are looking for a card to get the job done and don't care about looks save some money and get this card. If not not spend a little more and get a better built card.

so after selling my GTX 960 2GB card I RAN up to my local Best Buy and found out this was the only 1070 they had in stock, so I bit the bullet, well got home installed it and bench marked and it performed as expected. well after benching it, I just happen to look online and found the FE card for $30 less! well I ordered that card and will return this one once I receive it! So this card doesnt have a backplate, that was a bummer for me, also like everyone else says the cooler feels cheap I would recommend this card to friends and family that don't care about the looks

I upgraded from an MSI 970 gtx and it has been night and day. I don’t have any benchmarks nor do I do any overclocking. This runs much quieter and I’m thankful Best Buy had this at MSRP when I need to replace the old card. I play the Batman Arkham series, some of the four year old Call of Duty games and some other!titles that date into 2017 at 1080p. I just bought a 144hz monitor (so hard to give an accurate review) but when I was running at 60hz it was still great. No driver issues or crashing issues like my old card. Running most of my games at the highest settings.

Customers are positive about the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 XLR8 Gaming Edition's performance, price, and quiet operation during gaming. Many appreciate its ability to handle demanding games and its relatively low price point. However, customers are negative about the card's cooling system, with some reporting higher-than-expected temperatures under load, and concerns were also raised regarding the build quality and fan durability.
