    Also beats Amazon's best price for a GTX 1070 period AFAIK.

  • Ok, I'll bite, in 25 words or less could somebody please tell me what dafuq 'Founder's Edition' means?

      Reference model by Nvidia with Blower Type Cooler.

      Means crappy cooling

        Not really if you got a case with bad airflow this blower style is better

          …and that's how things break

          With the popularity of small form factor cases exploding, blower style coolers are probably more relevant today than they have ever been.

          For me 'bad airflow' is as much as 'it's so freaking tiny and packed in there just isn't really any airflow'.

          My next build will be in a 10L or less volume case. Just saw this pre release review of one that has really got me interested.

          A blower fan isn't going to perform well if your airflow sucks, it's just going to help reduce ambient temperatures.

          Fix the airflow problem and avoid blower fans altogether.

          @StewBalls: Alright ballstew, a disagreement in one thread doesn't need to splash all over the site.

        • @Putnum: Hey, you do realise I wasn't the one who negged you, right??? I'm actually fairly indifferent to you, so get over yourself precious…I can absolutely guarantee you that you are entirely unimportant to me, I would have made the same comment to anybody here.

          It's a line from Archer FFS…as was the next comment by leftspeaker…you know, this new thing the kids are calling humour…look it up. :/

          Time to get over whatever butthurt I've clearly caused you in the past buddy…coz whatever it was, I don't even recall it.

          @Putnum: Typical…sigh.

      It uses nvidia's "reference" heatsink and fan design rather than their own design. I believe the gpu and memory clock speed is also set to the reference speeds but i could be wrong making it slower.

      As already stated above this is noisier than non-blower fan solutions but the design does push exhaust air out of the case rather than disperse it inside the case.

      Also my GTX 1070 just arrived in the middle of writing this \o/ \o/

      It means "REALLY GOD DAMN NOISY VERSION, DON'T BUY ME, BUY A PROPER VERSION WITH NICE BIG SLOWER QUIETER FANS, DO NOT BUY ME WIRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"

    • I know people have already answered your question but the cooler style generally is something you decide on depending on your case.

      on my mini itx that sits behind my tv I have a 1070 founders edition as its a silverstone rvz02 case and the blower sucks air straight from outside the case through vents and just pushes it out the back. A typical cooler would sort of blow the air around in the cavity the GPU sits in so it would recycle hot air.

      On my fractal design r5 I use a msi 980ti Gaming OC card which has a regular cooler because the case has really good airflow.

      I am not a PC Building expert or anything but you can read heaps online about how to sort of airflow inside a case.

      I went with 2 fans in the front pulling cool air in with a radiator on the top pushing air out that is connected to the cpu and an exhaust fan at the back pushing air out. I ended up with a fan controller that controls the fan speeds. The top fan in the front changes its speed depending on cpu temp so it can pull more cold air that generally ends up being pushed out of the radiator and the bottom fan which points at the GPU is controlled by gpu temp.

      Someone somewhere will tell me I'm doing it all wrong but it works great.

    the founders are a secretive group of aliens. only evidence of their existence are the special 'founders edition' gpu's that are released by hardware companies. we can assume that 'the founders' like to get their new graphic card architecture before others and the marketers at firms like leadtek, asus and gigabyte are aware of this.

    • Are you sure? I thought the Founders were a secret elite group of Freemasons

  • I'm having trouble fitting mine into my mid tower, any suggestions on a good case?

    • +5

      Fractal Design R5/ Define S

      • I have the R4 and my evga 1080 FTW easily fits. Do recommend Fractal Design.

      • Personally I've found the Thermaltake F51/31 drastically improved on a few flaws with the r5
        Particularly air filters and a few modularity things

        • I've had zero problems with the R5… Air filter included

        • @educalifa: Probably the lack of filter if you plan to use the top for a radiator/intake. Thermaltake's bottom filters was a downgrade otherwise.

        • @TheContact:

          I just can't see a good reason to use the top for intake as physics dictate the hot air will rise. Then again, you can still make your own filter as it's like 1/10 on the grade of difficulty.

        • @educalifa: Once you add in fans, the effects of convection within the case are pretty much non existent. Fans move so much more air in comparison.
          Regardless of ease of making your own, it's still a point in favour of Thermaltake here.

        • @TheContact: fans are important, obviously. But it is still more efficient to work WITH the physics than against it. Plus you don't buy a R5 to stick a ton of fans on it… it's a 'silent' case after all.

    • NZXT S340 Mid Tower Case (bought one recently and looks great and is perfect in all aspects)

      Phanteks Eclipse P400/P400 S

      • yes the s340 is a great case. bitfenix make a neocase in white with coloured grill for under 100. fractal design are overpriced…but great for the sleek square look everyone is namedropping

    • Phanteks Evolv ATX Tempered Glass Edition

    • My NZXT S340 fit this bad boy easily, looks really pretty.

      Absolutely correct. Come on ebay, get some group buy deal going for GTX 1080 when this 20% coupon is on !

    Non founders addition that someone posted in the last thread like this. $15 more http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MSI-GeForce-GTX-1070-Gaming-8G-4K…

    worth noting down for new buyers is that over the next year you will see the GTX1070 drop in performance VS AMD as each new game using DX12/Vulkan comes out.

    The AMD R9 390X that can be had for $399 is already beating it and RX480 is close behind Prices will tank once Vega comes out. Just trying to save people some money.
    If you want this to only play DX11 games and will upgrade to a faster DX12 graphics card later on then its a good buy.

    http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/deus_ex_mankind_divided…

    • +4

      Mankind Divided DX12 performance is a bad metric. It's just off all round when it comes to gameplay rather than the in-game benchmark. Besides, average FPS doesn't tell the whole story:

      http://techreport.com/review/30639/examining-early-directx-1…

      The R9 Fury X turns in an average FPS result that might make you think its performance is on par with the GTX 1070 once again, but don't be fooled—that card's 99th-percentile frame time number is no better than even the GTX 1060's. Playing DXMD on the Fury X and RX 480 was a hitchy, stuttery experience, and our frame-time plots confirm that impression.

      • Sounds like a techreport is a nvidia sponsered website because either it is full of it.. Or all the other 100 tech reviewers are lying.. Somehow i think i trust 100 vs just 1.. Nuf said

        U will SEE allot of Nvidia downplay damage control with every Dx12/vulkan game to come out up until Vulta is released.. Its just the way Nvidia is..they have great marketing and review guidlines that must be met by any tech website if they wish to continue to recive new free review card samples

    • The AMD R9 390X

      I only looked at the first page but am I correct in saying it beat it once in one benchmark and by 1 FPS?

      Kinda weak evidence if so lel …

      I didn't look beyond the first page though.

    • +1

      You're right about DX12 performance on AMD being much better than NVIDIA, however:
      1) The vast majority of games that people play are still DX11, where the 1070 crushes AMD at the same pricepoint (see Fury X)
      2) Vega MAY tank the price of the 1070, but that's what people were saying about the RX480…which was underwhelming to say the least. Plus, you really want to wait till Feb 2017 for a chance to save ~100 bucks? I'd rather buy now and enjoy it, than wait another 6 months and save a couple of dollars.
      3) Rumors are that the RX490 will be a dual-gpu card; bringing all the problems that SLI/Crossfire setups have such as stuttering etc. No thanks.

      • 3) Rumors are that the RX490 will be a dual-gpu card; bringing all the problems that SLI/Crossfire setups have such as stuttering etc. No thanks.

        Source?

    • I'm sure nVidia will optimise their Vulkan support once it's mainstream.

      • The lack of hardware features in pascal that nvidia ditched to slimline maxwel/pascal (same thing) is the reason for its high clocks great power usage but lackluster dx12/vulkan support… Nvidia Volta will have this sorted in 2017

        There is only so much drivers can do.

    • +1

      Yes AMD is trumping Nvidia on DirectX 12

    • GTX1060 outperforms almost everything that AMD has offered. If you want to truly slay the beast, you only need to bump up to the GTX1070 and AMD bites the dust pretty quickly.

      While being cooler, quieter and less power draw

      • -1

        In dx11 yes.. By 1—4fps. But in Dx12/vulkan rx480 is ahead by more then 25-30fps when the total is 75fps thats allot.

        Gtx680 was 20%faster then HD7970 when it was released.. Today the hd7970 is 30% faster.. The gtx780ti was 20% faster then x290 when it was released.. Today the x290 is 30% faster.. Nvidia just doesnt make future proof products.. Its fact and duesx and doom are alraady showing this trend..they are the tip of the first next gen API games with allot more to come.. Every new game will be DX12/Vulkan.. Nvidia wil be going backwards while amd will be going forwards. Until Nvidia Vulta hits :)

      You can enter your postcode here on the regular listing for an estimated delivery time.

      Eg On or before Mon. 19 Sep. to 4000 per eBay FAST 'N FREE or On or before Fri. 16 Sep. to 2000 per eBay FAST 'N FREE

      Seems they dispatch them pretty quickly.

      • but isn't the idea of a group buy that they all need to be purchased first?

        • Once this happens:

          Each Group Deal needs a minimum number of people to commit to buy before the deal is 'ON'.

          Then all purchases are final and paid for on the spot as a normal eBay listing. They seem to post them out as purchased as normal, rather than wait until the group buy is finished and ship them all.

          You can double check with the seller but they will probably take a while to reply, with the eBay sales on at the moment there could be delays but for the sake of their feedback/postage rating they should be posting them out quickly as normal.

        • how long til dis shit would get posted out?

          Soon as dey ready ya'll

  • Went up $20! Was about to buy one too!
    Dam, i actually prefer the reference coolers, i prefer hot air at the back of my case and not it in :P

    • It's still the same price, $700 minus 20% off code = $560.

      • You are right.
        I refreshed the tab and it was at $720. Re-clicked the link and its back down. Weird.

  • How is Leadteak Brand Warranty Servicing in Australia ? Was wondering if it is better and pay marginaly bit more and get the MSI one ? Which again raises the question how is MSI Warranty Servicing in Australia ? any one in here have any experience with Leadtek/MSI Warranty servicing in Australia ?

  • For those that purchased this is there a compatible trs receipt with it ie
    Full name
    Address
    'Tax invoice '
    Gst paid and abn

    I asked them buy they gave me a generic non answer to check my inbox…

  • am i correct in thinking the price of this deal was once $500 or am i just being delusional?

    • It's always been $560

      • I ended up buying two frozrs for SLI.

  • Ah succumed. Caved in and picked up the MSI GTX 1070 for $ 572 delivered. Should be a nice upgrade from my GTX 670.

  • Bought one, awaiting delivery now :)
