  I'd rather have the Asus personally for the same price

    This has a backplate. Not sure what difference that makes since the Asus one doesn't.

      Helps prevent / lessen GPU sagging.

    The Phoenix is one of the better 1070's on the market.

    Beats the MSI Gaming X comfortably in all benchmarks.

      Actually, that's the "GLH" which I think is slightly different to the one above. Gainward website lists them separately.

      EDIT: Actually, there's a significant difference in clock speed and GDDR5 vs. GDDR5X

  Why isn't this dripping in upvotes? Isn't the price only a few dollars above recent Amazon deals?

    I think I will pull the trigger on this one. GOW4 included and add in the recent Commbank Credit Card $250 cash back. It's a steal.

  Is it worth an extra $60 to get the Asus 1070 Strix OC?

    Most of Pascal generation is the same. Just pick the cheapest one. Moreover Gainward Phoenix is the high-end of Gainward GTX. So either way, you can pick this one to save up 60 bucks or you can to for Strix if you wanna be bright with Brand name.

    For me, I just order Gainward to save 60 buck. I can use 60 buck on other part like SSD or new Monitor

    I hear they all overclock pretty easily to match or go above the factory-overclocked cards

  Would have preferred the Gainward but it's too long for my case. So I'll have to end up getting the Asus. Being the shortest of the full size cards. Max length video card I can fit in my case without removing and loosing one the 3 bay HDD cages to make room for a longer card is 27cm.

  I bought the Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming the first day of this sale. How would I go about redeeming the code for GOW4?

  Frustratingly the ASUS Game Promotion Authenticator doesn't appear to be working for a lot of users (including me).

  • 

    docbj on 30/10/2016 - 00:28

    OK so I was having the exact same issue trying to redeem. I realised my mistake, follow my steps:

    1) download and run the promotion authenticator. DO NOT click the "ACTIVATE" button
    2) type your serial and PPID WITHOUT dashes
    3) click the activate button
    4) Success!

      I think the ASUS GOW4 redemption portal is till broken. As I completed all steps last night to register my recently purchased GTX 1070 dual card and still haven't received any code. Also tried again this morning with same result.

      Status of redemption also fails "no record of redemption. please redeem again"

      Hopefully they will still honour the redemption ofter after the closing date. Since there redemption page is clearly not working correctly.

        Damn you're right, no redemption record for me either.

        @BTRaynes:
