core is boostable without issue, just end in a crash if too much, but mem if you abuse the oc too much it can damage them, you can tell that by a possible persisting artifact

So as long as card is cool, core can be risen ? And according to you what's the best card ?

g1 gaming palit gamerock and jetstream are among the best, i would avoid asus and msi, and there was some problem with zotac too

So Zotac is not good ? That's sad, because the AMP! Extreme seemed a very good plan and was in promotion in a webshop. What make the card good or bad ? Only its cooling performance ?

AMP extreme is a beast, stays cool

Never look at the set clock, you set it yourself, for a clock to hold you need good cooling
Its that easy just get the cheapest card with good cooling

few week ago here cheapest was Gainward phoenix which maybe had a top range cooler, better then MSI gaming crap and better then giga G1

So what's the best card ? The KFA2 has pretty nice fans I think, but I'm probably not an expert in that domain I think.

I've had good luck with most PNY cards over many years, but they don't seem to be designed for high-end miner usage on their cooling systems.
MSI has a pretty good rep for mining.

I would AVOID founder edition cards, you're paying a premium for an INFERIOR cooling system and a non-factory-overclocked card with LOWER performance.


Gigabyte Windforce, Sapphire, and EVGA have been my go-to preferences.

I'm not paying a premium, because the only cards that are cheaper are the KFA2, the Gainward and the MSI Turbo that has probably problems of cooling.

Just don`t get MSI gaming 1070 they are dieing like flies, good choice would be:
Gainward phenix , Palit gamerock
Gigabyte G1
EVGA AMP, etc

Don't buy cheap basic model, they will boost less and you will lose 3-5% on hash rate

I never boost my cards as I fear to prematurely make them die.

The KFA2 as a pretty high clock compared to the other ones :

KFA2 :

Base : 1 594MHz
Boost : 1 784MHz


Gainward :

Base : 1 506MHz
Boost : 1 683MHz


Gigabyte :

OC Mode :
Base : 1 620MHz
Boost : 1 822 MHz

Gaming Mode :
Base : 1 594MHz
Boost : 1 784MHz


Asus Strix :

Gaming Mode (by default)
Base : 1 531MHz
Boost : 1 721MHz

OC Mode
Base : 1 506 MHz
Boost : 1 683 MHz

I'm hesitating to which 1070 go for for my next build, featuring 4 cards in a an intern build. For now, I had KFA2 cards, very cheap and very powerful compared to most of the other cards according to the caracteristics. I was however thinking about PNY, a MSI or maybe Inno3D Founders Edition cards, as I love their design. What do you think of those cards ? Can you suggest something else ? Thank you by advance Smiley !
