it will not matter much
just get a 1070 which is economically priced
such a 375 to 400 usd
micron is not bad compared to other memory brands such as hynix
micron can easily do 31 mhs eth
Topic: Which GTX 1070 to buy? (Read 107 times)
There is no "best" 1070 card... only lots of opinions. Some will have better cooling than others, maybe better memory, but really they are all so close in performance that it really doesn't matter. You are also subject to the "silicon lottery"... where two cards of the same model will hash slightly differently. You get optimal performance by tweaking the power limit, GPU and memory clocks... not by purchasing the perfect model card.
I think I'd like to buy a bunch of GTX 1070 GPUs based on their efficient hashing. Seems as though most people say that Samsung memory is the best to get, but trying to get a card with Samsung memory seems difficult.
Also it seems as though sometime in mid 2016 manufacturers started switching from Samsung to Micron memory due to shortages.
Questions:
1) Which manufacturer / model of card would you recommend for optimal performance, quality and reliability?
2) Is there a way to identify cards that have Samsung memory? I saw a spreadsheet from MSI, but many here seem to prefer EVGA cards. Is there a spreadsheet of model / revision numbers for EVGA that shows which have Samsung memory?
Thanks,

1) I would go for the cheapest because all of them are same pcb 1070 its just a matter of factory overclock and cooling which we can adjust thru overclocking/underclock. For warranty EVGA got the best
2) No, there is no way you can determine the memory if its a Samsung or Micron
x2 on this, even the mini's have worked great for me and I don't have an issue with heat (living in hot climate). I wouldn't go cheap on cooling setup for 1080 ti's though, they get hot quick
