EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Whisper Silent Cooling graphics card

EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC Gaming

The EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC Gaming card targets gamers who want Pascal architecture performance with a factory overclock. It ships with a base clock of 1594 MHz and a boost clock of 1784 MHz. The 8192MB GDDR5 frame buffer handles 1440p gaming and virtual reality workloads. A 500W power supply is the minimum recommended unit.

Suits 1440p and VR builds, not 4K ultra

This model fits builders assembling a 1440p high-refresh rig or a VR-ready system without stepping to a higher tier. The ACX 3.0 cooler uses SHP 2.0 heat pipes and optimized swept fan blades for lower noise. Users chasing 4K ultra settings or ray tracing should look at newer architectures instead.

8192MB GDDR5 decides 1440p viability

The 8192MB GDDR5 memory capacity is the single specification that determines whether this card fits your target resolution and texture budget. It provides enough VRAM for most 1440p titles and VR applications at high settings. Less memory would force texture compromises; more memory would require a different GPU tier.
