EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti FTW ULTRA SILENT GAMING Video Card Review

Videocards/VGA Reviews by stefan @ 2018-01-27

With the new GeForce GTX 1070 Ti FTW Ultra Silent Gaming video card, EVGA is proposing a high-performance solution for 1440p or even 4K with medium to high details. All card clocks are identical to the stock Founders Edition due to Nvidia locks, but the card can be overclocked as soon as you boot to the OS thanks to the dedicated tool. Thanks to the huge triple-slot cooling solution, the card remains very silent even during demanding titles or even when overclocked, which can be considered a great selling point.

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

The GTX 1070Ti GPU was launched on November 2, 2017 and was thought as a response to AMD’s RX Vega 56 but also fills in the performance gap between the GTX 1070 and the GTX 1080 vanilla. GTX 1070Ti is based on the same GP104 GPU as we could see with the GTX 1070, but with an increased CUDA core count (from 1920 to 2432); as the 1070, it does use regular GDDR5 memory instead of GDDR5X we do see on the GTX 1080.

 

EVGA has available no less than five 1070Ti SKUs, which do come with different specs in terms of available power phases and cooling systems:

 

 

 

The sample we are going to have a look at is the FTW Ultra Silent Gaming model, that sports a 08G-P4-6678 SKU, does house a dual-BIOS chip configuration, an ACX 3.0 cooling system, a 10+2 power phase configuration, 8+8 PCIe power connectors and can draw a maximum of 235W in load. The product does ship inside a medium-sized fully-sealed cardboard enclosure, with the usual EVGA box-art:

 

 

 

Right on the top layer, EVGA is advertising the Ultra Silent feature, along with the fact that the card performance can be further tuned with the EVGA Precision XOC overclocking utility:

 

 

 

On one of the package sides, we will get to see an exploded view of the included fans, along with some of the highlights:

 

 

 

The opposite side of the box does contain some words on the Precision XOC software:

 

 

 

Moving on, we will get to see the system requirements:

 

 

 

A more in-depth product information can be found on the bottom package layer; this area is also provided with a small window, so we can check if the box sticker does match the one fitted on the card:

 

 

 

 

Let’s take a look at what EVGA has prepared for us inside:

 

 

 

First, we will get to see a “Thank you” leaflet, along with the User Guide:

 

 

 

Inside the guide, we will spot the usual card installation instructions:
