ZOTACZT-P10700G-10M NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8 GB Mini Graphics Card - Black

Excellent great value card when purchased, still giving excellent performance and good enough now to run latest games without any issues despite being superseeded by 3 new generations of Nvidia cards and the 5 year waranty given by zotac is just a great added bonus,

This card is great , its a mini card so is smaller then normal but for the size it is it still packs a punch , i have just upgraded to this from a Asus RX580 8gb which i have to say was a amazing card and looked great. Im getting atleast a 20fps or more increase which i am super impressed with , the card itself looks great , the only complaint i have is that it doesnt have a metal backplate , in my pc it is not visible as my graphics card is upright so you can view it but its still i feel a requirement for a graphics card at this price point to have a nice solid backplate.All in all a great card and look forqard to doing a review of it

Note: TLDR at the bottom.The 1070 is in an odd place on the GPU market.On one side, it's about 40-50% overkill for 1080p gaming.It's quite perfect for 1440p gaming (with 1440p being a very undervalued resolution)But lastly, it falls short on 4k gaming as you'd only be able to comfortably play with around medium-high settings while still holding 60 fps.The Zotac 1070 mini is surprisingly priced lower than most other 1070s (I got it for £350) and I really don't know why. It's the perfect GPU, with excellent thermals, good overclocking potential and very little power draw (you can run this with a 400w power supply).The main thing to note is that as games become more demanding, the 1070 will fall into the 1080p gaming world (will probably take about 2-3 years before it's considered a 1080p card).The best thing about this card though is it's tiny size.As you can see in the pictures, this thing will fit into any case (I have it in a Micro-atx silverstone case, and no it's not upside down. It's a weird case design where everything is backwards).The TLDR: Get this for 1440p gaming for 1-2 years or 1080p for the next 4-5 years without the slightest bit of problem.Power efficient and cooling for a Mini card is fantastic.

Review for: Zotac GTX 1070 MiniComing from MSI GTX 970 Gaming XAn obvious improvement in performance, so i'll skip that part. The silver parts of the shroud are metal, the rest is plastic. Stays under 75C under load in a mini ITX case Corsair 380T (Witcher 3 max settings with extra graphics mods @ 1080p). Is noticeably louder than my previous card mentioned above. Do keep in mind however that its size is smaller, so theres less heatsink space onto which the heat can be conducted, so the fans have more work to do. Overall however, noise asides, im very happy with this, a nice high quality GPU that gives some nice extra FPS with double the VRAM of a 970, perfect for space tight builds

Easy to install, the most insane price for performance ratio since the old 460's and at 1080p will run any game maxed out at 60fps without a problem. Haven't tested it above that but I don't see the point of going above 1080p on a PC monitor.If you haven't upgraded in a while and don't game at 4K save yourself the cash you'd spend on the newer models and get this asap before they sell out!

This thing is still going strong, i rarely turn my pc off and I have put this card through its paces over the years I am surprised it still works without issue after all this time and extremely heavy gaming use (5+ hours a day almost every day)Still runs everything in 2022 at acceptable framerates.

Temps keep really cool despite the size. Plenty of good heatpipes and a fantastic cooling solution keep this card cool and quiet

Fans were on full blast when I launched a game and wouldn't go back to idle when I closed it. Had to turn off my PC completely, restarting didn't even work.
