Overall and Final Verdict

So with the EVGA GTX 1070 SC Gaming ACX 3.0 not being the first GTX 1070 to come into the office there weren’t too many surprises in our normal in-game and synthetic benchmarks. The 1070 Superclocked performed extremely well in all of them, showing once again that the GTX 1070 is currently the second best card on the market. I was however surprised to see EVGA come in and not follow the direction that it seems like every other manufacturer has been going with their coolers. EVGA kept the Superclocked down at a respectable height and length being as close to a Founders Edition in size that you can get. It's funny actually, EVGA was one of the first to go huge back in the day with their Classified cards. Anyhow, even with the smaller cooler they managed to outperform the Gigabyte 1070 both in cooling and noise and get really close to the MSI with its huge fans as well.

EVGA’s new ACX 3.0 cooling is also going to get attention visually as well. While I think that some people are going to hate it, I know I was really digging the new look. I like the dual plate design, I doubt seriously that these cards will ever sag. The shroud also has moved back to metal as well. The top and side of the card also has lighting though I do wish they would have included RGB lighting on all of their cards, not just the FTW edition. The white lighting is going to go with just about any build, though. Beyond that the other issue I had was with the general card availability though taking a look right now I am starting to see a few come back into stock. Hopefully, it will be easier to pick the GTX 1070 Superclocked up soon. It’s a great card and I think it is an improvement in every way over the Founders Edition 1070 that is priced at the same price point. I wouldn’t say that about any of the other GTX 1070’s as I normally feel like the Founders Editions do typically stand out in quality even though their cooling and overall performance isn’t as good. The EVGA cards this generation seem to be the cards to beat!
