Đánh giá asus gtx 1070 rog strix năm 2024

We review the ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 Ti STRIX Gaming edition. With that familiar triple fan look, we review and test the Republic Of Gamers card from ASUS which comes all custom cooled and a revamped custom PCB design.

A multitude of Pascal based processors has been released, among them the GeForce GTX 1060, 1070, 1080 and 1080 Ti. All models honestly are equally impressive within their product positioning and segment. With QHD gaming (a screen resolution of 2560x1440 pixels) I've always felt the GeForce GTX 1070 always has been the more attractive product due to its price level, while the 1080 cards are really what everybody wants (but perhaps cannot or will not afford). The good news though is that Nvidia has designed a product series that will fit smack down in the middle of these two, at what we hope will turn out to be an attractive enough price. Nvidia has enabled this new 1070 Ti GPU with 2,432 Shader processor cores (also referred to as Cuda and Stream processor cores). That number quite honestly means it's very close to the GeForce GTX 1080. However, Nvidia has "limited" the product series two ways. First off, the 1070 Ti will use "regular" GDDR5 memory and not the all newer and snazzy GDDR5X type of graphics memory. Secondly, to prevent the 1070 Ti series to cannibalize the 1080 products, the cards all get a fixed clock frequency, and that means an equal clock frequency for all board partners. Now that doesn't mean you cannot tweak these cards yourself, contrary they tweak really well into the familiar 2 GHz domain on the dynamic boost clock to bring in that bit of extra gaming value. However, AIB partner cards, no matter what model you purchase, will get the same clock frequencies at a 1,607 MHz base clock with a 1,683 MHz dynamic boost clock.

A fixed base-clock doesn't mean it's a little beast though, contrary, as for Nvidia to enforce this measure means there's plenty of pixel horsepower under the hood. In fact, so much they had to temper it. However it remains to be a product series sitting in an already saturated product series from Nvidia, and that will pose some issues as little is new for its performance bracket and features. So how different is the GeForce 1070 Ti compared to it's bigger brother the GeForce GTX 1080? Well, the GTX 1080 GPU (GP104-400) has 20 Shader clusters. The GTX 1070 Ti (GP104-300) has 19 Shader clusters enabled, that's a total of 2,432 Shader processors and only 128 shader processors lower than that of the GeForce GTX 1080. The clock speeds of the GTX 1070 Ti are higher than the GTX 1070 but fairly similar to the GeForce GTX 1080 at 1,607 MHz and a 1,683 MHz GPU Boost with 8.00 GHz (GDDR5 data-rate effective) memory clock. The TDP is 180W, also similar to the GTX 1080 and all these facts combined means we have a product in the 8 TFLOPS perf range here, and that is substantial.

The STRIX series has a triple-slot design with a triple-fan cooling solution. Embedded as well as a funky LED lighting system, everything about this product states 'premium' really. Up-to 60 Degrees C the card will even stay in passive mode, e.g. the fans will not spin. The GTX 1070 Ti STRIX comes with just one 8-pin power connector. At the backside, you'll spot a nice matte black solid backplate with RIG themed logo. The ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 Ti STRIX 8G is capable of clock frequencies of 1,607 MHz base clock with a 1,683 MHz dynamic boost clock with 8,192 MB GDDR5 / 8000 MHz effective data-rate on the memory. By using their proprietary tweak software you can, however, have a default OC, but that requires the software to be active at all times. We'll test the default way, the way the card is clocked straight out of the box. We have enough to talk about and to show, let's dive into the review, shall we?

Following our coverage and benchmarks of the Zotac GeForce GTX 1070 Ti AMP! Extreme, let's take a look at another 1070 Ti GPU in this class from Asus. It's the company's ROG Strix model (See it on Newegg), making it a very close cousin to the company's GTX 1080 Ti.

It is exactly the same size, has the same features, and is identical aside from the GPU nestled inside. It's the top dog, in other words, and at $499 MSRP it's $50 more expensive than the base 1070 Ti models, so that's the price you pay for the huge cooling apparatus, LEDs, and Asus' premium components. This is also the same price as the Zotac AMP! Extreme model we reviewed, so this price point seems to be the high-end of the GTX 1070 Ti market at this time. Let's take her for a spin, shall we?

Design and Features

If you've seen a high-end Asus GPU in the last year or so this GPU will no doubt look familiar. Companies develop a set of technologies then add or subtract them from their cards based on pricing and positioning, and as a ROG Strix card this GPU has all of the bells and whistles Asus has at its disposal. It's designed to run quiet even under load thanks to a massive cooler and its MaxContact heat spreader, and it'll look good while doing so with RGB lighting. Before we get too far into the weeds though, let's take a look at the spec chart.

The star of the show is its huge size, as it could be easily be mistaken for a GTX 1080 Ti. It's a tad bit smaller than the massive 2.5 slot Zotac at 11.7" long, and it only takes up two PCIe slots. It also only requires a single 8-pin PCIe power connector, whereas the Zotac requires two 8-pin connectors. The only other difference between this GPU and the Zotac we just reviewed (aside from the clock speeds) is that this GPU has two HDMI ports instead of one, but it is otherwise identical in terms of specs.

Software

You have to use two pieces of software to get the most out of the ROG Strix - GPU Tweak for monitoring and overclocking, and Aura for the LED effects. It's a minor pain that they aren't combined, but it's not a major drawback. The Aura LED app is very straightforward and presents you with basic options to control the lighting. It's super easy to use and I like that you can also choose to have it change the LED color inline with the temp of the GPU.

Benchmarks

Having just tested our first GTX 1070 Ti card, I was eager to see how the ROG Strix would compare. To find out I squeezed it into the IGN test bench, which is outfitted with an Intel Core i7-7700K CPU, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, an Asus mobo, Intel SSD, and EVGA power supply. I ran tests in DX11 and compared it to the other 1070 Ti as well as the RX Vega 56, GTX 1070, and GTX 1080.

Generally when comparing two GPUs from the same family but different manufactures, the performance will be the same, but the differences come down to software, design, lighting, and doo dads like Asus' Fan Sync feature, which isn't found on other GPUs. At the same time, this GPU is lacking the illuminated Push The Limit logo on the Zotac, which is a good thing. So in this batch of tests, I confirmed the Asus card performs exactly the same as the Zotac card, and I think it's safe to say both of these GPUs represent the maximum performance we will see from this family of GPUs due to their price point and clock speeds.

Overall, the Asus ROG Strix performed extremely well, and at 4k was nipping at the heels of the GTX 1080, and even beat it in a few benchmarks by a handful of frames (So did the Zotac card, to be fair). Plainly speaking, this card is a beast, and clearly one of the fastest GTX 1070 Tis on the market.

Overclocking

Using Asus' GPU Tweak II software, I started with a one-click overclock to OC Mode, which took the Boost clock from 1,885MHz up to 1,954Mhz without any drama. That is pretty good, and about average for a high-end Pascal GPU. I then went into the "professional mode" to continue my fiddling and in the end I had moved the GPU offset slider all the way to the right of the line available. In other words, there was no more clock to over (see below). The resulting clock speed was 2,050MHz, which is better than average but not an incredible result.

If you recall the Zotac AMP! Extreme got up to 2.11GHz, but in reality none of this matters too much as the performance delta from 1.9GHz to 2.1GHz is usually quite small. I ran a few tests with it overclocked at 2.05GHz and found it made a three percent difference in Heaven, no difference in Shadow of Mordor, and four percent difference in Tomb Raider. That's still pretty good as far as "free" performance goes, however. Also the highest temperature I saw this card run overclocked was 64C, which is quite chilly.

The Asus ROG Strix GTX 1070 Ti performs at the top of its class, and is whisper quiet even under full load thanks to its bulky form factor. The lighting is sweet as is the fan syncing feature, making it one of the best GTX 1070 Tis available. At $500 it's priced equivalent to lower-end GTX 1080s though, just like the Zotac AMP! Extreme, making it a tough sell. Still, compared to a high-end GTX 1080 it's a heck of a deal. I think it has slightly better features and lighting than the Zotac card, so get this one if you have $500 burning a hole in your PCI Express slot.
