Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8 GB Mini Graphics Card - Black

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.

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

This review is not about the graphics quality of the card. I've used it for one evening only; the picture seems crisp and clear, frame rate at high settings is fine, and it is not noisy - so all in all, at the price, a good graphics card. Under Linux, The Witcher 2 and Unreal Engine 4 run satisfactorily, while under Windows The Witcher 3 runs at 1440p on high settings with good frame rate. The problem is fit. This doesn't matter, of course, if you have a big case, but I don't. For a start the card, although short, is substantially thicker than other dual slot cards I've used, but much more seriously the power connector sticks up 20mm above the card, and if you don't have clearance above the card bay (I don't) it isn't going to fit. See pictures above. I'm obviously not going to get the case fitted, so I'm not sure what I will do.

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.

Bought to replace a GTX 960. easy to install, no real issues regarding driver installation. Probably a bit of overkill for Photoshop, but 3D rendering much improved and other issues have been resolved. As with all these things, a bit of tweeking required but nothing too onerous. Together with a new M.2 SSD, my computer has had a new lease of life. The free copy of Fortnite included is a bit of a joke. Do adults really engage in this sort of junk? A quick look was more than enough for me.

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.

Bought this for £230 for my girlfriend's PC. It's quiet and is perfect for her 1080P system. Doesn't run hot at all (peaks at mid-70s in a poorly ventilated case, custom fan curve which maxes out at 70% - only slightly audible at this speed). Zotac offer an extended 5 year warranty (only 2 if you don't register in the first 30 days, so be on the ball) on their cards which is amazing and will probably outlast the card, which offers great peace of mind. Fully recommended.

It is really powerful graphic card I wish it wouldn't be so noisy

Tiene muy buen rendimiento. Trae varias salidas para distintos monitores, Es bastante silenciosa y no sube mucho de temperatura. Si la mantienes actualizada con el software oficial tienes una buena gráfica para mucho tiempo y para poder usar todos los juegos que hay. Recomiendo de forma positiva este artículo. Nota: 10/10

El rendimiento es maravilloso, pequeña, potente, y buen enfriamiento, poco consumo de electricidad, si quieres jugar a 60 Frames en 4K High settings / Medium settings es perfecta, en 2K Very High, y 1080 Ultra settings con todo activado MSSA x4 etc. Excelente desempeño, el servicio de amazon mexico me tiene maravillado, la compre un domingo 11:00 de la noche y el martes en la mañana la tenia en mis manos, recomiendo tener un procesador i5 4ta generación para arriba al menos para sacarle mayor jugo, un i7 4790K es excelente o un i7 7700K son los perfectos pero incluso con un procesador gama media logra en la mayoría de los juegos usar el 100% excepto en ciertos juegos que si generan cuello de botella en un 5% a un 15% deprendiendo el procesador (ejemplo i5 4440, i5 4460, i5 5440, etc)

Ho aspettato 2/3 mesi prima di recensire ed ho potuto testarla a fondo ...pienamente soddisfatto. Silenziosa, potente e mini. Installata senza alcun problema e subito riconosciuta dal sistema Win10 Testata con blender(anche se i driver sono ancora acerbi) e suite adobe, porta la produttività e la creatività su altri/alti livelli, in multitasking. ad es. mi trovo spesso in situazioni tipo: premiere in export, blender in rendering d'animazione, uso diretto di Ae e google chrome aperto con varie pagine youtube ecc., il tutto fila liscio senza problemi. temperatura massima in rendering 63° Per quanto riguarda l' aspetto videoludico, premetto che non gioco molto, però l'ho potuta provare con Fallout4 e Rome2TW, con tutti i settaggi al max: senza incertezze; il tutto su monitor 2k 29'' -nel testarla ho provato anche combinazioni assurde, tipo: esportare in premiere e contemporaneamente avviare fallout4, ecco, questa è una cosa che non può fare, visibili cali di frame durante il gioco.Ma stiamo parlando in ogni caso di una situazione di stress, credo, enorme e non raccomandabile(chissà con un i7 vicino..) Ovviamente la scheda necessita di hardware annesso di medio/alto livello per non avere "colli di bottiglia" nelle prestazioni; La mia è affiancata da un i5 4960K, asrock z97extreme6, 16gb di ram, ali xfx 550w effettivi (credo, uno dei migliori ali in circolazione) ed ssd Per finire se si registra il prodotto sul sito zotac si ottengono 5anni di garanzia, che non è poco!

Been using it since 2017 till 2025, works like charm. I can run all games 90-120 fps high settings. (On full HD)

Foi um ótimo upgrade. A placa mantém um clock de mais de 1800 mHz sem necessitar de OC. A temperatura se mantém sempre boa, nunca ultrapassando os 75. E a ventoinha mesmo no máximo não faz um barulho que incomoda, mas raras vezes ela fica no 100%.
