My dad is flying to the US soon this week, he'll be near Washington so he can buy the card using his credit card and buy online, he recommends using Amazon, i dont know if New egg has the free shipping. My new max budget is $460, im looking for the best Value and most reliable
Here are my final thoughts on the cards i reviewed so far, EVGA SC has a bit higher temps , but the FTW is better because it has:
- More power phases
- Dual bios
- RGB LED's
- First card in the range with hand picked silicon.
Considering this is FTW worth the extra $? I think FTW>DT . IMO this is the best EVGA below $460right now:

Now lets focus on the MSI gaming x, I have my doubts about it due to some artifacting issues there was back in august, have they fixed that? but i think this shoudlnt be an issue anymore. https://m.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/4wh8jc/msi_officially_announces_gtx_1070_quality/
About the space in the case im a bit constricted cuz im forced to use the lower PCIE slot, i broke the upper one some time ago in an accident . http://imgur.com/a/OW6Sz#0 , i hope ill be able to put the card under there and not choke it with the PSU.
Another good card is Asus Strix and its very similar to MSI gaming x in perf and temps, these 2 are on top of my list as well. I if were to choose a 1070 between Evga , MSI , Asus . which one you think is the best choice? We'll have to consider all the specs OC capacity, cooling ,reliability and specially warranty, I come from Chile so global warranty is important in case there is problems or there's need to RMA.
I look forward to hearing from you
Thanks in advance
