EVGA 08G-P4-5670-KR GTX 1070 Ti Gaming Graphics Card

Name: EVGA 08G-P4-5670-KR GTX 1070 Ti Gaming Graphics Card
Brand: EVGA
SKU: 08G-P4-5670-KR

Overview

The EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti GAMING is built on NVIDIA's Pascal GP104 die — 2432 CUDA cores, 8GB GDDR5 across a 256-bit bus, with a boost clock of 1683+ MHz before OC Scanner intervention. Those specifications place this card firmly in the 1080p high-ultra performance tier, with 1440p moderate-settings capability depending on title. The 8GB GDDR5 buffer remains the headline figure for longevity: at this clock speed and bus width, 8GB sustains current gaming at 1080p where title VRAM requirements haven't yet exceeded that threshold at medium-high texture quality. EVGA's PCB design provides thermal headroom for the card to sustain boost clocks under load without immediate clock-speed rollback, and OC Scanner's automated curve optimization makes extracting additional stable performance accessible to non-enthusiast builders.

The GTX 1070 Ti Gaming targets the performance-per-dollar builder who wants maximum 1080p frame rates from Pascal without the GTX 1080 price premium. White LED lighting keeps the card visually clean in a windowed build without RGB header connections or companion software dependencies. Pascal's age defines both its appeal and its limits: it predates hardware ray tracing, DLSS, Resizable BAR, and the architecture efficiency improvements of Ampere and Ada Lovelace. For a budget 1080p gaming build or a capable secondary system, it delivers reliable output. For a primary gaming rig targeting 1440p, maximum settings in current AAA titles, or future-proofing against the next two years of game engine demands, newer architecture is the more durable investment.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

8GB GDDR5 frame buffer sustains 1080p high-texture workloads without running into VRAM pressure at high texture packs — a meaningful advantage over 4GB and 6GB cards at this performance tier
1607+ MHz base and 1683+ MHz boost clocks deliver consistent frame rates within the GTX 1070 Ti performance envelope without requiring overclocking to reach advertised behavior
EVGA OC Scanner automates voltage-frequency curve optimization in Precision X1, surfacing a stable custom overclock with a single scan — no manual sub-curve tuning required
Pascal GP104 async compute support improves GPU resource utilization in DX12 and Vulkan titles versus Maxwell-generation predecessors at equivalent clock speeds
White LED lighting identifies the card visually in a windowed build without the addressable header requirements or software overhead of a full RGB implementation

👎 Cons

Pascal architecture has no hardware ray tracing capability — RT rendering modes in current and future titles are completely inaccessible on this card
No DLSS support — Tensor cores enabling AI-based super-sampling arrived with Turing (RTX 20-series); this card cannot use DLSS in any supported title regardless of driver version
256-bit memory bus caps total bandwidth at approximately 256 GB/s, which limits performance headroom at 1440p in VRAM-intensive shader workloads where bus width becomes the bottleneck
White LED lighting is fixed — no per-zone color selection or software-addressable RGB customization beyond basic on/off
No Resizable BAR or Smart Access Memory support — the PCIe bandwidth efficiency improvements that benefit current-generation cards in compatible platforms are not available on Pascal

Frequently Asked Questions

What resolution and refresh rate is the GTX 1070 Ti Gaming realistically built for?

1080p at high to ultra settings is the native performance tier — the 8GB GDDR5 and 256-bit bus sustain strong frame rates at 1080p with headroom for 144Hz in less demanding titles. At 1440p, medium-to-high settings are achievable in most games. 4K gaming is possible in some titles but runs into bandwidth and VRAM ceilings in demanding scenes.

What does EVGA OC Scanner actually do?

OC Scanner automates the voltage-frequency curve optimization process. It stress-tests the GPU incrementally to find the maximum stable boost clock for your specific chip, generating a custom OC profile without requiring manual voltage and frequency tuning in Precision X1. Most chips yield 30-50 MHz of additional stable boost above stock.

Does the GTX 1070 Ti support DirectX 12 and Vulkan?

Yes. The Pascal GP104 die supports DX12 Feature Level 12_1 and Vulkan, with async compute enabled in hardware. Async shading improves frame pacing in DX12 and Vulkan titles that make use of asynchronous shader queues, where Pascal's architecture handles them more efficiently than Maxwell-generation cards.

Can this card still be used for GPU-accelerated content creation?

For CUDA-accelerated workloads in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, and Blender (CUDA render path), the GTX 1070 Ti's 2432 CUDA cores remain functional. However, it lacks RT cores (no OptiX hardware ray tracing) and Tensor cores (no AI denoising), so current GPU-accelerated pipelines that depend on those features will hit hard limits compared to RTX-generation cards.

What PSU wattage is recommended for a system running this card?

EVGA recommends a minimum 500W PSU. Confirm your power supply provides at least one 8-pin PCIe power connector — the card's TDP and boost behavior under OC load draw consistently from the power supply, and a marginal unit will thermal-throttle or cause instability under sustained load.
