1070 in da house, yo!
Sorry. Am excite. Here's the other part of my delivery from the US via the lovely, beautiful, fantastic Mrs Redd.
Sent her with a list of preferred cards, she came back with the Founders Edition saying the BestBuy salesman said it was the only one they had in stock. Not entirely sure if she was conned or not, but I'm not complaining.
Now to get it installed and tested. And then to decide what to do with the 970... any suggestions?

Nice mate, congrats. And please provide some performance charts and thoughts.Originally Posted by GregRedd
I got a few mates that may be interested if wanting to sell.
Quick 3DMark test more to check it's being recognised correctly than anything else:
30% - 40% increase pretty much across the board, except for the Physics-related measures curiously. (Could be something dodge with the driver I may or may not have installed properly)
Will rerun tests tomorrow once I've checked the drivers are okay and see if anything changes.

Yeah, that is peculiar, albeit marginal difference but still. You would think newer tech would surpass the older gen with regards to physics.Quick 3DMark test more to check it's being recognised correctly than anything else:

But overall quite impressive nonetheless.
The Physics score is the CPU portion of the test. Your CPU was having an off day compared to the last time.Quick 3DMark test more to check it's being recognised correctly than anything else:

Yeah, could just be a shitty setting.
[MENTION=15883]GregRedd[/MENTION], open up your nVidia control panel, go to the "Configure PhysX" screen (see below example)
Make sure your PhysX processor is set to either "CPU" or your graphics card. If it's set to "Auto Select" you can get odd results during benchmarks.
As I mentioned in my previous post. If you can run both cards on your MB, use the 970 as the dedicated PhysX processor.
Check the below :
To my understanding the physics portion of 3DMark has nothing to do with PhysX on the GPU. It is designed to load the CPU. If you can offload this test to the GPU via a PhysX setting, I'd be very surprised.
Nice BeoTek. Getting my Msi 1070 tomorrow!!!. Enjoy bud

Use the 970 as a PhysX card ;-)Sorry. Am excite. Here's the other part of my delivery from the US via the lovely, beautiful, fantastic Mrs Redd.

Congrats GregRedd, so I guess you saved a lot of money having it brought back for you. Stock of the 1070 and 1080 has been tight in the US, they predicted getting stock levels up by mid august so I doubt the BestBuy saleman was lying.Sorry. Am excite.

Rebeltech.co.za have been selling out like crazy but I see the past 2 weeks they've had a range of cards available now.
Yup! That's what I was going to suggest. Here's hoping you got a second pcix slot.
