Conclusion

Nvidia geforce GTX 1070 is great graphics card for 1440p gaming. The user can freely experiment with the new Nvidia features, and we believe it has enough future-proof gear under the hood to drive whatever comes next. If you are prepared to make some sacrifies such as lowering anti-aliasing and other effects, the GTX 1060 offers a much cheaper route into 1440p gaming. In any case we see great improvements over previous Maxwell geneartion. The new Pascal generation is using a smaller manufacturing process, which helps to increase performance while reducing power consumption, in the GTX 1070 FTW case to maximum 225W.

The EVGA GTX 1070 FTW ACX 3.0 graphics card is not the fastest factory overclocked GTX 1070 graphics card, but if we look at the overall package, including cooler design and overclocking performance, this may be the best. Lower performance compared to other factory overclocked GTX 1070 graphics cards comes from the fact that EVGA did not overclock the memory, like Gainward. But the card’s base clock is 101MHz higher that the GPU base clock of the GTX 1070 Founders Edition, so you will see extra performance right out of the box. The new ACX 3.0 cooler looks great and performs great; literally it is quiet in all working scenarios.

Until recently the GTX Titan X (Maxwell) was a dream card for the gamers, but it cannot cope in terms of gaming performance and power efficiency with the new GTX 1080, and even the GTX 1070 is faster.  

The EVGA GTX 1070 FTW is powerfull graphics card, ready to conquer the 1440p gaming battlefield. Go for it if you can afford it, with this horse you can win the battle.
