THE GEFORCE GTX 1070 PHOENIX GLH 8GB

The black, red and yellow painted GeForce GTX 1070 Phoenix GLH 8GB graphics card measures roughly 285mm in length so it's just a tad longer than the Founders Edition model (266.7mm).

Gainward has used two 10cm fans with blades that feature special "grooves" which reduce air resistance and optimize airflow.

Beneath the two 10cm fans we find a large dual-heatsink cooler (first heatsink features a total of 59 while the second feature a total of 66 aluminum fins).

The company name is placed on a plastic plate at the top of the card.

Unlike the GeForce GTX 1080 that has a TDP of 180W the GeForce GTX 1070 has a TDP of 150W (both cards require just a single 8pin PCIe power connector).

A single metal plate covers the majority of the rear and obviously ads both to the looks and sturdiness of the card.

In terms of connectivity the GeForce GTX 1070 Phoenix GLH 8GB graphics card offers one dual-link DVI, three DisplayPorts v1.4 and a single HDMI v2.0 port (unfortunately this is a 3 PCI slot card)..

The company name is actually placed ontop of a LED which turns green when the temperature is low, blue when temperature is at medium levels and red when things are starting to heat up (the LED turned red only once during our tests).
