Zotac GeForce GTX 1070 Mini - Review 

I never comment on Videos, but I have to say, I absolute love your Videos. They are the most informative of all of RU-vid. Don't get me wrong, I too like LinusTechTips and JayzTwoCents and so on very much, but if you need the best and most information available on a certain piece of tech, this channel is where you go to. Keep on the great work!

bruh this is the best review ever, very well put and detailed. I NEVER COMMENT ON VIDEOS, I SPECIALLY SIGNED IN TO WRITE THIS COMMENT FOR YOU. thanks buddy.

you're nuts for doing all your vids in one take tech deals. i'm guessing you use to present alot of info for a certain profession in the past?

very organised video and descriptions....

i want your voice on a gps =]

A teenie 1070! I wish I could get a 1080 in this size...

Still wish I could have afforded a 1070 instead of the 1060 6GB. Maybe someday soon although I have been pretty impressed with the MSI Gaming X 1060 6GB.

this guy deserves more Likes and Subs. very throughout info

It sucks that the prices for most PC components cost almost the same everywhere but graphic cards cost like $100-200 more outside US.

Thank you for helping me choose which card to get! Your videos are so helpful :)

Great review! I've always been aware of the drastic price increase for 1 or 2 frames when it comes to the top of the top end of cards, but things like adding an extra fan or power connector just to look more expensive was never something I'd considered. Just ordered a Zotac 1070 mini and can't wait!

4:32 damn that was smooth :D

Your teeth are brighter than my future

You are supplying details that other video card reviewers just don't think about but are very important. Like the power connector issue. Nice review, I've reviewed to see more!

Best reviewer in youtube hands down.

Any time I have a tech related question I come to this channel. No other channel goes into this much detail and answers all my questions. Not even LTT. Love your channel and cant wait to see how successful it becomes!

are the mini's the same speed as the normal size cards

Great and informative video as always, you deserve a bigger channel.

man, almost all tech anything is full of filler jargon and horrible dialog, but this video is long YET to the point AND actually informative with ACTUAL CONTEXT. nice work man! dig your content!

Great review, also thanks for listing all of the other cards in the notes!

Came across your reviews by accident but glad I did. My son is pestering me for a GTX 1070 and this would be perfect as we didn't think a full sized would fit perfectly, Is it overclocked? as MSI do one that is so how do these rate in your opinion? Cant wait for some gaming footage on this card and if all goes well I get my sons old GTX 960 so win win...

Great video, I have just bought one of these and am very pleased with it. You mentioned that it is overkill for 1080p at 60 Hz, however my previous card, a GTX 1060 3 gb, struggled with Witcher 3 and GTA V at ultra settings. Now that I have the 1070, I have cranked everything up to ultra and get a constant 60 fps (at 1080p 60 Hz).

You are like the old skool TV sales man.

Highly detail explanation! I was really hesitate to get this Mini version because "Size does matter" right? Guess they're wrong! Thank you!

>1440p dual monitor segmentoh hey. That's exactly what I wanted to know! I bought two benq's to stream with

Ive failed you Tech Deals (What is your name?) I brought an Evga 1070 ftw :'v

So, if the price is the same ... should I get the 1070 mini or the 1660 ti? Where I live, the Zotak model for both is identical in price (290 euros). I lean towards the 1070 because of the 8GB VRAM.

just came from the 7 card 1070 review, what a great channel. subbed.

This is a brilliant video! cheers

2020, still chose this $300 than higher end cards.

This video is unexpectedly, extremely just bombarded me full of information thanks! Im definitely buying this just only because i got a great deal 👍

Thanks Tech Deals! You always give great advice, I bought the Zotac 1060 based on your review and it has been great. I'll wait and see what the prices do on the 1070 mini and perhaps watch for a 1080 mini before I consider upgrading again.

I really needed that video right now cause of the crazy gpu prices right now and this is the only one for 410€ (pretty good price for this time) i am waiting for nearly 3months now and I just give up, I cannot wait and I will buy this card. i just wondered if it's worse than other 1070's but I will get it. i'm going to stream on twitch and this seems really good! YOU ARE AWESOME MAN! I love this video, thank you so much! Even tho I'm late, I hope you see this! MUCH LOVE FROM ITALY

Great video not seeing this card on the overclock seen but I have had fantastic results

hey good day what about video editing..is it is good video card for that?

I was deciding between this Zotac mini and the Gigabyte mini. I decided to go for the Gigabyte 1070 Mini after reading an in-depth review of it somewhere that said the temps on the card are actually pretty good. I have it in my Corsair 380T Case and it never goes over 60 degrees according to MSI Afterburner. It's a wonderful card.

I just bought this card new. I installed it correctly and one of the fans is spinning at 100% and is very loud and I can't control it. I can't turn it off! It is supposed to be on idle when I'm just using the internet. Does this mean the fan sensor is broken?

Just remember, next generation, GTX 1170 will be the NEW perfect 1440p card. GTX 1070=980Ti which was supposed to be a 4K card.

Nice video, but it felt like a generalised review of 1070 rather than the actual 1070 mini at hand. i would have liked to know the temperatures and fps difference between this and that Asus card.

Just watched this video as i saw one of these cards in the uk for £270 (approx £70 or more cheaper than any other 1070). I was wondering if it was a realy poor version of the card but thanks to your video i am confident in buying one. Thank you for the very informative video, it helped a lot.

Zotac are selling these refurbished on Ebay for $200!

@tech deals i found a 1070 mini like in this video for £340 and any full size 1070 is around 400-440 would it be wise to save the 60-100 and buy the mini

Dude is the tech-uncle every kid was bragging about

So i heard that this card has 2 versions the one with backplate and the one without?

Love your videos so much. You make it so simple to understand for those who aren't entirely sure.

U can overclock 3 fan cards a lot more. The base mhz is also a lot higher so its like precloked a little bit already. A lttle bit is a 100 mhz

This is actually a exact same model as the Zotac GTX 1060 AMP! Edition but this isn't AMP! Edition.

6.5 Teraflops = GTX 1070 or Titan X (Maxwell). Skip the GTX 1080 as performance increase is not worth it for the price point. Do not SLI when you can get a single more powerful card. 12.5 Teraflops = GTX 1080Ti/RX490 or Titan X (Pascal) in Q1 2017. Consider AMD for lower price point and competition to drive prices lower. Get Nvidia for better optimization in power, heat, and drivers.

Hi, will this work on my existing setup. CPU: Intel Core i3-3220 (Ivy Bridge - 22nm) MOBO: MSI H77MA-G43 RAM: 8GB DDR3 1333 (4gb x 2) PSU: Stock/Generic 550w PSU note that i only want a solid 60fps@1080p gaming : ) thank you and more power on your channel.

Hi Everyone, Do you guys recommend this card in areas wherein the weather is hot like the philippines ? and is this card durable ? should i get Intel Core i5-6600 with zotac gtx 1070 mini or Intel Core i7-6700 3.40-4.0GHz and MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6GB Gddr5 I have doubts with the cooling and durability of the zotac card, can you guys help me decide which one to get Thanks in advance.

Psus were 25$💀

thx + good video + like before i watch it 😍❤️👍

Thanks a lot for this video! For me it was very helpful, i just ordered this card for 275€ (January 2019) inlcuding 2 games worth like 50€

you said we can play bf1 at 100-120fps at 1080p :s but i don't get more than 95 fps with gigabyte g1 1070. lowest fps 50 and highest fps 95 at 1080p :/ may i know what's the problem in my pc? :/ {i5 4460 3.2ghz ,20gb ddr3 1600mhz ram, 500 wat psu, gigabyte z97x gaming 3 mobo, 1080p 60hz}

I can play 1440p high on a RX 480 4gb. I am selling my 2x RX 480s and I was thinking of picking up this card off of Amazon for $335. Can anyone comment on how well this card OC's compared to the others?! Noise, temps, end result?

So im stuck between this card and the EVGA GTX 1070 SC Gaming ACX, but since the Zotac GTX 1070 Mini costs 47 Euro less i would rather go with this card, so i was wondering if i should go for the zotac or the evga card. Thanks for any replies!

@tech deals hi! can you make a overclocking guide for i5 6600k? (possibly 4.5ghz or higher) and good coolers for it, i'm really looking forward to it! there are some other videos about it on youtube and i don't understand it since i'm too old for it, you are my top tech guy! :p Thanks!

Good video, but really don't like how you recommend a low quality 400w PSU with a GPU like this. For a budget build sure, but if someone buys a card of this grade he should definitely invest in a high quality PSU with much higher safety. This PSU isn't a total bomb, but it surely isn't good one either.

You know, I think zotac nailed the design for the gtx 10xx lineup EXCEPT for that yellow backplate, I mean you would not know how many times I've considered buying one but didn't because it wouldn't match my colour scheme. :(

I have a full tower case but since im likely to be cpu bottlenecked in quite a few games anyway (fx 8350 non overclocked) im thinking about this card which would stil be an improvement over my unreliable r9 380. So should i go for this or the strixx and would this card help overall system temps by allowing better airflow or does it not matter?

Im watching you since you had below 1k subs I might have been below 500 subs im not sure :) I will build a 6core machine propably 6800k (or maybe 7800k or whatever its gonna be called) Im gonna buy some things with your amazon link

I hoped youll talk a bit about temperatures. Its worth to mention that this card turn off fans at 55C and at gaming temps will go up to 75C and at idle it didnt go less than 44C (note: i got this last winter so it still didnt live trough the summer). You can use MSI afterburner to manually set the fans how you want them but meh. I dont know how healthy are these temps but just so you know if anyone is planning to buy it 2nd hand now when the prices went down. Its a great card overall. All games are running smooth at 60+ fps on ultra settings except AssAss Creed Odyssey which drops sometimes at 50-55 FPS. Good buy.

Watching this in 2020 with same card in my pc.

The title of the video says "Review". But you didn't actually RUN the card, no information on fan noise, coil whine, or temperatures. THAT is what people want to know. WTF?

I just got one these videocards, and a corsair 500w (80 plus bronze) psu, pairing with a ryzen 1600. Will it be okay if I overclock the cpu to 3.8 ghz? Will this psu hold?

what should i buy ??? a 980ti or 1070 ??? for now the 980ti'performance is almost the same as the 1070 but cheaper. will the 980ti will be good enough for longterm user ?

I have this card and its great. I don't think there is any card but the gtx titan X that will play 4k perfectly. I'm very satisfied with this card on my old 144 hz desk top because my 4k tv only plays at 60 hz anyway.

Hi do you have a review of the Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 mini 6GB Card. Thinking of buying this card which is available locally here in Cape Town, South Africa

is it worth to buy a zotac gtx 1070 mini and paired it with i5 7500. And also i m going to play on 1080p but i want everything to be maxed out to the sky with the comfortable atleast min. 60 fps although i hav a 60hz monitor😉

I would love to have this card for my setup, but the lack of a backplate is, meh... I wonder if a backplate of a zotac amp 950/960 would work? hmmm...

i want to mine with this card. Is it good? how hot it is on max load?

Best salesman of the year award.

i felt so stupid now..this particular 1070 mini is getting a $100 discount with coupon now..its more or less $350..regret buying that gtx 1060

u buy all these cards, review and then what do u do with them

question. if my computer is running fine when i turn it on but my monitor says no signal, is there a good chance that something is wrong with my power supply? I ask because all you have to do is barely tap the prong where it connects to the brick and my everything turns off

I got the 1070ti mini in a prebuilt for 1200 dollars along with an AMD 1700 and ripjaws ram with a 600w powers supply, along with an AIO cooler master liquid cooler..idle cpu is under 25c! Common light tasks are at 29c..I do keep my place cold though.. I cant find a better deal and 4k with minor tweaking(average of two medium settings, 75% high settings and maybe a few utra if I am lucky) is a thing 4k@60 or really close to it at all times. Right now there is less than 12 dollars between the two on amazon..GO 1070ti ALL THE WAY. This card just honestly shocked me and it stays under 70c with a minor boost of 2005 +/- on the core and +/- 380 on the memory. I use my rig for tv gaming so 4k@60 is just amazing guys. This card will fit in almost anything I want into the furture as well as ITX and Matx form factors. The case I am in now is the MATX IN WIN 301 a case that currently costs around 85-115 dollars. Also my card is insanely silent even at a custom curve of 73 percent once 45c is reached. Guys this pre built I got is insane, I have searched for over 15 hours and have not found a better price to performance and features comparison and its MATX to boot so its semi portable without being so small that it gives up performance. If you could tell me that I could get 1080 like performance, a 8 core hyper threaded cpu (Yes I know its SMT), a liquid cooler, a 500gb SSD boot drive in a good case for under with a name brand memory module for 1250 with a 5 year warranty a year ago I would not believed it. Good video and also my first Zotac product. Cheers

If I only want to play in ultra at 1080p 60 fps is the 1070 extreme over kill? should I stick to the GTX 1060 6gb instead?

Anyone else noticed that this dude always looks angry? Anyway, considering getting one of these. Wondering if the slightly smaller cooler is any kind of disadvantage.

Can i use two of this on my pc at the same time ? My pc specs: B35m mortar mobo 600w bronze power supp 8gb ram ryzen 5 1600x

Nice, I was waiting for this review!

Hey tech deals! Please test the game: Steep. Please test it on the 720 dollar gaming pc with the amd rx 480! Thanks!

Hey. What if I want to put this card to the ATX motherboard? Will everything be ok? Thanks for answers.

I bought a zotac once. It was horrible. The card craped out and the RMA was a hassle. Not to mention their bad customer service.

Would this fit in the OptiPlex 790 case that you have done several reviews of? Thanks for any feedback.

I have played The Witcher 3 at 4k with this card, paired with a 1600. Only "but", it is boring...

Zotac's website recommends a 500w PSU for the 1070 mini. A EVGA 400w should really do it?

I have one gpu like this now i know why not spinning and recommend psu for this thanks for this video

Are the temperatures higher than those bigger cards such as that ASUS ROG STRIX since it only has 2 fans?

OMG the price of graphics cards has doubled in the last 6 months since I bought a new computer. The cheapest I can find this card is $750! Damn bitcoin miners!

You have gained 1 more subscriber! 20 min of video that worth to watch it

Hi! i have seen images of this card whit a blackplate, does it come in the box? or do i have to buy it separetly? thanks!

I don't like how often I can see your upper teeth but barely ever see the lower. This honestly bothers me more than it should. Good review tho

If they perform the same and Is cheaper why would anyone buy the full size one

Finally... I can now get a smaller mATX case and still use my PCie slots.

Hey didn't see ur follow up video of the benchmarking. Would you still recommend this gpu?

I bought Galax 1070 mini oc, it was cheaper than this one by 30$ . I hope I did the right thing.

"Shortest GTX 1070" ... *skips ahead, sees a 2-fan card* ... but what about the Gigabyte Mini ITX OC 1070 (6.65")? The Zotac 1070 Mini, according to pcpartpicker, is 8.27" (210mm). (Then as I'm watching, I hear you mention the GB card. :) ) I recently got the EVGA GTX 1060 3GB SC card, influenced in part by your reviews. :) (It's paired with an i7-4790K, ASRock Z97 Extreme6, Corsair AX760, Rosewill Thor V2, 3x 4TB + 1x 5TB HDDs (+ some uninstalled), 256GB Crucial M550 SSD, Windows 10 Pro.) My 3DMark Firestrike went from like 775 (Intel HD 4600) to 10490. Rise of the Tomb Raider (1080p high) went from 5.5 to 91 fps on the benchmark. GTA V on high-ish custom settings (est. VRAM use ~2 GB or so) got 60-100fps on the benchmark. Interestingly, though, cranking everything up to the absolute max in GTA V (so it'd show as using 8-9 GB VRAM at 1080p, although yes I did set the scale factor crazy high), the integrated graphics actually CRUSHED the 1060. The iGPU got 1.5-1.8 fps at the first segment of the benchmark, the 1060 3GB got 0.3 fps. (I didn't let the benchmark finish, of course.) I'm suspecting that's due to less latency from the CPU to system RAM, than from the GPU to system ram, as the GPU has to swap out with system RAM when its VRAM gets overwhelmed.

VR ready?

hi.. I have gtx 1070ti mini and my psu has only one 6 pin pci is it safe to connect it with this adapter?

im almost certain the founders editions are cherry picked. i can overclock my 1070 founders editions core to 2.15 GHZ. and gpu boost has taken it to 2.25 before. and if i only over clock the Vram i can ALMOST get 2more GHZ without artifacting. 770 offset. effective 1540 MHZ overclock. its INSANE.
