In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! are marginally better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Asus ROG Strix Gaming 8GB.
The GTX 1070 has a 76 MHz higher core clock speed and the same number of Texture Mapping Units as the GTX 1070. This results in the GTX 1070 providing 9.1 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 1070 has a 76 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 1070 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the GTX 1070 providing 4.8 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
Both the GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! and the GeForce GTX 1070 Asus ROG Strix Gaming 8GB were released at the same time, so are likely to be quite similar.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! and the GeForce GTX 1070 Asus ROG Strix Gaming 8GB have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The memory bandwidth of the GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! and the GeForce GTX 1070 Asus ROG Strix Gaming 8GB are the same, which means the GTX 1070 and the GTX 1070 have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.
Both the GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! and the GeForce GTX 1070 Asus ROG Strix Gaming 8GB have 1920 Shader Processing Units. Having the same number of SPUs and using the same architecture means that the performance they offer can be compared by looking at the memory bandwidth, Texture and Pixel Rates. In this case, the GTX 1070 has 9.1 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate and 4.8 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate, but the has GB/sec greater memory bandwidth. Although the GPUs are very similar in performance, the GTX 1070 takes the edge.
The GeForce GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! requires 220 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 1070 Asus ROG Strix Gaming 8GB requires 150 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GTX 1070 and a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GTX 1070. The GTX 1070 requires 70 Watts more than the GTX 1070 to run. The difference is significant enough that the GTX 1070 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GTX 1070.
