2 Aug 2020 - Graphics card reviewed

A true powerhouse, the GeForce GTX 1070 Gigabyte Founders 8GB Edition will run even the most demanding game system requirements released today. GeForce GTX 1070 Gigabyte Founders 8GB Edition is capable of DirectX 12 gaming requirements.

This PC hardware performance game review for the GeForce GTX 1070 Gigabyte Founders 8GB Edition graphics card, when running 2020 more popular games, lets us see what type of FPS this card gets when playing at 1080p, 1440p and 4K screen resolutions and ultra settings. The GeForce GTX 1070 Gigabyte Founders 8GB Edition can run the recommended graphics system requirements for 859 games today, of the top 1000 most demanding.

The 1080p FPS on Ultra for the GeForce GTX 1070 Gigabyte Founders 8GB Edition shows us that Assassins Creed: Valhalla is predicted to get a playable result of 34 FPS, and then we are seeing Cyberpunk 2077 predicted to return a reasonable 50 FPS while another game on our list is the Grounded which is getting 65 frames per second at Ultra 1080p.

Increasing resolution to 1440p is something a number of PC gamers are doing today. We tested the GeForce GTX 1070 Gigabyte Founders 8GB Edition at 1440p and researched how Cyberpunk 2077 might perform on it leading us to predict a playable set of FPS results. These were, Low: 101 FPS, Medium: 79 FPS, High: 53 FPS and Ultra: 38 FPS. We then checked out Grounded which had a set of graphics results as followed, L: 131FPS, M: 103FPS, H: 69FPS, U: 50FPS. And another popular game was Assassins Creed: Valhalla with predictions of L: 52FPS, M: 44FPS, H: 38FPS, U: 26FPS at 1440p. In summary we feel the GeForce GTX 1070 Gigabyte Founders 8GB Edition running at 1440p is certainly a viable option for these higher gaming resolutions. Remember that if you suffer some 1440p FPS drops the you can usually tweak modern game graphics settings until you get a near High graphics setting experience with this Graphics card.
