AMD drivers are known to be less than ideal
sounds like standard stuff for their products, at least back from when I used them and anecdotal evidence

it's ok, guys
just a minor setback. it's a 200$ card, after all. can't expect miracles for that price.
given AMD seems to have gone way past the p/W sweet spot in their reference design, I wouldn't expect miracles
but you're right, technically, we can't know for sure
woah I hope I won't get banned for this one, but I haven't found a better expression for this
a polished t*rd vs a great feat of engineering
the p/$ ratio being well in favor of the GTX 1070 at that point

agreed, I enjoy their work. the only problem is that it's in German, which makes it pretty hard to read for the majority of this forum

Hardware.fr confirms this too. They also have a retail version (Sapphire 480) which exhibits the same problem. They also confirms the power usage going over 150W with both a review and retail version of the...

I'm sure the informed consumer who'll put this card in an OEM system with a shoddy mobo with blame himself
just blame the consumer for faulty products, I like that
TL;DR - GTX 970 performs much better when paired with weaker CPUs.
yet another reason to get a 2 year old card
can't be sure it won't fry (low-quality) mobos with the pci-e power issue being under investigation
I'm happy for you. The GTX 1070 is a perfect card for > 1080p 60 Hz gaming

I tried my best to like this card. I wanted to buy it for 1080p 60 Hz gaming, but I just can't buy it - there's way too many issues with it - at least with the reference design (a PR nightmare for AMD imo).
A lot of these issues COULD be fixed by AIB cards (8 pin power connector, a decent...
