EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC2 GAMING iCX 8GB graphics card

EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC2 GAMING iCX 8GB

The EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC2 GAMING iCX is a graphics card built on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10 series architecture. It features 1920 CUDA cores, a base clock of 1594 MHz and a boost clock of 1784 MHz. The card carries 8GB of GDDR5 memory across a 256-bit interface running at an effective 8008 MHz.

iCX thermal design with nine sensors

EVGA iCX technology adds nine additional thermal sensors and MCUs on the PCB to monitor GPU, power and memory zones independently. Asynchronous fan control adjusts each fan based on the specific zone temperature, while a thermal display LED system provides a visual readout. This approach suits enthusiasts who want granular thermal feedback, but users needing a compact two-slot card for a small chassis should verify dimensions first.

256-bit 8GB GDDR5 memory subsystem

The 256-bit memory bus paired with 8GB of GDDR5 at 8008 MHz effective determines the card's bandwidth ceiling for 1440p gaming and VR workloads. If your target resolution or texture workload demands higher memory throughput, a card with a wider bus or faster memory standard would be the logical alternative.
