Pascal Architecture GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition is a graphics card built on the Pascal architecture for desktop PCs. It features a base core clock of 1506 MHz and a boost clock of 1683 MHz. The card includes 1920 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR5 memory across a 256-bit bus. It connects via a PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface and uses a single-fan cooler.

1080p High Refresh and VR

This card suits gamers targeting 1080p high-refresh-rate monitors or entry-level virtual reality experiences. The 8GB frame buffer handles modern texture packs at this resolution. Users planning 4K gameplay or compute workloads needing newer API features should look at something else. Multi-monitor setups are supported through the available display outputs.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous load the GPU operates at its 1683 MHz boost clock until thermal limits engage. The single-fan cooler exhausts heat toward the rear bracket, so case airflow directly affects sustained frequency. Memory remains at the rated GDDR5 speed without throttling in typical gaming sessions. Power draw stays within the PCI Express 3.0 specification for the board.

Questions about this item

What power-supply connectors must my PSU already have to run the GTX 1070 Founders Edition?

The card draws auxiliary power through a single 8-pin PCIe connector, so the power supply must provide that lead and enough wattage for the rest of the system.

Will the PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface work on a motherboard that only has PCIe 2.0 slots?

Yes, the GTX 1070 is backward-compatible with PCIe 2.0 x16 slots; it will operate at the slower 2.0 signalling rate but remains fully functional.

How can I verify the GPU is running at its 1683 MHz boost clock under load?

Open a monitoring tool such as GPU-Z or the NVIDIA Control Panel performance overlay while running a 3D workload and confirm the core frequency reads 1683 MHz.
