Review: Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming GTX 1070 GPU

The Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming GTX 1070 GPU is a beefed up version of its younger G1 Gaming counterpart, comprising of gamer-centric feautures that the company claims will make it the prime choice for gamers. The Xtreme Gaming GTX 1070 is pretty much the same as the Xtreme Gaming GTX 1080 with the GPU swapped out. However, while the power phase design on the 1080 features a 12+2 design, it has been downgraded to 10+2 in the 1070. The PCIe power configuration has also been changed from dual 8-pin connectors to a single 8-pin along with a single 6-pin connector. When compared to its G1 Gaming counterpart, the Xtreme Gaming 1070 is obviously much more powerful.
