Synthetic Benchmarks

To start off my testing I went with our synthetic benchmark suite. While not great at showing what kind of FPS you will experience in game, the synthetic benchmarks are typically a great way to compare performance between cards because they are very repeatable. So to start things off I tested the GTX 1070 Gaming X in 3DMark using all three settings in Fire Strike. These cover performance in 1080p, 1440p, and 4k. I use the graphics scores not the overall scores, that way our test bench doesn’t play any part in the score. The 1070 Gaming X performed extremely well in all three but especially in the performance setting. It outperformed the Titan X in all three with the Titan X being our previously fastest card before I tested the GTX 1080 earlier this week. Compared to the GTX 1080 the GTX 1070 does fall short but let’s stop and think about how Nvidia’s second tier card is handily outperforming the Titan X.

In the Valley Benchmark, the results were similar as well with it pulling an impressive 92.8 FPS in the ExtremeHD setting. This is about 10 FPS less than the GTX 1080 and almost 4 FPS more than the Titan X.

Catzilla is a new test that I added for the GTX 1080 launch so there aren’t really very many results to compare with just yet but the GTX 1070 Gaming X did perform well here as well putting a nice gap between itself and the GTX 980 Ti in all three resolutions.

The last test is a simple one. SteamVR runs through and gives you a 1-11 score showing you how well your card should perform when used in VR. The GTX 1070 Gaming X didn’t max out the chart like the 1080, but it came close with a 10.9 out of 11. This means you should expect great performance in VR. I will be adding more VR testing in the future as they are being introduced to better test this growing area.

I take a look at the GTX 1070 Gaming X from MSI before the weekend. Enjoy!
