In-Game Benchmarks

Even when just running in the slower Gaming Mode, we have already found out that the Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming is fast just from our synthetic benchmarks. But I also really wanted to find out how well it would perform in game. So to do that I ran it through our recently refreshed gaming benchmark suite. The problem is, with so many results it can be a little too much to take in. To help with that I have condensed our results into two graphs, one for 1080p and the other for 1440p. All of our games are run at their max settings and we use the average FPS as the end result. The graphs below are broken down into three FPS ranges to represent unplayable (below 30), playable but not ideal (30 to 60), and ideal (over 60 FPS). So what did I find from those results? Well with the exception of Ashes of the Singularity, the GTX 1070 G1 Gaming is going to run over any of your games at 1080p. When I turned things up to 1440p it had similar results as well with Hitman: Absolution coming in just a hair under 60. Unlike the GTX 1080 that is really only useful for even higher resolutions, the GTX 1070 G1 Gaming is perfect for people looking to move to 1440p. It shouldn’t have trouble in any games, even with the settings cranked completely up.

When we look at the actual results, are there any interesting finds? Well for one I find it interesting that the new Hitman runs better on the GTX 1070 G1 Gaming than the much older Hitman: Absolution. In Hitman as well as Ashes of the Singularity, when running in DX12 we see a huge jump in performance, over 20 FPS in Hitman 2016 at 1080p! Beyond that, the MSI 1070 running in the OC Mode does show a big jump in most of the games as well. I would highly suggest giving the OC Mode on the G1 Gaming a try given the results, especially considering it actually clocks higher.

Hi,

Thank you for your comprehensive GPU reviews - yours is the only site which tests overall cooling and noise (i.e. running the cards at stock vs full fan speeds at load temps) - which helps confirm which cards are have the most efficient coolers.
