Compute Benchmarks

While gaming performance is what most people are looking for. I also didn’t forget to test the GTX 1070 G1 Gaming in a few different Compute benchmarks. I started things off with our old and our new Folding benchmarks. I was seriously impressed that it outperformed the MSI 1070 while running at a lower clock speed on three out of the four tests. The Single precision tests have the G1 Gaming just under the GTX 1080 and well ahead of everything else tested. When we get into the double precision tests the results are a little less satisfying, though. Nvidia doesn’t include any FP64 cores in their desktop cards anymore so they struggle more here. Even so, the G1 Gaming is still the second fastest card on the new Folding benchmark, but the RX 480 is right behind it. In the older test cards like the R9 390 and even the older GTX 780 pull ahead, though.

I also tested using CompubenchCL, focusing on the video Composition and BitCoin mining tests. Once again the G1 Gaming performed extremely well. In the Video Composition test, it pulled slightly ahead of the MSI 1070 as well. For Bitcoin mining, the GTX 1080 is still king, but considering the results I think the GTX 1070’s might have good potential for their price.

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.
