Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 Xtreme Gaming Graphics Card Review

3DMark Firestrike from Futuremark is a Semi-synthetic DirectX11 benchmark designed for high-performance gaming PCs. Firestrike performs advanced geometry, illumination and particle tests with its Graphics benchmark and performs physics simulations using the CPU. For our video card test, the graphics card score and overall scores are presented in both Firestrike and Firestrike Ultra.

While we did not perform real world tests, 3D mark does include two DirectX 12 benchmarks. One is an API overhead test and the other is TimeSpy which represents a DirectX 12 Game.

Unigine Valley 1.0 and Heaven 4.0 are GPU intensive synthetic benchmarks that utilize tessellation, advanced lighting, dynamic environments and other DirectX11 graphical features. Both of these are excellent for video card stability and temperature testing and even supports Stereo3D and multi-monitor benchmarking. NOTE: These tests incorrectly identify the 1070 as having 4GB of ram. This is an issue with the software, not the GPU.
