I have an I7-6800k

GTX 1070 Founders edition costs 45 dollars more than 1070 (USD)
is it worth it and does the founders edition have any benefits to it or does it run faster than the regular one.

I'm on a budget so please help me if it is worth it or not.

Thanks in advance :)

Usually its just temps and like a little bit of a 1-3 fps difference but can be overclocked more heavily

"Founder's Edition" is just a fancier term for Nvidia's reference design. Overall, you'd have more of a benefit with an aftermarket cooler.

Aftermarket gpu's are cheaper / run faster/ and are cooler.

It's just the fe versions are out earlier before other companies can create coolers for them and they have a price increase because nvidia sells them directly.

Never buy the fe version unless you get a great deal on them.

Founders Edition is more expensive with inferior performance. Avoid unless you plan to Water Cool and overclock the bejesus out of it.

I can't put it any simpler than than.

most if not all fe cards have the Samsung memory in it...
With 1070 cards , Samsung memory is better than micron
in 1070 cards...
There are many posts throughout the web with many people
having a problem with the micron memory 1070s ..
Nvidia has supposed to have fixed the issue with bios updates
but not all manufactures have released it yet..

There is vrm heat issues with 1070/1080 cards as well, which
affect the memory

This is true, read about it recently.
1070's that dont use Samsung memory are having clocking/bandwidth issues that require a GPU BIOS update to resolve.

In any case
FE are just normal reference cards with sucky coolers on them.
I wouldnt bother with FE cards, its not like theyre actually special or anything.

No; that's if they are using Micron VRAM.

Just get EVGA, they never use Micron

As i said, 1070s that DONT use Samsung memory
And even EVGA has a BIOS update

Ya sure? EVGA seem to have a nasty habit of catching fire of late. Certainly their FTW cards.

EVGA isnt exempt
But i do prefer EVGA GPUs over all others

Uh, nothing particularly wrong with Micron... In fact, they are one of the leading companies in the semiconductor industry.

There was just a specific wide spread issue on the 1070 model.

EVGA does use Micron. Everyone does. It's all about sourcing, in bulk. Standard industry practice.

It is much easier to find a water cooler cooler block that covers the whole card for the reference design, in theory. I can find GTX 1080 FE edition water cooler blocks with the greatest of ease, but 1070... not so much, apart from EK I guess. EK is pretty pricey, and with a new lineup coming out Q3 or maybe Q4 from Nvidia, not worth it, but something to keep in mind perhaps.

Was that message really worth of reviving nearly 2 years old topic....
