• Reviews around design flaw (2.12 of 5)

    EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition, 8GB GDDR5, LED, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) 08G-P4-5173-KR

    • The card is pretty decent, I've been able to enjoy playing games on epic settings with smooth frame rate, but there's been a lot of recent reports about parts of the card burning out because of a design flaw that resulted in EVGA trying to be cheaper
    • I didn't know about the design flaw at the time and thought it was just a lemon
    • The Specific Model has been the subject of numerous failures due to a design flaw
    • Then I see online how there are design flaws in the FTW cards, and how these issues are addressed in their up and coming FTW2 models
    • Without some sort of consumer protection laws though, EVGA can get away with leaving customers with cards with shoddy solutions to serious design flaws that are capable of severe damage (and not just to the cards).I really hope EVGA will work on redeeming themselves after this
    • Unfortunately, it has a design flaw--the cooler does not directly cool the VRAM/VRM
    • Crushing the games and I haven’t even OC’d it yet
    • Absolutely amazing!I recently upgraded components in an older desktop to meet the requirements of new games

    • RMA 2 swapped the thermal pad and vbios updated card from RMA 1 due to a loud clicking noise that exceeded the noise level of the fans as fast as I've seen them go (about 30-40%)RMA 3, if approved, will be the same as RMA 2 since the new card has an identical, though slightly quieter noise issue
    • I'm loving it!No complaints as of yet
    • Amazon is as great as always, still doesn't take back the frustration and time wasted
