GeForce GTX 1070 Video Card Review
Gaming Performance - Part 1
Contents
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is an action RPG with FPS elements, launched in August 2016, that uses the Dawn engine, being compatible with DirectX 12. We tested it using the benchmark included in the game, with DirectX 12 enabled, graphic options “very high” and MSAA 4x.
The results below, in Full HD and 4K, are expressed in frames per second.
On Deus Ex: Mankind Divided in Full HD, the GeForce GTX 1070 “Founders Edition” was 21% slower than the GeForce GTX 1080, 32% faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, 57% faster than the GeForce GTX 970, and 18% faster thank the Radeon R9 390.
On 4K, the GeForce GTX 1070 “Founders Edition” was 23% slower than the GeForce GTX 1080, 43% faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, and 44% faster thank the Radeon R9 390. At this resolution, the benchmark ran below 1 fps on the GTX 970.
Doom
Doom is an FPS/horror/sci-fi game launched in May 2016, that used the id Tech 6 engine. We tested the performance in this game, with the API OpenGL with quality options “high” and FXAA on, measuring the framerate with FRAPS three times.
The results below are expressed in fps and they are the mean between the three collected results.
On the Doom test with Full HD, there was clearly some bottleneck or incompatibility that we couldn’t identify, resulting in inconsistent results. We choose to present the data anyway, but they obviously do not represent the performance of the video cards.
On 4K resolution, the GeForce GTX 1070 “Founders Edition” was 12% slower than the GeForce GTX 1080, 51% faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, 66% faster than the GeForce GTX 970, and 89% faster thank the Radeon R9 390.
Dying Light
Dying Light is an open-world horror game launched in January 2015, using the Chrome Engine 6. We tested the performance at this game with all quality options at the maximum, measuring three times the frame rate using FRAPS.
The results below are expressed in fps and they are the mean between the three collected results.
On the Full HD benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1070 “Founders Edition” was 8% slower than the GeForce GTX 1080, 53% faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, 67% faster than the GeForce GTX 970, and 95% faster thank the Radeon R9 390.
On 4K, the GeForce GTX 1070 “Founders Edition” was 15% slower than the GeForce GTX 1080, 42% faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, 69% faster than the GeForce GTX 970, and 52% faster thank the Radeon R9 390.
Grand Theft Auto V
Grand Theft Auto V, or simply GTA V, is a open-world action game released for PCs in April of 2015 and uses the RAGE engine. In order to measure the performance on this game, we ran the performance test of the game (the plane portion), measuring the frame rate with FRAPS. We ran GTA V with image quality set as “very high” and MSAA as 2x.
The results below are expressed in frames per second.
On GTA V, with Full HD, the GeForce GTX 1070 “Founders Edition” performed similarly to the GeForce GTX 1080, was 56% faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, 49% faster than the GeForce GTX 970, and 87% faster thank the Radeon R9 390.
With 4K resolution, the GeForce GTX 1070 “Founders Edition” also performed the same way as the GeForce GTX 1080, being 69% faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, 63% faster than the GeForce GTX 970, and 91% faster thank the Radeon R9 390.
