I bought this card for a home theater PC (HTPC), so it could do most of the video decoding and processing work. As an HTPC, I also wanted it to be very quiet, even when playing the occasional game. It easily handles the LAV decoder and MadVR processing, including the all the best render processing options available. Total 4K HDR frame processing time is around 12mS, giving it plenty of headroom for the 24fps frame length of 41mS. There's even some leeway if I ever needed to process at 60fps / 16mS. The card seems to be very high quality, and well designed. My only disappointments are twofold: 1.) The radiator's fan is meant to replace the computer's rear chassis fan. However, that new fan does not spin based on the motherboard's temperature, only the GPU's. If the GPU is hardly being used, while the CPU is being heavily taxed, the radiator fan will not spin-up to increase chassis cooling like the fan it replaced. 2.) The radiator fan runs fairly fast even with minimal load on the system. This makes my HTPC significantly louder at rest than it was with a lesser card (a GTX 1050). What I've done to remedy situation #1 is place the new radiator and fan directly in front of the existing chassis fan, instead of replacing the chassis fan. I couldn't come up with a reason why this might be problematic, although I admit it is not ideal. In this configuration both motherboard and GPU temperature will be taken into consideration when determining air flow through the whole system.Read full review

At first, I was a bit skeptical. It's a GTX 1070 that has a built in water cooler, all for 230 bucks?!? That skepticism went away when I dropped 200 fps max settings on COD: Modern Warfare (2019). With my RX 570, I had 60 fps on low settings, lag spikes, and many crashes. This card is the best purchase I've made in a while. (BTW, sorry for the bad quality photos, I dont think I've cleaned my camera in a while)

The card runs extremely cool and it is apparently factory overclocked. No issues, great value for high level gaming. It is not super quiet, but not noisy either.
