My video card burst danger! GTX1070 showdown! Innovision Ice Dragon VS Gigabyte G1

Previous article I shared with you about the dismantling and brief commentary of the Seven Flames, the god of war, X-Top1070.

This article focuses on the evaluation of the two cards most controversial for most GTX1070 players. One is the Infanta Ice Dragon, and the other is the Gigabyte G1.

First of all, to review the basic product specifications of the two graphics cards, because it is the same generation of graphics cards, so the difference between the two graphics cards is not large, which is the use of public version of the ultra-Ultra Ice Dragon PCB, other differences where I have a mark

Avoid watermark blocking specifications affect reading, so deliberately empty a few do not blame.

From the above table, we can see that the main difference between the two graphics cards is frequency, heat dissipation and size. How large can that gap be? Let's slowly say.

First of all, let's take a look at the box and details

Compared to Gigabyte's exaggerated G1 packaging, Ishino appeared to be low-key and calm.

On the back of Gigabyte G1, there are product features introduced, while Ishino is a simple multi-language one.

The thickness of the packaging will be a little thicker and will be heavier.

Unpacking details.

The first is the details of the two graphics cards

The Gigabyte G1 is equipped with three GIGABYTE fans, while the Ultra Ice Dragon is equipped with 4 fans. What is the cooling effect?

If the manufacturers do not match the backplane at this price point, it is unacceptable. Compared to Gigabyte G1's smooth back panel, Super Ice Dragon uses a matte-feeling material that feels more comfortable.

Both cards use DVI-D1, HDMI1, DP3 interfaces.

Standard belief lamp, 9 series graphics card, many manufacturers have not believed in the loss of light, 10 series can see the basic version of the 1070 has RGB lights.

Both graphics cards support the automatic start-stop technology of the fan. When the core temperature is not high, the fan automatically stops, extending the service life of the graphics card and the fan.



Super Long Ice Dragon will be about 20mm longer in length.

It can be seen that the Yingzhong Super Ice Dragon uses a design with 4 fans and 5 heat pipes to meet the heat dissipation design. Compared with Gigabyte's dual heat pipes, the design of the fans with direct contact with the core heat dissipation has no advantage. We will have a special temperature evaluation below.


Both cards use 8pin1 power supply interface, thermal power design 150W.

End of the box, enter the formal evaluation

The first is the test machine configuration platform:

CPU: E3 1231 V3

Motherboard: Phoenix B85N

Memory: Magnesium CL8 timing 8GB2

Power supply: Xingu 600W full module

Operating System: Windows10 10586.420

Graphics Card Driver: Nvidia GeForce 368.69

Chassis: Joe Sibo RM3, top cover with fan

The following tests are performance test results for a 21:9 screen with resolution! (For comparison with Ultra Ice Dragon, Gigabyte G1 was manually changed to OC mode and overclocked to 8208Mhz)

Gigabyte G1 in the FSE mode, the highest frequency reached 2088Mhz, and finally got 8830 graphics points.

The ultra-high ice dragon ran to 2075Mhz in FSE mode, and finally got 9207 graphics points! (You read it right) It is worth mentioning that the temperature rose to 72 °C.

Master Lu’s score is undiminished.

The running sub-section is over, followed by our game test. (Some games without Benchmark need to be tested repeatedly, it's very boring, and finally it will be made out for everyone to see. It really hurts God.)

Tomb Raider 9 Gigabyte G1 lowest frame 88, the highest 160, the average 118.7; and ultra-cold ice dragon minimum frame 90, the highest 152, an average of 120.7.

In the image below, the watermark may block the average number of frames in G1. I feel that it is better for me to do a re-do. Therefore, please, thank you!

In view of GTA5's own Benchmark will affect the number of frames, so manual 2 graphics card pull back and forth test 5 times, take its value.

Killer 6 has cooperation with A-card. All the optimizations for N-card are only for reference.

The Wizard 3 is also pulling the manual test back and forth five times from two graphics cards and taking the value.

For the upcoming 7.0 World of Warcraft how can you miss it? (Choose to go around the city when the Orgrimmar get the most out of the test) For the Horde! Lok-tar!

What are you kidding? Ass who does not love? GTX1070 strength DSR, seconds change 4K properly, 150% rendering can let you win in the game! Heaven is falling. . .

The game test is almost here. In summary, we can see that the super-ice ice dragon is better than the Gigabyte G1, then 1 2 frames. However, the effect of 1 2 frames in the game is not significant. Let's take a look at the two graphics cards. Extreme scorer's results!

The first is Gigabyte G1, 800600 limit press settings, 10 minutes stable at 70-71 °C, the frequency is stable at 2025Mhz, the fan takes up 61% in the automatic mode, the fan speed is about 2600 rpm, Gigabyte dream double heat pipe touch the GPU core really black Science and technology, I do not know where to go higher than my rainbow?

Let's look at the super-ice ice dragon, 800600 limit copy machine settings, 10 minutes stable at 76 °C, the frequency is stable at 1999Mhz, automatic mode fan accounted for 91%, about 1400 rpm fan speed.

Yes, you did not make mistakes. In previous years, you said that you did not like the Gigabyte G1! And the ultra-polar Ice Dragon fan 100% speed is about 1600 rpm, Gigabyte G1 pulled 100% fan speed is about 4,000 rpm, the most important is the Gigabyte G1 in the 2600 rpm noise is much lower than the 1400 rpm Ice Dragon! I don't know what kind of black technology is in there.

Write here to evaluate almost completed, but the last point I still want to Tucao about the ultra-cold ice dragon's belief light, can not even color! Only rely on the temperature of the GPU core to change color!

It seems that Yingzhong cannot understand the player's mentality that the headlights will flash. This is a pity.

Gigabyte understands! ! !

Well, today's evaluation is here, and here I still summarize the characteristics of the two graphics cards, but also hope to give the students intend to buy the card a little life experience.

Gigabyte G1 advantages:

1: Boost3.0 linear overclocking is high, reaching 2088Mhz touch power wall is very simple. The game is stable around 2050Mhz.

2: The fan starts and stops automatically.

3: The cooling period has been black, Gigabyte G1 had only 2999 departure to allow players to help wash the various channels, it turns out that G1 is still in the first echelon!

4: Customizable color RGB faith lights.

The 5:3 year warranty is very safe.

Gigabyte G1 disadvantages:

1: big plastic, I am!

2: Big plastic also sells this price, I'm sorry!

Yingzhong Super Ice Dragon advantages:

1: I think it's cool!

2: Metal work is awesome!

3: For SLI local optimization, increase SLI cover and air intake.

4: The temperature of the graphics card can be intuitively seen through the belief light.

The 5:3 year warranty is very safe.

Innomax Super Ice Dragon Disadvantages:

1: The use of public version of PCB, compared to other manufacturers always feel almost meaning, after all, buy a radiator to send the core.

2: Due to metal work, the graphics card is a little heavy, and long-term estimates will be bent. Otherwise, why is it called a curved dragon? (Who would have thought that Gigabyte G1 would be a small advantage because the plastic workmanship reduces the chance of bending?)

3: Telling the truth, heat dissipation is not as good as Gigabyte G1. (The temperature in the text is completed under the condition of the extreme copying machine. If you play the game, the two graphics cards are about 62-65°C. Look!)

    Finally, in the end, I hope everyone can pay attention to drinking plenty of water and rest. Don't take heat stroke and get a good health.
