Three Years Later, this card still never fails to perform beyond my expectations

Style: RTX 2070 Super MiniPattern: CardVerified Purchase

This was my first $400 and above, RT-Enabled Graphics Card, and it was worth EVERY single penny, from the moment I installed it.

Even now, three years in, and a few months shy of an upgrade suitable for GTA VI, Starfield, Beyond Good and Evil 2(a guy can dream, lol), etc, the card performs amazingly well, and provides a detail rich, uncanny valley straddling, dense framrate gaming experience with just about every new release I’ve tried to run(last one being Spider-Man Miles Morales 60FPS easily, with Very High Settings).

I hope I’m even half as satisfied with my next 40 Series Card, as I was with this little beast.

Beast of a card

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2017

Style: GTX 1070 MiniPattern: CardVerified Purchase

If you want to enter the upper range of GPU's without spending 400+ bucks, the Zotac GTX 1070 mini is a phenomenal card. The cooling on this card is fantastic (I know that being a "mini" card, lots of people will want to know how well the fans and heatsinks perform). This card has a beefy heat sink system to it. The fans do an amazing job of cooling the card down after hours of gaming and it getting warm. At idle, temps are staying right around 38 to low 40's C. At first I had an issue where the card was continuously keeping its clocking speeds up for high performance, even at "idle." I think it was possibly due to a BIOS issue. My BIOS seemed to correct itself after installing the Firestorm software that was included with the card. After a couple hours of gaming, with fans either completely off or running at 3%, the card seems to be maxing at around 61 C. And by manually kicking the fans up to 30% using the Firestorm software, the gpu cools down super quickly back down into the 40s, in less than a minute. The fans are barely audible at 30%, and in my opinion, if you're going to game for several hours in a gpu intensive game, I would recommend going ahead and setting your fans to 20-30% as a good method of keeping things nice and cool without having to blast them. I think in auto mode, the fans kick on around 61 C, and at around 3-7% speed. Which, seems to be enough to keep the card hovering at that temperature. The fans are surprisingly quiet at any range on up to 45%-ish, I would say. As for video performance, this card is a beast. Running all games at max settings at 1080p easily at 100 FPS+. Also, as for VR, I downloaded and ran Steam's VR performance test, and I quote the results, "your system is performing well above what is needed for recommended, high quality VR!" Various benchmark tests and "Can I Run It" tests all indicate this gpu is in the 93rd to 97th percentile in video performance. I snagged the zotac gtx 1070 mini at around $333. Just wait around, watch the stock and prices. Sometimes this card dips as low as $329.

My only complaint is how this card is shipped. It was shipped to me in just the Zotac box, rather than inside another box with air bubbles. Seems like it could get damaged easily during shipping being shipped out in this minimalistic manner.

FPS max settings:
300 fps Day of Defeat: Source
156 fps 7 Days to Die
Average 102.5 fps Rise of the Tomb Raider
150 FPS Killing Floor 2
85 fps Killing Floor 1 (server cap)

I tried I desperately tried to bog this card down on my Acer 1080p display and I can't!!

First and foremost Zotac makes really nice cards that have great warranty's if they stop working. Asus/MSI/Gigabyte quality undoubtedly and possibly better.

This GTX 1070 compared to my 1050 ti which is already an awesome card is ridiculously fast and does not take up too much space in my mid tower. I game at 1080p but run everything on ultra. So this card is most likely going to last me for years and years. I really think Zotac is an unsung hero for PC gamers.

I love to play video games, it does not matter if I am playing my PlayStation 1, 2, 3 or 4. "PC master race?" I don't subscribe to that camp but my workstation/gaming computer is as such;

Everything air cooled and chilly.

Asus Prime Z270 Prime-P
I7 7700 65W non-k +Intel BXTS15A cooler
Corsair Vengeance 2400Mhz
Zotac GTX 1070
Samsung Evo 960
Corsair 100R Silent Series
Thermaltake 650w Bronze

Never had a top tier level card for gaming. I usually go for the budget cards which was a Zotac GTX 1050 Ti a fantastic card for gaming, but I wanted premium. Its nice to have my gtx 1050 ti as a backup in case I need to RMA this which I doubt I will have to. This card sort of needs a metal back plate but since the price was much lower than other 1070's I think that is the reason this card is of noticeably lower cost. I happened to luck out and get this card for $287 being a prime member and getting their credit card+giftcard deal in the right time.

It really pays off to be an Amazon Prime Member BIGTIME!
Thank you Amazon!!!!!!!!!!!!! You Rock!!!!!

Good card in a hard to cool case

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2019

Style: RTX 2070 Super MiniPattern: CardVerified Purchase

I have this in a node 202, not an easy case to cool as you’ll see. I installed a Corsair 240mm radiator on the outside of the 2 120mm fan slots, the fans are inside as they would be in an unmodified case in the GPU section pulling air through the radiator into the case (hope that makes sense), the radiator is cooling the CPU, i7 9700, I also drilled vent holes in the bottom of the case and put the case on a custom stand (when standing vertically with the GPU on the bottom). My old card was a 1060, it ran in the high 60s to low 70s. I wasn’t sure if a full size 2070 super would fit with the hoses for the radiator so I got the mini version, which is actually shorter than the 1060 I had. When I first installed the card I was hitting the 83 degree target temp and throttling. I adjusted the fan curves on the radiator and video card and was getting around 80 degrees but with a ton of noise. I replaced the Corsair fans with Noctua NF-12a fans, I was able to slow down the fans on the GPU a bit and now I’m getting temps in the mid 70s without a ton of noise, not silent but easily blocked with headphones. The GPU is turboing to 1995mhz without any change from the default settings for the GPU. Overall I’m very happy I can run 3x 1080 monitors with high frame rates.

Hands-Down, Best RTX2070 Super for $$$

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2020

Style: RTX 2070 Super MiniPattern: CardVerified Purchase

I've used Zotac products in the past, and while here in the USA they are not as popular as EVGA or MSI, Zotac continues to produce exceptional hardware at an attractive price. This RTX Super Mini Variant highlights Zotac's willingness to explore form factors other manufacturers may view as "niche'" or "unconventional."

This card's dimensions enable it to fit comfortably in ITX cases. Myself, I use it in a DLM 21 Mech Matx case. It's an RTX Super, and it's performance is comparable to that of longer and larger-cooler sku's. This card runs warm. In a well-ventilated case and in a cool room, the card hovers at around 76 degrees Celsius.

There is no fan-stop function on this card. The fans will always spin and carry with it some level of noise. However, performance it's fantastic and at this price you can't go wrong. I highly recommend this card over any other 2070 supers.

Already installed the video card in my computer so, no picture of this pristine GPU. I'm on a tight budget so when I found this, I figured I'd give it a shot. Works as advertised, very happy with product and packaging it came in.

I researched nearly 1 month to get 2 used g-cards which are in good quality condition but low price. I know I could be in good or bad luck by chance. At least I was lucky to get a very good quality and nice working one from the Amazon seller. I love the small size and it runs very silently.

Hey it fits (SORT OF, YIKES) LOL

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2021

Style: RTX 2070 Super MiniPattern: CardVerified Purchase

Oh boy, someone didn't do his reading too well when he bought this card to shove into a Ghost Canyon NUC. They weren't kidding when they said you can put a max length card of 8in in the NUC, but I'm an adventurous chap. Managed to fit it in sans the front plastic shroud. Which I'll probably just saw down a bit (remove the sharp pointy pizazz since they're literally doing nothing but taking up unnecessary space) Since right now there isn't a faceplate on the card and the blades are a bit exposed. BUT HEY it fits and it works. No longer is 2070 by ASUS the largest you can go. Thanks ZOTAC, I will void my warranty.

In conclusion, it works, do I recommend what I did? NO, since without the shroud the fan blades are exposed and it took a lot of dexterity to fit it in the NUC and away from the blades. Also I think this card is JUST a tad too tall for comfort sake, GOOD on Intel putting that fan grate in front of the fan above the GPU power connector. This took a lot of wrangling. BUT I GOT it to work.

The company is a headache.

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2016

Style: GTX 1070 MiniPattern: CardVerified Purchase

I just want to make people aware of my experience so that I might save someone a headache that decides to purchase. GTX 970 bought in Oct 2015 with low operating temps causing constant artifacts/system lockups when using more than 2GB vram. I was very forthcoming with all information and patient with this company. This was my first Zotac card. Temps under full load hovered 76-79C maximum. The card worked for a full year before this without issue. While the card was in the shop I came up with the idea to buy a new card for myself and build my fiancee her own gaming PC for Christmas using the 970. I took to amazon and ordered a Zotac 1070 for my current build as I figured they didn't give me any trouble with approving my RMA on the 970 and a two year warranty is not bad. The 1070 actually ran cooler than the 970 ever did. Just dominating games for about a week until it started causing system crashes. The only difference being that the 1070 didn't exhibit intermittent artifacts like the 970. Just locked things up and made me have to reboot my system. I then assumed that there was no way two Zotac cards could fail on me like that within such a short time frame it MUST be another component in my PC. I tested it on my room mate's build (incidentally he has the same zotac 970 but it's still working) and this new 1070 did the same thing. I hit up their live help and asked if they were aware of any kind of issues like this and if there was some sort of patch/driver/bios update that was addressing it. I was told by a rep that there was a bios update in a month (wut?) and it may or may not address the issue. Thank goodness for amazon and their 30 day guarantee. I immediately sent it back and ordered an Asus 1070 which has worked flawlessly in my system ever since. Not a single issue.
Fast forward 3 weeks I get an email from Zotac regarding my 970 saying that my fan went bad. I told them that there was no way that that could be the issue, as I actively monitored my operating temps and they never brushed an 80C threshold. They assured me that the card was operating optimally and then they sent it back with a new fan. Meanwhile I have built my fiancee a new/entirely different gaming PC and pop that 970 in for the first time and this thing operates EXACTLY the same temp wise and error wise. I email them and respectfully tell them (despite my urge to state the obvious that I had told them already). They very cryptically state that they will take a look at it again and to send it back.
I let a rep know that I'd be willing to send them no only video evidence but also GPU-Z logs of what's happening and they said I could send it to the team who would be performing the diagnostic. I have very little faith in their diagnostic/repair process. If I can replicate this issue in 5 minutes with just standard software what does that say about their RMA team?
I just want to leave this as a warning for potential buyers. Their hardware is hit or miss. Their RMA diagnostic team is sub par. Their cards may be a bit cheaper than other competitors but do you really want to take that gamble?
I intend to update when they send the 970 back for the second time if the issue has been fixed. At this point I do not have much faith in it. Purchase wisely and game on, dudes.
