MSI GeForce GTX 1070

Gigabyte’s GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming OC 8G offers great performance at 2560x1440 on high-refresh displays, the luxury of a semi-passive fan mode, and a quiet cooling solution. Now that it costs less than Nvidia’s sturdily-built Founders Edition model, we're willing to consider it a viable alternative for enthusiasts looking to save some money.
