Conclusion
...this card is one of the very best at under £400.There's been some pause for thought after a flurry of recent graphics card launches in the preceding months. Thinking back, the GeForce GTX 1070 is our favourite GPU. Much faster than either Radeon RX 480 or GTX 1060 and significantly cheaper than the GTX 1080 on which it is based, the second-rung Pascal begins at £360 or so.
You can spend £100 more for a custom model, quite easily, yet companies such as Inno3D offer both performance and relative value for money. The iChiLL X3 model, available for £390, offers an enviable combination of speed, near-silent operation, and energy efficiency. What's more, the company is one of the very few to overclock memory out of the box, too.
If you can get past the size and have a chassis to accommodate the beast, this card is one of the very best at under £400.
