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.

Got the X4 variant of this card a couple of weeks after launch and absolutely love it. Like the review says, it is a massive card, I needed to buy a bigger case to accommodate it, but it is a fantastic card.
Nice looking card but with size of it many boards are screwed for SLI.
The 980 NEEDS to be, as well as the 980 ti, included in the graphs. It's not fair as these new cards should be stacked against them.
Any chance you (or anyone) could weigh the card please? It would be interesting to know how heavy it is… I'm tempted to buy this model.
