Power, Temperature and Noise
Remember that 150W TDP? The card, evaluated as a whole system in the above graph, is more efficient than a GeForce GTX 680 from 2012.
Using the same cooler as the GTX 1080, it's no surprise to see an identical load temperature.
But here's something interesting. The under-load noise readings are higher than the GTX 1080's. You'd think this counter intuitive as the GTX 1070 sips on less power. We installed the GTX 1080 again and found the results to be consistent; its fan spins slightly more slowly. Strange, huh.
