PNY GTX 1070 XLR8 OC 8GB Review

Ashes of the Singularity is a real-time strategy game set in the future where descendants of humans (called Post- Humans) and a powerful artificial intelligence (called the Substrate) fight a war for control of a resource known as Turinium.

Players will engage in massive-scale land/air battles by commanding entire armies of their own design. Each game takes place on one area of a planet, with each player starting with a home base (known as a Nexus) and a single construction unit.

We opt for the Extreme quality profile and run the GPU-Focused test using the DX12 game mode.

Judging by the performance numbers shown in Ashes of the Singularity, the initial batch of synthetic tests proved a good indicator of real world performance. The PNY GTX 1070 maintains its place in the hierarchy above a GTX 1070 FE and below the overclocked Gigabyte GTX 980 Ti.

1440P performance is good on the PNY GTX 1070 XLR8 OC using the Extreme IQ setting. At 4K, frame rates dip well below 60 FPS but this game is probably still playable at that resolution given its slow-paced nature (compared to shooters).
