Innocent White: KFA2/Galax GTX 1070 Ti Hall of Fame under review

What is white, slightly overweight and even really fast within the framework of their genes? No, we are not writing about a full Snow White on Speed, but the Galax GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Hall of Fame, which is held in Europe for trademark reasons. KFA2/Galax uses a modified GTX 1070 Hall of Fame board for the GTX 1070 Ti Hall of Fame, but with slightly improved assembly. This, in turn, is not a cost-down, but also takes into account objections from our previous reviews similar to... Important preliminary remark We had already mentioned it at the beginning that almost exclusively the resulting boost clock rates of each GTX 1070 Ti determine the final performance and thus the so-called GPU lottery and not the manufacturer and model....

Summary

White card, white vest? Almost, because the manufacturer does not make any real mistakes except for the trimmed chip (for which he can't do anything). On the contrary, by changing the voltage converters to eight real phases with clever coils, it has become an overall better card, which operates much quieter than the GeForce GTX 1080 Hall of Fame and still somehow still in the performance can keep a certain connection.

Of course, we were extremely lucky in the GPU lottery, because it was the famous six with extra number and oak leaves. The 2152 MHz achieved permanently with less than 1.1 volts and air cooling are certainly an exception, but they were really fun during testing. If you stand on white and the board can't visually deny a certain addictive factor, you are welcome to access it if you get one.

According to our information, the delivery situation at Nvidia partners is now very limited and since Christmas nothing has been shipped in significant quantities. This is bitter in that this card would have been a really recommendable solution.

Per
Balanced
Cons
– interesting design
– good power supply
– high OC margin
– hardly spool-feathers
– cool
– OC only by software
– Noise level under load
– no semi-passive mode
– some what's buzzing fans
– relatively heavy and large

Conclusion

To distribute a purchase tip for this now would almost be a mockery, because how can you recommend something that is actually not available for purchase at the moment? That's why we used our Editors' Choice, because the map is already extraordinary enough to praise the manufacturer at least in this way. The current RRP of EUR 490 is, of course, rather wasteful, given the availability, but we cannot change that for the time being.

It is and remains of course a trimmed GeForce GTX 1080, which is also not available for purchase. Seen in this way, this is also relativized again, albeit unintentionally. Let us hope that the mining bubble will eventually burst, otherwise the gaming on the PC will eventually be mausetot. Ok, then maybe the consoles will come under the wheels next, we wouldn't be surprised.
