Kfa2 gtx 1070 hof review in Spanish (full analysis)

We finally have with us the fantastic KFA2 GTX 1070 HOF graphics card with pascal chip, 8GB of GDDR5 memory, triple fan heatsink and amazing white design. We really wanted to try it! Ready for your review? Analysis starts at 3… 2… 1… Come on!

We thank KFA2 for trusting the product for their analysis. Here we go!

KFA2 GTX 1070 HOF technical features

Design and unboxing

KFA2 presents us in a large box of the KFA2 GTX 1070 HOF. On its cover we see the phrase "What´s your game?" and the specific model of the model that encompasses its interior.

While in the rear area all the most important technical characteristics and the main novelties of this magnificent graphics card.

Once we open the graphics card we find a classic bundle:

• KFA2 GTX 1070 HOF. Brochures and Quick Guide. A stick or “ Flex HOLD ” that will help hold the graphics card firmly in your PC. Fixer stick bracket on the tower. Two thieves for PCI power connection.

The KFA2 GTX 1070 HOF it uses the Pascal GP104-200 chip slightly cut in features. This core It is manufactured in 16 nm FinFET and has a reduced size of only 314 mm2 that demonstrates the great concentrated power that the Nvidia Pascal architecture is capable of offering. It is a chip with 7.2 billion transistors, which we can deduce that it is an engineering masterpiece, with a total of 1, 920 CUDA cores along with 120 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The core works with base specifications of 1620 MHz and with Boost up to 1822 MHz.

The GPU is accompanied by 8 GB of GDDR5 memory at a maximum frequency in its 8.316 MHz overclocked mode and with a 256-bit interface to offer a maximum bandwidth of 266 GB / s. A few more than enough figures for a graphics card that will be able to handle most of the games on the market at 4K resolution and with very remarkable levels of detail.

Rear view of the graphics card backplate.

The KFA2 GTX 1070 HOF incorporates the new TriMAX Cooler heatsink equipped with three 9 cm fans, a white anodized aluminum structure, a dissipation with an aluminum grill that comes out internally and even overflows the PCB. Although it does not seem like the heatsink, it occupies a total of three expansion slots in our system, so we must make sure we can place it before buying it in our box, although if you mount an SLI you should think about having a motherboard with a very good layout.

We leave you some images where we see both the side and the top and bottom of the graphics card. Its heatsink and construction is impressive.

The heatsink also incorporates an RGB lighting system in the upper area, which allows us to customize 16.8 million colors and various lighting effects. As expected it has the SLI connectors for the new SLI HB bridge.

We see the reinforcement of the PCB with the backplate and the metal structure that protrudes from the PCB.

For a good power it incorporates two 8-pin power connections.

Finally we detail the rear connections composed of:

• 1 DVI connection 3 Displayport connections 1 HDMI connections HyperBoost turbo button.

What is the HyperBoost for ? We activate a special profile that increases the speeds of the graphics card and increases the revolutions of the three fans. It really shows when we activate it, we can also do it hot without any problem.

PCB and internal components

To remove the heatsink we must remove four screws located on the chip, the rest of the screws are to remove the rear backplate from the PCB. This is the view of the heatsink, as we see incorporates 5 nickel-plated copper heatpipes and a copper surface to cool both the pascal chip.

The KFA2 GTX 1070 HOF presents a custom PCB with 12 + 3 supply phases with a first-class component, which improves heat transmission and better withstands the long games we can carry out. The design is just great, you can see in the previous images that it is a 100% Premium product with G-Anti-noise Ultra Low ESR technology.

Test bench and performance tests

TESTING BENCH
Processor:	i7-6700k @ 4200 Mhz..
Base plate:	Asus Maximus VIII Formula.
Memory:	32GB Kingston Fury DDR4 @ 3000 Mhz
Heatsink	Cryorig H7 heatsink

Graphic card	KFA2 GTX 1070 HOF.
Power supply	Corsair AX860i

For benchmarks we will use the following titles:

• 3DMark Fire Strike normal.3DMark Fire Strike version 4K.Heaven 4.0.Doom 4.Overwatch.Tomb Raider.Battlefield 4.

All tests have been passed with the filters to the maximum unless we indicate otherwise. In order to have adequate performance, we have carried out three types of tests: the first is the most common at Full HD 1920 x 1080, the second resolution is making the leap to 2K or 1440P (2560 x 1440P) gamers and the most enthusiastic with 4K (3840 x 2160). The operating system we have used has been Windows 10 Pro 64 bit and the latest drivers available from the Nvidia website.

What are we looking for in the tests?

First, the best possible image quality. The most important value for us is the average FPS (Frames per second), the higher the number of FPS the more fluid the game will go. To differentiate the quality a bit, we leave you a table to assess the quality in FPS, but we will also have the minimum Fps in the tests that were thus possible:

FRAMES BY SECONDS
Frames for Seconds. (FPS)	Gameplay
Less than 30 FPS	Limited
30 - 40 FPS	Playable
40 - 60 FPS	Good
Greater than 60 FPS	Fairly Good or Excellent

Synthetic benchmarks

As always we have passed the three most important tests in synthetic benchmarks: normal 3DMARK, its 4K version and the Heaven 4 version. The results are far superior to the rest of the GTX 1070 that we have analyzed, since it comes standard up to 2.05 GHz. stable.

Game Testing

We have decided to make the leap to checking various games manually. The reason? Very simple, we want to give a much more realistic vision and cover tests with current games. Since we make an effort, it is consistent with the level of the website and that of our readers.

Software - Xtreme Tuner Plus

From the KFA2 website we can download its Xtreme Tuner Plus management software, What does it allow us to customize? Rather, it does not allow us… We have several established profiles that start an overclock of 5%, we can set the values ​​by hand, control the fans, the voltage and we can access the Hyper Boost functions that we have already discussed previously.

WE RECOMMEND YOURazer Taipan white review

Lighting is one of the improvements we have found in this new version . It allows us to select between several modes (static, by cycles and turn off the lighting system…) and choose from 16.8 million colors.

Overclock and first impressions

Note: Remember that overclocking or manipulation carries a risk, we and any manufacturer are not responsible for improper use, use the head and always do so at your own risk.

Many of you will be seeing that the kernel has not been overclocked and the reality is that it has, but it has had a bad GPU-Z reading. In any case, we were only able to increase +20 points because when the TDP and Power Limit were raised, the graph reached a stock of up to 2100 MHz.

We have also noticed that in our tests, raising the nucleus hardly always represents a 1 to 3% improvement , while if we upload the memories (as in this case they are Samsung) we can gain up to 10% more power.

Temperature and consumption

Consumption lives up to expectations set at 68 W idle and 261 W at full performance. All this playing with an Intel Core i7-6700k processor and air dissipation. It's great!

Important: The consumption is of the complete equipment.

The temperatures of the KFA2 GTX 1070 HOF are really good, we have obtained 33ºC and it reaches a maximum of 55ºC playing in 4K resolutions. As the overclocking has been quite moderate, because we did not want to force them, the temperatures have barely risen to 61º C.

Final words and conclusion about KFA2 GTX 1070 HOF

The KFA2 GTX 1070 HOF is one of the best graphics cards on the market that we have tested this year. It has a spectacular design, brutal performance and incredible overclocking ability.

In our tests we have verified that it is capable of moving any game in 2K to Ultra and in 4K it defends itself as a champion. The results in overclocking have been really good, since as we mentioned just by enabling a greater range of TDP and PowerLimit, the graphics has only reached 2080 MHz, while with overclocking we have overcome the 2.1 GHz barrier… although we are surely you could scratch something else.

Regarding refrigeration, it is great, since it barely reaches 33ºC at rest and 55º at maximum power. It has a beautiful design and offers RGB lighting that gives an incredible touch to our system.

It is not one of the cheapest GTX 1070 that we have seen but its 525 euros for sale stands out somewhat from the average, but it compensates for all its features. A 100% recommended purchase.
