NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card - Dark Platinum and Black

Gets great performance in really any game @ 1440p. If you're looking to game @ 4k reliably I'd probably go with something beefier. But anyways, the reference design is great and my card has kept very cool (even in the cramped ITX case I've got it jammed in to). All I can say is I wish it had a bit more VRAM. Running multiple displays + a VR headset nearly maxes it out. Also, don't give in to scalpers!!!! It allows them to keep doing what they do. Look up methods for tracking card drops & camp out on the BB app Tuesday mornings. Good luck.

"Don't Give Up" I DID IT!!!! I beat the bots i know you can too! I've been hunting for one since launch since this card is a BEAST for price. I watched a lot of "fixitfixitfixit" YT alerts on my 2nd monitor all the time and watched the discord. DLSS is MAGIC in Cyberpunk 2077 i was getting before on my 1070ti i 40fps on LOW now everything is on ULTRA w/DLSS Quality hitting 100fps i'm in love. Good Luck to all who trying to get one. My watch has finally come to an end.

I've had the card for almost 6 months now without issue. It plays all the newest games at the highest settings at 1440p. While it doesn't always max out my 144Hz G-sync monitor, it still stays well above 60fps. Ray Tracing looks amazing, and turning DLSS-Quality on will make the games run buttery smooth without affecting the visual quality in any noticeable way. The FE card itself is 2 slots high and not very long compared, so it should fit in almost any regular sized case. It's also probably one of the best cards for small cases as well. It has a very sleek look, but some people may not appreciate the 8-to-12 pin power dongle, which might be an eyesore to some. It took about a week between successfully ordering the card and it shipping, but that's to be expected for such an in-demand item. You won't find a 3070 for a better price anywhere else. This is literally the only place online that sells these cards at MSRP. AIB brands may have marginally better noise and thermals, but at the cost of several hundred dollars. (Forgive the dust in the picture. I cleaned it afterward.)

It's big, and looks and feels incredibly premium. Undervolts like a boss. I replaced the thermal pads as they would reach 98 C. Dropped temps to staying below 80 C. Haven't seen GPU above 65 C. Fan isn't that quiet, but not that loud. Usually at 800 to 1100 RPM. Afterburner doesn't seem to currently change the rpm after the firmware update. Performance improvement with higher resolutions. Overkill at 2K, and great performance at 3440x1440. A big improvement over a 2080 on water. Bestbuy has been my only reliable source for electronics during these trying times I truly appreciate their friendly and safe staff.

Took me more than 3 months and multiple tries to finally grab this at MSRP. Tips for actually getting one: - Join discord servers to find when BB drops happen - Get up early and get your computer + phone ready - Once discord server/Twitch stream starts pinging, mash that Add to Cart button! - Profit Now as for the card, I'm upgrading from GTX 1070 so the performance gain is huge. Finally getting >60 fps@1440p in Control!

Very late review but still a review none the less. As hard as this was to get, it was completely worth it! This is my first "new" graphics card. First owning the 970, then 1070 both pre-owned. Card is a lot smaller compared to those two, but has better cooling and power! Great for my ITX build. The card surprisingly has some heft to it even if its a surprisingly small card I use this with the Ryzen 3700x and no bottlenecks from what I've seen. In RDR 2 all high settings, I've been getting 60-90 FPS. Most game all on High to Ultra are completly playable, and this is played on a 1440p 165hz monitor. I was fortunate to get this card, so if you are lucky enough to purchase one please do! Good luck have fun and don't give into scalpers!

When I embarked on my first PC build this December, I had no idea the state of the PC market (Covid shortages, new tariffs, crypto demand, etc). Right now is arguably the worst time to build a PC. I consider myself to have been one of the fortunate to get a card at MSRP thanks to BestBuy - it was not impossible, and was persistence of checking the website multiple times a day. This 3070 Founders Edition was initially not my first pick, but after having received it, it is now my favorite 3070 due to being simple and beautiful. In my opinion, the only comsetic downside to the card is the lack of any illumination. This card feels premium and is really rigid. Despite the fact my case only allows for one screw to be used on the PCI slot, this card does not have any sag and is very securely mounted. Performance? Well, the benchmarks speak for themselves. Admittedly, I am still in the process of setting up my new PC and have not had much time with it, but I am excited to know that this GPU should withstand my needs for some time.

**THIS REVIEW IS NOT RATED BASED ON AVAILABILITY** This GPU is fantastic. I built a desktop PC in anticipation for the new RTX 30 series cards. Specs: NZXT H210, i 10700K (overclocked), 32GB RAM, 2 x M.2 SSDs. Modern Warfare is at a constant limit of 144fps 1080p. Phasmaphobia is 240fps - 290fps 1080p. Heroes of the Storm is easily over 240fps 1080p. My system is completely air cooled with be quiet high speed pwm fans and Dark Rock slim pro. I recommend downloading EVGA Precision X1 and adjusting fan curves for case fans. If I don't adjust case fans my GPU stays around 70 - 73 Celsius. Adjusting my case fans when running at 60% speed my GPU will RARELY hit 62 Celcius in a room around 75 degrees. If you have a 1080p monitor you'll be extremely happy and run everything at max detail and max fps for your monitor unless you have the crazy 240hz or 360hz. Haven't used it for 1440p yet. This is a great buy, unless you have a 2080 ti you will go home completely happy and pleased with this item. This works well with ITX cases as long as you adjust case fan curve.
