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

This graphics card is everything I was hoping for from Nvidia! Almost a year ago, I started building a small form factor PC, with the intent of putting a 3000-series graphics card in it. I was looking forward to the next-gen die shrink, so that I could get a lot of performance without too much power consumption (a huge plus for SFF builds). Well, a year later, this card does not disappoint! With some undervolting tweaks, I managed to get this card to run at 1875MHz and only 180W, which is more than manageable for any case with adequate cooling. In my specific case, the Dan A4-SFX, I had to make a few minor tweaks to make it perform optimally. For one, this card has some funky exhaust directions (out the rear, up, down AND through the backplate!). To compensate for the down exhaust, I added fans to the bottom of the case in exhaust direction. I also doubled up the stand-offs for the GPU riser, so that it would have extra space between the card and the back of the case compartment, for that pass-through fan that pushes air out the backplate. A secondary benefit of the extra spacing is that the front of the card is closer to the side panel now, for easier access to intake air. Overall, I am incredibly excited for this graphics card! It managed to play Monster Hunter on my 4K TV at 100 FPS, with G-Sync... what a beautiful experience hahaha. The best part... the heatsink it comes with is incredibly efficient, so it doesn't make a racket to keep the card cool. With the undervolt, it's even more impressive. I consider myself very lucky to have got my hands on a 3070, especially this Nvidia model!

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.

**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.

This GPU is incredible. Exceeds expectations in 1080p and 1440p in all AAA games. Amazing look, and great performance. Does not disappoint. If you can get your hands on one of these, get it. You won’t regret it.

I got super lucky with getting this graphics card, I installed it into my PC to replace my older gtx1060 and what a difference it made both in terms of performance and in looks. I really bought it for VR gaming and the performance doesn't disappoint, if you can get your hands on a 3070 it's definitely worth it.

I was one of the few lucky ones on launch day. Great GPU. Good upgrade from a RTX 2070 Super. I'm very happy with it. Runs about 5deg warmer than the 2070 Super. I have to use an aggressive fan curve to keep it close to 70deg C. The fans are pretty loud at 75%, which is the only way to keep it cool. So expect to hear the fans under heavy use, with an agreesive fan curve. Good luck. Kind of worth the hype.

Purchased this the day of release for my new PC build. This graphics card is AMAZING. I can see the difference in quality in comparison to my old PC. I would buy this product again if they have another release.

Love it. Constant high FPS and gorgeous visuals with raytracing and dlss. GET A GOOD MONITOR IF YOU ARE BUYING THIS!!!! I cannot stress that enough don’t waste $500 to play on a $100 monitor or tv if that’s you’re vibe get a cheaper card.
