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.)

Obviously this is not an easy card to get your hands on right now. I got lucky and was able to snag one of these by using an app that notified me when it was back in stock. This is an amazing card all around. I wanted this card specifically because I really like the aesthetics. It's a very sleek looking card with a premium feel to it. And I liked the idea of having the original version of the 3070. In regards to performance, it runs everything that I have thrown at it with ease. Gaming at 1440p with all the highest settings with over 120 Frames per second. The card runs very quiet and does not get over 70 degrees Celsius. This is the best value card for 1440p gaming right now in my opinion. High recommend this card.

It took a lot of time out of my weekdays every other week for a month and a half but I DID IT. This card is perfect for 1440p 144hz AND is at MSRP, which is a huge plus in these times with gpu shortages and such. The card is sleek and simple with the metal around the sides and built extremely rigid and is heavier than you'd think when you first pick it up. Performance on this thing is a beast. For 1440p gaming this is the sweet spot for price to performance especially if you're pc budget is under $2000. The temps can get a little higher than I'd like to see, i sit around 68-70C, though i also have my case fans set to quiet most of the time with the 4000d airflow. I do sometimes spike up to 74C (it's been more common recently with the temperatures getting hotter and our AC not working currently), which is above what I find to be the thermal throttle line of ~70C, but just upping the fan curve by about 5% (and a little more on a hotter day) usually brings it back down to the 68-70C range. I have an overclock of +133mHz on the core which so far has been stable for over a month. I have this paired with the 3700x (the 5000 series was difficult to come by when i bought it) and there is no bottlenecking at all. My frames are almost always 100+, except for places in ARK that have a lot of structures, but that game's also poorly optimized so that's too be expected. I play all games at epic/high settings which looks great and gives me plently of frames for it to be a very smooth experience. Good luck to everyone who's trying to get a gpu, it's difficult but it's possible with some dedication and luck. I would recommend to anyone to join a notification server on discord, they're so helpful and the reason I got a card.
