There is one ASUS 3070 in the 🇬🇧 UK for press only. One card for 70 million people. WTF ASUS? Don’t believe me watch the overclockers video by Tiny Tom Logan today! Vapour Ware Launch.

[@benjy117]

Something tells me Nvidia is going to launch another faster version of these cards by next year. Those temps on the board partner cards are really low and leaves a lot of headroom for more heat exchange. Wouldn't put it past Nvidia to launch another faster version of these cards like Nvidia did with the previous generation after AMD debuts the 6000 Radeon cards. I'm not too sure about those AMD benchmark slides on the Gpu division side. The 16 GBs of VRAM sure does look nice but 16 GBs of DDR6X memory is even better.

[@notshroud39]

As Indian prices concerned, Guys, Don't buy the 3070 AIB cards. At that price you'll get a 3080FE and you'll still save approximately 200$. Do not buy the AIB unless these people drop the price. koi khareedega hi nahi to jhak marke price kam karenge. They are selling them at double prices. And jinke pas extra paisa hai unko kitna bhi samjhao, they are going to buy no matter what the price is.....

[@Shawizzlegaming]

How is th noise while gaming

[@Cam_Wight]

Now that prices are coming down and you've had your time with the card would you recommend it still?

[@zvelekva]

@@Shawizzlegaming I got this Asus card, upgrading from a 1070. The performance is great, but I'm pretty shocked at the level of power use and the heat produced. I have an intake fan blowing directly at the card (Thermaltake CORE V21, so the card is vertical). I crank the fans on the card to max at anything past 60 degrees Celsius because I can change the fans, but not the chip if it degrades due to temps (I like to keep the chip at 55 degrees max). Using noise isolating headphones I can't hear it. Without headphones at max fans you can definitely hear it well. However at anything less than 60% fans even if I didn't use headphones it would be pretty quiet (by the way this would still keep the card below 65 degrees at all times which is perfectly OK). Depending where you're upgrading from do keep in mind that a lot of heat is produced and a lot of power gets used compared to how GPUs used to be. I had to reposition the fans in my case to get a far more efficient set up (no need for it with the 1070), otherwise the card was hitting 80 degrees even at max GPU fans during gaming, i.e. it dumps out A LOT of heat into your case which needs to be removed quickly. Just to give you an idea of what I'm talking about, when I play now I can feel my (quite large) room getting a lot warmer, whereas I never experienced this with the GTX 1070, no matter how maxed out. It's a good card and comparing the Gaming X to it I went for the Asus because it is definitely better quality Having said that, if I didn't have a case in which the card is vertically mounted I would've probably gone for the Gaming X because the Asus has no sag support whatsoever built into the card, nor do you get a support bracket. It's heavy and will in my opinion break your mobo PCIe slot easily. Hope this helps.

I sold my GTX 1080 for around 250 bucks in my currency about a month ago. I really need something RIGHT NOW. As he said they ask for 1000 bucks for a 3070 here also. I have 1400 $ for CPU, MOBO, GPU, and RAM I didn't buy Zen 2 because I waited for Zen 3 but I could have bought a 3900X, 32GB ram and TUF 570x for 700 bucks but I didn't .Sure I can wait 3 more weeks for sure but I have a feeling AMD will let me down.

Im not an Nvidia fanboy, but the 6800 costs 80 bucks more and even 20 bucks more than these two custom cards. Yeah, it is faster, but they only tested it with the memory access feature on their graphs (which should give 6% performance according to amd) which sadly only works with zen 3 cpus. So i believe that the 3070 is the only card that got not destroyed by amd. And it is a better option for me with my 3600x. The 3080 got beaten and the 3090 was destroyed by the 6900xt considering the price tag.

[@Dr.WhetFarts]

RX 6800 won't be 15-20% faster, 3070 is cheaper, using less watts, runs cooler and has DLSS 2.0 - DoA, I think not. Tons of upcoming AAA games will have DLSS 2.0 support including Cyberpunk 2077 which I personally will be using at least 500 hours on. This game alone makes me NOT want to buy an AMD GPU. It will look and run better on Nvidia hardware. You have to be pretty stupid if you believe AMDs own numbers and cherrypicked games and AMD drivers are horrible compared to Nvidia's. I know for a fact, 5700 XT owner. The first 4 months were pretty much hell but some games are still acting weird.. Especially early titles, they pretty much always run bad on AMD GPU.

[@Omega613]

Have to remember that the 15-20% are AMDs numbers and only when used with a 500 series motherboard/5000 series cpu. The extra vram is nice though, if you play at pretty much anything but 1080p high refresh rate.

I was looking forward to these reviews ......................then I saw Amds announcement and these just sorta seem pointless now

[@FrankLeeMadeere]

Content idea: I assume the 7+ GB of VRAM usage shown in SoTR was ALLOCATED, not USED. With all the different VRAM numbers available this gen (8, 10, 16, 24), what do you actually need for present and future 4K gaming? Is there a good way to discern between allocated and used? Microsoft claims Task Manager shows actual dGPU usage, not requested, but I have my doubts as to how much of this is actually needed before performance is affected.

[@newyorkswaggwer]

I was really bummed out about the rumored 3070 16gb, because that with the nvid encoder would have been golden. But with the 6800xt having 16Gb vram and ( expected to be ) at least the same performance. I could bite the bullet and get the 6800xt, or the 3080 if I really want the nvid encoder with at least 10gb vram

I saw the Gaming X Trio might have skimped out on their VRMs. Is it worth buying if I can find one or go with a better brand or basic model ASUS?

[@kingchan6005]

I would like to build my first gaming PC with RTX 3070. May I ask when can I expect a newly released Graphic card to have its supply and demand well balanced such that I can easily buy with a fair price? I feel like even 3080 which has been out for more than a month, the demand is still higher than the supply.

[@Aeysir]

Well this is going to be spicy after today's latest paper launch... 😂

[@Skylancer727]

Wow 7 minutes in and it hasn't sold out yet. Guess the Big Navi event really caused some people to want to jump off the Nvidia ship. XD

[@connorm7005]

It sold out in 1 minute in the US? Couldn't even get one in my cart. Where are you?

[@Skylancer727]

Now 14 minutes in and while Newegg has sold out, best buy still has stock. Massively better than the 3080 launch. Though of course whether it is people just aren't buying it like I implied or it's just the fact it is far better stocked is up for debate.

[@teamtechworked8217]

I just woke up. How long did this card last in stock before going MIA?

[@jbpitbbqgaming2170]

Definitely happy to get the asus tuf 3070! I was looking at the 3080ftw3 but ran into stock issues.. so opted for the tuf 570 and the asus tuf rtx 3070oc 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@_A.d.G_]

You should have used Coffin Dance in the intro. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jeffkuzzen]

the 8gb vram makes this card DOA for me. 8gb simply isnt enough for 4k, for certain titles, and for some future titles. even at 1440p youll see it near the 8gb limit. the navi cards look much much more interesting, with the 16gb vram.

[@rickyrich93]

One thing I believe bears mentioning for these HDMI 2.1 GPUs: Multiple HDMI ports IS important. Sure, Displayport reigns supreme for most PC gamers on monitors, but for anyone who is using a 4K TV (which might be more people than you think since 4K TVs are far more prevalent, I think, than 4K monitors), multiple HDMI ports is incredibly important. Especially, since most A/V receivers are NOT HDMI 2.1 certified. So, if you DO have a HT setup with a HDMI 2.1 TV or are looking to upgrade to one for these GPU or next-gen consoles, having GPU with 2 HDMI ports means you can run one cable to your TV to get HDMI 2.1 things like VRR and a separate cord to something like your AVR or soundbar for audio. Most people with these HT setups aren't going to want to upgrade a TV AND an AVR just to get the new 2.1 ports on a receiver. So, having that second HDMI port is incredibly handy.

[@ollie1505]

I'm trying to choose between the FE and the TUF 3070, which would people recommend (+ justifications please)

[@tedtrager9560]

Nothing like an under-performing, overpriced, unavailable card to energize the holidays. Great job, Nvidia.

[@lenniegodber7805]

To the people thinking that AMD are going to save them then I've got the feeling that you are going to be bitterly dissapointed All tech has been in short supply this year due to increased demand and there is zero indication that you are going to be able to get an AMD card any easier than an Nvidia one
