MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3070 LHR 8GB GDRR6 256-Bit HDMI/DP Nvlink Torx Fan 2 Ampere Architecture OC Graphics Card (Ventus 2X)

The media could not be loaded. Pros:- Doom Eternal runs 70 FPS at 4k with RT and DLSS on and all settings maxed out, except for texture pool size which doesn't fit into 8gb. No impact on how cool the game looks tho! My CPU is also 10 years old and it doesn't even matter!- Small form factor, fits into tight spaces -- it's not too thick and not too wide and not too long - it's just the perfect size- Overclocks great BUT games might crash after 30 minutes of play if you overdo it, even if Unigine Heaven stress test passes.- Looks slick af. Just love holding it in my hands. No RGB stuff - some people might find it a con, but my box is always open so I don't want too much light while I'm asleep.- Inexpensive. I got it for $525 before the price went back up. I thought that is the max price I'd pay for it. Right now it's $100 extra which seems overpriced -- go for 3080 instead if you need one now.- Fans completely stop when idle, great for noise level and all.- 225W power draw at its peak, according to Afterburner. You'll need two separate cables from PSU (not one that splits!). This isn't too bad: a 3080 is probably 50% more power hungry.- Overall, great experience owning this card. No coil whine. Most games work great at 4k (with DLSS).Cons:- Fans spin at ~90% during active gaming. But if you push them to 95%+, some weird noise appears (See video)

Very powerful gpu despite relatively small cooler. GPU with the cooler is not that heavy and I don't notice sag. Temperatures get as high as 85C if I don't adjust the fan curve. When I set the fan speed to 90% it never goes above 70C under heavy load. The fans are also not that loud surprisingly.A con I would say is that the fan blades look very cheap and flimsy. It does the job but I can't help think that a blade or 2 might break off.I know these gpus should be cheaper by now since next gen are coming. But economic problems and Nvidia protecting profit complicate price drops. It's amongst the cheapest 3070 but performs quite well.Must be used in a well ventilated case since it doesn't push air out.

This card is the bang for the buck right now. You should install MSI Center (that has a bunch of useful apps) and MSI Afterburner right away. In Afterburner, run the overclocking scanner, which takes about 30 minutes, and apply the results. Once it's applied you should be good to go. See attached G3D score; you'll be in for a treat! I got 26,248 (not overclocked, default voltage). Median score is 23,115 on PassMark website. I'm very pleased with this result. Games look amazing! I was thinking about getting a more expensive 3070 or a triple fan, but if your case has a good layout and you don't have an itch to OC, then just get this card.I added a picture of the card in case. Two things to note. First, my PSU is 550 watt, which is plenty for max TDP of 220 watts. Second, another reviewer said they needed a PCE cable that didn't split, but I used one that split and got the above Passmark score and GeForce Experience confirms it reaches 100% in some games.As for games, I wanted to mention Doom Eternal runs at on max settings (100+fps 1440p). Elden Ring runs at max settings (60fps 1440p) typically using only 50% of GPU. As for the new Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, I cannot run at max settings, but the fps is consistently good enough on high settings (60+fps 1440p). That game is also a CPU hog with Ray Tracing/DLSS on max distance (using 50%+ of my Ryzen 5 5600X 6-core) . The temps were building up with both the CPU and GPU running under heavy load, but it was stable and the game is beautiful!

Always a fan of NVIDIA graphics cards. Chose this one do to size. Card works great with respect to grahics and fram rate. When gaming, heat rate and then fan noise increased significantly. If you have liquid cooling, or case space limitation, this card may be a good choice if you don't mind the noise and extra BTU's.

I upgraded from an AMD RX480, which in it's own right held up a long time and played what I needed to.The 3070 has been perfect for my needs though.Still playing current titles, ran all the games I put it through.Which includes things like the long library of steam indie titles, WoW, Starcraft 2, Baldurs Gate 3, Mass Effect Trilogy, Apex Legends, TFT, Cyberpunk, all those ghost hunting games that want to eat up your framerate. Even streamed with it and everything was smooth as butter with OBS!Just keep it updated, and graphically this beast will handle all you need it to.

Been waiting forever for the scalping to stop and costs to go back down to MSRP. Now is the time. I was so excited by EVGAs stock that I got one, only to realize the card is nearly a foot long. In order for that to fit in my current rig I would've had to get a new case, and new RAM so I could top-mount my AIO cooling. Would've made the whole thing a 1000 venture. Somehow, MSI wins again. My old 1070 was also a 2 fan MSI and that thing was rock solid, able to play newer games even at high settings. I'm keeping it around just in case. Anyways, I was elated to find this 2 fan 3070 that was somehow shorter (but thicker) than my 1070. It can run a bit hot in my rig, hitting 84-86. OK, but not where I'm comfortable with it for long gaming sessions. EZ fix: use MSI afterburner and set the priority to temp rather than power and it will keep it to your setting without issue. Even at a lower temp it still clocks itself higher than your standard 3070.
