5.0 out of 5 starsAmazing 1440P Gaming Card
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 27, 2022
I had been wanting to upgrade my GPU for a while now but couldn’t due to the insane pricing that lasted for so long. Finally managed to grab this Gigabyte Gaming OC 3070 TI for 649.99. I upgraded to a 3070 ti from a 2070 Super and the performance gain was massive. I gained nearly 30-40 FPS in every single game. I play everything from new AAA titles to MMOs like WoW Classic to indie games. Dying Light 2, Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, etc. I can play these new AAA games at Ultra Settings 1440P with Raytracing and still get normally well over 100 fps. Stuff like indie games, E-Sports games, MMOs like WoW/FF14 I can play Ultra 1440P and hit my monitors max refresh rate of 165 fps at all times. It’s amazing. I included pictures of the GPU in and out of my system. It’s a pretty beefy card. Make sure your case has room. It’s a 3x slot design with 3x fans and a back plate. There is some subtle RGB lighting on the card which you can adjust to your liking. The card itself I can’t ever hear. I have mine overclocked +500mhz memory clock and +100mhz core clock. My core clock runs at 2070mhz and memory clock at 10,000mhz and my GPU never passes 64-65C under full load. All this while being silent using auto mode fan speeds which never pass 70% speed. The GPU is quite, powerful, looks good, and doesn’t sag when installed. Amazing card IMO especially for 650 US dollars. When overclocked you get very close to the performance of an RTX 3080 for significantly less money. I have this GPU paired with a Ryzen 7 5800X, and 32GB(4x8GB) of 3600mhz CL16 memory. On an Asus X570 Prime - Pro Motherboard all powered by a Seasonic Focus 80+ Gold 850 Watt Power Supply. As a whole the system runs like a dream. Anything I wanna play at 1440P Ultra settings I can well over 100 fps. If someone had a 4K monitor they could easily game at 4k on this GPU provided they have a good CPU to match its power. So far not had a single issues with this card. Of all the 3070 ti models it’s considered an A tier model. With some of the best components, VRMs, overclocking, cooling, and power limits. If you can get this GPU for 700 or under its well worth it IMO. Check out the pics and thanks for reading. EDIT - Reading other reviews I notice several people complain about the software and RGB on the card. For me personally I have had no issue with either. The lighting looks great, has worked flawlessly since install and took me two mins to set up. The software while not amazing takes a couple mins to install. Once I installed it and matches the RGB lighting on my GPU to the color profile of everything else I hit save and that’s literally it. I’ve never had to touch or open the Software ever again. Used it one time for two mins that’s it. If I wanted to change the pattern, lighting, color, etc of the GPU I easily can. As you can see in the pics I run a blue/black theme setup and I basically leave it at that. If your someone who constantly changes the lighting and colors in your system maybe the software might have some issues idk. For what little time I used it to setup my lighting it worked perfectly and has kept my profile saved without me ever have opening or used it since. You can even make it so the lighting is one way/color when the system is on and a different way/color when the system is off. If your someone who plans to install it just to find a lighting color/pattern you like and save it/leave it for me it worked flawlessly. Had the card 3 months now still working like it did from day 1.
