EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 XC3 BLACK

December 9, 2020 by Stephen

The EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 XC3 Black is one of 5 versions of the RTX 3070 GPUs from EVGA. The XC3 Black comes in two flavors standard and ultra and our sample is the standard. I’ve long held the opinion that the xx70 cards from Nvidia and its partners are the GPUs for “everyone”. Past versions of the xx70 cars …

Inno3D GeForce RTX 3070 iCHILL X3

December 1, 2020 by Stephen

Another day, another custom Ampere graphics card — this time we have the Inno3D GeForce RTX 3070 iCHILL X3 graphics card — which I’m going to be throwing into the benchmark ring for the first time (as a new custom card review) against AMD’s newly-released-but-you-can’t-buy-them Radeon RX 6800 XT and Radeon RX 680

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 FE

November 24, 2020 by Stephen

Out of the three GeForce 30 series cards that NVIDIA announced back in September the one I was most excited about was the RTX 3070. The main reason was mainly price, the RTX 3070 is only $499. Lower-priced cards end up getting in the hands of more gamers and with the RTX 3070 NVIDIA is claiming better performance than a $1200 RTX 2080 Ti!

Palit GeForce RTX 3070 Jetstream OC

November 10, 2020November 9, 2020 by Stephen

We benchmark, review and thus test the GeForce RTX 3070 from a board partner that has been among us for a long time, our friends from Palit released their new GeForce RTX 3070 Jetstream OC. We’ll seat it onto our test system to see how well this product performs. Palit overhauled the look and design for the Jetstreams series, and it looks dignified in a darkened aesthetic design. This product will sit spot on GeForce RTX 2080 Ti performance levels and, in due time, will be its replacement.

NVIDIA is expanding its line-up of Ampere-based GeForce RTX 30 series cards today, with the relatively affordable GeForce RTX 3070. Although the card was announced alongside the higher-end GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 during NVIDIA’s GeForce Event hosted by CEO Jensun Huang last month, and was originally due to be arrive a bit sooner, NVIDIA decided to hold off on the official launch until its partners could ramp production and ensure shelves were adequately stocked upon launch.
