EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 Series Available Now
The EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 is powered by the NVIDIA Ampere architecture. Built with enhanced RT Cores and Tensor Cores, new streaming multiprocessors, and high-speed G6 memory, it gives you the power you need to rip through the most demanding games at 1440p resolution. Combined with the next generation of design, cooling, and overclocking with EVGA Precision X1, the EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 Series creates a definition for ultimate performance.
The new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs, the 2nd generation of RTX, features new RT Cores, Tensor Cores and streaming multiprocessors, bringing stunning visuals, amazingly fast frame rates, and AI acceleration to games and creative applications. Powered by the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, which delivers increases of up to 1.9X performance-per-watt over the previous generation, the RTX 30 Series effortlessly powers graphics experiences at all resolutions, even up to 8K at the top end. The GeForce RTX 3090, 3080, and 3070 represent the greatest GPU generational leap in the history of NVIDIA.EVGA iCX3 Cooling Technology
Built for NVIDIA GeForce RTX, EVGA Precision X1 is the next generation overclocking software to maximize and control your EVGA graphics card. With the new EVGA Precision for Game Bar widget, you can get instant access to monitoring and overclocking built right into Windows Game Bar. Want to overclock and monitor without even exiting your game? It's all here.
DXR (DirectX RayTracing)
DirectX RayTracing allows games to simulate how light works in real life, providing incredibly realistic and beautiful graphic effects like global illumination, reflections, and shadows. GeForce RTX GPUs were designed from the start for the demands of ray tracking workloads. Specialized RT cores, found only on GeForce RTX graphics cards, provide billions of rays per second of performance, and up to 3X the frame rate with DXR games and applications. This makes raytracing at real-time frame rates possible for the first time.
DirectX 12 Ultimate
DirectX is an API that enables developers to add amazing graphics effects to Microsoft Windows-based PC games. DirectX 12 Ultimate is the newest version of the API and new gold standard for the next-generation of games. DX12 Ultimate takes games to a whole new level of realism with support for ray tracing, mesh shaders, variable rate shading, and sampler feedback. GeForce RTX is the first and only PC platform with support for these game-changing features.

- ARGB GeForce RTX 30 Series LED - Vibrant, customizable range of color and brightness to light up your system.
- Triple Fan Cooling - Three fans are installed on all air-cooled EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 Series graphics cards to optimize airflow, increase cooling performance, and reduce fan noise.
- Unified Copper Block for GPU and Memory - A unified copper block which EVGA has previously used on the HYBRID cooler solution and is proven to lower both GPU and memory temperatures.
- Asymmetry Fan Arrangement and Design - Asymmetry fan layout to allow the airflow to cover nearly the entire heatsink increasing airflow for better heat dissipation.
- Air-Through PCB - Carefully placed cut-outs in the PCB and backplate improve airflow and decrease exhaust recovery.
- Through-Hole Heatsink Fins - The EVGA iCX3 heatsink features many L-shaped fins with hundreds of through-holes to allow cool air to run through the entire heatsink evenly and quietly.

Cards seem decent and all but I'm only planning to get a 3070 because of the G-Sync monitor, otherwise I'd go with the AMDs all the way. The 980 Pro I got left me without cash to get a new card.
Maybe I should have just gotten the Modal Argon keyboard, hey, at least the synthesizer doesn't downright lose its value next year.
NowNeverAnyway, the cooling on the icx are typically solid!
And in the EU they start at 550 Euros, that is 10% extra for the US price, excluding the VAT.
Gimme a break
I really hope that those 3080/3090 scalpers get burned hard.
Nvidia and many users here on the Forum are sure, that its not a supply issue.
Its the users fault for buying the cards, not nvidias for just not having any cards.
Even though the Ampere Owners Club here in the Forum only has a single Member...
What's even worse is the price. For how much was the 3070 supposed to go for? $450? Well, here the cheapest is for $680
I know it is a sarcasm from your side with this "not a supply issue" but that is serious. Even the 3070 is not in stock.
I only hope AMD really can deliver some cards. I can wait week or two but what NV does is utterly ridiculous.
I really hope AMD can deliver and launches with a shitload of cards. If they do, they will take the whole holiday season sale from NV. I really love when an underdog sticks it to the man :)
Here in South East Asia we get plenty of Ampere stock, though the prices are jacked up sky high. Seems like AIBs are all together on this where they only supply the premium models, while the lower end model like Asus TUF non OC is nowhere to be found (the TUF OC edition is 200usd more :roll: ).
