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
  • 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.
Built for EVGA Precision X1
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.

This is a disaster. 3 months late in the game. I don't remember NV ever had such a crappy release. Ever.

Yeah, that is another thing. For me its pretty cleat that the 700$ for 3080 and 500$ for the 3070 were just broadfaced lies by Huang. Now with the (artificial or real, nobody knows) limited supply it seems legit to just ask for 40% more. Pretty interesting marketing tactic isn't it, say cards are 500, so every media outlet praises great value for money comparet to RTX2000 and then just sell them for 40% more anyways ;)

It wasn't a lie. The MSRP is always what the they say it is but since there is no available items and people pre-order, the prices go up when the product is in short supply. That's just normal stuff.

Caring1Available now (for pre-order).
Yeah, this is bad. For RTX 3080/ 3090, they can blame it on Micron for not delivering sufficient GDDR6X. But with RTX 3070 where its using widely available GDDR6, the most likely culprit for short supply may be Samsung fab. The RTX 3070 is expected to be a high volume part, so the lack of stock till Dec/ Q1 2021 is a bad sign.

Only in this case Nvidia don't get the 40% increase in profit. My take is that they are selling the GPUs to their AIB at the original price, but because of the severe shortage, AIB can sell it at a higher price. Even if Nvidia limits the price that AIB can sell, it does not mean that the distributor or shop will not mark up for their own profit.

In any case, Nvidia's Ampere launch just backfired on them due to poor availability. The card performance is very good, but no point for a good card that you cannot get. If this situation persists. they are going to lose market share to AMD.

I'm very much skeptic about the samsung 8nm node to be blamed. This node is in the production for over 2 years. It has matured enough and the yields are good. I don't think that is the reason. The die for 3070 is not that big as you would expect. So I don't think that's Samsung's 8nm node problem. (It is not great but that's beside the point)

lynx29oh it's available now eh? :roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:
Of course, because nobody wants to buy it. (check yesterday's RX6000 series announcement :D)
I just checked the gh.de website (for Germany) and there were 3070s in stock at one shop, and I wasn't even fast at all.
Go figure.

Forgot to mention that the price is 590€, so pretty much like 6800 but with lower performance and 8GB less VRAM. A hard pass. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

moproblems99Do you think Radeons will really be faster? And basically delivered at the same time?
Possibly, but considering the cheapest card announced starts at $580 bucks who cares. It could come with a free Dr Lisa Su sex doll, but I'm not spending that much cash.

Sure and it is better than 3070 but noticeable margin. BTW the 3070 not only will be available in my area in January but also its price is $680 so go figure.
to bad NV didn't get the stocks right this time around. Would have been a better competition.

Yeah there was more stock than I thought yesterday, I'd hoped AMDs announced cards would make people wait but no such luck, all sold out in no time.

It's probably a lot of people with too much money on their hands and no patience, especially with the stimulus money handouts.

I think a lot would still agree that the cooler on the big card is again ugly, not to mention they have that EK CSQ nonsense dots on the fans of all 3 cards too. Some actual stuff to hate for ya.

Some cards are available in where I live, people probably aren't buying them after seeing that the prices don't really line up with even close the "500 in cash" figure Nvidia came up with.

As for RTX Voce, you might as well get some fancy Tascam DSP and an equally as fancy mic rather than buying a card with jacked up tax prices. That's going to give you A LOT better mic experience than RTX voice.

Lets not talk about esthetics. That is fools errand in my opinion. Besides, a lot of people will go water with reference cards, including myself or buy AIB :) If i get the card that is.

Can't wait for the market to get flooded with Nvidia cards as soon as AMD cards hit. Gonna be lit ;)
