About this deal

While gaming with the default BIOS, the card does get a bit loud at 2000 RPM and noise levels of almost 40 dBA. The temperatures stay at a cool 68°C. Not bad. In memory terms, then, you have the speedier, smaller GeForce RTX 3070 Ti facing down the slower, more capacious Radeon RX 6800. The deciding factor is, of course, gaming performance, and once again there's plenty to talk about when comparing Nvidia Ampere and AMD RDNA 2. More on that in the performance section below.

Technically, the RTX 3070 Ti can still play all of the test games at 4K, just not always at more than 60 fps. Nearly half of the games we tested came in below that mark, with Valhalla and Watch Dogs Legion being the two lowest scores — and they're still in the mid-40s. The RTX 3070 was already basically tied with the previous generation RTX 2080 Ti, which means the RTX 3070 Ti is now clearly faster than the previous-gen halo card, at half the price. GeForce RTX 3070 Ti: Ray Tracing and DLSS Gaming PerformanceVereiste is op basis van een pc die is geconfigureerd met een Intel Core i9-10900K-processor. Afhankelijk van de systeemconfiguratie kan een lagere energiescore voldoende zijn. So there's great pedigree in that memory technology, which is at the bleeding edge of high-bandwidth chips today. Micron doesn't offer it out freely, either. Nvidia is, so far, the only GPU manufacturer to offer it in its products. I'd expect it to stay that way, too; GDDR5X memory remained an Nvidia-exclusive for the duration of its life. While using the Gaming BIOS, the average temperature stays at just 66°C. With temperatures that low, you might assume that the fan curve would be pretty aggressive and result in very high noise levels. That isn’t the case here. Fans do jump up to 2000 RPM, but noise levels never exceed 37 dBA.

Moving to the side, you will notice a long strip also dedicated to RGB. There is also Suprim and Geforce RTX branding which is RGB as well. There’s also a BIOS switch on the side of the GPU and the two 8-pin connectors. In my mind this comes down to the decision to adopt only pristine GA104 GPUs for the RTX 3070 Ti. That's necessarily expensive and Nvidia nets only a small increase in CUDA Cores with the full graphics silicon; just 5%. Nvidia therefore needs to search out further performance wins elsewhere to attempt to hit its competitive goals versus AMD. Its greatest strength may not be in exceptional price or game-changing performance but instead in the mere fact it exists.While idle, temperatures drop down to 45°C. While under 50°C, the fans stop completely. Of course, this is a feature you can find in almost any GPU today.
