- This review and benchmark of the NVIDIA RTX 3070 Founders Edition GPU looks at thermals, power, gaming, overclocking, and performance vs. the GTX 1070, RTX 2070, 3080, 5700 XT, et al.

We sold out of our first run in under 48 hours and our second run in just a few weeks, so these go fast and back orders help make sure you get one)
Sorry, there's an error in the specs section at 4:00. We based it off initial info from announcement, but final spec is actually 14Gbps memory and 448GB/s memory bandwidth. That doesn't change any benchmark data, but the specs table should read 14Gbps and 448GB/s.

Benchmarks today look at the RTX 3070's performance in gaming most heavily, but also include a big focus on thermals (including GPU, MOSFET, & GDDR6 memory temperatures), mechanical design and pressure application, frequency boosting, and overclocking. The gaming benchmarks include a lot of video cards, but some noteworthy ones are the RTX 3070 vs. GTX 1070 comparisons, RTX 2070 & 2080 Super comparisons, and AMD RX 5700 XT benchmarks. Remember that you can always look at old charts and determine a relative percent difference between your current card and something that is on these charts, then roughly approximate where yours would fall relative to the 3070 (just some simple percent scaling math will work). The GTX 970 could be compared in this fashion.

Twitter DM's are turned off but hey here's a cool thing that Australian PC store PC Case Gear sent me via an email regarding their 30 series cards and how many order their numbers will fill: www.pccasegear.com/rtx30
With a Boost clock of 1.725 mhz its only clocked a bit higher then the RTX 2080TI not much in it between them
any average % vs the 2080ti?
When are the 1 million subscriber T-Shirts shipping? Purchased one about a month ago just havent had an update email for shipping. Thanks
so what about the "faster than 2080ti" claim? bs?
The RTX 3070 coming to a scalper near you
Just go on EVGA's website and click the notify me button. They reserve a card for 8 hours once it gets to your place in line. You have 8 hours to log in to the website and complete your purchase. EZPZ
@@Rex_Smashington thanks man but I already in queue for the 3080 lol
Why the cheapest amd card beats the 3090 in benchmarks
"Scalpers" only exist when a product is being sold below market price. Blame the manufacturers for not making enough supply before launch or not setting the launch price high enough.
Only if he's lucky!
The 1080 Ti: the first 4K-ready card.
The 2080 Ti: the first 4K-ready card.
The 3070/3080: the first 4K-ready card.
Also they said that for gtx1080
@@riba2233 And I'm pretty sure people then argued the 980 Ti was also 4K-capable (it was called "VR-ready"!). Now, the lowest-end GPU will offer, the 3060 Ti, will have the same performance as a 1080 Ti, but you can be sure people will call it a 1080p card.
@Salt Maker Thats new to me considering i play exclusively at 1440p on my 1080ti with no issues. 60-150fps depending on the game.
the 1080ti is a 1440p card
Dont argue without facts boiiis hahaha here is the thing 3070 isnt 4K if you do, you will exceed its 8gb Vram hence its crap.
And the 1080ti runs 1080p in 200-240fps or more so it can easily run 1440p and definitely 4K just pair the card with a decent CPU ( of couse with AA and other useless settings Off )
Also depends on the 1080ti edition, if you use founders then you will thermal throttle in no time and loose performance then be ignorant enough to thinl the card isnt strong....
@@TacticalReloadGaming umm... I suggest looking at benchmarks or just literally this video. The 3070 is much better for 4k than the 1080ti, despite the vram
Linus, Paul, jay: here's some performance and fps benchmarks
Steve: here's every piece of info possible as well as a shit ton of graphs
Arguably information that no one cares about. We care about performance to price the rest is "nice to know" but won't influence my purchase decision.
I don't think it told me on a scale of 0-1 on whether the 3070 blah blah is gonna be in stock say... 2m after skus go live. I disappoint...
I kid of course it won't.
I mean, it's at least different than everyone else
@@SpaceAce114 that's knowlege, not "nice to know" things, this guy is putting a hell of an effort for those that are interested on knowing. If you don't care, go to a channel where the guy will pretend to be stupid so you don't feel uncomfortable with yourself. It will cost you less than 2 cents ;)

Yes it is, the bicycles are what's being used to deliver the cards worldwide.
As soon as you'll finish reading this comment, the card will be out of stock. Sorry.
Damn you! Why would you waste my time like this?!?!?!
already is
Where did it come out?
That's pretty optimistic that you assume that it was in stock at all.
@@kgjung2310 legit they just stole them from the warehouse. The customers of the scalpers couldnt wait anymore.
teardown countdown begins. I like the look of this cooler a lot more but there’s a lot of plastic impeding airflow from the looks of the brief shot we got at the start of the video. The straight-through cooling at the back should be of benefit though
Soon!
soon...
The plastic cover isn't impeding any airflow. The first fan has 3/4 of it blow straight through, while the 1/4 of it blows onto the angled fin stack that's open towards the pcie slot. Then the second fan has 1/2 blowing through straight fins out the rear io and 1/2 through the angled fins out the open part on the top around the power input.
@@OTechnology Does that mean you’ve tested it?!? You muppet.
I’m mostly interested in how small this will be when you rip it down for either an AIO or water block. It looks like a super small pcb, and personally I find that amazingly sexy.
New gpu's releases
Me: spends entire day at work watching reviews/teardowns.
As I'm doing right now lol. It's been almost an hour of watching reviews. I should probably get back to it
Given the prices these things will be gouged for,it’s going to be more a ‘Tear-downer’ than a teardown!

I've seen claims that nvidia actually has a better supply of 3070s than the 3080s and 3090s had, but.... well; I think scepticism is the better choice in almost all scenarios.
@@DoomsdayR3sistance I've read stories about fairies and flying pirate ships and some invisible fella who lives in the sky called GOD ... but I tend to believe my own eyes and ears and live in the real world instead.
Not even for sale here in the UK, new egg and amazon don't have any listed. All 3080 and 3090 are sold out and reference isn't available.
@@sopcannon so true
It warms my soul to see Nvidia sent their entire stock of 3070's to YT reviewers :D
it would warm my soul for nvidia to send me a single 30-series card in exchange for monetary compensation, just one god DAMMIT
@@jkubed95 I had 3 chances and didn’t buy them I’m so dumb
@@jkubed95 lmao. I bought a 3090 fe from someone who has a friend that works at nvidia for 2k. It is one of the review samples so its tested and top of the line quality and parts to you know, for reviewers. Has slight coil whine though.

Pff, good luck getting one before 3080.
2:50 Missed everything you said for about 10 seconds while watching the dust settle...
I was blowing at my screen lol
To me it moved more like a small spider on a web than a piece of dust.
Yeah, I was thinking spider, too.
I paused just to look for this comment. lol
yeah, starts at 2:45. i totally zoned out
Thanks for the review GN!
& Congrats for having the best review channel in existence!👌🏽👊🏽👏🏽👏🏽
So, it's 2080Ti for half the price, a lot smaller, with lower power draw and improved DLSS...it's ok by me.
The issue is , you can buy a 2080ti, you cant buy this for now.
Yep correct
And think the 2080 ti can be found for the same price or lower, (at least when 3080 launched). It seems to actually sit between 2080 super and 2080 ti in many titles as well.
@@Akumetsubg and? Literally not a problem.
@Slakers No, the 1080 ti was in 2080 level of performance.
16:05 - These gaming charts are always valuable. Sitting on a GTX 1070 currently and really taking a hard look at the 3070/3080 since I was planning on building a new system this holiday season. Really will be interesting if Big Navi can be disruptive.
To be honest I have zero interest in watching this video for the actual card, as the launch will just be another shitshow of incompetence. Watching this strictly to support GN, you guys are doing god's work.
listened to the start, jumped over some of the noise charts to the FPS in games (4K?) and then to the final conclusion.
i am so bored by the 30xx release by now and since the 3070 is not going to be really great at anything,
except hopefully bringing down the price of older 20xx models...
**meh! :-/ **
Always the best reviews, and you never have to break NDA early. :D
Was really happy and fortunate I was able to buy the 3070 founders edition today, it was a much needed upgrade since I’m nowhere as knowledgeable compared to my friends with computers and had been using my first pc they put together back in 2014 using a Gtx 760. I recently put together my new pc about 3 weeks ago hoping to get the 3070 on the 15th which would’ve been a nice birthday present but glad I was able to purchase one today. Love your video and I can’t wait to get mine on Nov 5th!
A lil Blender with optix render time would be much appreciated.
Optimum Tech have Blender Optix benchmarks
@@rous3369 thanks man. Interesting
In the first few minutes Steve said "This is fine" almost as many times as Intel said 4700u.
Go Gamers Nexus! The best, most detailed reviews. I love your work. Very interesting and obviously done with a lot of love. Keep up. I hope to contribute somehow myself as soon as I get back on my feet.
A big hello from a poet in Croatia
Thanks for the awesome review again GN. Congratulations on 1m.
Thanks Steve!! I bought a 3070 Black Gaming from EVGA because it was one of only a few in stock at my local Micro Center. I really wanted the 3080 but this had plenty in stock so might as well. It's a huge upgrade from my 1080Ti which I loved dearly. Nearly all my title games have maxed itself to 144fps or close to it on 1440P. I'm pleased. If it's meant to be a 2080Ti replacement, I'm still happy I have a 2080Ti for half the price ;)
Thank you for finaly mentioning the (legendary) 970GTX!
No other tests even mention this card anymore, while it still has a market share according to steam.
The 3.5 gig is seriously lacking going over 1080p though. I suppose the time has come to open my wallet again.
I have the GTX970, and will replace my GTX970 with this NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition this week. I will keep the GTX970 btw....
Most technical reviewer on YT. Wonderful work Steve!
Great review as per usual, so much so, I bought a mat, lets hope it gets to the UK :-) nice work, keep it up!
The amount of information you guys provide in your review videos has gotten to such an mind blowing amount, I am purely impressed. Kudos to you !
I miss the good old days, when you could get superb great GPUs for 300 bucks or less.
I mean you still can. 5600 XT destroys 1080p and entry-level 1440p and that's last generation.
Just watch how fucking good the RTX 3060 and RX 6600 will be, they will be around $300.
Minimum wages went up in many places, more checks are in place for health and security at the mines and factories (yes mines. Go think about where the silicone comes from).
Also inflations plays a role.
Be glad that the cards cost more. It means that a lot of people get at least a little bit more money.
6700xt may do so. 6600xt is also in the works
@@Waldherz Yea I guess the mining of SAND takes big part in the final price of your card... Not.
@@Waldherz Most of that money unfortunately goes to the people high up the chain who don't really need it
Great job as always.
I love waking up to a GN video

Great 45minutes Video from Igor and now your 34 minutes on top + Linus approach of 10 minutes. Thats gonna be a great evening. Much love from Germany guys. And keep up your great work.
Sorry Steve, Im not really interested in this. I want the review of the Nvidia bike.
Damn bike fanbois.... :D
It's already up, and it wasn't good xD
Yeah, sick of this gpu shit. I asked for a Steve/Vince e bike showdown.
Especially the Jensen leather seat edition
That bike comes with a RGB headlight what should shine 1,7x faster!!
This was a really good review. Very thorough.
would love to see some production benchmarks next time :)
Never clicked so fast. Skipping from MKBHD's PS5 unboxing.
Bring on rdna2, Nvidia have had been bleeding consumers dry for years.
I mean, we know who's the beast !
You're subbed to Marcus Brownlee? Seems a bit basic, I get all my tech reviews from iJustine.
I like how RUclips never recommended mkbhd to me. I do watch gn ltt and jays2c. And different tech tech tubers.
MKBHD makes bare minimum, surface level videos devoid of any meaningful content. I will never understand his popularity.
Can’t wait for the big Navi review. Hoping to get my hands on one on launch 🙌🤞
Hey thanks for including the 1070 in the gaming benchmarks
Great channel.. MSI RTX2080Ti owner here. With an added bios and an EK waterblock... I can't justify the upgrade to the 3xxx series.
Thanks for mentioning 970 hangers on like myself lol. This is exactly the cars I was looking at. I game some but not a ton so this looks like a good option.
It hurts my soul to see the 1080 on these charts.. but at the same time it's good to see an upgrade is finally worth it
That piece of lint falling down the center of the frame was so majestic 2:52
"yeah, we've got one"
Omg I even heard it in the voice. The verge went viral for the wrong reasons XD
Would you guys be able to add vr games to the benchmark suite? Nearly no-one on the internet (that I could find) does head to head benchmarks in vr. Which is a space where the 3000 series cards actually shine and the upgrade might be valid.
Exactly! Just do it with Alyx already..
Agreed. With the high resolutions VRAM should also become more apparant.
I believe they've discussed it before. Can't remember the specific video. But the general answer was that they've experimented with it, and determined it was way too much hassle for what it's worth. Because let's face it, we VR users represent a minuscule portion of his audience.
@@kronusaerospace8872 while true, this doesnt seem to stop any reviewer from tossing out 4k benchmarks more than any other, despite the amount of ppl running 4k monitors being the near equivalent to the amount of people with a VR kit at home lol
@@Exata1337 you don't even need a 4k monitor to measure 4k performance, can't say the same about vr

Early gang! I'm still waiting on my 3080 I ordered on launchday.. This is looking tempting.
It's almost two years later, and I feel lucky to have just picked one up at msrp...
The beginning of this video got me hyped for the next couple days.
I love Nvidia's new "virtual" line of products that only exist on reviews and "how to attempt to destroy one of the only 100 cards that exist" videos :)
we watch streamers play our games for us, RUclipsrs break our gpus for us
Hey, they got to get those reviews out before AMD launches their cards. Wouldn't want reviewers comparing AMD's new cards to the terrible pricing of Turing. Instead Nvidia launches first and gets praise for providing good value cards, despite prices still be higher than normal. Brilliant move by them, they created a problem they fixed and got praised for it. It's good to see GamersNexus hasn't fallen for it though.
@@giglioflex Ah yes, again, put all the blame on Nvidia for AMD's failures. Nvidia ANNOUNCED their launch event almost a month in advance. On September 1st, AMD knew everything they needed to know to get ahead of Nvidia but what did they do? Nothing apart from announcing an annoucement of a launch event. Like gtfo with that bs.
@@DimiS1978 AMD just dabbed on Nvidia lmao
@@david8FCB dabbed? What are you 3 years old? There are no official 3rd party benchmarks yet. $50 less than a 3080 is nothing, not even the price of 1 game.
Now that availability and prices are approaching levels I am comfortable with, I’m going to replace my MSI GTX 1070 with an FE RTX 3070, so this video is just perfect. Thanks so much for including the 1070 in the tables, really helps understand the gain.
Pretty much in the same field; I've a GTX 1070 Ti and will replace it with the RTX 3070. Because of him adding the 1070 to the charts helped me decide to subscribe his channel.
Just won the best buy lottery and bought one for msrp. Also upgraded from a 1070. Totally worth it.
Wow most in-depth review of this card I've seen.
Im sitting in line to pick one up now. Been here 9 hours. Can't wait
Finally after a year and a half the cards are at msrp and easier to find. I feel bad for anyone who spent 1k plus on one

Those are the most sophisticated tests I have seen on any graphics card review on youtube.
Steve, I have a GTX 980 reference card that I overclocked and is surprisingly not melting itself to death and still holds up decently @1080p! I always think about what you say on e-waste when I look at newer GPUs. This year will probably be the last one for the card because it's a fucking airplane, but I'm happy I held on to it until I felt a real and logical reason to upgrade.
Sometimes it's hard to not get carried away by the moment and buy something that you think you need even tho it's not entirely true.
Thanks for keeping it real.
Love how the Asus TUF is just decimating everything in relevant performance metrics for gamers.
Asus is going to price the 3070 Tuf at $695 because they now know they made the best card too cheap.
Oh yeah, was waiting for a Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme for $900, but a $700 TUF for a 1-3% difference in performance and superior cooling/build quality? Yes, please!
Too bad Asus is only manufacturing the TUF OC now (more profitable).
I
@@The1Mischief all of the AIB partner models are like this for both the 3080 and 3090. 1% differences and such.
Yeah it’s funny, the TUF line of products has had a really TUF time for years and then bam! Big quality. Though honestly, who in their right mind would dare to make a garbage $700 USD card? I think that’s basically why.
Anyone else noted at 2:48 a little plume starts descending from top to bottom in front of Steve? Was so gracious that I missed everything he said during that haha
Still watching "das blinken RAM lights" to the left of him. :-)
Ordered mine this morning. Its perfect for what I need.
Great content and conclusion. Love my 2070 Super at 1440p. Maybe another year of AAA RTXOn. Will see if new consoles up game engines.
Hooray for paper launch v2.0
As a casual consumer most of this goes in one ear and out the other (which is probably to be expected) but I really appreciate the depth of information you provide in these reviews.
Cards so good even the sentient flying dust spec makes an appearance @ 2:51
Can't stop watching the RAM LED animation @31:41 :-)
I'm only interested in zen3 and big navi but I'll still watch to support GN for the outstanding work you do
@EUROPOL Intl. S. Let's wait for real benchmarks before we make final conclusions
@EUROPOL Intl. S. Wait and see. They are powering next gen consoles don't forget.
@EUROPOL Intl. S. Anyone with an actual developed brain has seen the credible stream of info that rdna 2 is out to trade blows
What settings are you guys running horizon zero dawn at? You say "custom" in the video. Wondering because I get drastically different numbers with my 3080 in that game. I know cpu matters but the difference im seeing shouldn't be that large.
damn, i was making a video about blender performance of 3070 only to found out i was late :/
Great review as always!
So happy we can get for them 400 dollars now
Thank you for the review.
Now I just need to figure out whether or not I'm unhappy enough with my 1080ti's performance to upgrade. Meh, I should probably just drop down to high settings.
Thank you so much for including the 1070 in there. Now the dilemma: wait for a 3080 to show up or jump on the 3070 bandwagon...
I think it depends on the retail price in your country thou. The 3070 is only about 200 USD apart from each other in mine and I'm compelled to get the 3080 instead.
I assume what he said about the 1070 applies to me with a 1060 so I’ll definitely be on the watch for partner models and stuff like that for 3070 and 3080 and possibly see if they release a 3060
The answer is to compare vs. AMD and make your decision then, and no sooner.
Always wait for Partner Models. And wait for AMD. ITS Always worth to wait " a little"
Just wait for 3070 super and 3080 when amd launches their gpu.
Still gonna wait on RDNA price and performance.
Don´t forget the drivers lottery with AMD...
@@Morpheus-pt3wq yup drivers..... id pay $500 dollars more for stability. Did AMD cards once I ain't doing it again. I'll happily wait.
The 6900XT is on par with the 3080 so the 6800XT or whatever should be on par with the 3070.
@@victorsegoviapalacios4710 AMD showed a card with 3080 or just under 3080 performance at their Zen 3 event. If anything, an AMD shill would accuse him of undershooting by calling that unknown card the 6900xt.
@@ShawFujikawa we got some borderlands 3 footage and some performance numbers for a gpu we dont know specifically which, for all we know it was the 6900 XTX(thats the name) which if thats the case their limited stock gpu does not impress me. Might as well buy a 6800 xt and bios flash it to an xtx
How about adding video editing tests with these gaming tests? Like how these cards stack up on DaVinci Resolve where GPU ram and cores might mean something.
I wont even bother try and buy one of those!! Still in queue 370 after almost two months of pre ordering 3080:D Just going and hope for BIG NAVI now!
6 months from now they'll come out with the Super series at the same price so I'll take my time with a purchase and maybe check out the AMD benchmarks in the meantime as well
Linus review: Go buy this now, its not great but its ok.
GN Review: Don't buy this unless you need it, and don't add to the already stupid scalping and over-consumerism, marketing BS
Both are basically "not great but ok"...
That piece of dust that started falling at 2:49 made me try and ipe my monitor twice
I would be interested to know how much power is being drawn through the motherboard's PCIe slot (75W max spec) and how much from the PSU's 8 pin PCIe power connector (150W max spec)? Surely this card is drawing more power than the official specifications for these? I hope this gets the same mention as it did when the RX 480 first launched and was found to be drawing too much power from the motherboard.
I listen to so many tech channels that I can't remember who said it, but it was reported that some retailer had 500 of these as if that was something to brag about. Show me Newegg's, Amazon's, or Best Buy's parking lot with an 18-wheeler unloading pallets of the things and maybe I'll be impressed.
All of Denmark to date has gotten like three hundred 3080s and they have like 8900 pre-orders still unfulfilled. nVidia is stupid as hell for not making more of these cards. I don't care what "historic launches" were like - you make the best generational performance leap in over a decade and couple that with a pandemic where every tech worker is stuck at home and you get yourself easily tenfold demand of the 2000 series. Probably more.
When microcenters are getting 12 cards but had a line up of 200 people there's a fucking problem and I don't care if Jensen wants to call it a "demand problem, not a supply problem" it's a goddamn supply problem.
I've been watching every retailer in my country like a hawk and I'm convinced my entire country has not seen a new shipment of these cards since launch day.
@@Weaver_Games think nvidia got fucked royally by samsung and everyone bashes nvidia for it. Despite getting fucked, these cards saw 10x the demand, and that's how we got here
Literally the only review worth a damn
GN + OC3D + Guru3D online review, everybody else is a bonus
That's simply not true. GN does great reviews but so do a couple of other reviewers such as Hardware Unboxed and Digital Foundry.
@@EarthIsFlat456 Digital Foundry are sellouts lmao
@@Dudi4PoLFr TechPowerUp does some good reviews as well. Otherwise Ye I agree.
@@EarthIsFlat456 The Digital Foundry review of the 3070 is crap. GN's _thorough_ review blew DF's lazy review out of the water.
Who is this awesome new sponsor “Us” They even covered Kyles review today.
I loved the ending quote about being happy with the card you have now. Being a 60 series user i wanted a 3080 just to upgrade. Navi leak claims make it worth to wait for more info and partner cards for the 3070 come out.
I think the AMD will be faster than 3080 or similar and would cost not far off to 3070 -) Unless of course you like the RTX or DLSS in a few games, I don't play any of those games and currently have 2070...
@@itftcomputers The oc 2070 prices didn't drop to much after the SUPERS came out so when Nvidia 699 sales pitch hit I thought i NEED that card. It's funny, so did a lot of other people. :)
"If you are happy with the video card you have now there is no reason for you to upgrade just because something new came out, hold on to it, make the cards that you have last as long as you can and then upgrade when it really truely makes sense because you are unhappy with the performance you have."
Is a good statement, I have been running a pair of GTX660 cards for a few years now. Though, have been thinking of upgrading to a pair of 1650 or similar.
I run two cards due to having a lot of monitors, I don't run SLI, though some workstation tasks I work with could really make use of some more modern GPUs.... But main reason I am interested in upgrading is to reduce system power consumption... (Gets a bit toasty in summer...)
Don't buy the 1650, buy the super if you are going for it, the 1650 is really sad when compared with the super just for a few bucks of difference
i am happy with my 3090
@@thegamehud8214 nobody care about your gpu man shut up
@Patrick Soto They're using it for work, not gaming.
@@michaelschueffler That's even more reason not to buy the bottom of a stack.
My 970 feels old now, and it actually is :D Full AMD this time when they'r in stock o.O
yeah right
just got one of these bad boys for comp gaming. poggers
Can you look into nVidia's OC Scanner on these Ampere cards? It'd be very interesting to see how the easiest overclocking option compares to the limited manual option this generation, especially on cards like the RTX 3080 TUF or FTW3 with a good deal of thermal headroom but not much for power.
Me: Wow this is actually a great price to performance card
Also me: as if it'll actually sell for msrp
it will eventually. If you want to have it fast, pay then. Else, wait 3-4 months and get one.
@@santiagoferrari1973 nah, I'll probably just pick up a 6800xt instead.
@@ItsRossinator If that doesn't sell out instantly.
So you didn't bought your 3080 for msrp? Why not?
@@__Mr.White__ Because none of them are at MSRP?
I was browsing new sites for information about 3070. I guess, after that video, I don't have to anymore :D
I find the 30% PWM thing interesting. I can run my case fans at 20% and sometimes 1 of them stopped spinning at that setting so it was borderline.
Dang nexus and LTT almost uploaded. 3070 review at the same time... finish the LTT now watching the boss
I'm gonna get one these but the "Out of Stock Edition"
