I got this card for my first PC build. Unfathomable upgrade from console gaming. Absolutely in love. Paid extra for it but it is worth every penny spent :)
I bought a pre-built for cheaper than I could build one and thought the components would be shit. But when I got it, not only were the components actually good, I got the EVGA 3070 FTW. I was freaking surprised as hell.
Just bought one off Facebook $400 i can’t believe a lot of online stores still selling them for $800-$1300 CAD but it’s a nice upgrade from R9 280 with some bottlenecking but it play far cay 6 nicely.
Got this GPU a year and a half ago. An excellent albeit expensive card. I recently upgraded my processor to an R7 5800X and combined with this card, there's almost nothing I can't play at max settings, 1440p, 75fps. Feels great haha.
Amazing!! I’ve been looking into the R5 7600X for the next upgrade with this card, but the R7 5800D isn’t a bad option either. I’m currently running the R5 5600x.
@@techcontrolofficial I upgraded from an R7 1700 and it made a world of difference! I hear good things about the R5, but I don't think I could ever go less than eight cores again. The R7 5800X for its 'on sale' price right now is one of the best price-to-performance ratios I've ever seen on a CPU! It's hard to go wrong with any of the Ryzens at the moment though.
That’s dope except for the people who been in the queue since before Jan 11th (they still are only a week into the queue) we got to save 70 bucks off the current msrp as they raised the price

It is a beast of a card for sure, has amazing tmeps and gameplay. I am satisfied with it. Also EVGA has the Px1 software which allows you to overclock.

After lots of research I decided on this card for my first build. I unfortunately had to reinstall my Asus GT730 card to have it operable. I managed to learn of the EVGA wait list and received confirmation I will be contacted. Given I'm in Canada, I am curious if any Canadian's have recently received one? Like most of my build I paid a premium for an element of future proofing, I'm curious what the eventual cost people are paying to get this as the web site price is in US Dollars. I did lots of home work to find this card and like that it has Gen4. I'll be using it with a Samsung UHD monitor so I'm feeling good about my choice but not the potentially scary price by the time it's in my hands. Thanks!

The design of xfx 5700xt model you have (according to your graph), is not good. The side blocks too much airflow and performs badly. Yes it’s good it includes the support bracket but it’s not worth it. The comments you made on the EVGA backplate design “nothing crazy here” may refers to the aesthetically design. However, the cooling performance of the pcb and backplate is exceptional if you compare to other rtx 3070. It doesn’t trap heat and has good heat dissipation! This is a very good gpu in terms of performance and you are not giving accurate info for your audience.
Hey, thanks for the feedback, yeah the xfx 5700 was a poorly designed card. As far as the evga 3070 FTW3 I think it's a beast and I totally recommend this card. This video is not an in depth technical review by any means, it's a quick video I put together our of excitement cuuse I had finally found one. You can check out tons of other videos that explain all the technical specs with temps and airflow and the materials used to design the card. They even have teardowns to show you exactly what kind of screws are used along with the thermal paste etc. Hope that helps.
The FTW3 is the flagship that evga makes. The XC3 ultra are just as good with a few differences in my opinion mainly more powerful VRAM, higher overclocking potential and the a ability to run cooler for longer periods. Here's some more info: amp.reddit.com/r/TEAMEVGA/comments/ikwpdg/difference_between_ftw3_and_xc3_cards_for_the_new/
Awesome! Thanks both of you. I had a Strix 3070 but the shroud around the fan fell off so I sent it back and the place I ordered it from offered me this one instead.
I really have no clue why people say this card is a good 1440p card, Its an amazing 4k card, I paired it with a 5600x and I see 300fps in most games with settings maxed out at 4k, the lowest ive ever seen in my system is 80fps in super graphically intensive games, still in 4k maxed out
I wonder why the 3080 rgb strip looks different from its 3070 version. The 3080 rgb strip looks silver when its off and white text. But the 3070 has black text and its a white bar. Not that it matters or anything but i found that kinda odd lol
That is interesting, Nvida is probably like "WE NEED IDEAS HERE TEAM!" and that's what they came up with lol. They were probably distracted by AMD catching up.
Yeah I noticed that as well lol, and thought it was a defect. Apparently it's made like that so the wires don't come in contact with the upper heat sink. I even tried to bend it back in place thinking it would fix it but it's too strong and it wouldn't budge.
I read online with others having similar issue with bent fins on 3080's. I was going to RMA mine but didn't want to deal with the wait times and left it as it is. But I can see if the heat fins are seriously bent or one side is all touching it can be a concern.
@@techcontrolofficial hmmm is that your overall score or graphic score? You should getting more points non the less. I have 3070 XC3 BLACK, and i have a chance to upgrade to your exact card, this is why i am asking. Here is my results: ibb.co/n3whCQT
12353 is the score and the average for my setup is 12434. During the first test I was recording the screen for a video I was making. Without the screen recorder running 12353 is the score. Also the AMD chips are RAM hungry currently I have 2X8 3000mhz installed and I may be able to gt a higher score with more RAM at 3600mhz.
From Canada Computers, so I kept checking for the stock and as soon as I found one I emailed them to reserve it. You have to email them because it's curbside pick-up only. The emails are time stamped and that's how they determine first come first serve (as one of the employees was telling me).
Do you have a radiator in the front? If so then it may not fit. If you do NOT. have a a radiator installed in the front this is what your left with. So reading online: Cable Management: 16.3mm GPU Clearance: Up to 325mm GPU Max Thickness: 44mm CPU Cooler: Up to 165mm Front Radiator: 85mm Rear Radiator: 42mm PSU Length: 311mm. And the EVGA RTX 3070 is 300mm. It's cutting it very close because the evga 3070 is a tripple fan card. amp.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/cn97vd/nzxt_h210_and_gpu_clearance/

@@virgulinoferreira3472 That's cool man! My mobo has rgb headers controlled by MSI Mystic light, but to synch it with all the other rgb installed I may have to use a rgb hub and connect the 3070 to it.
@@techcontrolofficial Update. turns out the FTW3' RGB pins are for the GPU to act as a controller, not a client (ex. if you connect a fan at the GPU's pins, and it supoorts RGB, the fan will light up accordingly to the GPU). But my Motherboard doesn't see the GPU's RBG. So, I use the MB's software for All the RGB (AIO, fans, NVME) but the GPU and it's fan, these I control with PX1.
@@virgulinoferreira3472 Ah OK, I didn't bother to plug anything into the GPU pins, although it's a cool feature of yuu lack rgb headers on the motherboard. I use the MSI control panel and have the front rgb and cooler rgb synched (rainbow loop) and the gpu is in the rainbow loop be default which I find looks cool.
Thanks for the feedback, there are many things I could have had to be honest, but when starting out you use what you have and over time learn and build the video recording/editing skills. Thanks for watching!
Already got 2 3090 asus strix . 1 in my rig and a extra still in package to smell . Lol. Just got a phone call from a retailer saying they had an evga 3070 ftw3 ultra to sell if i wanted it . Not what you know ... its who you know
The 2X 8 pin are the power connectors that come from the power supply and plug into the side of the GPU (or front if your looking at the gpu installed). The GPU does not come with the 8 pin connectors.
It is an expensive card, out here it goes for $899 Canadian, but I had purchased it for $829 end of December. Still a better price than scalpers who are asking $1100.
Oh word? I guess with the holidays it got delayed. I find the stock and availability ridiculous, I mean these cards are impossible to find. If you do find a new in box from classified sites these scalpers are charging up to $300 more than the MSRP. Also I noticed retailers increasing the prices every time a new batch arrives. I have seen the price of the EVGA 3070 FTW3 go from $829 to $859 and now its at $899. Hopefully your card comes in soon.

@@techcontrolofficial thank youu. im on the evga queue for this one. probably will arrive....never haha
Ikr lol, I have a few videos on this card and I love it. Let me know if you have any issues or questions. Hopefully you get it soon!
What’s the difference between this and the XC3 ultra?
The FTW3 is the flagship that evga makes. The XC3 ultra are just as good with a few differences in my opinion mainly more powerful VRAM, higher overclocking potential and the a ability to run cooler for longer periods.
Here's some more info:

Are any of those display ports 1.4 and is the hdmi 2.0 or 2.1?
Yes
3- DisplayPort 1.4a
1- HDMI 2.1
Right, I use dp to get 165hz cause hdmi will max out at 144hz.
Awesome!
Thanks both of you.
I had a Strix 3070 but the shroud around the fan fell off so I sent it back and the place I ordered it from offered me this one instead.
Damn that sucks, I'm sure you'll enjoy the gameplay on this one!
Congrats I guess in this case the card found you 👍😁
Hopefully this card will be better than my GTX 960.
Absolutely it will be, your basically skipping 2 Gen's (10 and 20). When did place the order?
@@techcontrolofficial ordered it a few days ago, it has shipped earlier. Should be at my place in a few days.
Sweet! Let me know how the gameplay is. Your going from a Ford focus to a Mustang
Congrats on the find! 👍
I really have no clue why people say this card is a good 1440p card, Its an amazing 4k card, I paired it with a 5600x and I see 300fps in most games with settings maxed out at 4k, the lowest ive ever seen in my system is 80fps in super graphically intensive games, still in 4k maxed out
I wonder why the 3080 rgb strip looks different from its 3070 version. The 3080 rgb strip looks silver when its off and white text. But the 3070 has black text and its a white bar. Not that it matters or anything but i found that kinda odd lol
That is interesting, Nvida is probably like "WE NEED IDEAS HERE TEAM!" and that's what they came up with lol. They were probably distracted by AMD catching up.
Does it come with a metal ring?
No, all you get is a piece of paper lol that's about it.
@@techcontrolofficial really that’s sad cuz I saw it somewhere
Anyone else notice the bent heat fin near the 8+8 power? lol
Yeah I noticed that as well lol, and thought it was a defect. Apparently it's made like that so the wires don't come in contact with the upper heat sink. I even tried to bend it back in place thinking it would fix it but it's too strong and it wouldn't budge.
I read online with others having similar issue with bent fins on 3080's. I was going to RMA mine but didn't want to deal with the wait times and left it as it is. But I can see if the heat fins are seriously bent or one side is all touching it can be a concern.
@@techcontrolofficial right on. Good to know. Helping my cousin with a build and he ordered it so now I know not to let him freak out
What's the lowest PSU someone is running with this card just curious
im going to run 650w
@@aaravvs I'm still running my 550W perfectly glad I just tried it lol
Do you have TIMESPY results by any chance?
Not at the moment, I'll run that as well and get back to you.
@@techcontrolofficial any updates?
@@fpshooterful Time Spy Score I got 11063.
@@techcontrolofficial hmmm is that your overall score or graphic score? You should getting more points non the less. I have 3070 XC3 BLACK, and i have a chance to upgrade to your exact card, this is why i am asking.
Here is my results:
ibb.co/n3whCQT
12353 is the score and the average for my setup is 12434. During the first test I was recording the screen for a video I was making. Without the screen recorder running 12353 is the score. Also the AMD chips are RAM hungry currently I have 2X8 3000mhz installed and I may be able to gt a higher score with more RAM at 3600mhz.
worth $570 today?
Same thing i want to know, before buying it
where did you buy it from?
From Canada Computers, so I kept checking for the stock and as soon as I found one I emailed them to reserve it. You have to email them because it's curbside pick-up only. The emails are time stamped and that's how they determine first come first serve (as one of the employees was telling me).
i bought one of these for $350!
My i9 10900k is just sitting there waiting for one 3080 card :(
I know that feeling, did you place an order yet?
Ooof good luck
can you change the lights on it?
Yes you can using the PX1 software. I'll post a video about that as well.
Here it is:

How long is this thing
Height: 5.38 in - 136.75mm
Length: 11.81 in - 300mm
Width: 2.75 Slots
Would this fit in a h210?
Do you have a radiator in the front? If so then it may not fit. If you do NOT. have a a radiator installed in the front this is what your left with.
So reading online:
Cable Management: 16.3mm GPU Clearance: Up to 325mm GPU Max Thickness: 44mm CPU Cooler: Up to 165mm Front Radiator: 85mm Rear Radiator: 42mm PSU Length: 311mm.
And the EVGA RTX 3070 is 300mm. It's cutting it very close because the evga 3070 is a tripple fan card.

Regarding RGB, do you have a controller?
Like a software, to customize it?
The Px1 software has all the tools for OC, Fan Control and RGB controller.

@@techcontrolofficial My AsRock B450M Steel Legend has an RGB controller that can control several RGB deivces, and the 3070 FTW has connectors for it. :D
@@virgulinoferreira3472 That's cool man! My mobo has rgb headers controlled by MSI Mystic light, but to synch it with all the other rgb installed I may have to use a rgb hub and connect the 3070 to it.
@@techcontrolofficial Update. turns out the FTW3' RGB pins are for the GPU to act as a controller, not a client (ex. if you connect a fan at the GPU's pins, and it supoorts RGB, the fan will light up accordingly to the GPU). But my Motherboard doesn't see the GPU's RBG. So, I use the MB's software for All the RGB (AIO, fans, NVME) but the GPU and it's fan, these I control with PX1.
@@virgulinoferreira3472 Ah OK, I didn't bother to plug anything into the GPU pins, although it's a cool feature of yuu lack rgb headers on the motherboard. I use the MSI control panel and have the front rgb and cooler rgb synched (rainbow loop) and the gpu is in the rainbow loop be default which I find looks cool.
Eww that squished heatsink fin. I hope you didn't do that while inserting the PCI-E power connector.
Lmfao I accidentally bought this
Dude which case u use
MSI MPG Series
us.msi.com/PC-Case/MPG-GUNGNIR-111M
I will upload a video with all the parts in my current build
Se puede controlar el RGB?
можно менять цвет подсветки?
Could have had a better camera angle and a better view
Thanks for the feedback, there are many things I could have had to be honest, but when starting out you use what you have and over time learn and build the video recording/editing skills.
Thanks for watching!
Already got 2 3090 asus strix . 1 in my rig and a extra still in package to smell . Lol. Just got a phone call from a retailer saying they had an evga 3070 ftw3 ultra to sell if i wanted it . Not what you know ... its who you know
We get it bro you got graphics cards, you don't need to let everyone know that you can get 3, when they can't even get their hands on one 🤦♂️🤦♂️
just got my 3070 tuf gaming bro
Sweet! Congrats on the find. What CPU are yuu currently running?
@@techcontrolofficial Ryzen 5600x, rig is a beast
getting my fourth 3070 from EVGA today, i just want a 3080!!!
Is it working good?
Yeah, it's a beast! From temps to performance. It'll do the trick for a while with most modern titles.
@@techcontrolofficial also does it come with the pins?
Which pins, for the RGB at the back of the card?
@@techcontrolofficial the two 8 pins in the front
The 2X 8 pin are the power connectors that come from the power supply and plug into the side of the GPU (or front if your looking at the gpu installed). The GPU does not come with the 8 pin connectors.
in my country this card cost 990 euros =(
It is an expensive card, out here it goes for $899 Canadian, but I had purchased it for $829 end of December. Still a better price than scalpers who are asking $1100.
been waiting for mine since the 11th of December.
Oh word? I guess with the holidays it got delayed. I find the stock and availability ridiculous, I mean these cards are impossible to find. If you do find a new in box from classified sites these scalpers are charging up to $300 more than the MSRP. Also I noticed retailers increasing the prices every time a new batch arrives. I have seen the price of the EVGA 3070 FTW3 go from $829 to $859 and now its at $899.
Hopefully your card comes in soon.
