RTX 3070 1440p Review 2 years later!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- In this video I'm doing an updated review of the RTX 3070 to see if it can handle 1440p, specifically the ASUS ROG STRIX Model at 1440p. It's been 2 years and many driver updates. So lets see if it's aged well and still worth the buy today. I also go into the current market and what pricing you should consider when buying an RTX 3070! I will be doing a follow up with the RTX 3070 vs the RX 6700xt please get subscribed to check that out.

Picked up my 3070 for $525 with a free game on Black Friday. I'm happy with it, first upgrade in 10 years from my 970
But gtx 970 is not 10 years old dude 🙄
@@Kaustab01 yep, you're right. Good memory! That along with some RAM I added a few years later to keep it limping along
@@NokturnalMTG when did u bought ur 970?
970 was my first gpu with my pc! Lots of love for it. I upgraded to 2060 two years ago and then just yesterday I got a 3070 :) can’t wait to take it for a spin later
Bro wtfff sameee it was tough out here it felt like I was playing Roblox when I played warzone
I just upgraded to a 3070 from a 1060. it's quite a jump for me. every game I play easily gets 60+ fps now. mainly because I don't play at 1440p. I still play at 1080p with max settings. one day, I'll pick up a 1440p monitor, but my vg248qe is still working great.
Hey there, honestly depends on the monitor size when you need 1440p. Most games still look amazing at 1080p
Similar situation here. I don't wanna buy a new monitor when my current one still works well!
@@jannclaudebinoya My issues for the last couple years was. I bought better monitors and then FPS tanked so I was constantly chasing a better GPU: 1080 to 1440p to 1440p ultrawide to 1440p Super ultrawide(32:9). I'm not touching 4k ultrawide till the 6090 or 9900Xt come out
@@BlueprintPC 1440p is quite a big jump from 1080p
Dell offers a curved 1440p for about 250$ on amazon i would go for that when you do upgrade 1800r curve.
Thank you for all your work in this upload! It shows that the 4000 series is a "Skip" and it is wise to wait for the 5000 or 8000 from team Red.
The 4000 series is not a skip but doesn't fit many needs. The 4000 series is for 4k 144hz max settings players and streamers but it's mad expensive so many just get a 3000 series or an amd gpu.
@@okdudewhyareyoulookingatmych Nahh 4080 can't run all games on 4k even 60hz without dls so ..... Raw performance not satisfied😒😒😒😒😒😒
@@okdudewhyareyoulookingatmych I’d say just get a 3070 or 3080, that will last you for like another 5 or so years. Maybe even longer since graphics in games haven’t really increased since RDR2, a game from 2018. I’d say don’t bother getting a 4000 series in 5 years, but instead get a 5000 or 6000 series, since they’ll probably be out by then.
@@CrazyBrosCael id say to only ever buy a 40 series card if you have the new ryzen 7 / 13th gen cpus other than that the 40 series is a waste of money other than obv the 4090 if you have the money
@@CrazyBrosCael 3070 and 3080 will last 5 more yrs? 8GB and 10GB of VRam would like a word w u... Even the 12GB 3080 won't have enough VRam in 3-4 yrs😬
Such an awesome card, I managed to buy a used one for 240usd here on Argentina, supposedly mined for 4 months before the crash, we inspected it and it seems to be in perfect condition, so happy to had been able to upgrade my 1060 :D
damn thats cheap
a used** not an 🙂 (it's not my main language)
I waited 2 years for 3070 for the price to drop and to be actually in stock. I finally bought one few days ago and it`s a big upgrade from my 1660 ti. I play at 1080p and it`s more than ok. Also, i have i5 9600k and contrary to the popular opinion it`s a great combo.
Hey there, Some get stuck in a snobby way when it comes to combos. My wife has been using the 3070 with and R5 1600AF and it's been good to her. She will get an upgrade but she has been happy with no complaints so havent been pressed to do yet. but soon...
Just got mine lol is it still good?
I’ve been using an MSI Trio 3x 3070 for 2 years as well. Never run into any cooling issues or
Performance issues. 💪 solid GPU, more affordable now than when i bought it tho haha
But definitely recommend it for a start up build in 1440p gaming. 🔥
The Trio's are a very nice card as well! I over paid for mine as well...big sad!
@@BlueprintPC MSI 3070 X TRIO was $1,000 here, before it went out of stock a long time ago. I just paid $630 for a TUF 3070 (3 day national holiday discount price). I can only find 3 more left in the country. Other shops have been out of stock for more than 6 months.
Upgraded from a gtx 1650 as a temp gpu for a year since prices were abysmal to a msi suprim 3070 and the jump is fantastic, can olay any game at 1080p ultra extreme at very smooth frame rate and 2k, 4k is deffo possible
I do like both Nvidia and AMD cards. Having 1440p card with 8gb ram is just to limit performance in 4K on release and force customers to more frequent upgrade in couple years when textures will get heavy on memory.
I've been using a 3070 for 2 years. Yes, it can definitely handle 1440p quite well. It can run most games pretty well at 4k as well.
Yes. I was going to say I'm playing games in 4k all the time.
Exactly. My 3050 has been able to handle most games at medium setting at 1440p and get close to or maintain 60 fps. That’s starting to change with next gen games recommending cards like the 2070 though. So the 3070 give it that last extra push to both be able to go for high-ultra settings at 1440p AND future proof you for games that will be harder to run so you can keep that 1440p 60 fps minimum
Can you let us know how you managed to hurt yourself installing 4090? So that others can be careful during installation.
Just bought a Used Rtx 3070 Founder's Edition a week ago that was used for video editing with 2 month warranty still left for 288 USD. 💥💥
Upgraded from a Rtx 2060. This will buy me some time till the Rtx 50 series is launched. ⏳⌛
Good content.
• IMO, for average gamer RTX 3070 is plenty for another 2 years. I've just got mine for 400 EUR 'used' (factory sealed) as some unfortunate scalpers are forced to sell brand new stock that they originally bought for 1100 EUR.
• However there is one peculiar case for 1440p or 4K online competitive gaming that might become a trend in the future as more super detailed open worlds are introduced. Hunt: Showdown by Crytek has vegetation so dense, abundant and detailed that it's impossible to see other players hiding in it unless you play in 4K or at least upscale using NVIDIA's (DL) Dynamic Super Resolution, etc. I bought an RTX 3070 just to be competitive.
Well stated, nice score on a sealed unit!
I agree. I'm still on 1080p and I know other guys can see what doesn't showup on my screen.
Getting a new rtx 3070 for 500cad (~380usd) has been a huuuge upgrade from my rx 570!
Wow, yeah I would agree, solid upgrade! The 570 was a sweet budget card for a while there. My wifes rig used to rock one.
Got my FTW3 ultra for $350, the dude said it had been running undervolted and its been running fine for a few months now, it barley even had any dust on it.
Sounds like a solid buy! Nice work
Nice video and well presented mate. However, as this was a test on how well the RTX 3070 has aged in two years, then you probably should have included a few graphically intensive games from this year, e.g. Dying Light 2, A Plague Tale Requiem.
I do plan to update my "test games" I have DL2 but can buy Plague tales, looks good anyways. Thank you for your thoughts
@@BlueprintPC No worries man. Keep up the good work. 👍
@@BlueprintPC you can get plague tale with gamepass on pc i think, only $10 so if you just want to test it beats paying $60
@@BlueprintPC Yea dont forget about Gamepass those games are on there (well plague tale)
@@MMaRsu I might have to get that, I want to play the Newer gears of war also so might as well
Came across this video when researching this card. Bought my co-workers ROG Strix 3070 v2 OC for $250. It's a beast
For now, but in 2-3 years as texture files increase, I wouldn't be surprised if 50%+ games will exceed 8gb. IMO, combining low-medium settings with ultra/high texture details makes a dramatic difference in visuals as a GPU ages. You'll always get more mileage with the higher Vram competitor(RX6800 non XT). This is super important for individual who keep their cards for 4-6 years.
Agreed and well said! That is something I have planned to mention in the "versus" video
I dont think it will ever exceed 8gb at 1440p especially, with the kind of compression optimizations we have now and stuff like resizeable bar even at 4k to be honest most games that 'use' 10+ gigs of ram actually dont use that much they just get it if the card allows it
@mehe I don't think that's accurate. Older games already use 5gb @ 1440p while newer titles are sitting around 6.5-7.5gb. I guarantee 💯 in 4-6 years most AAA games will exceed 8gb @1440p with textures maxed out. We will probably start seeing this trend with newer titles soon, especially in modern game engines.
The only reason why you are seeing games only using 6-7 GB of VRAM at 1440p is most likely because you only have 8GB of it. The entire allocation process is designed to never reach and exceed the VRAM you have, otherwise the system will be unstable and crash. I've recently upgraded from a 1080 to a 3090 just because it's basically the same price as the 3080ti, never thinking I'll ever need 24 GB of VRAM at 1440p, but surprised to see Apex legends consistently using 10GB, Rdr2 using 15-16GB, while poorly optimised titles like Sniper elite 5 go as far as 20GB. While the games certainly would run with less VRAM, having more gives you the headroom that would help reduce stutter and deal with poorly optimised games better.
So I hope you are correct! Optimization can play a part. When watchdogs legion was first released it almost maxed out my 3080 10g. Since then they have got it under control. Who knows tho, I worry some game engineers are getting lazy.
Running a ryzen 5 3600, 16gb 3200mhz, gigabyte aurous master 3070. Runs nearly everything I play st max settings on 1440 60+fps.
Of course it can... I use a 2070 super in 1440p and run over 200fps on max settings in Warthunder
My daughter has my sons old Palit 3070 GamingPro card and it plays RDR2, Fortnite, Forza and The Finals on 1440p high settings with no problems at all. Great card, no regrets buying it. My son now has the Asus 4070 TUF Gaming OC card and I’d say it’s a slightly better 3070 but with an extra 4GB of VRAM. If the 3070 had come with 12GB then it would have been one of the best cards of all time.
Got my 3070 ftw3 ultra on b stock not too long ago for $419 game every day at 1440p with it love it
Oh how we will miss EVGA
bought a 3070 for $350 locally from a computer enthusiast. love this card
Nice buy!
Same. Got a 3070 for $350 a few weeks ago. No issues and loving it.
Just my opinion, I think you need to summarise the results of the benchmarks. Not everyone will watch the benchmarks.
I play most AAA games at 1440 144hz medium settings with a 6700xt Merc by XFX and couldn't be happier
I just picked up a Asus TUF 3070 for $275. Swapping out my 2080 for a small upgrade on the low low. Hoping to get rid of my frame drops in cyberpunk with raytracing. If it can keep me above 60fps at all times in cyberpunk with ultra everything I’ll be happy. Right now I’m between 40-80fps on my 2080, goal is 60-80fps
Heck of a deal for a 3070
Wow, was it used? I just spent $350 on a used ASUS Dual OC 3070
is that 1080p or 1440p
1030 to 3070!
1080p + x1.2 Resolution Scale on most games where you can set the resolution scale or apply DLSR 1440p on Nvidia Control Panel,
I'm currently using R5 3600 + 3000Mhz 8x2GB, what you recommend to upgrade first? CPU to 5600 or 1080p 100hz Viewsonic Monitor, because the prize different is different..
Hey there, so thats a tough one. Your build is solid so I would lean toward a monitor as hopefully the 5600 should stay cheap ish since 7000series is out.
Upgraded from a 2070 super for this card! $375. Can't wait to try this out! Thanks for the video!
Congrats! Let me know how you like it!
5:55 I just picked up a MSI 6700 XT 12GB (Newegg) for my kids computer. I have a 3080 FTW and it's great, and I love Nvidia cards, but with a $349 price tag for the 6700 XT, and being comparable (maybe a few % under) to the 3070, I had to go that route. Thanks for the vid!
Very nice, thats a solid option, especially for the price!
Great video. When I heard about you hurting your eye installing your 4090, I just couldn't help but think about Ralphie in A Christmas Story shooting his eye out. 🙂
🤣 Lmao, sorta kinda not that, but also kinda close...
Use to own a 3070. Great card for 1440p. BUT, i did see it struggle for certain games to maintain that 120fps, even at reasonable graphic settings. I game at 1440p 165hz. Now, i have the 3080, almost everything to its max, i can reach that 165hz at 1440p.
I upgraded to a 3070ti months back honestly thinking of upgrading to a 3080ti just to be safe with the 12GB
@@ogChiChi "If the price is right". Then go for the 3080ti. For better future proofing 80ti is pretty much perfect for 1440p gaming.
@@fpshooterful 3080 FE 1,2k now but there’s a 3090 for 1,2k as well on StockX lol all new as well
@@ogChiChi Me too LOL I upgraded from 3070ti to 3080ti to play 4K in some games it's so good
I've been sitting at 1080p with my 3070ti and cant help but feel like it's being wasted at such a resolution, so I've been looking to upgrade to 1440p. Had vram ever been a limiting factor at 1440p? I play on high/mixture of settings
Hey there, so if the game is optimized well the VRAM should not be an issue but that also doesnt mean it wont. Some games will push it to the limit at max settings. Its likely only super demanding AAA titles will get close but who knows what games yet to launch may do. I would hope it should be an issue a few years but you never know
i bought a 4k 60 hertz 40 inch second hand monitor for 200 euro's l._.l its awesome with my rtx 3070 playing 4k games at 60 fps
I play on 1440p had my 3070 for more than a year now… never had issues with Vram for 2K is perfect! If you can upgrade to 1440p do it! The bump in resolution is great!
Just bought a Aorus Master 3070 for $400 used, I’m happy with it, 1440p 120+fps max settings no DLSS on most games I play
No one needs more than 120fps unless they’re a pro imo, and at 1440p getting that fps is great
I got extremely lucky, and picked up 3070 for 300 USD (used, but in good condition). Wasn't a huge jump (2060 super to 3070), but I use raytracing a lot, and the jump in performance is more noticable then.
First off, hell of a deal! and I would deff agree thats a huge boost in performance.
@@BlueprintPC That deal was the main reason I went for it. I was planning on a 3080 or 3080 ti--I wanted the extra vram, given that I have my concerns for 8gb at 1440p long term, but...
Sometimes you just can't pass up a deal, you know?
@@alyessamaddox7022 agreed! I tend to regret deals I pass up. I keep thinking the deal will come back and... it never does
Bought a used 3070 AORUS Master for $300 today, thanks for your input!
Congrats on the purchase!
I’ve got an 11900k 3070 setup bought all of it new and so far I haven’t felt like I couldn’t play anything at a fps I’m happy with I play 1080p tho always have idk it’s just preference
pretty solid rig you have there
just got one a week ago, its awesome, some games didnt even start the fan
Thats always a nice little extra win!
As a 3070 owner I appreciate the video but please don't give recommendations to people to buy this at $500-550. At this price range you can pick up a 6800 XT and a 6900 XT can be found around $600.
Hey there, I completely agree. I only stating those numbers if the person is intent on the 3070 itself. I was not stating on comparison but I honestly should have made that clearer.
Its better to have a high end test bench so we dont have the cpu, ram, etc being a factor. We want to see how the GPU performs, not your other components.
would you get more performance from a different 3070 card? as i noticed you have the LHR version of the card. so would the non-LHR version give more performance, as it's not down tuned to discourage miners.
Hey there, so the LHR versions should perform the same in gaming vs non LHR as this was BIOS and driver controlled. LHR only limits performance under mining work loads
How long can this graphics card with 8 GB of VRAM last in 1080p games with Ultra graphics at 60+ FPS, also considering Ray Tracing and DLSS?
I ask the question because I am thinking of buying an RTX 3070 in 2023 and I would like it to last me about 3 years, but the 8GB of VRAM has made me doubt and think about opting for an RX 6700 XT or, on the NVIDIA side, a RTX 2080 TI, which have more VRAM, perform very similarly and I can get them for almost the same price. Another option would be to pay more for an RX 6800 with 16GB of VRAM to be completely free and safe, but I don't know if it's worth it.
Hey there, so great question. I would day go with the 6800, it may even get more than 3 years. I will say, the 3070 will prolly top out between 2-3 years.
@@BlueprintPC Oh thanks to reply!
Yeah i think i will go with the 6800, with the last HUB video the 8gb of VRAM was a limiting for the 3070/ti in hogwarts legacy.
great stuff, i only wish you showed RTSS or FPS Monitor stats on benchmarks
I do multiple runs to get the averages, so the extra details vary slightly each run. But I may work on added some extra
Been happy with my 3070 but I also don't play many games, the few I do play play fine at 1440. My main concern is video rendering and for that I have to admit I'm eying the 4070TI, that thing rips for davinci resolve (for what I do).
I'm actually in the process of learning DR so I can transition over to it full time. What are the rest of your system specs?
@@BlueprintPC 13700k, 64GB memory on a Gigabyte Aero G motherboard.
Probably gonna buy a pc with it soon for 1440p as the most gpu demanding games for me are only "forza" warzone and microsft flight simulator
I have 1060 6gb do u think a 3070 will be a good upgrade for me?
Hell yes! 1060 was such a champ, but it is showing its age at this point. For the price range, I would also consider the 6800(non xt)
Would you compare the 3070 with the 6800? Both trade blows at each other in my opinion. As a 3070 user at 1080p, I enjoyed it a lot.
Hey there, for current pricing, those two are definitely close in comparison. I think outside of ray tracing the 6800 deff has the advantage, but minor as it is
The release day I bought the RTX3070 MSI Gaming X (currency converted) for $535, I sold it on auction a month later & bids went to $935 (ended up buying a 6900XT [for 1440p games]), and I just bought a (ex-mining) used 3070 Gaming X for $240 (for my kids 1080p 165Hz Fortnite rig [moving up from a 2070 I can use in either my bedroom rig or another Tv room 4k 60hz Tv rig]). Might even be the same (Gaming X 3070) card. And for our main room 4k 120Hz gaming Tv we got a used RTX3080 Gaming X that was also an ex-miner; now with copper mod (works great here). We so fat. Joking aside, all that means is we ended up with a used Gaming x 3070 for free. Jesus is more than pixels.
I have the Aorus Master, been a great card. The enthusiast in me wants to upgrade for upgrades sake, but there is absolutely no point. It's perfectly viable and a great card. I love mine. Temps are awesome and gives me a great experience no matter what I decide to play. The only reason it would make sense to upgrade is if you are a VR enthusiast.
Honestly even vr unless it's something super specific you should be fine
Until the next generation of consoles maybe not anymore at this point there is nothing that can't play 1440p
I am wondering was this with a 27inch or a 32 or 34uw cause it does make a difference. I have had my 3070 since year it came out but thinking time for an upgrade of GPU and Monitor. Then my vr will thank me as well
Just bought a RTX 3070 FE. Cant wait to put in my new built system und play Valorant at 600 FPS
Cool video but omg that shirt is hilarious bro I need one. Also I just got this card for 350 is way too big I have to get a bigger case I kinda wish I went for the ftw3. I could have bought either one for the same price.
Hey their, I had the ftw3 it was good but tbh the strix cools a bit better. Thanks for the comment
I have a R5 3600 right now, what would you say a good option is for current 1080p144, but keeping 1440p144 in sight for future hardware update? I was thinking i5 12400f would do pretty good…
Hey there, 12400f is a good option! I would try to snag a 12600k if possible, they are coming down in price finally!! Eitherway you would be solid!
I'm a 3070 owner....I regret it because the time is quickly approaching when 8gb of vram won't be nearly enough
I think there's at least a few years left, depending on the resolution you game at
would one of these 3070ti's be a good buy at $700? or is that too much for a new one because I'm interested in one of these
Depends on the model for a Ti. Even tho you might be able to find a 3080 for just a little more money and a lot performance
At first rtx 3070 cost 1000$. I immediately dropped my idea build new gaming setup. A month ago I build brand new ddr5 processor with used rtx 3070 card only in 1000$.. Avg temp 67°c amazing performance. LOVING IT! If only 3070 was more than 8gb vram, it would be best gpu ever!
Congrats on the build
I ended up buying a 3070 Aorus master rev1 from a miner for $250. upgraded from 6600 non-xt. I only wish it had like 12gb of vram to better future proof it.
Agreed, thats the main downside to a 3070... vram. Well and price if you pay retail for a new card.
I've bought a used 3070 like 3 months ago I'am pretty sure it was a mining card since it was during the crypto crash. But so far so good card is never going above 70 in temperature and the fans are also fine. He or she probably took good care of it.
Card is a dream with dlss set to balanced and a custom high preset I get 50-60fps in cyberpunk at 4k.
Nice!
I wanted a 3080 2 years ago when I got my 3070 (Which upgraded my 1070) when I had to fight to get ANY card. I managed to get a TUF 3070 non LHR from BestBuy at like $50 over MRSP Christmas of 2020. I have a 144hz 1440p Samsung G5 and the 3070 isn't quite up to snuff. I get 60FPS plus but I cant get high refresh rates (When set to Max graphics) that my monitor could take advantage of in most games. I'm waiting on the 7900XTX to see its performance and it may be my next card if it hits the price/performance (4080 is a great card but Nvidia is off their rocker if they think I'm gonna spend that much on it lol) and maybe in awhile (could be a year or more) I may look at a 4090 for a true high refresh rate 1440p experience.
The 4080 is a tough sell at the asking price, the 4090 is still expensive but at least is a great performer
What games are you talking about? I was running an Asus Strix OC (LHR) 3060 Ti with a 4K 120HZ LG OLED and the card did really well in all games, except Halo Infinite, Cyberpunk 2077 and Dirt 5. I moved it over the my 1440p/144Hz G-Sync monitor, after putting a 3090 in the 4K setup. It performs exceptionally well at 1440p.
@@Gamevet I can name a few sure. Cyberpunk is one of them as well as Dysterra, Icarus, Astro Colony, Halo Infinite, New World, Assasins Creed Valhalla. If you read my above statement i didn't say this card did not run these games fine and smoothly, i simply said it cant output 144 FPS at High/Ultra (whatever gimmicky name a game company makes up to describe max) to match my monitor in many games at 1440p. Can it game at 1440p, yes absolutely. Can it deliver a high refresh rate gaming experience at 1440p, only on select title's or by reducing visual fidelity.
@@TranceEmotion Single player games dont need that much fps. But i use same monitor and 6800XT gets 144fps on max setings easy. Cyberpunk even higher cards have problems to gget high fps xD
@@reymo181There is a difference between need and want lol. I assume your talking about fps games wanting that high refresh rate to see someone quicker or get the shot off faster ect. Single player games gain just as much benefit it's just they get it in the fluidity of the motion. I was looking at getting a 6800 but could never find one in stock when I got my 3070. Again, the 3070 is a fine card, and it does get over 60 FPS in most games. I'm just saying for me and my setup, where I want to get that true high refresh rate 1440p gaming its simply not up to snuff. As I said before I wanted to get a note powerful card but it, as everyone knows, was insane to get a card. I spent weeks on trackers to get my 3070 at near MRSP and not from a scalper. This time since i have a card that is fine (unlike my old 1070 at the time of upgrading) I won't settle. I'll wait and get what I want.
Hello, which is better rog or tuf version? ps. your channel deserves hundreds of thousands of subscribers!
Thank you! Technically the ROG is better but honestly the tough versions are so good and the coolers are great so either would be good. The reason to get the rog is mostly visuals and a slightly better cooler.
Just be a little careful with the ROG version. Those things are big
Grabbed a 3070 for $300 brand new sealed in the box from a Facebook Auction. Best deal I've got in years.
Nice, which one did you get?
@BlueprintPC MSI Ventus 2x 3070. Stable @ 1980mhz .9v. Doesn't break 61c while playing MW2. I think I got a great deal.
I would agree!
got a 3070ti for €200 totally worth it at that price
Upgraded my rig from a 1660ti, and an i7, to a 3070 and a ryzen 5800x, playing at 1440p works pretty well. Only thing that kind of lacks is the 8gb of vram, wish they made them with more
Agreed! Congrats on the upgrade tho!
I always game 1440p ultra wide with this card. With RTX and DLSS
Oh no!!! you went ultrawide!?!?!? A normal monitor will never be the same... you are now trapped lol Sorry ever since I went ultra wide, I havent been able to turn back. Now I have the AOC 49in
the moment you turn on dlss you ain't rendering at 1440p anymore
..Asus Tuf 3070ti...5900x...1440p?..no problem...over 130fps without breaking a sweat..a highly underrated card..AMD may be faster..but build quality is rarely mentioned..Nvidia is expensive but quality is priceless
This is true, Nvidia cards are not often an issue with quality or reliability. I still have an old 780 TI hanging around
@@BlueprintPC ...i run a Asus Strix 1070 in my second p.c...still going strong...my AMD 570 was a good card but suffered from poor thermals which lead to premature degradation of its plastic parts..but i got what i paid for..Amd is a great product for the price..and better performance in most cases..they don't cheap out on how much Vram you get ..like Nvidia does..great video..thanks
Thank you, I just passed a 1070 on to a new gamer so hopefully it gets them a few good years as well
i just got mine for $290 yesterday, its a leadtek 3070, dont care how it looks as long as it performs well in my games, which is mostly apex legends and spiderman from time to time.
I actually just picked one of those up myself. I had to repaste it to keep the temps in check
@@BlueprintPC same, when i opened it it was basically bone dry and crumbling. repasted it and basically performs the way it should
I wish mine crumbled lol it hardened into a new glue like super compound.
picked mine up used for 380 on ebay and it works great
Nice deal!
@@BlueprintPC thanks, I think it was fair. Crazy how expensive pc builds are now a days. Good video btw
@@seancastle1937 thank you!
Does it make sence to buy 3070ti for 1440 144hz? In tests most new games don't go over 100 fps, so will it be noticeable during gameplay? Do I need a monitor with G-sync to not feel the performance lacking so much?
Hey there, if you're gonna spend the extra I would go for a 3080. Thats where you will notice the extra money going to work. The 3070ti is good at 1440p but not much better than standard 3070. Also gsync or freesync would help with that yes
@@BlueprintPC thanks for the swift answer!
Sadly I certainly don't have the budget for 3080. There in Russia 3070 Ti currently costs about 900$ and is constantly running low in stores and 3080 is over 1100$ while even in Moscow salaries outside of IT or finance are rarely over 800$/month after tax. So yeah, guess there is no need to go over the top with pc building and it would be far more benificial for me to aim for the solid 1080p build with 6700 xt or 3060ti.
Thx again for the reply, it's nice to be able to get advice from someone who has more experience.
Agreed, 1080p max settings is a great way to go!
Love this breakdown, and definitely gave me some confidence in this card for the next few years. That being said, I'm thinking I'll need to upgrade my Ryzen 5 3600 to make the most out of it at 1440p 144hz. Any recommendations?
So you don't need to upgrade per se. But If you can 5800x3d would be a great option or if you wanna save a few bucks the 5600 is good too. My wife was rocking her 3070 with a 1600AF for a while and still performed well
@@BlueprintPC fair enough. I can make the jump to the 5600 fairly easy, but I don't think my budget B450 and cooler could handle a 5800x3d (although that would be amazing). It's starting to feel like I either take the small generational leap or make a massive one for a higher price and many new components
@@BlackJack4831 Hey there, dont stress it too hard. Get the GPU to start, when you feel you need more performance then make the CPU jump. In all Honestly I think the best approach would be to hold off on the CPU upgrade till AMD 8000 series comes out then hopefully prices should be a little lower and all the bugs should be worked out. That way it gives you more time to save up as well
4090 plays everything at max settings high fps?
i hope you be good Juan! Abrazo!
I hope all is well with you!
Is rtx 3070 good for streaming? I have a ryzen 7 5700g and I was planning on buying this gpu, but idk if it would be a problem the fact it has 8GB of vram.
Hey there, so yes, it's good for streaming. However some games will want more ram if you're running 1440p or higher resolution.
@@BlueprintPC thank you for responding. I’ll keep it in mind
No prob, I try to reply as much as possible. Thank you for your comment
6700 XT and 6800XT 👍
5600g cpu is limited to pcie 3.0 and new gpus are pcie 4.0 so there could be minor performance loss. so to remove such variable factors just use 5600x
Hey there, you are correct. There is a small 2-3% loss, this was part of my intent as a lot of gamers still use older hardware. I will be updating my bench soon since the shortages have corrected a bit. I will still keep it aimed at the "average gamer" with specs but will be updated to gen 4.
@@BlueprintPC makes sense, this guy is just nitpicking at this point.
@@BlueprintPChi there how about a 5700g? Would that be ok?
@@jamiebaxter4221 I believe it's also pcie gen 3.0. So I would aim for 5700x,5600x or 5600 non x
@@BlueprintPC thanks pal
Planning to get RTX 3070 soon. I found it used for 350 €
Very nice!
Running 4k 60fps on my laptops 3070. Surprised to say the least. Mw2 specifically with DLSS.
Nice!
Dude I think messed up some results, watchdogs legion had lower fps on 1080p(previous video).
Hey there depending on the video, I did update my test bench and possibly also drivers etc. Which video are you referring too? I would like to look into this?
I recently bought a 6700xt for $500 cad. Dont have it in person yet, but it seems to have similar performance to the 3070
Yep, thats it's closest competition.
Same bought an Asus Dual OC RX 6750 XT from Canada Computers for $500CAD. That's about $360USD, well below the $529USD MSRP. I upgraded from a GTX 1080 TI, in older less optimized games there isnt a huge difference but in newer games like Cyberpunk 2077 with SAM and FSR it is double the FPS of the 1080 ti.
oh damn bro I got a 3070 in FB market place $390 CND It's a Asus turbo (OEM Blower style) but for that price it was a killer deal. I'm hoping to use a modded kraken G12 AIO mount on it to water cooler it lol. Was that the Red Devil card you bought?
would this card work ok at 1440p with the i7 9700k or will I need to upgrade my cpu?
It will work well and when you get around to upgrading you'll unlock a few extra horsepower.
I have a 3070 in a second system that I'm happy with. I got lucky with this one since it has the higher quality Samsung Memory.
Nice!
i have a 3070 and 12700ki have had mny 1080p 240hz alienware monitor for almost 3 years and i wanted to upgrade to 1440 is that fine?
That's a good combo yes
Couldn’t finish the video because I had a creamy jalapeño and chips craving!!
Lol. clearly that was my fault😁
Just picked up a used 3070 for $430. Could of gotten one for $400 but was looking for a specific model to match my build. I have a 4k monitor and the 3070 always pulls ahead of the 6700xt at 4k so that's what made up my mind.
very nice, what model did you chase down?
I can get a used 3070 for $210 here in Argentina. I'm just not convinced by the 8gb of Vram... $320 for a 6800 looks like a better deal?
@@BlueprintPC The Asus KO, In my opinion a good lookin card and color matches my build.
@@Fucklesticks I think they trade blows throughout many games even though the RX6800 has double the GDDR6. Even in 4k all the extra ram doesn't seem to make much difference.
@@10WA I just picked up a used 6800xt TUF gaming for 390
Just found your channel, love the pacing of the video and really like that brick looking wall behind you. Looks dope! Thanks for creating this content, I’m getting my B Stock EVGA RTX 3070 FTW3 Ultra soon. 🎉
First off thank you! The FTW# 3070 is a sweet card. My wife got upgraded to one of those a while back. oh and you are correct... the wall is brick "looking" lol
You can 1440 game with a 1060. So... it's weird to me to ask if a 3070 can do it well.
Should I buy a 3070 for 320 bucks?
It's a mining card and I am not sure how to test it. It's from msi
Hey there, so ultimately it's your decision. Now if it's from a private seller and there is no recourse if it's bad, I would pay a bit less. On ebay $350 or less is fair, because you at least have a little protection. You could always ask the seller to send you picks of it running in a system and a screen shot from a benchmark showing its performance.
Got a 3070 for $350 going to love it
An ryzen 5800x3d would be a good pair for rtx 3070 for 2k gaming? If not what cpu should i buy to pair with rtx 3070. Thanks!
That would be a really good pairing. 5800x3d is hard to beat!
@@BlueprintPC thank you!
@@TheStefBy no problem
I got a pny at msrp. Im happy
i got mine today for 535 Dollars and i cant wait to upgrade
congrats on the upgrade
i upgraded from 3070 strix to rtx 4080 gamerock for $ 1398.- swiss franks. i can return it till 13.Feb. 2023 but lose 10% because i opened the package. dont know yet if its worth. i get double fps in 1440p, but the money i spend man....
Hey man, so if you could get an even return I would say trade down to a 4070ti. However with that 10% loss I would just consider keeping it for the long haul. Unfortunately it's your call in the end if you want the money back instead.
@@BlueprintPC i keep it now, i was able to sell my 3070 srrix in white for 450.- but two years ago i paid scalper price of 1300.- i know im dumb
Hey, don't stress it. It was a unique time for everyone. I over paid for some cards as well.
@@BlueprintPC image China invade taiwan, then its over with pc parts!
Lets not jinx anything... plz eeekk
And why test bench with an integrated cpu?
Hey there, I chose the 5600g because I felt it was a good middle ground cpu and was also the most available during the shortages so will also be common for that reason. The igpu is just a nice to have for diagnosis if needed
and its not running dlss.... keep that in mind as well
I can’t find any new 3070 model I like under $600 😤. Bought used 3070 fe today for $300+sh+tax = $350
Thats solid for an fe!
Do you think this is a good deal at 1100 CAD?
Intel 10900 10 Core 20 thread cpu (clocks up to 5Ghz)
16Gb DDR4 3200 Corsair vengeance low latency memory
1Tb Western digital NVME SSD
2Tb Toshiba 7200 Sata Hard drive for extra storage
Asus 3070 8Gb Gpu
700 Watt Power supply
Tower Cpu cooler
Corsair rgb fans
Corsair carbide case with Glass side panel
Lots of usb3 ports with gigabit intel ethernet
windows 11 activated
Honestly yeah, that's a pretty fair price. It would tough to buy those new for that price
@@BlueprintPC thank you - much appreciated. Will definitely be back for more content!
Well thank you, glad To help
I might be late but I'm going to ask for help 'cause I am kinda lost. I'm searching for a new GPU to play games in an immersive way (max graphics, 1440p). At the beginning I was looking for a 3070 but I've seen many ppl saying that 8gb of VRAM aren't enough anymore and that RX6700xt 6750Xt and 6800xt are a better investment. Is it tho?
Hey there, I would go with the 6800, the 3070 is still great but the 8gb of vram will be a limiting factor in the future.
@@BlueprintPC Thank you very much!
@@BlueprintPC oh I wanted to ask too. I have a 650w psu (ryzen 5 5600), the 6800 may fit ? I saw that yes but I prefer to ask someone whos knows for sure. Thank you
@@Zackxk Hey there, so AMD recommends a 650w or better and I would say that is fair. I think with the 5600 you should be fine, as long as it's a good brand psu. Otherwise I would consider a 750w just for some buffer room
@@BlueprintPC thank you very much again! You helped a lot bro
Unfortunately the 3070 is still at scalper/miner prices all over the world. No relief yet. We will see if nvidia will release a 4070 at close to $500.
I hope so, but thinking likely $650ish
I just want a few options to upgrade from an RTX 3050 to play in 1440 with Avg 100 fps.
Hey there, so to avg over 100fps I would look at the 6700xt or 3070. Depending on the games you could manage with a 3060ti or 6600xt as well
The card sucks on 1440, you’ll need to run it on 1080 to get a stable 120 fps if that’s what your looking for.
what games are you having the issues with? I would like to look at those for testing, thanks for the comment!
I want to upgrade my 970 but these cards prices are just insane...
Yeah are pricey for sure. From a 970, a 3060ti would still be a big boost. AMD would have a few more cost effective opts tho
Love my Gigabyte Rtx 3070 Gaming Oc with a Ryzen 7 5800X3D 😁 upgraded from a Rx570
Very nice! Thats a hellova step up!
