GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3070 Vision OC 8G Graphics Card, 3X WINDFORCE Fans, 8GB 256-Bit GDDR6, GV-N3070VISION OC-8GD Video Card

Product Information

The RTX 2080Ti has an upper hand here, particularly on the higher resolution. The RTX 3070 took a marginal lead at 1080P. Battlefield V [DX12] DLSS feature was only available on 4K resolution using the RTX 3070 and we saw 55% improvement with FPS boost sitting close to 60 FPS. Nvidia has definitely upped their game with the Raytracing and DLSS in particular. Metro Exodus DXR

The front end of the graphics card has a solid cover finished in white color. There is a dotted pattern in the center. There is no vented portion here for ventilation. The overall look and feel are too good to speak of and their design team has done a good job ensuring the symmetry of the layout. We are thankful to GIGABYTE for giving us the opportunity to review their GeForce RTX 3070 VISION OC graphics card. Graphene nano lubricant can extend the life of fan by 2.1 times, close to the life of double ball bearing, and is quieter. The performance hit was roughly 42% on 1080P, 41% on 1440P, and 42% on 4K resolution. Cyberpunk 2077: Depending on the model, Nvidia has employed a fast platform for VRAM using GDDR6X only on RTX 3080 and 3090 and GDDR6 on the RTX 3070. Another improvement is HDMI 2.1 with full 48 Gbps bandwidth. The architecture is based on 8nm on the SAMSUNG platform.

MSI Afterburner 4.63 was used to monitor and record the FPS for the games without in-built benchmarks. Synthetic Benchmarks: This graphics card is using 8-pin and 6-pin power connectors. There is a large gap between both connectors. The connectors are housed in a plastic frame which flimsy so take care of connecting/disconnecting the cables. GIGABYTE has opted for concealed design over the connectors. While this makes sense given the overall layout, they should have strengthened the housing. Before this I had to borrow my mates rx 570 as prices for gpus were sky high but finally was able to get a gpu and it's the one I wanted for nearly 2 years. I can now finally play all my favourite games on high settings and have a amazing frame rate that's buttery smooth. This is the best looking graphics card in my opinion especially in my all white build. I can now finally get to playing pc games properly after having a not so great time for nearly 2 years The maximum noise output recorded during the gaming session was 42 dBA which is too good to have. This performance is coming at default fan settings. RTX 3070 Compute Performance:

Broaden Your Horizons is the tagline of the VISION series. The salient features of the graphics card are highlighted on the top like RGB Fusion 2.0, Windforce Cooling using 3x fans. The graphics card is based on Nvidia’s Ampere architecture using Ray Tracing and DLSS. For Pascal users, the RTX 3070 Review is a nice upgrade option from their GTX 1080 and GTX 1080Ti. Similarly, we can spot the upgrade path of the RTX 2070/2070S/2080 users, particularly at 1440P gaming. In the end, this would come down on the personal preferences and budget of the individual concerned. The 4K gaming is also possible with the RTX 3070 though one would need to lower the graphics settings a bit. This is a heaven graphics card for 1440P gaming. We have a 34% hit on 1080P with Ray tracing. This hit was 37% on 1440P. But given the FPS were over 60 at any time on these two resolutions, the gameplay was super smooth with the goodness of the ray tracing. The performance hit was more evident at 4k resolution with 53%. Gigabyte's Vision series is a new sub-brand aimed towards content creators and professionals instead of the traditional gaming markets. The RTX 3070 Vision features a beautiful white and silver finish. There's almost nothing 'gamery' about this card -- which is a good thing.

The RTX 3070 Vision sports a triple-fan cooler design, similar to the Windforce coolers featured in the Eagle and Gaming lineups. The cooler has four copper heat pipes running down both lengths of the card, connected to an aluminum heatsink. The five heatpipes, plus an additional heatpipe to the side of the cooler, all meet up at the GPU die to cool it. The surrounding VRM and memory units are cooled by a metal baseplate.
