Cooling is decent performance and quiet enough when the fans kick in (fan stop when idle like most cards), no coil whine either on my one. Power limit doesn't affect me as using at factory settings and not OCing but very little overhead vs a lot of other 3070's. Only thing I dislike is the RGB is on out the box and can't be controlled without MSI's hideous Dragon software. Aside from the bloatware one suite do all approach the software itself causes an awful lot of problems on many machines mine included with both stability and none gfx card settings it really shouldn't be trying to force change when I don't even have an msi otherboard/other hardware! Common issue looking it up and there is no official RGB control only app nor is the 3rd party one available for ... MoreCooling is decent performance and quiet enough when the fans kick in (fan stop when idle like most cards), no coil whine either on my one.

For now I put dragon in, changed the lights from bright rainbow cycling to dim matching my build solid colour, uninstalled dragon and it stuck so not too bad but I'd rather have better way of doing that or no RGB at all failing that personally.At MSRP value for money would be higher but as it stands all cards are several hundred pound over the odds and only worth it if need a GPU like I did for new rig and can't get work done without it o can't afford to wait. At official msrp they still come in significantly more than previous gen but are worth it still imho.

This is a really good card. It feels well built, and premium. The card is quite heavy, though. So much so it comes with a support bracket, which I feel like it needs. Make sure you have an extra 3 bracket slots for it to all fit (so a total of 5). As for how it runs, I get fantastic frame rates, even at 4k. Plus new titles run like butter (60+FPS), even with ray tracing. Thankfully the card doesn't get that noisy, either, with fans turning off when not at load. The biggest downside was the price, where I could (if stock wasn't an issue) have gotten a 3080 for the same amount. I would have also preferred a different brand, as MSI is a company I'd rather not support. That is not a slight against CCL (the seller/retailer), though.

Purchased after shipping my PC led to a multi-fan and internal memory failure on a GigaByte gaming OC 3070. In comparison the MSI has much better cooling, runs a LOTTTTT quieter and has surprisingly better performance than the Gigabyte 30 in 1080 and 2K, (I must have lost the lottery with the Gigabyte) not a bad word to say so far about the MSI itself.As for AWD-IT, Shipping was very fast, the packaging surrounding the factory MSI box was more than safe and satisfactory. Very easy purchase and will definitely use them again for any needs/upgrades.It's an injustice to 3 star the value, I understand that it certainly isn't any retailers fault but GPU'S are worth more than diamonds these days due too scalpers.

My card came DOA. After a frustrating series of troubleshooting, it turns out the card was bad. Not New Eggs fault, so I will be updating this review at the conclusion of the RMA process. UPDATE: It took exactly 2 weeks from the time that I dropped by bad GPU off at UPS to when I had my new (and now working) 3070 in hand. The RMA process was seamless and in comparison to some other horror stories that I've heard around the internet, I couldn't have had a better experience. This is a MAJOR reason why to use New Egg (or another highly reputable retailer) when buying one of these top end card. On top of hitting the GPU lottery by being able to purchase one, you can also rest assured that if you are unlucky and it comes DOA, you won't be out hundreds of dollars or luck. ... MoreMy card came DOA.

For anyone that's on the fence between the 3070 and the 3080, you will maximize the bang for your buck with this GPU. The factory clock improves performance significantly in comparison to the FE 3070. It's no 3080, but if you're looking for a great performance/$ look no further. To give an idea of performance, with a 5600X and this GPU, I can get 80-90fps very consistently on Ultra, DLSS, Ray tracing on Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p. Unless you're doing CAD or 4k maxed out, this card is plenty and then some.
Like many enthusiasts who have been trying to get a gpu this launch season it's not really a matter of which AIB you want to go with out of preference of brand, rather, which card is available for enough seconds to smash your apple pay button as many times as possible before some bot snatches it out from your grasp. Was it actually in my cart? Does this store even have the stock they're selling? Who knows? Sometimes you get lucky and beat the webscrapers and autopurchase bots used by scalpers. MSI is a fine AIB partner. While maybe not the best customer service in the gpu market, and sometimes a pain in the buttock if you're unlucky enough to get a bad card, they're certainly not the worst. In fact, this is the open and close of the AIB partner debate, especially ... MoreLike many enthusiasts who have been trying to get a gpu this launch season it's not really a matter of which AIB you want to go with out of preference of brand, rather, which card is available for enough seconds to smash your apple pay button as many times as possible before some bot snatches it out from your grasp.

In fact, this is the open and close of the AIB partner debate, especially this time around. the 30 series cards can overclock, but not by very much. You're unlikely to see any particular AIB card that is better or worse than another by more than a few %. So when it comes to the choice of which "AIB card do I buy?" The answer is anything you can possible get your hands on. This, of course, is no fault of MSI, EVGA, Zotac, ASUS, or any other card AIB. It's an nvidia issue.
Upgraded from a 1060 and it is obviously night and day performance wise. Happy with the overall specs and performance of the card. Upon installation there seemed to be incompatibilities with my motherboard as there were new beeps on startup. There are a couple forums with 3080 and 3070 users having this same issue. Very long story short, disabling CSM in BIOS solved the problem. Also, the extreme performance and gaming modes in Dragon Center cause my card to run at 20 FPS in CSGO, sooo there’s something wrong with the software there I believe. Once the mode is changed off of gaming and to balanced performance the card runs wonderfully. It’s a new card and there will be some bugs to iron out. Also, this card is very large, in fact the specs were 1mm wider than my ... MoreUpgraded from a 1060 and it is obviously night and day performance wise.

Also, this card is very large, in fact the specs were 1mm wider than my case was supposed to fit and my case is a mammoth (it fit no problem though), be sure your case is large enough to support this card. Overall, happy with this card.
So scored one of these early in a combo deal. Overall very satisfied with my purchase and the upgrade this provided from a GTX 1070 FTW edition. Stable build, stable drivers from my experience, and overall a GREAT 1440p beast. It's a compromise from jumping to the RTX 3080 and I'd be hard pressed to NOT take that jump but this should definitely drive my gaming for the next 3-5 years (that's a lie, I'll figure out a way to upgrade because I'm stupid) Biggest drawback is it's size. The Gaming X Trio is one of the BIGGEST cards I've ever got my hands on. It's THICC and, if you too have an NR200, might take a little angling to get it to slide in. Any small form factor PC owners double check your clearances before you decide on this because it might wind up being just ... MoreSo scored one of these early in a combo deal.

Any small form factor PC owners double check your clearances before you decide on this because it might wind up being just too big. Also, look for a support of some sort if you aren't able to utilize the one that comes in the case as your GPU just might sag a little bit from how heavy it is. Airflow seems solid with the fans and the curves. I have nothing to complain about from that aspect. Fans haven't gotten obnoxiously loud that I can tell at idle or gaming wise. It sit's 3-4 ft away from me and while the air exhausted out of the case is hot I don't see it reflected in actual GPU temps. It seem to settle around 70-75F while running most games at 1440p to a 27" screen. Daughter scores it SO AMAZING as it runs Mickey's Castle of Illusion with so much wow and it's so pretty with the lights (her words not mine)
Overall this video card has me impressed. I have been saving for one since the launch of the 5700 xt, but never seemed to have enough money due to all the shortages and other garbage going on lately. I have been chugging along with a GTX 1060 6GB for what seems like ever, so this card was a tremendous upgrade. Thank you Newegg for making it possible for a lowly person such as myself to get an awesome video card with your shuffle service! This card will not do CP2077 at 4k ultra with ray tracing (like average less than 30fps) but with ray tracing disabled and DLSS on it does 4k Ultra at more than 60fps in my system, which is fine by me. Totally annihilates the 1060 it replaced! I was shooting for a 3060, but actually glad I got the 3070 because it PERFORMS! All in ... MoreOverall this video card has me impressed.

Using this card for about 30+ days now. This thing fought back when I tried installing it. If I had known, I would've bought a 3080 or a 3090 to be fully satisfied. It is a well functioning card though, and I got what I paid for. I'm on an older build of 7+ years: MSI Z170 Gaming M7 i7-6700k Phanteks Enthoo Pro 1080p 144HZ + 900p 75HZ monitor First I learned I couldn't use my GTX 1070FE on the PCIE slot below the one I installed this card on, because the bracket had a section that was angled too obtusely. I had already installed both cards, and this heccin' chonker made it tough to release the butterfly locks on the 1070 below it, even with a screwdriver. Second, I needed a BIOS update to stop my rig from going into it every other startup. Looks like time finally ... MoreUsing this card for about 30+ days now.

Second, I needed a BIOS update to stop my rig from going into it every other startup. Looks like time finally caught up to it. Things did not go wrong during the update, but I can't activate XMP anymore without seeing the Overclock Failed screen. It's an entirely different product problem, but it sucks seeing my RAM nerfed. Got a new 1000 watt PSU for this card, and it is making the PSU have coil whine. Wouldn't blame the card though. Using two separate 8 pins instead of a single daisy-chain one made it less noisy and even eliminates it if not facing the rear. No DVI connectors. Had to get Displayports and HDMIs for my monitors instead. Even as my rig was built when DVI's were still a thing, this was only a tiny inconvenience. As for performance it seems like newer and resource demanding titles, like BF2042, are giving me 60-75FPS on all low settings, anti-aliasing on, and DLSS on. I kinda wished I had gotten a better card after all the trouble because of this. At least it was playable to an extent on 64 player conquest. BF1, 3, 4, the Tomb Raider Trilogy, VRChat, Tower Unite, Garry's Mod, all ran extraordinarily well (100 FPS+) on ultra and high/medium with screen-space reflections and raytracing if applicable. I may be CPU bottlenecked, so there might be more to this card. It's very good for older games and newer games they're optimized. After installing NVidia's Studio Drivers for Optix, I was able to render faster with bumped up samples and AI denoising. About 50+ samples more per minute with 16 render samples on an archviz scene in Blender. Even with CUDA rendering, it was still considerably fast. It's definitely an improvement from something like a GTX 1070 FE. 3x more CUDA cores is great. It's running well on my older rig. It does raytracing well. The installation was tougher than expected. For how much difficulty it was, I would've rather gotten a 3080/90. If you wanna get this at a lower than others non-MSRP price because you've gotta upgrade to anything modern, then it's the card for you.
extremely low temps while gaming. BL3 in 1080 ultra settings sees about 93 fps and temps hold 47-51 in an airflow case. High clock speeds, with the factory overclock the card sits around 1.95-1.98 GHz while playing. Quiet fans and a pretty decent factory fan curve. The msi dragon center is trash, use it to assign your RGB and delete. The MSI overlay that it applies kills framerates in a lot of games. Afterburner can not automatically overclock with the shipped bios and when using EVGA's software I have not had any stable configurations automatically. Waiting for the updated software and bios to overclock since the card is plenty fast as it comes out of the box.
