As my first GPU, moving from a Chromebook, I was mind-blown by how much power this card has. Runs everything I currently own at max settings at 60fps on my monitor, and most VR titles at a (mostly) stable 144fps on Valve Index. Truly a great card. The only issue with this card is micro stutters in extremely taxing VR titles, but I'm sure future driver updates will fix that.

This card smells of artificial product segmentation...ie., it doesn't need to be nerfed with such a low power limit, yet MSI seems to have set the limits as low as they have to stay away from eating their own sales for the Gaming Trio (X and non-X lines). If that's not enough, for roughly the same price the Asus TUF 3070 has a stock board power of 240 watts and allows the user to overpower the card up to 270 W. Adding insult to injury, this card uses the exact same PCB and components as MSI's Gaming Trio 3070 (again, X and non-X lines. See techpowerup's teardown of the 3070 Gaming X Trio and compare with this card.) While the heatsink on the Gaming Trio appears to be different (different shroud and finstack), this card performs so excellently under a 220 W load ... MoreThis card smells of artificial product segmentation...ie., it doesn't need to be nerfed with such a low power limit, yet MSI seems to have set the limits as low as they have to stay away from eating their own sales for the Gaming Trio (X and non-X lines).

While the heatsink on the Gaming Trio appears to be different (different shroud and finstack), this card performs so excellently under a 220 W load there's no doubt that it could handle more power, especially given that its components (including VRM, of course) are identical to the Gaming Trio. In terms of performance, MSI's choice of 220 W for this card costs the user about 5 to 10% of what they'd get out of a card with 240 W to 270 W board power, which, ironically, is about the cost difference between this card and the FE's MSRP. Having said all that, none of this really seems to be MSI's fault. Gamer's Nexus has reported from an industry contact that board partner margins are at an all-time low thanks to how Nvidia is pricing thier silicon. Additionally, Nvidia's aggressive, often impossible or totally unrealistic pricing (re: 2080 Ti, RTX 3000 launch) has forced partners to make compromises (like this card, where the MSRP of MSI's 3070 Ventus 3X is 12% more than the FE) that just hurt the consumer. Obviously Asus has managed to deliver a 3070 package with an MSRP commensurate with its apparent performance gains, but while MSI has not, I can't believe it's because they don't want to be competitive with other products. The only likely reason is that Nvidia is making it impossible for their partners to work on such narrow margins, who kick then kick the bucket down to consumers. Altogether: if you cannot find any other 3070 to buy, this card will get an Nvidia GA-104 into your system. However, almost any other model or manufacturer is probably a better price-to-performance option, like the Asus TUF 3070 mentioned above. If you're feeling especially anti-consumer you might even consider Nvidia's own 3070 Founder's Edition, but know that you're solidifying a behemoth's position and controlling power over the industry.

After some benchmarking and breaking this video card in tonight with some Battlefield 5 and a long session of PUBG I can say that this video card performs very well! This video card is replacing a EVGA 2080 XC Ultra video card and so far in benchmarks and gaming I am noticing around a %20-30 performance boost. I am pairing this with a new Acer Predator XB323U 170hz monitor and a new Intel 10850k and so far this is a super smooth and nice setup. No complaints so far.........Good Job MSI, nice product!

This was a fantastic deal for this card and it perforns exactly as I expected. Also as expected the card does have cosmetic wear and tear but it hasn't effected anything so far. One issue I had was that the card was shipped pretty much completely loose in it's packaging, but it did at least come in an anti static bag. It shipped quickly and on time as well.
Love the card, works great, no issues. The only thing I had to do was update my BIOS. I'm running ASUS ROG B450-F mobo. When I first installed the card, I was experiencing constant monitor flickering and the nvidia drivers were not installing correctly. After a little research, I updated my BIOS and that fixed the issue.
I won the MSI ventus card in a shuffle and was only disappointed it wasnt a 3080 and that it looks a bit ugly. Once I received the card and pulled it out I realized its not bad looks wise. It could use some help, but its an msi base model, what else can you ask for? Price to performance is mediocre but with this gpcrisis every card is full MSRP or more so I snagged what I could. Overall, for a very regular gamer on 1440p this card was a really big upgrade. Even from an asus 2080. The cuda cores make the difference for frames/textures and most of my games run gorgeously. Ill run upwards of 200 frames on most anything so it was definitely worth the buy. Id say if you can get this card msrp and its your only option, you wont be disappointed performance wise. ... MoreI won the MSI ventus card in a shuffle and was only disappointed it wasnt a 3080 and that it looks a bit ugly.

Id say if you can get this card msrp and its your only option, you wont be disappointed performance wise. Aesthetically, itd be better off water cooled..
The card runs pretty quiet on its default fan profile, easily runs at 2ghz core clock, looks nice and black no rgb tomfoolery, my unit has no coil whine which is very nice. But for some odd reason now i cant set a custom fan curve with monitoring software, it was working but now refuses, very strange. Also at around 50% fan speed it causes a vibration/resonance through the case which is annoying. Finally sometimes it sounds like one of the fans is faulty, i hear a light ticking/scratching sound at around 50% fan speed, but it only occurs rarely. Overall im happy but there are a few small oddities im experiencing as i mentioned.
Good Points: Great value for money (IF BOUGHT AT MSRP)Performance might be on the lower end compared to other cards, but its closest to FE performance and priceVery quiet, easy installationImprovement Points: On the lower end benchmark wise, avoid this card if you play a lot of AAA gamesPotential power throttling issues
If you don't feel like spending extra on fancy lights, and you just want performance, this RTX 3070 is the way to go. The triple-fan cooler is more than enough, which keeps it nice and quiet. The fans almost never turn on when just navigating the desktop. I don't think there's much to say about RTX 3000 series supply that hasn't already been said, so I won't waste too much time here. It sucks that people who have the money to buy a product aren't able to. I got lucky, but I hope that Nvidia will take steps in the future to give their board partners sufficient time before launch.
This version of the 3070 seems to be more of the budget end of the series, but definitely still gets the job done. There arent any crazy designs and flashing lights to make it stand out. The cooling solution works well but may get too hot with overclocking temperatures. Running a 1080p monitor with this is light weight for it. Itll run most high end games with detailed graphics settings on 1440p with high FPS. Overall, its a great graphics card and Im fortunate to have one. Great upgrade from a 1070 Ti.
