We review and benchmark a custom design GeForce RTX 3070, this round the EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 FTW3 in specific in an Ultra edition. We'll plant this card in our test system to see how well it performs. EVGA improved the design for the FTW3 series, it looks dignified in a dark aesthetic design.

@Hilbert Hagedoorn Can you get in touch with EVGA and ask why there fans don't spin down? They advertise under 55c they spin down so 0b noise. I'm sure some of us are in EVGA's preorder for this card. I was getting it for the large cooler expecting it to run quieter(not planning to OC). Planning on setting a custom fan profile using precision x for lower DBA's. This behavior makes that a bad idea.
EDIT: I wonder if the regular BIOS this is the behavior but OC BIOS it is not?

They do spin down. I explained in the article that at default BIOS configuration the fans spin down. However in OC BIOS mode they kept spinning in idle.

Thanks. I glossed right over it. After rereading the acoustic then the conclusion it makes since. Its a bit disjointed to keep track of both of those BIOS settings. Maybe for these dual bios cards the acoustic and power sections you could show both modes tested?
Thanks for the review. I was hoping you would review this card.

Good Move, using "Ultra" as part of name when RTX 30X0 series use Ti and Ultra to separate actual products with different HW specifications.
