Reviewers Guide for the RTX 3070 Founders Edition has been leaked

Nvidia will release the RTX 3070 available on October 29. Samples have been seeded and along with it, NVIDIA provides a reviewers guide, almost the complete 'Reviewer's Guide' for the RTX 3070 Founders Edition has been published by Videocardz.

Nvidia mainly emphasizes what performance the card should be able to provide so that reviewers know how the card being tested should perform. The green team claims that in 'various' DirectX 12 and Vulkan games, it is on average 60% faster than the RTX 2070 (non-Super) and as fast as or faster than the RTX 2080 Ti. That would apply to both games with and without ray tracing. Nvidia also says it now officially supports av1, which should generally provide 50% to 55% better performance compared to h.264. At the same time, the image quality of this open standard must also be better than both h.264, h.265 (hecv) and vp9.

Ah, so RTX 3080 is indeed about 30% faster than the RTX 3070 then - all has been revealed! That was from comparing Timespy Graphic Scores from guru3d 3080 Founders Edition review. Was hoping RTX 3080 would be faster than that 30% difference, which is why I chose the 3080, but to have it confirmed as 30% faster I'm ok with that. I got a pre-order in for a TUF 3080.

If that's the performance, then the 450ish € price that the cheapest ones here are at is a pretty fine deal. I'd still like to see cheaper of course, and the various solutions offered by board partners seem to explode in price to way above 500€.

Man, the 70 series should be 350€ max. To think i also bought a 1070 for 430€ on a sale makes me sad... Good thing i managed to sell it for a small profit.

Not better than RTX2080ti at everything, but, looks good.
So? You say that like it's a bad thing. The 2080 Ti is a good GPU, and this is basically as good for 40% the price.

Almost all are synthethic benchmarks except for a few specific games, so it is official the 2080 TI is still the KING and those Youtube benchmarks are horseshait, and with extra 3 gb of ram it makes sense to buy a second-hand one instead of 3070.
I bet the 2080TI eats 3070 in every other game, hence tons of benchmarks and only few games are shown.
I agree synthetic tests are meaningless, but you are being suuuuuper salty. A 2nd hand 2080 Ti is still at least $100 more expensive and probably more power-hungry.
The extra VRAM is nice but only if it's actually put to use.

Those who paid $1250 plus for a 2080ti are trying to convince themselves they were not robbed by Nvidia when this 400 to 500 card is outperforming the 2080ti

There are also rumors of a card in between 3070 and 3080 based on GA102.

7424 Cude Cores
10GB gddr6x
320bit bus

The rest of the specs are unknown.

Yeah this is the one im waiting for, the 3070 ti, im hoping its more power efficient too
