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.

I might try for one (ha) if the FE is £450, more for something to play around with, a side dish as it were, until the main course becomes available.

@SoppingClam
lol, i guess i have the even better card then, as my LC 2080S for 800$ can beat stock ti's.
anyone recommending a 2080ti is completely ignoring price.
makes no sense why i would i pay almost double (vs 3070) for 0-10% better performance.
outside the fact that the vram difference is irrelevant for +80% of the gaming market,
and most of time will only matter for small amount of games running 4K (for fps).

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.

This. I never understand why some people chime in how happy they are to be paying a new price premium. The very first time I spent $400 for a top of the line card a (BFG 8800GTS) I vowed that was the most I’d ever spend on a GPU. Then last year I spent $420 on a 1070ti... a mid range, old series card. Sad days

Looking good, however i'd like to see a bios unlocked 2080ti vs bios unlocked 3070 for true picture.
Anyone considering one of these i can say that it'll do in most if not all games at 1440p, just gotta wait for CP2077 for real test, if that's your thing.

But sure 2080ti beater you can't knock.
*Damn that 8gb vram though. :mad:
