Long time lurker of your site, thanks for all the reviews you do 🙂 I know the price is what it is...but 3% improvement over a FE for €200~ more is pretty dire and shouldn't really result in a "Recommended" imo but rather a buy-if-nothing else or something. I do appreciate the card can O/C roughly 8% over stock FE, but stock FE can overclock to within 1-2% of this EVGA. Can I just ask, on the RDR2 benchmarks, how do you attain such high average FPS at 1440p (or others) on any 3070. My 3070FE is lucky to get 40FPS at 1440p if I set game per Nvidia GFE optimal. Using a R5 3600 but the 9900k can't make that much FPS difference surely. Are you just hitting in-game Ultra & 1440p and running with that? Thanks.

Only place to buy FE models in Europe/UK is on the NVidia site - and they are not selling them (think they stopped completely months ago, or just no stock), so pretty much have no choice but to pay way more for a partner card.

Either that or just setup some stock reminders and wait it out.

I know, it's a terrible time to be buying a GPU. I just mean, this EVGA is as hard to attain as an FE is, so it shouldn't really be a recommended when it's completely a manufacturer scalped GPU that's hardly any improvement over reference. I'm in the UK and I managed to get a 3070 FE on 6th Jan fwiw. I also saw EU drops over the last week multiple times for FE stock. I was actually trying to buy a 3080 since release day, FE or AIB, without any luck at all. Then by chance I managed to snag a 3070 during a stock drop alert (only 1 stockist in the UK). Like JamesSneed has said, stock alerts are the way forward. I can invite you to both the ones I've used, just PM me I think if it's allowed.

Damn that is ugly. ACX and EVGA coolers just keep getting worse and worse looking.

Nice card, but I will never buy EVGA again.

It could be that for some reason EVGAs zero rpm mode makes noises when the fans kick in again. My last 2 cards have had it and I have had to use Rivatuner to prevent the fan turning off. This ASUS dual doesnt make the noises, and the fans turn off and start silently. For more info on the issue there is a big thread on the "zero rpm noise" issue on evga foums.
This is why i`ve gone with Msi for a second time, the Evga 2070s ftw i had just annoyed the crap out of me with its constant grinding noise, stupid thing is the Evga 1070ti i had was great....then they go and mess with the fans, come to think of it...all the way back to the 680`s, 970, 980ti`s were all great performers and all had no fan issues just like my Msi rtx 3070 gaming Xtrio, should i have gone for a 3080......maybe...but almost twice the price for a hand full of fps past what i need, £530 was enough.

Considering Asus RTX3070 Dual 8G cost $1100, this likely going to cost at least $1500.

Interesting..I am still scratching my head as to why the GPU makers are sending out these cards for review long before they can ship them. By the time these GPUs actually ship, many will have forgotten this review entirely. To an extent, EVGA is trying to counter this by putting people on a list to receive one. Apparently, however, both AMD and nVidia have several new model announcements to make this quarter, so EVGA may or may not be shipping these cards to everyone now on the list. I assume this is why AMD AIB's are not also formulating lists at this time. What a mess... https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P5-3767-KR
They're sending review cards because they're selling the crap out of the cards being produced. It's not like zero cards are being sold. If that were the case, then why would nVidia be making such large gains in market share? https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam Demand for the RTX 3xxx cards is so far beyond any generation i can remember. Almost every pc gamer I know is trying to get one. Myself included.

by the time these card readly availble the 4xxx card will be outed or out..../QUOTE] A contact in Hamburg informed this morning that NVIDIA in a recent Germany communication noted that the RTX 3000 Series will for the entire 2021 first quarter to be even more difficult to obtain. And especially the availability of the GeForce RTX 3090, 3080, 3070 and 3060 Ti. The Chinese New Year which begins on February 12 is only partially to blame for its 15-day shutdown of the factories. The specific source of this communication came though "Alternate" (Shift IT) with major distribution centers in Germany, Belgium, Austria and the Netherlands. This most likely will keep at least for the time being the 'second hand used pricing ' and the purchases of new available GPU's at much higher price points. I would also suspect that this further delay of availabilities may impact itself on the MSRP pricing of the entire 3000 series once the market comes into full-swing. FYI: I just took delivery of a new LG refrigerator after having to wait for it's delivery 120-days. The big deal...a price increase over the 2020 model of 35%. This sounds like Z590 mobos which may have come on the same boat?
