Cheers, yeah I pressed the image button and it wasn't having any of it!

It's like james.miller said above. Go to your imgur.com URL then right-click your image and "Copy image address" this will give you the URL "https://i.imgur.com/aTkyBNq.jpg" which you can paste right into the 'Image' function when posting; it'll recognise it's a .jpg file type and present it as an image, rather than a URL. Or wrap it in img tags

Took possession of mine a few days ago but forgot to put name next to it and I won't be back home for a couple of days, but here's mine

My 3rd (an EVGA card) 3070 should be here tomorrow.
Hopefully better than the Palit (which is miles better than the FE)

What was wrong with the FE one compared to others? did the other 3070's break or something?

TheEvilMrFry · 30 Nov 2020 at 18:14

I WILL get this working haha!

Quick one, anyone running this GPU on 3440x1440? Unsure of which GPU to go for this or 3080.

Thanks

The 3070 FE runs quite hot.
I picked up the Palit as I wanted an AIB. Miles better cooling than the FE
I managed to snag an EVGA which to me have the best warranty and allow you to stick a waterblock on it without voiding the warranty

Don't have the 3070, but have used plenty of 2080Tis which this is comparable to and does well at 3440 x 1440. Of course a 3080 will allow more eye candy / higher FPS so if you can get one at a decent price would be a shout, but 3070 is no slouch at the res either.

Ahhh. Thought may have got as unlucky as me. two messed up 3090's!. Sounds good. Shame about the heat, for bigger brothers the FE is steller.

It isn't overly hot.
Using the same fan profile thr FE hits 70°C
The Palit I currently have doesn't go past 60°C

Got my inno3d x3 3070 yesterday and for me its too early to tell (running 3440x1400), but I have been enjoying playing Control with DLSS + RTX High running at ~75 fps. In my case I feel I am currently bottlenecked with my CPU on some games like Valhalla and Odyssey. 3070 is a fair contender for the resolution, but I think if you want to have Max settings with RTX and >60hz, then 3080 would be recommended over the 3070 (in my opinion).

delvey · 1 Dec 2020 at 13:02

number 1, sold on for RRP

Number 2, will rather be returned or sold on at RRP

And I might keep this one. Probably the only EVGA in the UK

Simon Belmont · 1 Dec 2020 at 18:27

Just received today. She's a beast!

Picked up the Palit ProGaming (non-oc) about a week ago (when the local store had 10% off pre-black Friday sale, which made it MSRP lol - sale my butt.)
It's been way better than expected, really happy with it.
Sits rock solid at bit over 2GHz straight oob, temperatures really good, Samsung memory - which all local Palits seem to have - well, sample size of 3 co-workers. Haven't had a chance to put it through its paces yet, but, this weekend hopefully... After a brief scan of this thread, I just shoved the power slider to 113%, put memory on 8000 and core +120, which is what every card should do, if I understand correctly.

Haven't seen it go past 68 degrees under load. Only negative is the plasticky backplate with no cut out for back of the GPU, but temps seem fine, so meh...
We will see this weekend how it performs when pushed.
On that note, anyone knows how to increase the power limit past 113%? Is under-volting a thing on 3070s, I seem to be only able to increase voltage?
TIA
- really chuffed to play with a current gen card, been on my 1080 for what seems like forever.

The Palit is great. The only reason I wanted an EVGA is because they allow removal of the cooler for watercooling.

Honestly, if there was a Palit and EVGA for the same price, I'd have gambled on the EVGA. I'm going to slap a water block on mine, if I can find a BIOS that lets me increase the power limit. Mine is severely power starved; the fans don't even get particularly noticeable, or the card over 70 degrees at the max OC settings available. I can get it to 117% after enabling full MSI mobo chicanery - but that's it.

PS. The Palit 3070 seems to use the same cooler as the 3080, so it's rather overbuilt for our cards - I'm genuinely wondering if we even can get more performance with a water loop, given our vBIOS limitations. https://appuals.com/palit-gaming-pro-geforce-rtx-3070-cooler-analysis/

kinger8938 · 3 Dec 2020 at 11:12

I think I'm now wanting a 3070 and havent a clue where to start? Obviously it's a waiting game but I see some are short, some long etc

Best get researching!
