What is your power limit set to? I found that stock voltage with max power gave me stable 2150 peak, 2050 after thermal soak. Dropping voltage would nerf the boost as heat built up, I suspect that as the internal resistance went up with temperature, the card couldn't get enough current; remember the gates are current driven. You could easily see that as a regression in my Port Royal / TSpy scores, despite higher max boost initially, the overall scores were lower.

109% stock and under volted. With my FE I'd constantly be power limited at stock boost clocks and when pushing clocks as far as I could. Best I can get is just over 2.1ghz.

How much was it? Is it the OC version?

Yup the OC version.
£699 (£559 ex VAT).

Far more than I wanted to pay.
But they had stock and I was just so done with queue's and waiting any longer.

** My work took the ASUS 3060Ti TUF I ordered from here.

Work also purchased a £3500 pre-built PC just so a my colleague could nab the ASUS 3090 STRIX OC in it.
Then we just split the rest of system up into two other PC builds and sold them on.

Personally I think he is mad with the 3080Ti coming soon... but it's his cash. :D

Managed to nab a 3070 Gigabyte Gaming OC for delivery this week but massively overpaid @ £640 from a well known place. Going to think about keeping it (still not sure as I don't game as much as I used to but thinking about cyberpunk)

Turned up today (not from OCUK).
It will keep me going until the 3080Ti drops.
Time to fire up Cyberpunk.

I have cut and pasted the 3070 Tier list based on PCB and VRM quality below. The reviewer has tiered them differently based on different criteria, by all means give the guy a click, it was a lot of work for him to do. I always go on PCB+VRM quality on the basis that i don't use air cooling.

You'll have to remove me from the list unfortunately.
The misses has surprised me with a 1440p 32inch 165hz monitor for Xmas so managed to bag a 3080

Thank you for finding this, super useful.
 
Anyone running a 3440x1440 monitor with the 3070? I can't for the life of me figure out if this card is enough VRAM for running this resolution for modern titles. I have been discussing this a lot recently and it seems that for Cyberpunk it is using almost the full 8GB of the video memory of this card on this res. I did run into stuttering after a while but I think it's more due to the memory leaks than the VRAM limit of this card. I am running optimized digital foundry settings + RT on medium with DLSS performance.

Btw, for those using Gigabyte cards, there's this cool Aorus master app that lets you run a 30~min auto curve test for the GPU, you can then apply the same curve via afterburner and save the profile. It doesn't check for memory clock though but I found it went up ~1k without problems. I can't OC the VRAM size tho KEK
