Had my despatch email for the 3070 3x ventus, will be sticking my 1080ti on the mm.

khemist · 10 Feb 2021 at 14:41

Probably going to sell mine when it arrives today, it will be on the MM later for what i paid + postage.

which one?

khemist · 10 Feb 2021 at 15:07

3x ventus.

Ree · 10 Feb 2021 at 15:09

have you got buyers remorse as the 1080ti was getting listed yesterday now its the 3070 lol.

khemist · 10 Feb 2021 at 15:12

I kinda only bought it because it was in stock since it's like winning the lotto, i only play BF1 on my ultrawide and the 1080ti runs it perfectly.

I've got other things that need to be paid that are more important, if someone is struggling to get one without scalping (from me at least) then check the mm later.

JohnG7 · 10 Feb 2021 at 15:12

He worked out he should have bought at least a 3080 going from a 1080Ti.

khemist · 10 Feb 2021 at 15:17

That would mean i need to add even more money to make up the change from the 1080ti and i'm not really wanting to spend it right now.

khemist · 10 Feb 2021 at 18:05

On the MM now.

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your RTX 3070

Moley · 19 Feb 2021 at 15:39

New owner here. My new PC arrived this morning and has a Gigabyte Eagle 3070 OC installed.

I can not see your pics.

ik9000 · 20 Feb 2021 at 12:40

to the aorus master owners:
1) can you confirm what came in your box? This one seems rather sparce compared to GPU I've bought in the past.
2) do you use a support bracket? If so any recommendations? I can't see one included like MSi apparently do for theirs
3) anyone had any joy in getting a proper user manual? Nothing in the box and only a quick-start guide shows on their site.

Replying to my own post in case it helps anyone in future:
Responses from gigabyte (after a very very lengthy delay):

The box should have the GPU, a metal sticker, a flyer for the 4 yr warranty registration (also available via their website) and a quick start guide. That's it. (woeful compared to past generations)
They say a support bracket can be used, no official product, buy your own
There is no manual anywhere at all. Just the quick start guide. That's it.

So, nothing to explain how to use the dual bios, or how the fan curves are set in the different modes. Nothing to detail the possible monitor resolution and timings/Hz for the various combinations. Nothing to explain that the middle HDMI has a gimped resolution and caps at 60Hz. Nothing to explain how to use or customise the RGB or the display panel. Nothing to even direct you to download drivers and custom software, nor where to get it from. No mention of what software to run to adjust settings and undervolt etc.

It's all p-poor in other words, and a far cry from the standard I'd expect from a company like Gigabyte for a card costing £700 (or more these days)

On the upside no coil-whine until it goes above 600fps (eg in FireStrike Night Raid)
