only obvious difference is twin or triple fans? guessing less noise from the larger twin fans

is it worth spending the extra for Asus/Gigabyte over the cheapest Inno/KFA2?

what makes the ones at £800 so much more than the £630 KFA2??
 
Generally the higher end cards have better VRM's, cooling solutions, and even better binned parts.

There's is always an element of brand premium tax too. You're gonna pay more for Asus just becasue lol.

To be honest even if you look at an entry level card vs the high end overclocked card, the fps differences are minimal. Most people are undervolting cards are opposed to pushing more volts to overclock as gains are minimal.

I'd say the most worthwhile reason to purchase a card is probably warranty for most.
 
The KFA2 has a good cooler and so is decent for the money.

Otherwise maybe spend a few quid extra and go for Asus, MSI or Gigabyte cards that are all sub £700 on OcUK
 
It depends what you want from a card, eg price, or quietest and coolest, or one with strongest vrms and power draw for overclocking (although the 3070ti is already relatively power hungry compared to the AMD 6800) eg
 
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the KFA2 980Ti when I purchased it. It won't rival the premium designs but it has been fairly quiet, trouble-free and does the job.

I'd be quite happy to consider a future KFA2 graphics card.
 
ok thanks, the KFS does seem fine then...especially if they're decent to deal with any warranty issues

will look in to undervolting...don't want to do any overclocking but quick google says undervolting can't do any harm

I'd sooner pay a bit extra and get a three or five year warranty for a GPU.

KFA's two year warranty just doesn't cut it for me.

If you do want something with a longer warranty this is a nice alternative, slightly slower than the 3070ti, but the 3070 uses a fair bit less power as well, so if you game a lot you will recover the difference between it and the price of the cheapest 3070ti in reduced electricity. Still a fair bit above MRSP though, but this always will be as its very premium

I don't game a lot tbh, current gpu/cpu is over 10 years old so its uses are limited...any gaming is on consoles just now but want the option to game on PC again..just want a decent PC that can handle gaming,video editing, fusion 360 etc etc comfortably, not high or low end...somewhere in the upper middle!

Yeah I'd agree, at current pricing I'd be tempted by the Zotac trinity for £20 more (assuming Zotac's warranty isn't an empty promise!)

Yeah the problem is you get the long warranty with Zotac but most of their coolers are crap in comparison to the competition. The Twin Edge for instance can't even cool a cool running 3060Ti without being a noisy pos, yet the MSI twin fan GamingX runs silent in the same system.
 
Zotac requires the extended RMA done internationally if I remember right, at some point not worth the bother. On performance per pound its probably not 'worth' but some people want a particular feature so for them its something they want. If you dont game and its just maybe nothing more then 3060ti is required
 
Wouldn't go 'cheap' 70ti myself, considering the power/heat output, (imo)that cards not going to cope very well long term, I'll also guess that cards going to be very loud/hot under load-if that matters.

You could save some money and get a better cooled 70, you'll probably never notice the difference gaming anyway and get this Palit 3070:

Jumped on one@launch and it's been very good, admittedly I was pretty sceptical getting a Palit as never owned one before, but it does the job.
 
so...my thinking was to go for the highest performing card within budget (no set budget but just looking at prices decided on 3070ti) but seems like that's maybe not the best idea.
Thanks for the replies...will look at the 3070's mentioned
