With the release of the GeForce RTX 3070, NVIDIA's latest entry in the RTX 30 Series range offers up RTX 2080 Ti like performance is a far more affordable package. And where the Founder's Edition outperformed our own RTX 2080 TI (as see in our review), the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3070 GAMING OC takes things one step further. Thanks to a little thing called overclocking.

A snippet.

Where the story gets a little more interesting is with the release of new partner cards from the likes of GIGABYTE (and Zotac) - where more traditional twin or triple-fan designs are paired with time tested power delivery and cooling methods. And OC tweaking software to build on the out-of-the-box factory overclocking. That is taking the reference clock speeds found in NVIDIA’s Founder’s Edition and pushing that RTX 2080 Ti-like performance even further.

In the case of the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3070 GAMING OC 8G that much is certain, where across gaming and titles where ray-tracing and other advanced RTX features were enabled - outside of a few “basically the same” results - the GIGABYTE RTX 3070 performs exceptionally well.

And stays quiet and cool while doing so.
