EVGA RTX 3070 XC3 Ultra vs RTX 3070 Founder Edition

I'm always asked if the custom cards are worth it over the Founder Edition models... so today we pit the new RTX 3070 XC3 Ultra from EVGA against the RTX 3070 FE from NVIDIA.

Who else got it removed from the cart at checkout? :(

Who else got screwed with the "no longer available for shipping" on best buy? ;_;

I managed to get it in my cart, "Shipping not available to your area, No pickup 250mi from your area"

I was also in the Why are you making this content when no one can buy one, then I realized, 99% of the hardware you review I don't ever intend on buying anyway lol

[fluph]

"This is the one that costs $499"

Oh oct 2020 how naïve

It's crazy how much some of these AiB partners charge for things that don't give a whole lot of actual return.

[mateowoetam]

did you get one? "no" what did it cost? my sleep schedule.

I finally got one of these through the EVGA queue. Glad I didn't have to pay the newer prices.

When I tried to buy my 3070 it got "We can't ship to your area" I got all the way to the check out and I was putting my card in and when I was hitting BUY it said that message.

I can almost guarantee the 3000 series will still be listed as "Out Of Stock" in a year from now.

Best buy dropped a lot of cards this morning. Was able to get one of these for $560. Can't wait to pick it up this weekend!

[Rob-dddm]

I didn't try to get one. I've given up completely on getting these new parts. I need a new hobby. lol

[贾炳锐]

$499 FE from MicroCenter. No line at all here in OH when I arrived and there seemed to be plenty in stock this morning.

I finally got a 3070. A few years later. The EVGA 3070 FTW3 Ultra. I've used EVGA since my very first build and have never had any problems so I kept with them. Thanks for the video. I know you got alot of hate when making these videos but you were right when you said we'd need them when we could actually find them.

Less of “is it worth it?”, more of “is it available?” Lol

[ttamn]

For the first time in.... well ....ever I'm waiting on AMD this time around they look really good this time

[alexanderlines]

Trying to find a review on these in 2023 is a joke 😂 the comments and videos are just everyone complaining about the chip shortage. What a time to be alive!! Just grabbed an xc3 for $270 lol

[wafflefaleel]

They delayed the release just for them to go out of stock again 😭

In the words of an old fishing buddy "Hah, got one!"
