RTX 3070 1440p Review 2 years later!

In this video I'm doing an updated review of the RTX 3070 to see if it can handle 1440p, specifically the ASUS ROG STRIX Model at 1440p. It's been 2 years and many driver updates. So lets see if it's aged well and still worth the buy today. I also go into the current market and what pricing you should consider when buying an RTX 3070! I will be doing a follow up with the RTX 3070 vs the RX 6700xt please get subscribed to check that out.

TEST BENCH:
Ryzen 5 5600g
Asrock X570 Pro4 motherboard
16GB 3200MHz G skill Ripjaws
240GB SSD Boot drive
3TB HDD
1000w 80+ Gold rated power supply
Fractal Design Focus G case

Picked up my 3070 for $525 with a free game on Black Friday. I'm happy with it, first upgrade in 10 years from my 970

I just upgraded to a 3070 from a 1060. it's quite a jump for me. every game I play easily gets 60+ fps now. mainly because I don't play at 1440p. I still play at 1080p with max settings. one day, I'll pick up a 1440p monitor, but my vg248qe is still working great.

Thank you for all your work in this upload! It shows that the 4000 series is a "Skip" and it is wise to wait for the 5000 or 8000 from team Red.

Such an awesome card, I managed to buy a used one for 240usd here on Argentina, supposedly mined for 4 months before the crash, we inspected it and it seems to be in perfect condition, so happy to had been able to upgrade my 1060 :D

I waited 2 years for 3070 for the price to drop and to be actually in stock. I finally bought one few days ago and it`s a big upgrade from my 1660 ti. I play at 1080p and it`s more than ok. Also, i have i5 9600k and contrary to the popular opinion it`s a great combo.

I do like both Nvidia and AMD cards. Having 1440p card with 8gb ram is just to limit performance in 4K on release and force customers to more frequent upgrade in couple years when textures will get heavy on memory.

I’ve been using an MSI Trio 3x 3070 for 2 years as well. Never run into any cooling issues or
Performance issues. 💪 solid GPU, more affordable now than when i bought it tho haha
But definitely recommend it for a start up build in 1440p gaming. 🔥

Upgraded from a gtx 1650 as a temp gpu for a year since prices were abysmal to a msi suprim 3070 and the jump is fantastic, can olay any game at 1080p ultra extreme at very smooth frame rate and 2k, 4k is deffo possible

[hartsickdisciple]

I've been using a 3070 for 2 years. Yes, it can definitely handle 1440p quite well. It can run most games pretty well at 4k as well.

Just bought a Used Rtx 3070 Founder's Edition a week ago that was used for video editing with 2 month warranty still left for 288 USD. 💥💥

Good content.
• IMO, for average gamer RTX 3070 is plenty for another 2 years. I've just got mine for 400 EUR 'used' (factory sealed) as some unfortunate scalpers are forced to sell brand new stock that they originally bought for 1100 EUR.
• However there is one peculiar case for 1440p or 4K online competitive gaming that might become a trend in the future as more super detailed open worlds are introduced. Hunt: Showdown by Crytek has vegetation so dense, abundant and detailed that it's impossible to see other players hiding in it unless you play in 4K or at least upscale using NVIDIA's (DL) Dynamic Super Resolution, etc. I bought an RTX 3070 just to be competitive.

Came across this video when researching this card. Bought my co-workers ROG Strix 3070 v2 OC for $250. It's a beast

Getting a new rtx 3070 for 500cad (~380usd) has been a huuuge upgrade from my rx 570!

[papalazarou]

My daughter has my sons old Palit 3070 GamingPro card and it plays RDR2, Fortnite, Forza and The Finals on 1440p high settings with no problems at all. Great card, no regrets buying it. My son now has the Asus 4070 TUF Gaming OC card and I’d say it’s a slightly better 3070 but with an extra 4GB of VRAM. If the 3070 had come with 12GB then it would have been one of the best cards of all time.

Bought a used 3070 AORUS Master for $300 today, thanks for your input!

[deadtake]

Got my FTW3 ultra for $350, the dude said it had been running undervolted and its been running fine for a few months now, it barley even had any dust on it.

[someasianguy]

Nice video and well presented mate. However, as this was a test on how well the RTX 3070 has aged in two years, then you probably should have included a few graphically intensive games from this year, e.g. Dying Light 2, A Plague Tale Requiem.

[kzahn]

Upgraded from a 2070 super for this card! $375. Can't wait to try this out! Thanks for the video!

[FreedomForAll]

Of course it can... I use a 2070 super in 1440p and run over 200fps on max settings in Warthunder

[miatafied]

I just picked up a Asus TUF 3070 for $275. Swapping out my 2080 for a small upgrade on the low low. Hoping to get rid of my frame drops in cyberpunk with raytracing. If it can keep me above 60fps at all times in cyberpunk with ultra everything I’ll be happy. Right now I’m between 40-80fps on my 2080, goal is 60-80fps
