NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition 8GB GDDR6X graphics card

What the RTX 3070 is for

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition is a graphics card built on the RTX 30 Series architecture with 5888 CUDA cores. It targets gamers and creators who want strong 1440p performance and can supply a 650W power supply. The PCI Express 4.0 interface keeps data moving to modern platforms.

8GB GDDR6X capacity and headroom

8GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus runs at 14000 MHz effective clock. That pool handles high-refresh 1440p gaming and moderate creative workloads. Pushing 4K with heavy texture packs or large 3D scenes will exhaust the frame buffer and force texture streaming compromises.

Thermals noise and 220W power draw

The Founders Edition cooler manages the 220W thermal design power with a dual-flow-through design that exhausts heat out the rear bracket. Under typical gaming loads the card runs at the 1730 MHz boost clock while fan noise stays at a moderate level. A 650W PSU provides adequate headroom for the whole system.
