Features

Take Flight

From top to bottom, the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3070 Ti has been radically improved to accommodate the impressive new NVIDIA Ampere architecture and to deliver the next wave of gaming performance innovation to the market. A fresh design and more metal surrounds a grouping of Axial-tech fans. Last gen’s uniform fan layout has been usurped by a new rotation scheme and specialized roles for central and auxiliary fans. Below the blades, a larger, more impressive heatsink is ready for the most demanding thermal loads. The PCB has some new tricks up its sleeves, and even the backplate has received some performance-boosting changes. You’ve been waiting for the latest and greatest in graphics card design. and this is it.

Axial-Tech Upgrades

Our Axial-tech fan design has been optimized for a new, larger heatsink that features more fins and surface area than last gen. The blade count has been increased on all three fans, with 13 on the center fan and 11 on the auxiliary fans. The barrier ring on the side fans has been slimmed down to allow for more lateral intake and to provide better airflow through the cooling array. The center fan’s extra blades and full-height ring provide boosted static pressure to blast air directly onto the GPU heat spreader.

New Directions

To bolster the specialized roles of the center and auxiliary fans, the rotational direction of the center fan has been reversed. This reduces airflow turbulence inside of the cooling array for another boost to the card’s overall thermal performance. The sum of the ROG Strix’s cooling innovations results in lower fan speeds and raises the performance threshold for achieving a sub-55 degree GPU temp, at which point the fans can shut off completely. Builders seeking quiet performance will be pleased.

Max Contact

To get heat up off the die and into the heatsink array to benefit from the new fan design requires special attention. We use a manufacturing process that polishes the surface of the heat spreader to improve smoothness at the microscopic level. The extra flatness allows for better contact with the die for improved thermal transfer.

2.9-Slot Design

The heat spreader draws heat up into heatpipes that carry it through a fin stack that fills a large 2.9-slot footprint. Increasing the heatsink size compared to the last generation provides more thermal headroom to account for the new high-performance chipset.

Premium Components

Top-shelf capacitors, chokes, and MOSFETs are selected to effortlessly deliver hundreds of watts at a millisecond’s notice. The Super Alloy Power II parts are soldered to the PCB using our advanced Auto-Extreme automated manufacturing process. Smooth joints on the rear of the PCB and the elimination of human errors ensures each graphics card meet our rigorous specifications.

FanConnect II

The rear of the ROG Strix graphics card sports two PWM FanConnect headers that provide additional DIY flexibility. Chassis fans can be directly attached to the GPU and tuned with a curve that is based on CPU or GPU temperature, providing extra intake or exhaust for demanding 3D tasks.

Fresh Shroud

In addition to under-the-hood design changes, the ROG Strix features a new face with metal accents that mirror the design aesthetic of ROG and ROG Strix motherboards. Mixing surface textures and materials make a statement when vertically mounted and lit by chassis LEDs. For those who prefer a sleeker, more subtle look, the greyscale colorway allows it to seamlessly blend into the build.

It’s Cooler Out Back

Flipping the card around reveals more design improvements. A wide backplate vent and shortened PCB allows hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being recycled by the GPU’s circulating cooler design. A GPU bracket provides extra stability to the critical connection between die and heat spreader. The I/O bracket is made from stainless steel to protect ports and provide a more secure mount. A conveniently placed Dual BIOS switch allows quick selection between “performance” and “quiet” mode for basic customization of the card’s default behavior without software.

Functional Front

Careful attention has been paid to the front of the GPU, as it’s the most visible part of the card in typical configurations. A new addressable RGB element can be customized with Armoury Crate to create a uniform look along with other ROG components. To fulfill the power demands of the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, three 8-pin power connectors are present, along with an onboard circuit that monitors PSU rail voltage. The circuit is fast enough to catch any transients that result in the rail voltage dropping too low. If that happens, a red LED will light up to indicate a power supply issue. The Strix’s reinforced metal frame is also visible here, adding a literal layer of durability.

GPU Tweak II

The Asus GPU Tweak II utility takes graphics card tuning to the next level. It allows you to tweak critical parameters including GPU core clocks, memory frequency, and voltage settings, with the option to monitor everything in real-time through a customizable on-screen display. Advanced fan control is also included along with many more features to help you get the most out of your graphics card.

Asus puts its spin on the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti with its new ROG Strix RTX 3070 Ti, a gigantic thumper of a custom Ampere card.

The Bottom Line

Asus expands its ROG Strix GPU family with the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, rocking 8GB of super-fast GDDR6X memory and ready to game in 2021 and beyond (if you can find it).

Introduction

Asus is back again with a new custom ROG Strix graphics card, this time with the new GA104-powered ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics card.

The new Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is the usual ROG Strix affair with a 2.9-slot design and triple-fan cooler, near-identical to the just-released ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card. Underneath is the Ampere GA104 GPU on Samsung’s custom 8nm node, with 8GB of super-fast GDDR6X memory.

NVIDIA’s own GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition graphics card is a much smaller dual-slot affair, so Asus is going mega-chunky with its ROG Strix RTX 3070 Ti. We have the same trimmings on the ROG Strix RTX 3070 Ti as the higher-end RTX 3080 Ti, with an additional HDMI 2.1 port that enables single-cable 4K 120/144Hz and 8K 60Hz.

Right now I’m driving the new Asus ROG Strix XG43UQ which is a 43-inch 4K 144Hz gaming monitor, which is plugged into HDMI 2.1 on the Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. Next to that I have the Asus ROG Strix XG438Q, the previous-gen model of this monitor.- still 4K and 144Hz but it’s over DisplayPort 1.4.

A nice little family photo of NVIDIA’s new GeForce RTX 30 series Founders Edition graphics cards, and my reviews on each of the separate cards.

For the entire time testing the Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3070 Ti OC Edition graphics card, I was using their new Asus ROG Strix XG43UQ monitor. a huge 43-inch 4K 144Hz monitor with HDMI 2.1 connectivity. I used HDMI 2.1 directly into every GeForce RTX 3070 Ti that I’ve tested here today and will continue from this day onward.

Everything You Need to Know About Ampere

RTX 3070 Ti Tech Specs

NVIDIA has made some rather big improvements with Ampere over the previous-gen Turing GPU architecture, with the new GeForce RTX 3070 Ti rocking 6144 CUDA cores against the 2560 CUDA cores found inside of the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER.

We have the new GeForce RTX 3070 Ti packing 48 SMS, 192 Tensor Cores (3rd Gen) and 48 RT Cores (2nd Gen) against the 40 SMS, 320 Tensor Cores (2nd Gen), and 40 RT Cores (1st Gen) inside of the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER.

GPU boost clocks are close to the same between the two GPUs, with the new GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition with a base GPU clock of 1575MHz and boost GPU clock of 1770MHz.- the base clock on the RTX 2070 SUPER is slightly higher.

But the major improvement here with the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is the use of GDDR6X memory, with NVIDIA using the same 8GB framebuffer. the new GDDR6X clocked at 19Gbps (up from 14Gbps on GDDR6) on the same 256-bit memory bus results in 608GB/sec of memory bandwidth (up from 448GB/sec on the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER).

Detailed Look

Asus is back with great retail packaging as usual for its new ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics card.

Both of the Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics cards look virtually identical, where if you walked past a gaming PC with one of them inside of it. you wouldn’t be able to guess which GPU it would be.

In saying that, I’m a big fan of the Asus ROG Strix style here.

Asus provides an additional HDMI 2.1 port on the ROG Strix RTX 3070 Ti (and RTX 3080 Ti) which is handy if you’ve got 2 x 4K 120/144Hz monitors that you wanted to plug into the card with HDMI 2.1 and not DP 1.4 connectors.

Asus is once again using a 2.9-slot design with a triple-fan cooler, it’s a mammoth card in your hands, and inside of your motherboard and gaming PC.

You’ll need a pretty crazy triple 8-pin PCIe power connector setup for the Asus ROG Strix RTX 3070 Ti, that’s an entire additional 8-pin PCIe power connector over the dual 8-pin PCIe power requirements on the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition and MSI RTX 3070 Ti SUPRIM X graphics cards.

There’s dual BIOSes on the card as well, Power and Quiet modes for GPU boost.

Test System Specs

Latest upgrade:

Asus provided a rather large upgrade to my GPU testing lab.- or rather, I kept the Asus ROG Swift PG43UQ gaming monitor after my review on it. The 43-inch 4K 144Hz panel is just glorious to look at.- it’s huge, the DPI for Windows 10 when set perfect for your viewing distance is kiss-fingers-emoji good. It’s just amazing.- for work, and gaming.

Sabrent sent over their huge Rocket Q 8TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 SSD, which will be my new Games install SSD inside of my main test bed.

I’ll be making some changes over the coming months to the GPU test bed here for TweakTown, to both the Ryzen 9 5900X and then Intel’s new Core i9-11900K to do some proper PCIe 4.0 testing between the chipsets for GPUs super-fast load times into games on these new super-fast Sabrent SSDs.

Sabrent helped out with some new storage for my GPU test beds, sending over a slew of crazy-fast Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 SSDs. I’ve got this installed into my GPU test bed as the new Games Storage drive, since games are so damn big now. Thanks to Sabrent, I’ve got 2TB of super-fast M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD storage now.

Anthony’s GPU Test System Specifications

I’ve recently upgraded my GPU test bed.- at least for now, until AMD’s new Ryzen 9 5950X processor is unleashed then the final update for 2020 will happen and we’ll be all good for RDNA 2 and future Ampere GPU releases.

Benchmarks. Synthetic

3DMark Fire Strike

3DMark has been a staple benchmark for years now, all the way back to when The Matrix was released and Futuremark had bullet time inspired benchmarks. 3DMark is the perfect tool to see if your system. most important, your CPU and GPU. is performing as it should. You can search results for your GPU, to see if it falls in line with other systems based on similar hardware.

Heaven. 1080p

Heaven is an intensive GPU benchmark that really pushes your silicon to its limits. It’s another favorite of ours as it has some great scaling for multi-GPU testing, and it’s great for getting your GPU to 100% for power and noise testing.

Benchmarks. 1080p

Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla is the latest game to be inserted into our benchmark suite, with Ubisoft Montreal using its AnvilNext engine to power the game. It scales really well across the cards, and has some surprising performance benefits with AMD’s new Big Navi GPUs.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War is a sequel to the popular Shadow of Mordor, which was powered by the Lithtech engine. When cranked up to maximum detail, it will chew through your GPU and its VRAM like it’s nothing.

Metro Exodus is one of the hardest tests that our graphics cards have to go through, with 4A Games’ latest creation being one of the best looking games on the market. It is a serious test that pushes GPUs to their limits, and also features RTX technologies like DLSS.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is one of the latest games to join our graphics card benchmark lineup, with the game built using the Foundation engine as a base, the same engine in Rise of the Tomb Raider. Eidos Montreal RD department made lots of changes to the engine during the development of Shadow of the Tomb Raider to make it one of the best-looking games out right now.

1080p Benchmark Performance Thoughts

1080p gaming is definitely something NVIDIA’s new GeForce RTX 3070 Ti dominates in, with 60FPS easily on AAA games with maxed out graphics for the most part. You should also be able to crank ray tracing in games like Cyberpunk 2077 and nail 60FPS average thanks to DLSS technology.

If you’re playing esports games then you’ll want 120-144FPS which is something the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti can easily do. Games like Overwatch, League of Legends, CS:GO, Rainbow Six: Siege and many others will enjoy those huge triple-digit frame rates.

The new Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3070 Ti OC Edition will have no problems carving through 1080p games of yesterday, today, and tomorrow at 60FPS and beyond.

Benchmarks. 1440p

1440p Benchmark Performance Thoughts

The same goes for 2560 x 1440 on the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, with its 8GB of super-fast GDDR6X memory enough to handle everything you throw at it at 1440p. You’ll be getting 60FPS with ray tracing DLSS in AAA games, or 120FPS in esports titles without a problem.

4K Benchmark Performance Thoughts

For the 4K gamers I would recommend getting the new flagship GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card, first off it’s much faster.- and it has 12GB of GDDR6X memory which makes it better equipped for 4K and 4K 120FPS gaming.

Still, the RTX 3070 Ti will give you 4K 60FPS gaming without a problem either.

Overclocking

Out of the box my sample of the custom Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3070 Ti was ticking along at 1950MHz boost GPU or so, about 100MHz higher than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition graphics card.

When it comes to overclocking I did expect big things out of the card, with the GPU sitting at 2055MHz comfortably for a while before I pushed it up to 2100MHz nice and stable.

Great to see out of the card, but the MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Ti SUPRIM X has similar results (you wouldn’t tell the difference in terms in-person as there’s only a few FPS between the two cards) but requires one entire less 8-pin PCIe power connector.

Power Consumption Temps

The original testing and my notes are below.

Out of the box the GPU is running at around 65-70C which is considerably hotter than its flagship competitor from MSI in the form of the RTX 3070 Ti SUPRIM X.- which has the GA104 GPU running at 63-65C under load. The GPU hotspot on the Asus ROG Strix RTX 3070 Ti is 73-75C (MSI SUPRIM X = 71-73C) meanwhile the GDDR6X is toasty AF at 92C compared to the chilly lows of 74-76C on the SUPRIM X.

What’s Hot, What’s Not

What’s Hot

  • Ridiculously fast RTX 3070 Ti: Asus will always provide some of the very best performance you can get out of a GeForce GPU with its flagship ROG Strix line of graphics cards.- and the new ROG Strix RTX 3070 Ti is no exception.
  • ROG Strix style: Another deniable thing about Asus ROG Strix graphics cards is that they look good, and the new ROG Strix RTX 3070 Ti looks identical to the ROG Strix RTX 3080 Ti and that’s already a damn good looking card.
  • 2100MHz boost GPU: 2085-2100MHz or so, but it couldn’t quite crack 2100MHz meanwhile the MSI RTX 3070 Ti SUPRIM X did. Still, you wouldn’t tell the difference between the two in the middle of a game at 120FPS versus 122FPS.

What’s Not

  • Triple 8-pin PCIe power connectors: Asus requires 3 x 8-pin PCIe power connectors, meanwhile the MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Ti SUPRIM X requires 2 x 8-pin PCIe power connectors and has virtually identical performance across the board (and it even runs cooler).

Final Thoughts

Asus always delivers when it comes to flagship ROG Strix graphics cards and for the most part, that is same deal with the new ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3070 Ti OC Edition. It has great thermal performance, those same ROG Strix design feels you’ve come to know and love, and more.

NVIDIA is positioning the new GeForce RTX 3070 Ti at a replacement to the GeForce GTX 10 series cards, especially the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti.- giving gamers RTX real-time ray tracing, DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and so much more with Ampere.

The new RTX 3070 Ti is combating the AMD Radeon RX 6800 with its 16GB of GDDR6, more VRAM (16GB versus 8GB on the RTX 3070 Ti) but non-X versus the GDDR6X memory NVIDIA is using on the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. The regular RTX 3070 has the same 8GB framebuffer, but just GDDR6.- the new RTX 3070 Ti fixes that and better competes with the 16GB GDDR6 Infinity Cache on offer with the Radeon RX 6800.

NVIDIA just announced that a bunch more games will be getting RTX ray tracing and DLSS upgrades soon, where during its virtual Computex 2021 keynote the company announced that huge games like DOOM Eternal, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Rainbow Six: Siege would be getting RTX and DLSS technologies (some both, some just DLSS).

If you are building a new PC and can find needles in haystacks.- or should I say, the Asus ROG Strix RTX 3070 Ti and any new RTX 30 series card.- and you’re happy to pay whatever price you see it for, you know what to do: buy it.

RTX DLSS make the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti a game-changer if you’re playing the right games, giving you 4K 60FPS when you would otherwise play at 1440p 60FPS or below. Asus gives you everything you need, and crams it into the ROG Strix RTX 3070 Ti OC Edition.

The Best Memorial Day Sale and Deals for Gaming and Tech (And Some Other Stuff)

Today is Memorial Day. Memorial Day isn’t traditionally a big sale day when it comes to electronics (most of the deals are in home improvement, appliances, home decor, and the like), but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any good deals to be found. Here are the best gaming and tech deals we’ve found so far.

2021 55″ Sony A90J 4K OLED TV for 999.99

As part of the Best Buy Memorial Day Sale, you can get the 2021 55″ Sony A90J 4K OLED TV for only 999.99. The Sony A90J TV is a higher end OLED model from Sony that’s superior to the newer 2022 A80K OLED. The picture quality is as good as the ubiquitous LG C2 (for 200 less at the current price). The A90J is marketed as a gaming TV and is host to several welcome gaming-centric features. It has a true 120Hz panel and two HDMI 2.1 ports for running 4K at 120Hz on a PS5, Xbox Series X, or RTX 30 series equipped PC.

TCL QM8 4K Mini LED QLED TVs On Sale Today

HDMI 2.1 for 4K @ 120Hz

The new 2023 TCL QM8 TV boasts a combination of a QLED and Mini-LED panel with full array LED backlighting, local dimming, and wide color gamut. It’s also one of the brightest TVs on the market. Mini LED panels allow for even more precising local dimming because the controller zones are smaller and more numerous. Whereas a normal LCD TV with local dimming might have as many as 100 zones, the TCL QM8 boasts 2,300 zones.

The TCL QM8 also has gamers covered. It features a native 120Hz panel and two HDMI 2.1 inputs. That means it can pass true 4K @ 120Hz on PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles and RTX 30 series equipped gaming PCs. The TCL R646 also supports VRR with Game Accelerator 240 (up to 240Hz refresh rate at 1080p), ALLM, and AMD FreeSync Pro.

500 off Epson Home Cinema 5050UB 4K Projector

The Epson 5050UB is, in my opinion, the best projector you’ll find for under 3K. In fact, it’s close to the best projector you’ll find under 4K. The 5050UB was released way back in 2019, but up until now no 4K projector in its price range has been able to match its incredible black levels and contrast ratio. In a properly light-controlled room, it’s indistinguishable from a premium TV. The 2-way shifted 4K resolution is also really good. not quite native 4K but a big step up in sharpness compared to 1080p. It’s also flexible in terms of setup thanks to its generous horizontal and vertical motorized lens shift.
