ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 3070 Blower 8GB Graphics Card

Description: Item is pre-owned, but is in great working condition! Please note there is slight melting on the case in picture 3. It probably sat to close to a PSU for a brief period. It does not effect performance at all! I do not have the original box. The pictures and stats are from playing Dyson Sphere Program, a game available on Steam on my Windows 11 gaming machine. I have increased my QA and Stress Testing process. All cards are functioning excellently including temperature control. Feel free to view my feedback, I'm a fairly new seller but have been buying on eBay for a long time since 1998. I'm happy to go out of my way to make sure customers are satisfied and am very transparent, just like how I want my sellers to be when I buy. The cards have been used for mining and gaming but that doesn't mean an impact to performance. Please see link below on a video about the effects of mining on cards. Most used cards in the market right now have probably been mined on. :-) I happily provide the information below because everyone has a right to be an informed buyer! Hope you buy from me! Blower style information: https://forums.fast.ai/t/why-you-probably-want-a-blower-gfx-for-multi-gpus/31695A good video comparing blower to standard fan models: https://youtu.be/x0FTAFhnh3E?si=8jdgWqT0kYXomDmWTLDR: Blowers follow a more predictable airflow pattern and are designed to blow air out of your system, but they run loud when at load. I personally love the blower design, they are a great design and a must when dealing with multi-gpu builds for AI, mining, and graphics rendering. I did raise the price on these units a little because I repasted the units with Arctic MX-4 thermal paste and they are quiet now! It doesn't push the blower that hard even when I stress tested it. These blowers are designed to run a little hotter but are in very safe ranges for temps. It's safe to run the card up to 93 C (check Google), hot spots can be much higher. GPU die flatness and uniformity also has an impact on hotspot temperatures. There's some "silicon lottery" type variability there, so you will get the odd GPU with a high hotspot no matter what you do. I gamed with the units, Diablo 4, and was surprised at how quiet it is. I would say if your case doesn't get too hot, then you probably won't notice noise from the unit. If it gets noisy, then re-paste down the road with a quality thermal paste. Here a link to my video with sound under stress test. https://imgur.com/a/RrouCRN If you decide to get a blower for a gaming pc, you may have to tinker with the airflow to get a good wind tunnel effect through your pc. But once you get it right, you'll have a superior build. I think as long as your case isn't that hot inside it won't push the blower and it will remain quiet.Check out this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/overclocking/comments/m6hyjc/i_added_a_60mm_exhaust_fan_under_the_gpu_and_it/ Here's a reddit post comparing the 4070 to the 3070: https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/15tj6e5/rtx_3070_vs_rtx_4070/TLDR: 3070 is a better price for performance model. If you have money and want to go with one of the top performers, go for the 4070ti over the 4070, otherwise I'd pick this 3070. Link to a video where a person tests performance on a cards mined on: https://youtu.be/hKqVvXTanzI?si=w3SutKqa7iSn2ZfNTLDR: Linus compares similar GPUs after 1, 2 and 3 years of mining with a new out of the box GPU. He really didn’t notice any difference in performance as the clock speed for all cards was within the margin of error.
