how is the 3070 in terms of content creation like editing video in Da vinci resolve?
It will be fine, not as fast as newer cards with more VRAM but it will be fine 👍
hi i want to buy a 240hz 1440p monitor i just play apex will i reach 240fps at low setting? i have r7 3700x and rtx 3070 thanks in advance and nice video
Good video man!
Thanks bro
RTX 3070 is good for games without DLSS, imagine popular games like fortnite have DLSS 3.5 it would dominate 4060 ti.
You can use the fsr 3 fg mod in stuff like cp2077, aw2, etc.
@@siyzerixmod creator says to NOT use it in online games.
And saddly, Frame generation adds latency, thats why isnt used in competitive games.
I have 3070 ti for 3 years and gaming on ultrawide 1440p monitor. Still runs good almost every game i launch. When 5000 series comes out, probably will get 4080 super
A wise decision. Let's hope the RTX 5000 series will not be overpriced. It seems like it's going to be since AMD will abandon high-end next gen, and therefore Nvidia will have another free reign and dictate prices.
thank bro, ULTRA good video, very detail
You're welcome, and thanks for the feedback 🙂
I got the Aorus 3070Ti bought 2023 middle of September, loved it but its showing its age spcially on the latest AAA titles.
I'll take Aorus any day over 4060 and 4070!
Which games are you referring to specifically? Because on my 3070 Aorus, I have yet to run across a game I can't run on 4k ultra 40fps. I don't think there's a GPU out there with better a price/performance ratio.
Bro I just upgraded to a 3070 💀💀
I'm happy enough with my 3070 for now, however enabling any signature UE5 features in certain games and any Ray-tracing makes this 8gb card Very uncomfortable. So yeah there's that. For anything else, and especially for e sports and any pre 2023 titles it's still quite a thing.
Yeah, it should still be good until 5070 releases. Let's hope Nvidia has learnt from this generation, that they can't just give us gimped 70 series cards. And let's hope AMD stands up to compete, so prices remain wallet friendly to us 👍
Got my 3070 2nd with roughly 230$ last year. Gotta say it's high risk high reward but was 100% worth it.
Gotta say, definitely big W 👍
Bought an used rtx 3070 msi gaming x trio for 330€, before I had a 1070. What do u think it’s a good upgrade for the price an the market? I play in 1080p an want to use it for other 4/5years
For the 1080p, it should be fine for at least 2 years for competitive gaming. 👍
@@OverseerPC-Hardware Sorry for my english I meant that I saw one and wanted to buy it, but thanks also to your videos, I have bought an rx 7700xt (430€) and also if i paid it 20 euros more then an 6800 i preffered it for better rt and possible new technologies like the new rumored IA enhanced upscaler by Amd that for sure will perform better on 7000 series gpus
Well its not bad
its good... i had 1050ti for 5 years it was good, and the 3070 will last long time when 5 series comes out i will buy 4070 lmao
i dont know if you said it in the video, but what cpu did you use to test the 3070?
PC specs and driver details are in the description bro 👍
I don't play the lates AAA games so my 3070 is serving me very well.
i am very happy with my 3070 wich i got recently a month ago im just gaming on 1080P and its pretty smooth
can it run the last of us at ultra ? i always worry about it's 8gb vram
Yes at 60-ish fps
@@phuctrangia3593the last of us is a shit optimised game for PC. But it was fixed a few days ago
@@JosephStalin42Onah now it gets 120s-150s
I just head you speaking like a South African, I subed and likes ASAP
Thanks for the support bro 👍
rtx 3070 and rx 6700 xt has roughly the same price in my country. Which one should i get? i know that 3070 is a little bit faster but the 12 gb vram of 6700 xt is kinda tempting
Largely depends on your use case. What game do you predominantly play?
@@OverseerPC-Hardware I mainly play singleplayer games but still play fps zealously every now and then just to keep it balanced. Thats why im in a dilemma between the two cards
In terms of raw performance, the RTX 3070 is superior vs RX 6700 XT. If you're concerned about lack of VRAM, just try to lower the settings on AAA games and you'll be good. 👍
Lol this is a huge upgrade from my GTX 1650ti on my rog laptop got mine second hand after deciding to build a pc and was very happy
Nice!
Currently using a laptop with a 1660 ti. Getting a 3070 ventus 2x tomorrow for $300. Just hoping it's worth it.
how tf are you putting a gpu in a laptop@@sleep234
Is there something I'm missing? Please tell me where I can get a NIB not refurbished 3070 for 300 dollars. Between Newegg, Wallyworld and Amazon the lowest price hovers around 430 dollars. Right now if you dont care about ray tracing or DLSS you can get a real world price of 380 for a 6800 non xt and it smokes both these cards in competative scenarios without the afforementioned Nvidia enhancements. US region here.
It's from the used marketplaces, bro. There should be heaps of it on that price range.
Why are you people so afraid of buying used? 😅 My 3070 is also used and it works perfectly fine.
I bought mine from Craigslist for 220$
im used to it and actually helpful for my situation
I got a 3070 i7 11700k it’s water cooled, an msi motherboard, and custom painted gpu, custom prebuilt off facebook marketplace for 1300 and it’s been going strong a whole year with no problems and it’s been great
Im use i5 12400f,rtx 3070,monitor 2k,but in pubg fps has 140,which driver 3070 you use,please help me
What's the rest of your specs?
bro I also want to buy a PC like this and a 2K monitor like yours, tell me how it runs games in 2K on ultra
*Great video, I would myself go with a 6700XT in that price range even though it's slightly slower than the 3070, I think newer games will start to utilise more than 8GB VRAM so the extra 4GB should hopefully be more stable, but all depends on the games played and settings used etc.*
That's exactly what I did. 8GB for such a card is a no go 👎🏻
RX 6700 XT is definitely a solid option. My gut feeling is to wait a bit. Now that the RX 7600 XT 16GB has been announced, I would be more inclined to get that card once it drops to $300... $329 is just too much for that card.
I think AMD is just putting it a bit higher whilst they are getting rid of RX 6700 XT stocks at $299.
@@OverseerPC-Hardware Yh deffo worth waiting with all these new AMD and Nvidia cards coming out if buying new. I got mine for £190 off AliExpress.
That's not a bad price. 👍
@@OverseerPC-Hardware I bought my ASRock RX6700XT FE for 270,00 the GPU is almost like new. I just mounted the fans off to clean a little dust. Overclocked and undervolted it already...runs like a champ
I can get an 8gb one for 200, worth it? i have an 5500xt 4gb, r5 2400g, 16 gb of ram, and my main game is fortnite.
If you can get a 3070 for $200, definitely would get it.
You will also need to upgrade your CPU if you want to be competitive in Fortnite. Something like this will be ok ($149) - amzn.to/3O0I8E8
👍
@@OverseerPC-Hardware thanks man, I realize my cpu would bottle neck and that the 5600 would work fine. thanks for the advice.
No worries, be sure to update your BIOS before you swap over to the new CPU 👍
y'all are tweaking if you think this thing ain't worth it
Bro how you done got 300fps on Apex Legends? I have 4060 but r5 3600 and cant reach even 220fps.
All my settings are on minimal expect graphics its on 2gb (very low)
Hi there, try to swap your CPU to something like this ($129) - amzn.to/3y4RhGE
You're likely limited by your processor.
@@OverseerPC-Hardware thank you for your advice, yes maybe lately will upgrade)
It should be significant upgrade. I jumped from a 3700X to a 5600X.. initially I thought it was going to be more or less the same (8cores to 6cores) but gaming was soooo much better. 👍
Idk if i should buy a 3070 build or save up for a 4070 build any advices?
If you are not in a hurry to build a pc then save up for 4070
Largely depends on what you need it for?
why not amd tho? i got rx 6800 fighter for 230$ last month i modded the bios for better temp -20w power with same performance overclock it to 2400mhz fast timing vram i also use windows 10 mod with only 49 process its faster than rtx 4070super in some cases but still loses is most of new games about 4fps slower and win in some games such as re4 remake and the last of us part 1 by 4-8 fps with 16gb of vram its a no brainer
@@FsicX 99% of people are not doing that and will not do that
@@spicywater1494 But the option was there unlike nvidia who locked the bios
is it worth it upgrading from 2070 to 3070? or should i just wait for prices to drop and get a 4070 instead?
Depends, what game do you primarily play?
@@OverseerPC-Hardware I play casual FPS single player AAA games and also RPG AAA games but i love to max out graphics. It gives me happy hormone just by looking at the game itself.
On multiplayer, I play Farlight84, Valheim, Helldivers 2, Deeprock Galactic, Palworld, Halo Infinite, Apex Legends...
All these games are played on 1080p 165hz maxed out settings. Is the 3070 not gonna be a waste of money if ever? Should I prioritize upgrading my resolution to 1440p first then the GPU next? Thanks! Love your vids btw ❤️
If you want to max out your graphics, don't bother with a 3070.. just go with this ($529) - amzn.to/3yeLcas

Oh, those set builds are definitely not the best choices for the price. Where are you based bro?
@@OverseerPC-Hardware but this 3build at the same price. what the best choices you suggest?
I have it for 2 years.
Its good but,,
The lack of vram makes huge differences in modern games.
games like cities skyline 2 or any game running with unity engine or unreal engine 5 is pain to run for this gpu.
The VRAM is indeed a downside for single player games or anything which requires graphical fidelity. Unfortunately, another planned obsolescence strategy by Nvidia.
3070 is still great for me at 1440. "But you can't run re4 or last of us remake!" Ill just play the originals if I want. State of modern AAA is very sad that remakes are the best they have.
@wreckedraccoon7684 yeah but it's not even worth buying when I could just play the OG is mostly my point.
wtf u can play both re4 and tlou on 1440p with 3070 just fine
how do u get 500 fps in val but on my rtx 3070 i barely get 300 on comp settings
This is the CPU we used - amzn.to/3u8a5TB
What's your PC specs?
@@OverseerPC-Hardwarei have the 5800x and it barely cracks 400 on comp no matter what resolution
I’m struggling to run cyberpunk 4k high settings with the 3070
Its not for 4k
Should've tested new games which came out in 2024 or end 2023
99% of the Tech YTers already do that - just run all high settings, run benchmark, get avg/1% results, make a graph, done. Most of those games also have updates once in a blue moon.
Whereas I mainly play these live service games hence why I focus my tests on these - these games update very often and their performance changes every time. Looking into these in detail gives a big picture in competitive play.
according to your chart the 6800 is better but even cheaper for about 400. and looking at the first options for 3070, im not seeing less than 488
Hi there, that's a chart from Hardware Unboxed, they usually cover latest AAA games. Whilst I cover competitive shooters, which doesn't get as much coverage from the main YTers.
The RX 6800 is a bit rare on my region (NZ) and is usually overpriced because of 16GB VRAM but yeah, I'd like to secure one if I find a decently priced used. Which region are you located?
You can't do a still worth it video and test it only in competitive games!
The games like cyberpunk 2077 , the last of us part 1 , resident evil 4 remake , Alan wake 2
You should test it in these games
Nah, you've got a lot of channels already doing that. I actually play these competitive games (which changes performance every patch).
Those channels just recycle their videos/results because those type of games only have patches once in a blue moon.
I regret buying the RTX 4060 brand new, so I decided to buy the RTX 3070 second-hand.
i scored a 3070 fe for $220, am i gonna be good for 4-5 years? i play 1080p
its a 1440p card. so... yes! Only... don't expect ray-tracing. That will eat too many resources with giving little in return in most games.(and the 3070 isn't so good at it)
But other then that? You will have smooth gameplay.(unless you do NOT have a processor who can feed the card with data. I talk about i7 from 4-5 years old or a current year i5 or Ryzen equal)
i have an i5-11600kf, and 16gb of ddr4. but no matter what, i think ill always be on low-med settings LOL. i came from igpu so im used to keep power and fps up while visuals can take a hit
@@idk-ng3oj I think the 3070 is the max(or close too max) graphic card your CPU can handle. So props with that! Nothing wasted! If you have stutters or problems in the future, just open task manager, and check which component has the highest load. Then that part should be upgraded.
But in your case? I think your computer is balanced and ready to go for a few years on 1080p. Your computer is as powerful as it gets for 1080p with good overhead, and even some decent room toward 1440p. Then in the next coming years, upgrade first your screen to 1440p, and after that, buy an entirely new computer suitable for 1440p.
For competitive 1080p gaming, it should be fine. If you play AAA games, it may be a bit of a struggle and you may need to lower settings because of its limited VRAM. Your next upgrade might be to increase RAM capacity, this is a cheap upgrade but will work wonders ($59) - amzn.to/4aWe2La
Why is my 3070 so small is founders edition and is tiny in comparison
The SuprimX is designed to look bigger so they can justify the price premium. The founders is just fine, and honestly I would prefer that compact size with decent cooling, but it isn't available in our region (New Zealand)
I have the same card, suprim x are the best imo
Totally agree, just different build quality.
i have a ryzen 3700x with a 3070 and im getting no where near these frames
You'd need to upgrade your CPU to something like this - amzn.to/3Su2t7z
To achieve similar FPS.
do i also get that type of fps with a i7 10700kf
maybe close on 1440p but on 1080p i doubt because the 5800x3d is a beast of a cpu which helps push those frames so high
Possibly a bit lower
I still prefer 3070 because it has 256 memory bus, while 4070 only 192! It's because new GPUs have less memory bus to avoid being used in Crypto mining!
I can't see any difference in most of these videos. It seems to me, as you're playing, you would notice even less if you are concentrating on game play. People spend all these $100's of dollars more just to see the OSD show better numbers. It's too expensive a game for me.
Just try to focus on frametimes. Most competitive-leaning players will notice deviations on frametimes in critical moments.
For casual players, some will notice this.. and most will just dismiss it as "something's off with my aim today". The video is a mostly summary/analysis as noone really likes to watch full benchmarking runs.
For single player AAA games, having frametime deviations will not be as critical compared to a live service competitive games. 👍
Got my Rtx 3070 Asus Strix for 330€.
Is my Ryzen 5 5600x good for my rtx 3070 ? I play on a 1080p 165hz monitor with 32gb ram 3200mhz
That should be fine bro, what PSU and motherboard do you have?
@@OverseerPC-Hardware 500 Watt bequit and msi b450 tomahawk Max 2
You might need to upgrade your PSU, something like this - amzn.to/3VrUedZ
500w will not be enough.
@@OverseerPC-Hardware for know is okay i undervoltet my gpu to 220 Watt and as soon i want to buy a be quit 750 Watt
Ok bro.. just be careful alright. This generation of GPUs was notorious to have micro-power spikes. 👍
Happy owner of gigabyte 3070 since 2021 paired with 5800X 32GB ram at 3200, 570 carbon MSI board all the family used the PC gaming, School, work, mining etc running 24/7 no plans to upgrade.
The only issue with 3070 is the VRAM but you can live with it.
OVERPRICED AT $300
faster than rx 6700xt? now wait a minute
It is though? (is the 6700 really faster then 6700?
no@@darthpotwet2668
Yes faster. I think it was the RX 6800, which was the direct RTX 3070 competitor. AMD just makes such weird naming convention for their segmentation.
@@OverseerPC-Hardware yeah my comment assumed the other person was sarcastic
Yes 100%, my daughter has one in her PC. Plays everything absolutely fine… Forza 5 at 1440p all Ultra + Ray tracing smooth as you like. Fortnite DX 12 at 1080p 120fps medium/high settings with no ray tracing etc. Ryzen 5 5600, 32GB DDR4 3000M/T, 1TB WD Blue PCIE x 3 M.2.
Ive 600w brand fsp..is it enough for rtx 3070 bcuz ive a limited budget for new monitor..should i upgrade psu too?

For competitive gaming, CPU bottleneck would be the usual scenario.
