Zotac GeForce RTX 3070 Twin Edge OC

[W1zzard]

Zotac sells their factory-overclocked GeForce RTX 3070 Twin Edge close to the NVIDIA MSRP, which makes it an excellent choice for the value-oriented buyer. The card is also the only dual-slot design today, so it can fit into smaller systems that still pack a punch.

22 percent faster if you go with a 3080, 8 percent faster from there to 3090. I still think the 3080 is the better card if you can find a $700 USD model. I see most of the 3070's in Canada are $600 USD so are not very interesting. So far only one "$500 USD" model here, the Gigabyte Eagle, but no review yet.

From my personal experience from few years ago with gigabyte on amd and nvidia gpus I would avoid them.

Well, the 3070 will be hard to get and its price will sky rocket...

I guess the price craze won't end until after Christmas, probably it will end up affecting AMD GPUs as well.
Well, I guess I can save up for another few months....

Nice, thanks for the review.
Bought one today in France for 519 euros, expecting a nice step up compare to my current vega 56.

Anyone changed heatsink to make it compatible with 19cm Chinese order-made cases like LOLI1 K39 etc.?

You could certainly save a little bit of space by cutting off the plastic, but I don't think you can get it down to 19 cm

Great review, thanks for it! Any news about waterblock compatibility for this model?

Yesterday my twin edge OC arrived. When i finished installing it i fired up Control Ultimate, set everything to ultra with rtx on and played for 10' to discover RT for the first time. It' something that has to be seen. What i found funny is that RT is next level but the models and textures not that much

Anyway, playing for 5-10' with everything at ultra the Card reached 2318rpm. It doesn't sound loud anymore, it sounds like a jet plane. I'll try to undervolt and more importantly will try with other games and settings to see if my card replicates w11zard findings (1955rpm).

What were the thermal pad sizes? More specifically, what was the height at the crushed and non-crushed parts?
