Review on ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 3070 Ti AMP Holo 8GB GDDR6X 256-bit 19 Gbps PCIE 4.0 Gaming Graphics Card - HoloBlack Edition with IceStorm 2.0 Advanced Cooling and Spectra 2.0 RGB Lighting by Benny Suazo

I bought a Zotac RTX 2080 a few years ago and it was great so I chose it quite confidently. I was wrong! Performance is good and all, but it sounds like a mini plane taking off while you play. I can even hear it in my headphones mid-game. The problem becomes noticeable when the fans hit 70%, which is guaranteed to happen with any decent game. You can try driving it with Firestorm, a terrible app for Zotac's GPU that aims to hit 1900+ MHz at around 83 degrees Celsius or less while turning down the fan power. I'm still trying to figure it out myself and the app is completely useless because it didn't load profiles properly or forgot to save my settings. Under normal circumstances I would return the card immediately, but I'm just getting used to it. And what about the price? I understand that supply and demand come into play here, but at $999, it looks like Zotac is going to join the speculators.
