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 Homer Reed

Decent overpriced card

Games seem to be fine with this card so far. FPS from 80 to 100 in a Warzone game. I overclocked a bit and the max temp is around 76 (72 without overclocking). I went with the Zotac based on reviews and the triple fans are pretty noisy under load as expected, but they do the job. They only turn on when gaming and my headset mostly blocks them. Zotac's software is clunky and finicky, but seems to handle overclocking well. This is the only way to control the lights, so syncing with the mobo is not possible. I think the light is powered from the PCI connection. Had to repeatedly reset the light in the software, but the colors seem to match up pretty well (otherwise the red is the same). I've heard that the temps are better with the Zotac software and not with Msi Afterburner, but haven't tested this. Basically, I'm happy with the card. The price was unrealistic - I had a moment of weakness and overpaid - I would estimate around $600. (I had a brand new build that ran my old 3GB 1060 for six months). Value for money - 1 star.
