. The TUF GAMING Ge Force RTX 3070 has been stripped down & built back up to provide more robust power & cooling. An all-metal shroud houses three powerful axial-tech fans that utilize durable dual ball fan bearings. Fan rotation has been optimized for reduced turbulence & a stop mode brings all three fans to a halt at low temps. Beneath a thick heatsink keeps thermals under tight control. Additional features including TUF components Auto-Extreme Technology & a backplate vent make the TUF a proper powerhouse. For builders looking for a new old faithful this card has your back Key Product Info. 2nd Generation RT Cores experience 2x the throughput of 1st gen RT Cores plus concurrent RT & shading for a whole new level of ray tracing performance 3rd Generation Tensor Cores get up to 2x the throughput with structural sparsity & advanced AI algorithms such as DLSSThis Ge Force RTX 3070 graphics card with LHR (lite hash rate) delivers 25 MH/s ETH hash rate Axial-tech fan design has been newly tuned with a reversed central fan direction for less turbulence Dual ball fan bearings can last up to twice as long as sleeve bearing designs Military-grade capacitors & other TUF components enhance durability & performance Product Features Axial-tech upgrades TUF Gaming cards leverage ASUS's tried-&-true Axial-tech fan design with three fans working in tandem to satisfy the thermal demands of NVIDIA's high-octane design. The fans rely on dual ball fan bearings to ensure consistent performance & increased longevity compared to sleeve bearings & other bearing types. Max Contact technology To get heat up off the die & into the heatsink array ASUS has engaged Max Contact technology to polish the surface of the heat spreader & improve smoothness at the microscopic level. The extra flatness allows for better contact with the die for enhanced thermal transfer. 2.7-slot design The heat spreader draws heat up into heatpipes that carry it through a fin stack that fills most of the card's large 2.7-slot footprint. TUF components Components are selected for TUF Gaming graphics cards based on their durability & performance. In addition to top-shelf chokes & MOSFETs capacitors that meet military-grade certification make the TUF stand tall amongst the competition. The components are soldered to the PCB using the advanced Auto-Extreme automated manufacturing process. Smooth joints on the rear of the PCB & the elimination of human errors ensure each graphics card meets ASUS's rigorous specifications. Finally to ensure flawless performance when it counts the cards are subjected to a grueling 144-hour validation trial. It's cooler out back The underside of the card reveals a host of improvements. Most of the rear is swathed in a protective metal backplate that prominently features a wide vent. The vent allows hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being recycled back into the GPU cooler. Stainless steel is used for the I/O bracket to protect ports & provide a more secure mount. Functional front The top-side RGB element can be customized to display a range of aesthetic & functional effects & also synced with other ASUS components to enable uniform lighting. To fulfill the power demands of the Ge Force RTX 3070 two 8-pin connectors are present along with onboard LEDs that light up if PSU PCIe power connectors are not plugged in correctly.
