What a Card

So this card replaced a Gigabyte AORUS 3070 8GB Master, which was starting to chug a little in the latest titles. The difference is day and night.
For gaming at 1440p at this price, it is unbeatable. All AAA titles running fully maxed at between 70+ frames to 120+ Most at 120+.
The card is quiet and runs at between 60 - 65c under load.
It truly make me look at the prices of the RTX 4070 Ti and the RTX 4070 Super and question what you get for the £100's more that you pay.
In short, a great purchase - Buy one! :-)
Best upgrade from 3000 Series

I watched tons of reviews on YT before I bought that card and none of them reflect the pure performance of this card. I upgraded my PC from RTX 3060 to be able to use DLSS 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 Overdrive and path tracing feature. Lads. I don't know where these undermining reviews come from because this card is flying! For that price, you get a monster card! The mentioned Cyberpunk is just amazing! All settings maxed out, path tracing on, 80-90fps in 1080p. All ultra, path tracing on in 1440p runs in 60-65fps. Battlefield runs in 120 - 140 fps full-on settings. Plus, what's great, you need only one 8-pin PSU cable. No necessary PSU replacement. Plug and play. Can't recommend enough!!
Solidly built, Quiet & cool... No Coil whine.

This Gigabyte WindForce OC 4070 is a great choice especially at the launch price as it has zero coil whine, stays cool and gives well over 120fps on ultra settings in my games at 1440p. Gets up to 180fps on ACC on epic if your interested. As fast or faster that the founders edition according to reviews and has a metal backing plate. Hope you can get yours at MSRP or lower as they seem to have increased the price here.
