Asus GeForce RTX 3070 Turbo 8GB Blower

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3070 is their third consumer graphics card based on the Ampere architecture, which in turn is the second generation of NVIDIA GPUs to offer hardware raytracing and other advanced features under their RTX branding. The performance increase this video card brings varies depending on workflow, with the biggest improvements coming in areas like 3D rendering, video editing, and game engines. In general, though, it should match or beat the performance of the older RTX 2080 Ti card in most applications.

This variant from Asus uses a single-fan, blower-style cooler. That means most of the heat generated by the card is exhausted out the back of the system, making this design ideal for multi-GPU configurations. In trade it will make a lot more noise under load, since the one fan has to run at much higher RPMs in order to dissipate the same amount of heat as the two or three fans on other variants.

Finally, in regards to connectivity, this card has one HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4a plugs supporting a total of up to four displays at a maximum resolution of 7680x4320 (8K).
