ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 3070 Twin Edge Graphics Card Review

Today we finally have a GeForce RTX 3000 series graphics card in our hands, and this one is from ZOTAC. Yes, we’ll be taking a look at their GeForce RTX 3070 Twin Edge Graphics Card. Big thanks to Zotac for providing the review sample! So, I feel pretty lucky to have this card in hand today. We all know the frustration of trying to find any of 3000 series cards for sale. Ya, I’m not paying double the MSRP for anything. So, I guess I can wait a little longer for the cards to come back in stock. It is still difficult to know that you could of got one but didn’t. The performance gains you get with the 3000 Series cards is something I have been waiting to see for a while.

When the lowest tier (3070) out performs the flagship (2080Ti) I literally jumped for joy. I like simple, clear cut versions. In my opinion all 3000 cards should out perform all 2000 series cards, so on and so forth. For a while now we have had so many different iterations of the graphics series it can be cumbersome to follow. Anyways I am glad to see that even the 3070 is considered better than the 2080Ti! The Zotac 3070 Twin Edge is one of the most unique cards at the time of this review. This is the smallest design of the 3070. The card is only 9.1″x5.6″ and only takes up 2 slots. The width of the card is a little larger than the longer versions but not by much. The card is a good inch taller than the I/O bracket. With that being said this card would be a perfect fit for the SFF cases. This card features the Icestorm cooling solution, an active fan stop, metal backplate, and the Zotac logo is lit up “white” on the side. Lets get with the good stuff and dig into this review!
