Summary
Especially at lower resolutions up to WQHD, the MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Gaming X is a nice and above all almost irresistibly whisper-quiet offer, because even if the performance gap to the GeForce RTX 3080 is usually quite significant, it’s still enough to easily achieve the desired playability despite the memory expansion of 8GB. The right stop of many quality controllers is also included here, as long as you don’t want to play full throttle in Ultra-HD. Especially when the games of the GeForce RTX 3070 and the new architecture are on the same level, the mail goes off significantly faster than with the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti from the same company.
For the best comparison, I have also included a similarly positioned MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio, since it is much faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition. This reduces the distance to the GeForce RTX 3070 considerably and also brings both cards together more clearly now, but despite all this the MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Gaming X Trio can always hold its ground, but more tightly than the two FE showed in the launch article. Good, quiet cooling and a higher power limit of optionally up to 250 watts make it possible.
You can certainly not only play with the MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Gaming X Trio, but also work quite well and efficiently and in the end even prefer it to the much more expensive RTX 3080, because it is much cheaper and above all is supposed to be better available.
Conclusion
MSI has done many things right and actually nothing wrong. In favor of the performance (up to 4 percent more in the games), one does without a bit of efficiency (about 20 watts more on average than the FE). But with a weight of 1.5 kilos the card is not a lightweight. You have to pay attention to this, as well as to the size, which means that the card does not fit in every case. It has immense cooling reserves for this, which it will never be able to exploit. For this alone, there is extra praise. The price of 559 Euro as UVP with included VAT. is interesting and is also well below what a (possibly faster) Radeon RX 6800 in the reference design should or could cost.
So if you have between 500 and 600 Euros left here and now, and you’re not really looking at the higher resolutions and can cope with the memory expansion of 8 GB, you could be quite happy. Surely this card doesn’t want to be able to do more than that. She doesn’t have to, actually. The award is mainly given for the low operating noise and the targeted price as an RRP, including the good performance in Full-HD and UHD.
