NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 - Visual Inspection & Beauty Gallery
The presentation has been key for NVIDIA since the 700 series when it comes to their Founders Edition and the GeForce RTX 3070 is no different. Carrying over the design cues in the packaging of the previous 30 Series launches we are greeted by the GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition laying down, ready to be moved to your system.
The card itself is very similar is size and design to the last generation RTX 2070 but with the flow-through cooler heatsink and fans of this generation. Also, the card doesn't light up, I'm not happy about that, it really should light up.
The outward-facing side of the RTX 3070 carries the design signatures of the bigger GA102 based Ampere cards, even holding on to the 12-pin cable despite it only having a single 8-pin on the adapter. Again, the GeForce RTX logo does not light up on the GeForce RTX 3070.
It's easy to see that the open section of the heatsink is reinforced with small pipes throughout in addition to the heatpipes coming from the main GPU section of the card. The heatsink is dense, yet sparse enough to allow for as little noise as possible.
I did attempt to dismantle the card and take a look at the board but after breaking a piece of the retention clip for the rear fan ribbon cable (look closely and you see the notch I broke) I gave up and figured I'd leave this endeavor to the guys over at Gamers Nexus to tear apart. Do your thing Steve, do your thing. But I did at least want to share a look at the back of the PCB and how the card looks with the backplate removed.
