Easily hailed as the MVP of the RTX 3080 release, the ASUS TUF GAMING series provided people a touch of ASUS quality for a competitive price especially for regions that suffers heavy price gouging due to limited supplies. ASUS managed to keep their prices relatively low for the non-OC models of their 3080 TUF models but the OC models still rode on the premium bus with a higher price tag. Still, for a lot of people as long as its ASUS, its gotta be good so that was definitely a win for the company.
ASUS follows that up today with their TUF GAMING offering of the RTX 3070. Already a decent GPU, ASUS’ enthusiast features hope to make the card even better and with our previous review of the ASUS TUF GAMING RTX 3080 OC showing us that ASUS doesn’t want to see another Radeon cooler fiasco as they crank everything up to 11. In this review, we’ll take a closer look at the performance of this card and see if the ASUS TUF GAMING RTX 3070 OC builds the TUF GAMING GPU as a major contender in the enthusiast GPU league. Read on!
Again, no stability issues. Just sayin’.
