To get an idea of ​​Nvidia’s new GPU family, we got ourselves a representative of the GeForce RTX 3070 (RRP: 500 Euro), RTX 3080 (RRP: 700 Euro) and RTX 3090 (RRP: 1500 Euro). The TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3070 OC comes from Asus, which with its three fans and the long cooler is an impressive one Makes an impression. A slide switch can be used to switch between quiet operation in quiet mode or more cooling and a bit more 3D power in performance mode.

MSI controlled the factory-overclocked GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio 10 G at, a three- Slot Trumm with three eight-pin PCIe connections. The GeForce RTX 3090 is represented by Nvidia’s in-house Founders Edition, which we bought in stores. It also occupies three full PCIe expansion slots. Further features are the twelve-pin power connection, which Nvidia wants to replace the PCIe power plug (an adapter for two eight-pin plugs is included), and the cooling system with two fans. One of them blows onto the card from above, the other conveys the cooling air from below through the open heat sink towards the CPU.

For AMD a Radeon RX 5700 XT from Sapphire, which plays a good one and a half price and performance classes lower. The Radeon RX 6800 reached us too late for this article.
