Best RTX 3070 Ti Cards for 1440p & 4K Gaming [Custom AIB Models]

If you are looking for a super-fast 1440p gaming card that is also capable of 4K gaming then the new RTX 3070 Ti is one of the better options available in the market. It is a relatively new member in the GeForce RTX 30 series and is placed above the RTX 3070 in the series. RTX 3070 Ti is slightly faster than the RTX 3070 Ti and is around as fast as the AMD Radeon RX 6800. When it comes to pricing then RTX 3070 Ti is costlier than RTX 3070 and RX 6800 which makes it slightly less favorable in terms of price to performance ratio. Taking the price factor aside, there is no denying the fact that RTX 3070 Ti offers great performance in games and comes with all the latest features that you can find in the top-end RTX 30 series cards.

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is built on the Ampere GPU architecture on the 8nm fabrication process. The card uses GA104 chip and comes with 6144 CUDA Cores, 48 RT Cores, and 192 Tensor Cores. The card is equipped with 12GB GDDR6X memory (256-bit) that runs at 19 Gbps delivering a bandwidth of 608 GB/s. The card supports advanced features such as Real-Time Ray Tracing, Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS 2.0), and PCI-Express 4.0. It is a VR-ready card and supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan graphics APIs. Other features include HDMI 2.1, AV1 decode, Microsoft DirectStorage API (to reduce game loading times), G-Sync/FreeSync, and Resizable BAR. The power consumption of the reference or Founders Edition RTX 3070 Ti model stands at 290W. Other than the Founders Edition model from Nvidia there are various RTX 3070 Ti models available from different AIB manufacturers or partners. So, here I am going to list the best RTX 3070 Ti cards based on different parameters that include overclocking, thermal performance, noise, etc.

Most Overclocked & Silent RTX 3070 Ti

MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Ti SUPRIM X 8G

[Dual BIOS, Solid Build Quality, High Manual Overclocking]

MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Ti SUPRIM X 8G is probably the most silent and most overclocked RTX 3070 Ti card. It is the flagship RTX 3070 Ti card from MSI and I think it is easily one of the best RTX 3070 Ti models around. The card excels in every department whether it is the performance, operating noise, and build quality. It has got GPU Boost Clock of 1860 MHz which is 90 MHz more than reference. You can increase GPU Boost Clock further to 1875 MHz by using the MSI Center Software which is an MSI graphics card overclocking and tweaking software. The card employs TRI FROZR 2S Thermal Design that consists of a large aluminum heatsink with seven nickel-plated flat copper heatpipes and a baseplate that covers both the GPU and VRAM. Moreover, a dedicated copper Heatpipe is also present for VRAM cooling to help the video memory cool faster. The heatsink is cooled by three TORX FAN 4.0 fans that feature an optimized blade design and come with dual ball bearings for a longer lifespan. The card runs very silent because of quiet running fans and an optimized heatsink design that uses deflectors and wave-curved 2.0 fin edges that disrupt unwanted airflow harmonics by providing focused and smoother airflow. The Zero Frozr tech provides semi-passive cooling in which the fans get turned off during low temperatures and they start automatically when the GPU load and temperature increases. The Dual BIOS switch allows you to select between the Silent and Gaming BIOS based on your requirement.

It is a monstrous card having a length of 335mm and requires three slots in your system for installation. The build quality of the card is great and it comes with a brushed metal shroud and backplate. The metal backplate is vented at the end for allowing airflow to pass and it also makes contact with some components using thermal pads to help in the cooling process. The metal backplate along with a rigid metal anti-bending strap provides the card rigidity and protection. Moreover, a graphics card support stand or GPU holder comes bundled with the card to eliminate the GPU sag issue. The card supports MSI Mystic Light Sync RGB lighting and the RGB lighting can be seen on the shroud and the backplate. The power consumption of the card is rated at 310W and it requires two 8-pin PCIe power connectors and an 850W PSU for its working. Display connectivity options include three DisplayPort 1.4a ports and one HDMI 2.1 port.
