Monster dual fan 4070 that rivals 3 fan cards

I have the Asus Dual 4070 OC coupled with an i7-12700F which has created a VERY formidable gaming machine. I upgraded from a Asus phoenix 3060 oc single fan to The Asus dual 4070 oc. I can confirm that this dual fan card has no cooling issues in a 4000D airflow case. This card maintains temps under load that rival all the other 3 fan 4070s on the market. The cooling outperforms the FE model. It stays far cooler than the little 3060 I had. The silent mode is nice when the 4070 temp is below 55°C the fans wont even run. I habe never seen the average temp over 65°C the Vram seems to get hottest on the asus dual 4070 but never too hot, highest I've seen is 72°C. Some people have complained about coil whine, my specific card is barely heard when your ear is up to a case vent let alone sitting 2-3 feet away from it, and/or having headphones on. I play games at 1080p with MAX settings currently. I know the 4070 can be considered overkill for this application, but I still found myself turning down settings at 1080p on a 3060. I primarily wanted a card that would age well playing newer games at 1080p with higher frame rates. The Asus dual 4070 oc allows me to do just that, mine boost clocks far beyond the 2530mhz that it guarantees while sipping less than 200w. I have a 750w power supply which is more than enough for this CPU and GPU combo. The added ray tracing performance is a huge plus. Also, I can always move up to 1440p monitor whenever.
The Asus Dual 4070 oc only needs a single 8 pin pcie, which allows for more visual customization with cable extensions over using the 12vhighpower adapter that is required for the FE model. I have it coupled with
The Appearance of this card is very appealing to me. I spent a lot of time just admiring the craftsmanship of the asus dual 4070. Though it may initially look simplistic, upon further viewing in person, the quality of materials alone speaks for itself. Sure, the fan shroud is plastic but that is most 4070 cards and it does not hurt the esthetic at all. The metal backplate looks great and helps resist sag as this dual fan card still manages to be about 1/2 in longer than the width of an ATX motherboard. It is quite thicc being roughly a 2.5 slot card. The size overall is pleasing. The fully encompassed cooling fins make this 4070 look sleek and refined. Personally, the pass-through section of the cooler is one of the most pleasing features both functionally and visually.
The ONLY reason I don't give this card 5 stars is for the same reason i wouldn't give any 4070 5 stars. That reason is the price. $600 for this is still better than buying a used 3080 for more. Not to mention, it is FAR more affordable than the 4090 and 4080. The 4070 ti does not seem to give enough performance gain to justify the extra $200-$250. The 4060 and 4060 ti didn't offer enough performance gain over my previous 3060. So, the 4070 made the most sense in my situation. I was still able to sell the 3060 for $200 which made my cost more like $400 to upgrade. Which I decided to be acceptable since I am unsure how supply will hold out. The Asus dual 4070 oc seems relatively readily available and you are not taking any sort of performance hit with this card compared to 3 fan 4070s.

Excellent Card for 1080P Gaming

Earlier this year I found myself unexpectedly needing a new video card. So, I was pleasantly surprised to see NVIDIA cards at Best Buy returning to MSRP prices. Of course, that may have to do with the release of the Super series and a need to clear old inventory, but who knows. I saw a price decrease on this ASUS 4070, and I jumped on it. So far, I have been pleased with the purchase.
The card is much more power efficient than my old Radeon card.
Much to my surprise, the video card is quiet. I actually expected the two-fan setup to be louder. NVIDIA has better drivers than AMD. NVIDIA DLSS is better than AMD’s FSR. I get much better frame rates than I did with my 6750xt. The card is also much quieter and runs cooler.
Over the last two months, I have put the card through the paces on a 1080P high frame rate monitor. With settings nearly or close to maxed out, I got good, stable performance on everything in my library. Cyber Punk 2077 and Hogwarts Legacy played well. I really appreciated the FPS, the stable temps, and the quiet fan operation. The card only needs one power connection. I have attached some screenshots from a few games so you can see some of the reported stats on temps and power consumption. I have never seen temps get above 59C.
Conclusion, I think this is a good pick-up. I thought the cost savings and availability were worth the trade off of 10% better performance and a few new features of the TI or Super card.
4.5/5 Recommended.
* About my system, I am currently sporting an Intel i7 12700k processor, my motherboard is an ASUS TUF-Gaming Z690 Plus, I have 32GB of Vengeance DDR5 RAM (purchased from Best Buy), WD Black NVME, Samsung 980 pro NVME, and a standard Samsung SSD (also from Best Buy), in a Corsair 4000D case, and a Corsair 750W PSU (both also from Best Buy).

WONDERFUL GRAPHICS CARD

the graphics card is a very solid purchase i made and i love it deeply. If you pair it with a good CPU this thing is wonderful for the price and its performance. I have had it for almost a month so far and no issues with any drivers or anything. The graphics card runs very quietly and the software is very minimalistic so nothing too confusing. I recommend this product any day of the week as long the price stays around $520-$580. It was also packaged very well and secured, it would not budge out of the packaging and overall it was great. This card is one of their cheaper cards for a 4070 and i think it’s wonderful. When you first download windows it either downloads the software for the gpu where it overlocks it since this is a OC edition. If it does not automatically install which some people it may or may not, simply type into the search browser, “ASUS 4070 OC edition software.” it should pop up then and hit download and set up. This also comes with 12gb vram which is wonderful for those high intensity graphic games like Forza, Call of Duty Warzone, and Cyberpunk. This card is also recommended for 1440p and can support 4k in some games as well. I personally use a 1080p one because i havnt upgraded just yet but i will soon. 10/10 graphics card. Thank you NVIDIA! I love it!!

Upgraded from RTX 3060 ti and it’s a huge leap of performance with an impressive power efficiency. I am playing triple A games with no problem at all. I can play Apex Legends with 1440p high settings and ultra high on my 1080p gaming monitors. I would 100% recommend this gpu to those who does not want to upgrade they’re psu with 550 to 600 watts.

Great all around graphics card, dominates any game at 1080p, can easily play games at 1440p and can dip its toes in the water when it comes to 4k gaming. My only issue is the price relative to how much Vram you get, 12gb isn’t terrible but - at this price point - 16gb isn’t a hard ask.

It's a really good card and kind of the best price to performance package for myself and I couldn't be happier. For reference, I play ultra-wide 1440p (3440x1440). Think of it as a very power-efficient 3080 with the 40 series feature set. That being said, I can't personally recommend frame-gen due to how slurry it feels with the massive increase in latency. The only reason I took a star is due to its price. It retails for $600 when it should ideally be $500. Get it when it's offered with a game that you intend on buying anyways. I bought mine with the Alan Wake 2 promotion so the card effectively cost me $530. As for which SKU you should get is really up to you. The 4070 is pretty efficient so going with a small or cheaper quality card/cooler won't hinder you much. I still recommend doing research on your own of course, but most are good. I chose the Dual OC since it runs quietly, matches my build, high-quality cooler, and has a little thermal overhead.

Two fans, stays cool! Pretty chonky, wish it had higher build quality but I just put it in a ITX pc and it works great. IMO the 4070 and 4090 GPUs are worth the buy, I chose 4070 for this build to be power efficient and with frame generation and DLSS it has no issues running games, with a 4090 in my gaming system at home. If your games you want to play dont use DLSS or Frame Generation, then 4000 series GPUs arent worth. Go for an AMD GPU honestly; they have better value and can out perform Nvidia in games without those features.

Very lightweight card. Fans under load are pretty quiet. Small footprint and only requires a single 8-pin connector. Without touching the stock fan profile the GPU temp hovers around 61-63c under load, and the hotspot temp around 70-72c. It uses the same pcb as the ASUS TUF 4070, except the TUF has 10 power phases and this one has 8. The fans are ball bearings so they should last.
My particular card has a decent amount of coil whine under load. I can hear it with the case closed and under my desk. I've tried two different power supplies both of which were Seasonic make with a platinum and gold efficiency of 1000w, and it didn't make a difference in the buzzing. So keep that in mind if that sort of thing bothers you. YMMV.

Great card. Reasonably high VRAM at 12GB. The card is smaller, cooler, and quieter than most of the more expensive video cards in recent years. I am able to run this on my 650W power supply without any issues.

Aurora R7 GPU Upgrade - Success!

The card stays super cool and delivers what it claims to! I put it in an Alienware Aurora R7 (opposed to what the question and answer section says) and it works just fine! I wish I could upgrade my processor, but that will come down the road whenever I choose to build a new PC. I play games on my PC with the Aurora's door open (for better cooling due to the poor design), but it can definitely fit in a closed case. If you're like me and have a processor that leaves something to be desired, play games that aren't CPU-intensive (like Resident Evil 2, 3, 7, 8, or games like Detroit: Become Human). It's a fantastic upgrade and worth the money! It really gives the 3080 competition - DLSS 3.0 is fantastic.

Can handle most things at max settings for 1440p with Quality DLSS or Native. Things it can't are still playable, but you can feel a little chug. Great temps and not too loud, even with more aggressive fan settings. Don't regret it, but splurging on a TI or 4080 would've smoothed out the rougher spots.

This is a very impressive graphic card! Definitely the best I've owned as I upgraded from a RTX 2070 Super to this one. It is even more quiet than I expected and the heat management is decent with the two cooling fans. I run all my games at near maximum settings and it handles them quite well.

Great video card! Runs my dual 4K monitors flawlessly and every game I have on max settings. Card runs extremely cool even during gaming. My only issue is no fault of this card, I bought this dual fan card because I was worried a three fan wouldn’t fit my case and it just looks tiny in my case. LOL

+ great performance for its size and power draw
+ stable 100-300fps at 1440p at max settings (w/o RTX) in popular games
+ more modern features supported that can be useful for a variety of uses
- my unit has some coil whine but headphones block it out for the most part
- generational improvement is not as substantial as it should have been
Way better than the 1650 super I was using.
Also nice that it doesn’t require the special connector that the higher tier cards have.

This gpu is an excellent buy, really didn't think I could push this two fan card as far as I did. This paired with a ryzen 7 5800x and 64 gb of ddr4 ram I don't have an issue running anything I've wanted.
