I was lucky enough to finally score one after 6 months of trying. Such a great card, fantastic performance. Card runs cool around 60 degrees under load. Most game run at 100+ FPS at 1440p high/ultra settings. DLSS + RTX performance is nuts. Anyways, satisfied with my purchase. Big thumbs up!

3070 is amazing if you can secure one at MSRP

Got lucky and was able to order it earlier this week when Best Buy dropped a lot of 3000 series cards. Just picked it up today a day earlier than expected. Still can't believe I actually got it.
The card is great and is a huge step up from my gtx 1060 6gb from four years ago. Was definitely worth the price close to MSRP at $560, don't bother with scalpers. Good luck to anyone trying to get one. Heard the tariffs may increase GPU prices soon, hopefully that isn't the case.
Note that the version I got has the red edge on the end of the card. However since my case is the Meshify C, the card end isn't as noticeable when looking at it due to the viewing angle and the tempered glass panel has a bit of a dark tint.
As for the model number that everyone's been wondering about, it's confirmed correct to be 08G-P5-3755-KB on the box. Best buy probably changes the number to not have to price match other competitors. But the card is still legit as an EVGA 3070 XC3 Ultra. And with EVGA's good reputation, I'm happy if I ever have to deal with them in the future.

I was lucky enough to get one of these when BB restocked. I would highly recommend tuning into either a gpu restock stream on YouTube or a dedicated gpu discord server since they provide real time stock updates. As for the graphics card, I am extremely happy with it's performance. Temps are nice and cool and it runs games very well. I would also recommend purchasing a support stand since the card does sag a little due to its size.**NOTE: The default setting for the fans on this card is that they will not turn on until a certain temp is reached. This can be changed by downloading EVGA Precision X1 from either steam or evgas website and setting your preferred fan curve. This program also allows you to edit the LED logo color as well.

Used to own a Vega 64 and wanted to go back to team green for a refresh. First, thank you Best Buy in your attempts to combat scalpers. This was far harder to secure then it'd imagine.
This card is a great no frills, better then average 3070. Gaming at 1440p I never hear this card ramp up as much as my old Vega card. Drivers and game compatibility was simple plug in play. GeForce installed in the background and now gives me a smaller presentation to update drivers. Rgb is very minimal but with so much in my system, that's much appreciated. Packing within the card was very minimal to my surprise. Opting for a plastic shell instead of a usual anti static bag, the only thing included was a few inserts. No decals or screws.

This card has the ability to run the 4k Furmark benchmark at about 74 FPS. My temps reached about 62° C. I received the version of this card with the red accent, I have seen other reviewers say they got the black accent card- which I find interesting. Snagged this before the MSRP increased. At the time of purchase the MSRP was $559.99. Also, Best Buy is probably your best bet at getting a new 30 series card.

Bought this during the early Feb '21 drop and have been running for over a month without an issue. It may be a bit overpowered for 1080p, but was going for 144Hz refresh gaming. Runs cool and quiet for most games, but can hear the fans when loaded to the max. It's a well built card that should last a long time. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing 3070 with great thermals

This is one of the best reasonably priced high quality 3070 cards out there. Its perfect for those wanting to do 1440p gaming with a high refresh rate (144hz or higher), which I honestly prefer over 4k @60hz. That said, this is still a really good entry level 4k gaming card if you decide to go that route instead.
Both the Ray Tracing & the DLSS technology are incredible & noticeably improved over the last gen cards, though you do take a performance hit with RT turned on.
The thermals on air are great as its using the same cooler as their 3080 cards along with a full metal backplate. The fans aren't overly loud either. The EVGA X1 software is great for overclocking, adjusting the fan curves, & adjusting the argb on the evga logo. The clock speeds it ships with are also really nice for those not wanting to overclock the card.
This is a large card, so make sure you have enough room to fit it in your case (if not consider the 3060 ti)

Used in a ghost S1, one of the only 3000 series cards which fits in this case, runs very cool undervolted and gets great frames at 1440p.
Kind of handicapped by only having 8gb of vram, but otherwise a great card for 1440p gaming. However one of the biggest features (RT & DLSS) requires me to turn down settings in games today to not bottleneck.
If you don't care about Ray Tracing get the 6800 or 6800xt with twice the memory, similar performance, and a similar price, to be relevant for playing games at high settings for much longer.
For example, Control at 1440p with high settings and RT enabled runs into fps drops and slowly loading textures due to the 8gb not being enough.

I've been running it hard full graphics on several games and doing some bit mining too. Been very happy with this 3070 but no way could I give it 5 stars as it is still brand new. Easy install and easy overclock. Runs quiet even at 100% and steady no higher than 65 degrees. So it is challenging to not give it 5 stars but endurance is as important as the great eye candy. I will update this next year 2022.
I think I got a great buy so far.

Very good cooling from this card, with custom fan curves in Precision X1, I was able to get <55C in high settings Warzone with about 60% fan speed. I haven't overclocked yet, but this card definitely has a lot of thermal headroom to do so. Fans are fairly quiet, but the card is quite long for some smaller cases.

This EVGA XC3 Ultra RTX-3070 performs as expected, which is excellent. I managed to pick this at my local Best Buy up after ordering online and everything went as planned. This replaced an aging GTX-1070 in my i7-7700-K based system. An upgrade to the processor/mobo will likely happen down the road (PCIe 4.0!).
For now this graphics card is making my Omen 27 shine.

Scored one of these during the latest BB drop on 2/25. Amazing card. This thing is huge! Barely fits in my Storm Scout 2 case. Runs everything I can throw at it without breaking a sweat. Cyberpunk 2077 at 60fps on Ultra is a thing to see. Follow Falcodrin on Twitch and be patient. You'll eventually get one.

THE BEST DUAL SLOT 3070

This is the best 3070 you can get if you have fears of running a triple wide card such as the FTW3 version. This card runs approximately 10 degrees hotter than my FTW3 version of the 3070 but that card is monstrous compared to this one... I included a picture with both cards installed in one system (NZXT H510 Elite Chassis) so that you can visually see the size of the two 3070 Ultras by EVGA(the best and most honest AIB in the Industry). Hope this info helps with your build.
