NVIDIA RTX 3070 Founders Edition Unboxing and Review

Benchmarks

Graphics Card Testing Methodology:
There are many ways to benchmark GPUs (graphics cards). With the benchmarks we use, our goal is to do two things: first to show the performance of the card being reviewed and second to make them easy to replicate. No systems are the same no matter how hard you try. There will always be a variance from system to system. What we are trying to present is information that you can use to hopefully get similar results to compare your current graphic card against.

All benchmarks will be running in 1080p resolution or higher where possible. Gaming benchmarks are being done with the Highest In-Game Preset.

Video Drivers supplied by NVIDIA were used during the testing of all video cards. An Intel i9-9900K with 32GB of Ram was used as the base PC for all testing done.

Synthetic Tests

3DMark is the standard that everyone uses when comparing your hardware to others. The free version offers a few ways to test your system. We like to use those benchmarks as well so you can see how your hardware does against what we are reviewing.

Superposition is another free benchmark that we like to use as it can put stress on your system in a few different ways and is very easy to.
