In this Graphics card, Axial-tech Fan Design has been newly tuned with a reversed central fan direction for less turbulence. The TUF Gaming cards leverage tried-and-true Axial-tech fan design, with three fans working in tandem to satisfy the thermal demands of NVIDIA's new high-octane design. In this graphics card, the fans rely on dual ball fan bearings to ensure consistent performance and increased longevity compared to sleeve bearings and other bearing types. To get heat up off the die and into the heatsink array, MaxContact technology spreader and improve and polish the surface of the heat smoothness at the microscopic level. The extra flatness allows for better contact with the die for enhanced thermal transfer. The heat spreader draws heat up into heatpipes that carry it through a fin stack that fills most of the card's large, 2.7-slot footprint. In this graphics card, Components are selected for TUF Gaming based on their durability and performance. In addition to top-shelf chokes and MOSFETs, capacitors that meet military-grade certification make the TUF stand tall amongst the competition. Here, components are soldered to the PCB using our advanced Auto-Extreme automated manufacturing process. Smooth joints on the rear of the PCB and the elimination of human errors ensure each graphics card meets our rigorous specifications. Finally, to ensure flawless performance when it counts, the cards are subjected to a grueling 144-hour validation trial. An all-aluminum shroud adds robust protection to TUF Gaming graphics cards and a no-nonsense industrial design and grayscale colorway fits into any build with ease. Most of the rear is swathed in a protective metal backplate that prominently features a wide vent. The underside of the card reveals a host of improvements. The vent also allows hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being recycled back into the GPU cooler. Here, Stainless steel is used for the I/O bracket to protect ports and provide a more secure mount. A conveniently placed Dual Bios switch allows customization of the card's default performance profile without software. In this graphics card, the top-side RGB element can be customized to display a range of aesthetic and functional effects and also synced with other ASUS components to enable uniform lighting. To fulfill the power demands of the GeForce RTX 3070, two 8-pin connectors are present, along with onboard LEDs that light up if PSU PCIe power connectors are not plugged in correctly.
The ASUS GPU Tweak II provides intuitive performance tweaking, thermal controls, and system monitoring, utility takes graphics card tuning to the next level. It allows you to tweak critical parameters including GPU core clocks, memory frequency, and voltage settings, with the option to monitor everything in real-time through a customizable on-screen display. Here, Advanced fan control also included along with many more features to help you get the most out of your graphics card. This latest Asus TUF Gaming RTX 3070 OC Edition 8GB GDDR6 Graphics Card has 02 years warranty.
