ASUS RTX 3070, here are the new graphics cards Strix, TUF and Dual

Just four weeks after the launch of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3070, ASUS has released full specifications for the Strix, TUF and Dual series. RTX 3070 TUF and Strix are very similar in design compared to the Taiwanese company's RTX 3080 counterparts, as both have a very generously sized triple fan heatsink. In this case, given the 220W TDP of the RTX 3070, it is very likely that this choice will lead to low operating temperatures and a lower than average noise level.

TUF maintains its "real tough" look with a dark cover and backplate, but to give a touch of color, we find some RGB LEDs on the edge of the card. The Strix model presents a balance between silver and grayish black on the outer casing and adds RGB lighting to the three fans. The only noticeable difference between the 3070 and 3080 models are the power connectors, as there are "only" two eight-pin connectors on the RTX 3070.

The Dual RTX 3070 is ASUS 'budget offering , with a dual-fan heat sink and a more classic aesthetic, with a black cover and a hint of white in its design. The heatsink is quite large and takes up just over two PCIe expansion slots.

These will be the first Ampere GPUs with third-party dual-fan coolers, and as the RTX 3070 has a lower TDP of 100W compared to the RTX 3080, such a heatsink makes sense, especially for people who need a more compact graphics card for small chassis.

Recall that NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 will be launched next October 29. Hopefully, the recent postponement will give buyers a way to buy a card before it sells out in a very short time, as happened with the previous RTX 3080 and RTX 3090.

The Corsair RM750x PSU is an excellent 80 Plus Gold certified power supply, perfect if you are planning to upgrade to the RTX 30 series. You can find it on offer on Amazon.
