Also, note that the GTX 1070 is getting old and can be a bit of a curmudgeon, and the fans appear to be working extra hard to keep it running at around 75C. It settled in at about 1600 RPM when overclocked, compared to 1300 RPM at stock. Here you can better see the results of our fan speed customization with the overclocked 3070. Needless to say, the fans are doing an excellent job of cooling without making a lot of noise. ![]() After running Metro for 15 minutes, the 3070 FE noise levels were barely above that - 46.8 dB. At idle, from that distance, our PC's noise floor is 46.0 dB (or 34 dB from where my head is relative to the case on the floor). We also measured noise levels of the RTX 3070, from a distance of 15cm. We'll look at power, GPU clocks, temperatures, and fan speeds. We also use FurMark running at 1600x900 in a window using the stress test mode. ![]() At stock, the GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition should be within spec, but overclocking might have some oddities to investigate further.įor these tests, we run Metro Exodus at 1440p ultra without ray tracing or DLSS. Add in 75W from the PCIe slot, and it's basically right at the limit - the 2070 Super and 2080 both had an 8-pin plus 6-pin PEG configuration. It's a bit surprising that Nvidia only uses a single 8-pin PEG connector to feed the 12-pin connector, though, since the 8-pin is rated for 150W.
