  August 17, 2024, and you are still selling it for over 900 euros.
  What logic is that? As a collectible piece? Which one? The specific one that is a heater? Aren't you ashamed!

  Implementation: You consider it one of the top 8 3070 Ti, not that it is the best option. Good in performance!
  Clearly superior to the corresponding Eagle from Gigabyte.

  Material quality
  Plates: Flawless aluminum.
  Aesthetics: Very beautiful
  Internal cables - soldering, heatsink - OK
  Fans: Quite mediocre and fairly noisy
  Factory thermal pads and paste: Not quality at all
  Ease of opening it: Yes - very easy.

  Performance:
  1080p: More than sufficient.
  Strong up to 2K in AAA games - with some compromises in game settings, it plays very comfortably referring to 1440p (3440x1440p - I use it on a 34-inch monitor)
  In 4K you can reach up to 75 fps depending on the game. It is good either in 2K or 4K to change some settings in the NVIDIA control panel... up to that.
  Forget about OC. It will give you at best 3fps and you will slowly kill it even with a safe OC.
  Therefore, there is no reason for OC, especially on the memory.
  On the contrary, most people underclock it.

  Size: Quite large but fits in a Midi Tower depending on which one you choose.
  Be careful with the dimensions of your case before buying a GPU over 30cm, like this specific one.
  Check if it fits.
  Have good airflow in your case especially if you plan to buy this one.
  The most ideal is to have front fans in your case to push the warm air from the card directly to the back fan of the case.

  Power Supply: Works flawlessly without any issues and with a quality 650w power supply, although I am very fine with a 5800X with a TDP of 120W (UnderVolt) even though they recommend 750W - I have a Corsair RMx 650W Gold/Full Modular 2018 series.
  It can be connected with a splitter x2 8pin to 1. Preferably use 2 single 8pin to connect it - not that it will lower its temperatures.
  The stock Power Limit reaches 325W.

  Temperatures: High up to 78C for fun as long as it is new and playing demanding games.
  The corresponding simple 3080 runs lower by up to -9C.
  It can easily reach 88C after 2 years of frequent use
  Fans: They open and operate quite high as soon as it reaches 74C and at many RPMs.
  Temp limit at 103C.

  Noise: It is not one of the quietest. The type of fans it uses is not the best in performance and noise. Nothing like the simple 3070. As soon as the fans open at 75%, the noise for some will be annoying if they have the PC close and on a desk wanting a quiet build.

  DUAL Bios - Silent Mode vs OC: there is a button to change the mode. You will not see a difference in the fans when Silent is selected, having almost the same noise and losing performance. This is very wrong. A new BIOS needs to be released......... as if Gigabyte will care about this series and this specific one anymore.
  So the default setting as it comes OC is the only way. In idle temperatures in both modes, it reaches 32c-36c.

  Appearance: Discreet RGB logo from Gigabyte without too many lights and nonsense. Even if you don’t have a Gigabyte motherboard, you can install RGB Fusion (if it works since it’s Gigabyte) alongside other RGB management programs from other brands to change the colors.

  Overclocking: Since it is an OC version, you can push it even further through NVIDIA Experiment or MSI Afterburner, giving SAFE up to +99mhz in Core clock boost and 200mhz in Memory Clock. But as I wrote earlier, this specific one is NOT for OC. You won't gain anything but will lose over time. Especially, do not touch the voltage under any circumstances, and the Memory clock is completely unnecessary.

  Update 12.05.2023 After 2 years of use, it reached almost 88c in all games at a room temperature of 28C and an internal case temperature of 30C. The pads were opened and changed, and new paste was applied - cleaning of fans and coolers. All the factory pads were melted. Of very poor quality pads. There was hardly any paste left. What remained were some dry pieces that had become plasticized.

  For me, it is a big NO for this implementation. Better to go for another 3070 Ti like MSI, ASUS, Sapphire in that order.

  Warranty: Big point, replacement if needed. Immediate communication with the supplier (depending on the store). I am not a fan of Gigabyte for motherboards and especially for graphics cards. I prefer MSI/ASUS. If you find it at a price close to others, do not choose it. The 3070 Ti MSI Gaming X TRIO - ASUS ROG STRIX or even Sapphire or PowerColor is an amazing option!!!! Listen to me, I have no reason to distort the truth.

  I have spent a lot of time getting it to stock at desired temperatures below 78C. Read foreign, serious forums, and you will understand. UnderVolting is the only way, and never DIY copper plates on the memory with paste (very wrong). Many have burned if a piece of copper comes off the chip even from a single move of the case. Nothing to do with Aorus, of course.

  Even at 1080p, it raises temperatures. Look at those who have it and are facing issues to keep the power limit at 60%.

  It really exhausted me!

  I have been the owner of this specific card for almost a month and I am very satisfied with the purchase. It should be noted that the card is mainly used for gaming (2k | 164Hz | Ryzen 7 5800X) and as far as performance is concerned, I really have nothing negative to say, it plays everything perfectly. Its external appearance is nothing crazy, it has an RGB LED logo, but you should definitely pay attention to its size, you will need a large case because in my case with a Deepcool Matrexx 55 and an NZXT Kraken X62, the card fits exactly. I definitely recommend buying it, but I'm not sure if it's worth the extra money compared to a 3070.

  I got the card a few days ago and I have to say that I am very satisfied. The card may be large and heavy, but it has incredible performance in games. The only downside is that it reaches somewhat high temperatures if you don't download the MSI Afterburner to keep the fans running all the time.

  It is good. In full load, temperatures do not exceed 54c.
  Call of Duty Warzone, everything at full settings, 1440p, 120-144 fps.
  EDIT: You need to download the overclock software for the graphics card to activate the fans, otherwise they are off until the card reaches 60 degrees. In other words, the fans only open and work at low speeds when playing games, and temperatures rise to 70+. Without reason, you will have an average of 50+ degrees on the card when not playing games because the fans will be deactivated.

  I bought it at the price of 950 euros, as I believe that any price beyond that is considered excessive for a graphics card. So far, I am completely satisfied playing games like PUBG and World of Warcraft, and multitasking at the same time without any issues. Its temperatures are low and the usage does not exceed 13%. Please note that it has a cap at 75 fps, which is likely to be fixed, but personally, I don't care as long as it works perfectly. Just consider the case before getting it, as it is quite bulky.

  Coming from an RX 580 8GB, I was left speechless. Fully satisfied with the card, even though it cost me a kidney, I can finally play my competitive FPS games at 2K with 144fps. However, if I had been patient, I would have gotten the 3080. As for temperatures, I have never seen it go above 75°, with an average of 68°, but I have excellent airflow (7 fans) and I always have the air conditioning on
