MSI GeForce RTX 3070 VENTUS 3X PLUS 8G OC LHR

One of the highest performing single-socket gaming graphics cards based on the Nvidia Ampere microarchitecture. Part of the 2022 MSI Ventus line of gaming products, it is positioned as a premium product focused on installation in powerful gaming computers and workstations for 3D rendering, machine learning, etc. It differs from similar solutions from competing manufacturers with factory GPU overclocking and a proprietary cooling system consisting of a passive radiator with an array of heat pipes and three durable Torx Fan 3.0 fans.

The MSI GeForce RTX 3070 VENTUS 3X PLUS 8G OC LHR is based on the flagship 2021 Nvidia GA104 GPU. It is equipped with special 2nd generation RT cores that allow you to create realistic lighting and reflections using the ray tracing method. In addition to RT-cores, the chip includes auxiliary tensor cores with which NVIDIA implements new features with support for machine learning.

In particular, this is proprietary DLSS smart scaling technology, which, with a skillful approach, can seriously increase the average FPS. The onboard 8 GB of ultra-fast GDDR6 graphics memory makes it possible to use high-resolution textures. Thus, in large AAA projects like Cyberpunk 2077, COD: MW2, Elden Ring and Forza Horizon 5, the video card provides a frame rate of around 60 FPS at high graphics settings and Full HD resolution. In addition, the device provides several software and hardware solutions to simplify the streaming processor (Nvidia Broadcast), reduce latency (Nvidia Reflex) and optimize the speed of loading resources (RTX IO). But for mining, it is not suitable: the prefix “LHR” in the title indicates that the card is hardware-protected from mining popular cryptocurrencies.
