  1. Hey that’s the card the card I was able to find and got it for $525 at microcenter. Last one in stock woot! It completed the missing piece to my build. Wish the card had light though, don’t care for rgb but a nice lit up RTX would be cool.

  2. Thanks William, an excellent comparison that we’ve been waiting for.

    Shouldn’t the article have a Tag for “compute”, and it would be helpful (for search) to have “compute” in the article’s title.

    Also, the “Arion v2.5” benchmark would benefit from adding a few CPUs; for comparison.

    We really appreciate seeing how much to decide to spend, and which card we should consider for compute applications.

  3. I have this card and though a good card MSI really locked down the power consumption. There’s a interesting read on reddit about flashing this exact card and performance gain on reddit. I personally flashed this card with a bios from the MSI 3070 SUPRIM X which raises the TDP to 300 watts. Ive been running it for a few months with no issues and even mine with it when not playing games.
