Yeah that's not my concern. I'm just wondering if that will be the issue.

So I have an Asus Tuf X570 plus WiFi mobo, and the 3070 FE card. Prior to this 3070 I had a 2060 Super and I used a pcie 3.0 riser cable to mount it vertically. Since getting the 3070 I've been trying to mount vertically but it is causing weird bugs and driver issues when I use the riser but it works absolutely fine direct into the mobo horizontally. So is my issue; A) the riser cable is gen 3, the card and mobo are gen 4 and that's the issue. B) the riser cable is buggered? (unlikely as tried another cable which is gen 3 and does the same C) Something else I haven't worked out? If it's A, do you think that changing the pci slot to 3.0 in the bios will fix the issues?

I'd say they're worth yes. I went from a 3600 & 2060 Super to a 5600x and 3070 FE and I'm getting over 50 extra fps at 1440p. I was shocked at how much of a difference it made.

The 240mm Asus Strix AIO would look dope in white. Could do push pull at the front of the case.

Sweet, thanks! I'll do that tomorrow and see how I compare. A few % doesn't concern me but if its like 20% as I thought here, it's kinda crappy. A bad feeling when you've just got this new GPU and you're a little underwhelmed.

I actually work for one of the above named companies. The issue is that open reach look after all the infrastructure other than virgin. So no matter who you go with, it's the same speed as its the exact same lines. Just the bill is a different name. The only alternative to that is FTTP broadband that only really BT and Zen provide, but that's still pretty rare in the UK. Its more rural areas or brand new builds that are getting it. If you want to DM me the full address, I'll check my work systems and see what is available for you so I can give you a definitive answer?

So this potentially could be a bullshit result? The other site seems fairly credible and I'm waaaay off their scores

I'll do that tomorrow and post results

Stock with PBO so turbos to 4.2ghz from memory. I'd have to check tomorrow but I'm 99% sure. Yeah I have no Raytracing on either

I missed that! Good spot. Maybe that's where I'm missing out. Doesn't explain the other one but that's a great spot.

For example heaven? I ran a few of those and again was around 150pts under the scores that someone else got. In honesty though they had a much better cpu than me so idk if that would affect that specific benchmark

Not on the last test no, figured that may be the issue but nothing changed when I closed discord and chrome

I get that, but seeing other people getting these results in that badly optimised game makes me think there's something more to my low figures. Same in MP too

Hey everyone, Got my 3070 FE delivered today and I am confused. Having looked at various benchmarks, fps counters and general reviews, I don't seem to be getting the numbers that others are and I have no clue why. Running 1440p with the following; R5 3600 x570 TUF MB 32GB 3600mhz Ram O11D case (temps on GPU never exceed 72c) No riser cable being used This link for example, shows ultra settings with the 3070 on COD Warzone, with the R5 3600 and he is averaging 120+, where as mine is closer to 100fps. This link, goes into detail with the 10900k but also shows the varying CPUs and at the bottom & shows the R5 3600 and says it should be around 150 fps, but even in MP I am only getting around 120fps I cant work out why mine would be up to 20% less than these links? It not even like they're Nvidia marketing specs that I would expect to be exaggerated. They seem to be legit and running the same hardware I am so I can't see why there would be any bottlenecks for the other hardware I am using. I also ran a few heaven benchmarks and seemed to be getting around 50pts less than some of the reviews I had seen. For reference, GPU never exceeds 72c and CPU around 51C Thanks

I had good experiences with the Antec Prizm 140mm's. Still use them on my 280mm rad but changed out the rest as my new case doesn't like 140s
