Will there be full sized 3070 blower style cards released later?

AshesAndWool

I dont need to get into my use case, but I basically have a build where I want the horsepower of the 3070, want a full sized card for aesthetics (but I'll settle for an itx one if that's all that gets released) and it would be really beneficial to have a blower style card that exhausts out the back and not into the case. I was waiting for an msi aero 3070 or 3080 because I love the look of those and I noticed that they have released one every nvidia gpu-generation since at least the 980, but I just went through all the third party gpus for both msi, asus, gigabyte etc. and I can't find a single one that uses a blower-style cooler. Do you guys think there will be 3070 cards with blower style coolers or is this generation just too power-hungry to cool with anything other than an open air cooler? (the 3070 is "just" 220 watts after all, compared to the 320 and 350 watts in the 3080 and 3090) Thanks for your time.

I doubt we will see blower style coolers due to the increased wattage of the cards. The 3070 may possibly have one but I doubt it as nivdia themselves have been pushing to move away from those coolers.

Most likely. Heck, ASUS has a blower style cooler variant of the 2080Ti, why wouldn't they have one for the 3070?

Probably, but I'd say that a 3080 or 3090 is more likely to have such form factor than a 3070, since blower style cards are often used for multi gpu setups (while also being cheaper to manufacture).
