Aurora R7, compatible with GeForce RTX 3070 Ti?

Question

Hello, I was given a GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Vision OC 8G Graphics Card, WINDFORCE 3X Cooling System, 8GB 256-bit GDDR6X, GV-N307TVISION OC-8GD Video Card for basically free. I currently have an R7 with an 850W EPA Bronze PSU Liquid Coo led Chassis. Would this card be an option for my R7 and worth installing? Cheers

@redxps630​ Thank you for the response!  I am being told on another form that this card will not fit.  Would there be a way to confirm this?

slysim · Answer

@redxps630​  According to my specs, max GPU length is 10.5'.  This 3070ti is 12.5', sadly.

redxps630 · Answer

yeah 320 mm seems too long to fit.  not sure how user uploaded benchmark with that GA gpu.

@redxps630​ I do see that the 3060 Ti fits.  I am assuming there shouldn't be an issue with this card?

redxps630 · Answer

it all depends on length of individual model.  higher power gpu may sometimes be longer than lower one.

@redxps630​  Sorry, this isn't my forte.  You were able to find a benchmark for the 3070ti which looked good, but sadly doesn't fit.  Could you find a benchmark for this card to see if it is worth the upgrade to my R7?   I tried but couldnt find one.

@slysim​  This is the benchmark site I always use for GPU's and CPU's you can do a side by side comparison. https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2060S-Super-vs-Group-/4049vs10Bummer on the 3070 being to long, but if you were going to get a 3060Ti I would think on getting the RTX 2080Ti  (I know its older but it spanks the 3060Ti) I've had the EVGA 2080Ti in my R7 for like 4 years. It handles anything I throw at it, and I game 90% of the time on it besides it being hooked up to my LG OLED 65 inch for my monitor. :)

I do not think OP needs to be overconcerned. if one GA model works, the other GA too.

the list is long if one has to peruse all the models

@slysim​ Thank you...I will definitely look into the 2080ti.

3000 series is newer.

slysim · Answer

Is the i7-8500k upgradable?  Im assuming a 3070ti would bottleneck CPU?
