Manufacturer description

The MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Ventus 2X 8G OC LHR is a dual-fan, factory-overclocked graphics card built on NVIDIA's Ampere architecture. It pairs the RTX 3070 LHR chipset with 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a full 256-bit interface, and MSI rates its boost clock at 1755 MHz. If you play at 1440p or high-refresh 1080p, this card gives you RTX features in a straightforward package: hardware ray tracing, DLSS upscaling and NVIDIA's NVENC encoder for streaming and recording. The 256-bit memory bus gives the 8GB frame buffer more bandwidth than narrower-bus cards with the same capacity. The outputs suit…
