This refurbished RTX 3070 is a solid step up from older cards like the RTX 3050 or GTX 1070, with 5888 CUDA cores and enough muscle for 1440p gaming. The 90 day warranty and reports of Zotac cards running fine add some reassurance, and the LHR design was meant to keep miners away while staying gamer friendly. The main drawback is the 8GB VRAM, which can limit higher settings and makes newer 4060, 5060, or 9060 XT options look more appealing for similar money. A decent midrange upgrade if 8GB fits your needs.

Common Questions (4)

  • At around $210-$245, it sits near the used-market price for a 3070 and includes a 90-day warranty. Newer cards like the RTX 5060, 4060, or 4060 Ti can cost a bit more but bring lower power use and newer DLSS/frame generation features.

  • 8GB VRAM is generally enough for 1440p gaming, but it can cap settings and makes 4K a poor fit. It is a strong upgrade over older cards like an RTX 3050 or GTX 1070, but newer 8GB cards may offer better warranties and features for similar money.

  • Yes, it is a meaningful upgrade from a GTX 1070 and should handle 1440p gaming better, especially for titles that already max out the 1070. The exact gain depends on the game and settings, but it is a sensible step up for dual-monitor 1440p use.

  • LHR means low hash rate: the card was intentionally limited for mining so it would be less attractive to miners while still performing normally for gaming. It does not change the card's gaming focus.

would probably skip on this one. If 8GB is enough vram I think you'd be much better served by a 9060XT 8GB model or even an ARC B580 12GB.

Both cost a bit more but are current cards with better warranties and feature sets. Also much lower power consumption.
Got a 9060xt 8gb recently and its great. With 8gb you are kind of capped at 1440p gaming but thats good enough for most gamers as long as they know to shy away from 4k when in settings.

Then you should know better. The value has always been with AMD.

"has always" is not ALWAYS. I had nothing but issues with drivers for various AMD cards. are they better now? yes - previously? no.

besides - my sim rig has the nvidia gpu and my production pc has the AMD. different strokes for different folks.

These were actually created to prevent miners from buying it. They made it a lower hash rate so it wouldn't be worth it for miners but still good for gamers.

damn, dude, I'm sorry. I was lucky enough to fight my way into getting a founder's edition for retail price from best buy sometime within a year of that launch. 2020 was the start of so much stupid crap.

Complete trash. I wouldn't get anything less than an RTX 3090 with 24GB VRAM.
