Yeah I’ve got an EVGA 3070 and I can’t fault it. I play a heavily modded game in 1440p and it occasionally chugs a bit. Having spoken to others with similar or better hardware it’s a common issue which I don’t think can be avoided.Actually mate, If its a Founders edition your ok using one lead, If you have an aftermarket unit...e.g Asus, Evga you are still recommended to use two cables from your power supply, The 3070 is still a beast and still pulls too much power from one rail. Not sure it would cause issues with the hardware but you may run into stability issues when pushing the card.
The 3070 is a real nice card, I wouldn't bother with the 3080 if Ray tracing is your bag, Especially when running in 4k. Even with DLSS enabled it's still a hog on ultra settings, I do love mine but im hitting 10gb on modded versions of games already. 10 gb just isnt worth it, Unless you can nab one of the new ones with 12 gb.
Still, I’ve been trying to bag a 3080 at MSRP, as I’d be able to sell the 3070 for similar, so it would be a good value upgrade.
