6. Summary
Sotecté's RTX3070Ti Apocalypse OC graphics card is still quite good overall, the appearance of the graphics card is very good, and the front fan cover part is covered with a large number of aluminum alloy metal parts, and the texture and feel are very good. The heat dissipation part of the graphics card is very solid, dense heat dissipation fins, multiple heat pipes, and the heat dissipation strength is great. In addition, in the back part of the graphics card, in addition to the conventional metal backplane, there are two cooling fans to assist the power supply of the graphics card and the core part of the heat dissipation, which is good.
In terms of performance, the performance of soteceter RTX3070Ti Apocalypse OC is still quite good, and it is still no problem to cope with various games at 2K resolution, which is very smooth. Even, many games can directly open to the highest special effects, smooth running is no problem.
However, the power supply socket of the two small fans on the back of the graphics card is relatively tight, and it is slightly difficult to plug and unplug, so when you usually use it, try not to plug and unplug repeatedly.
Thank you!
