Hey all,
So I recently ordered a Colorful iGame RTX 3070 for $879 AUD. The MSRP for a 3070 in Australia is $809 and this is by far the cheapest 3070 card I've been able to find - still in stock. I've already ordered the card and didn't think much of it, but then after doing some research and also according to a review by Hardware Unboxed (on YouTube:
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC2Sk-B60qg&t=765s&ab_channel=HardwareUnboxed
Basically the video says that the iGame variant for the 3070 cards is bad and should be avoided.
However, according to some other sources/more research I found conflicting data, saying that the quality/performance of iGame GPUs are just fine and that they are the biggest GPU retailers in Asia/can be trusted, etc, etc.
So I'm wondering, what's the deal? Is this manufacturer fine and what data is actually true/false? To be honest the Hardware Unboxed video is the only video which actually portrays the card/manufacturer in a bad light and basically everything else I've read/watched has said that the card is a very solid 3070.
Thoughts?
