Hi
I purchased the Gigabyte 4070 Wf Oc for my son's rig and so far it has been a great card,
But I am worried about Gigabyte's Pcb cracking, warranty issue even though with this card there is very little gpu sag.
I added a gpu anti-sag bracket for $25.00
as Precaution.
Of the 4070's Denver Micro Center had at the time of purchase, only 2 brands that had a more fuller backplate, was Gigabyte and Zotac
Hopefully, my decision won't bite me.
Here are the 3DMark Timespy runs on his vs. my 5900x /2080 ti Custom Loop
Both systems running 1440p 165hz monitors.
His has a H150i Elite Capellix on his 5600x with the 4070 stock air cooling.
(Check out his Gpu temp)

The highest wattage I saw was 194 watts in Msi Ab out of all the runs working up his clocks.

WHO will be left We Can Trust ????
All we can do is research for what you want and hope there are no reports of issue's after purchase.
Good Luck with your Decision!!!!!!!!
