No, despite its higher price point of €759, the GeForce RTX 3070 proves disappointing when purchased new. For a similar price, Radeon RX 9070 XT has 119.5% better 3DMark score compared to GeForce RTX 3070.
In the used market, the GeForce RTX 3070 fails to justify its value for money. It lags behind the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti which outperforms it by a lead of 15.6% in 3DMark benchmark.
Recommended PSU for the RTX 3070: about 700 W — the card draws 220 W, a CPU such as the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X about 105 W, and doubling the total leaves headroom for transient spikes. Pick a unit from a reputable tier of the Cultists Network PSU Tier List.
