This card is basically in mint condition, and has about 500 hours of gaming on it according to when I got it and the Steam hours.

If you play games in Full HD 1920 x 1080p (Medium-High FPS) and prefer high with some ultra settings, + ray-traced gaming with minimal game settings adjustments necessary, then this is a GREAT card for you.

If you play games at 2560 x 1440p (Medium FPS) and prefer medium to high settings with just enough ray-tracing with a minimal-medium amount of game setting adjustments, then this card is GOOD for you.

If you play games at 3440 x 1440p-what I used it at-, (60-80 FPS) with just enough ray-tracing and don't mind taking some extra time to adjust the game settings with the biggest impact on VRAM, at medium settings with the occasion high setting depending on how new and memory hungry the game is... Then this card can still work for you.

However every game is different on its resource needs obviously, so do research because I ultimately don't want to sell this 3070 FE that I bought new from Best Buy, to someone who won't be happy with this purchase.

I'm a bit of a stuck up gamer, who wants no adjustments at all, or minimal setting adjustments and mostly high settings, almost all ray-tracing available and as much FPS as I can get 60+, 144FPS preferred. With a 3440 x 1440p monitor, the VRAM and resource usage is too much for what I want out of my preferred gaming experience. So id rather drop $1,300 after tax on a 4080 FE, to have more peace of mind moving forward into the future of games using more VRAM.

I hope someone can appreciate that I care for all our fellow gamers,-more than Nvidia can say(cough)-. Hope someone appreciates the effort I put into clarifying this cards use cases to the best of my knowledge and experience with it so you don't regret your purchase.

And lastly, I hope that someone buys it from me as ends up happy with their purchase...

So I can... Offset... Uhh... The uhh..13(cough)... Hundred! dollar monstrosity I just bought. 🤞🏼😁✌🏼
