Asus RTX 3070 Noctua

Supersize your graphics card!

- JARRED WALTON

THERE’S A CERTAIN TYPE of individual who will absolutely love Asus’s enormous RTX 3070 Noctua edition graphics card. It’s large enough that the gravitational pull might actually throw off scientific instruments in the vicinity. But seriously, it’s big, brown, and beautiful! Anyone who has ever wanted to build a Noctuathemed PC need look no further. So what if you don’t love Noctua? Or if you actually like RGB bling, or if you’re just after the fastest possible graphics card? Well, Asus covers those bases as well, just not with this Noctua card.

Fundamentally, this is a unicorn sort of graphics card: It’s mythical in proportions and, even after seeing it, hard to believe it actually exists. If someone were to suggest slapping two large 120mm Noctua fans on a graphics card to provide improved cooling and lower noise levels, it would certainly make sense.
