 how bad is it oh my god what is this oh my gosh how did you guys have to sneak these in oh my lord this video is sponsored by microcenter now if you haven't heard of microcenter by now you are missing out microcenter is my go-to store when it comes to anything computer part or tech related the reason for that is because they have the best prices anywhere the example i love to use is this the microcenter closest to me is in california four hours away no matter where i buy stuff online if i make a four-hour trip there and back and buy all the parts there in store rather than buying it online i would still save money microcenter gives such good deals that they are actually giving away some stuff for free right now if you check the link in the description you will see that in store they're offering one per customer a 32 gigabyte flash drive and a 32 gigabyte micro sd there's no purchase necessary and it is a limited time offer find the nearest microcenter to you and try to pick one up and maybe make some good deals in store thank you so much microcenter for sponsoring the video now let's get back to it so it is midnight and we are about to go on a road trip the reason we're going on a road trip is because today is the release of the rtx 3070 and if any of you guys have tried to buy a 3000 series card so far you have noticed that they are all sold out before you can even buy one because people are botting the cards and then flipping them so i figured why not go and try to pick one up in person so we and will are going to drive down to tuss in california which is about a four-hour drive and hopefully beat the traffic to pick one of these cards up in person i want to benchmark it because i want to see first hand just how powerful this card is so i have an rtx 2080 super inside this pc and then we are going to compare it to the 3070 if we can pick one up and i want to see just how amazing it actually is will you're gonna pick this up and and take it outside and load it up into the car bro no you're gonna you're gonna come load it up into the no it's fine i'm just paying you i don't mind no it's cool i'll unlock the door too all right let's get going so i actually make this drive to la pretty often but uh i actually never show the drive and people have been asking lately you know like hey what do you do like what actually happens on this drive and being honest you know you listen to a lot of audiobooks hey will hey hard go uh we talk about our feelings money power and women bro aren't you single and overall it's just like a really wholesome time hey girl how's it doing baby boo about to fix your pc and to put some moves on you yeah that's right you talking to a christopher yee if i give you this graphics card will you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior linus tech tips he is really putting in that extra effort that content are finally here how bad is it okay oh my god why it's the it's the budget for what is this uh should i honk at him i don't know why i didn't think a million people were gonna be here i wanted to think that there weren't gonna be a million people here it's just the 3070 so you know how we can tell we got a bunch of gamers out here waiting for a new graphics card they leave their scent everywhere wow that's bad that's like more than black friday bad where are they doing check-ins they're doing hourly check-ins let's go let's go see what i can do all right so we just showed up and it looks like they have someone that's not even working at microcenter organizing the line so i don't know props to the crowd for trying to get everything in shape and working correctly but uh i don't know i kind of want to figure out how long people are waiting here i just want to ask how many how many people are here right now if you had to guess on the way over 200 and you said it sounds like they're confident they'll have enough for everybody here it's out the way they spoke to me before they went home for the night last night they were very confident after 100 we're pushing 200 i don't know what the exact figure is but the second we get word we're gonna update the line to know what the reality of it i'm curious you said you don't work for microcenter so like i just wanted to know how is it that you came to like manage the line and stuff like that feeling okay okay we'll see good job all right oh they have a link in everything must be present for all check-ins check-in times 10 a.m one p.m four p.m dude well i want to find the guy who's first line i want to ask him how long even way here andy you're the first guy in line right yeah how long have you been here for i've been here since tuesday one p.m so you've been here for over 48 hours yeah i'm like 50 something oh my god are there more people here for the 3070 release than the 3090 no there was more the difference between this release and the 3090 was they gave a hard number that said hey everybody behind them you basically have no chance what are you going to use the graphics card for it's not even for me man it's for a commission well my question is since you've been here the longest what's the craziest thing that you've seen since you've been out here it's been pretty civil um i've been very fair we gave the the reason there was so much contention is that i i cut um i didn't even cut i just had the times there and there was a cut space where there was a nine hour gap where people can sleep and uh they had issues with that okay out here waiting for a 3000 series card you're not allowed to sleep ah okay so what's your name bro victor victor how long have you been waiting here so i came here wednesday uh around six uh so luckily with this it was really leaning like at seven with the last check in the next checking was at four and i lived like 30 minutes away so i just drove home so you've been here for 24 hours oh okay so my question is what are you going to do with the card why do you want the card my my old graphics card is horrible i had the gtx 745 oh my god okay i i can't run much on that but i've been i've been making it work i've optimized that really get out of my pc but with this it's gonna gonna change everything nice i got a question has anything crazy happened since you blinded up no it's been really well really okay good i don't know but i've been spending a lot of time in my car because people have been crowding because i've sat like in this area right here and people have been really crowding and like i'm not trying to get caught yeah i've just been chilling in my car going to sleep i'm pretty tired but i mean it is what it is you're almost there finished live right so so that is the front of the line and then that is the loop to the docking bay into two crevices in the parking lot back there looping all the way finally back around over here that's that's actually insane so it's about five minutes till they open see if we can talk our way in okay so i may have lied we might have a card to benchmark here live on campus but we are also trying to buy one so oh here it is thank you so much i appreciate it should we just walk outside and can you imagine there's just like if i all these people like some people have been out there since Tuesday i'm just like all right so we have the msi gaming trio so our job here today is to benchmark this card and we want to see how this holds up to an rtx 2080 super so we have the pc out in the car but before we do benchmark this thing oh my gosh how did did you guys have to sneak these in oh my lord these were direct ship oh my gosh how many is this 600 wow so you know you said there was only like 300 and like 50 people out there right so like if like we don't want to these just so as it turns out they have enough for the crowd that's awesome oh all right let's get out of the way this is so cool so not only are they prepared to have everyone get the graphics card they're also giving donuts coffee gloves micro center was ready for the 30 70 drop let's go talk to the last people online hello is this the end of line i got a question how confident are you guys that there's going to be any cards left uh seeing the amount of people right now not very confident uh-huh let's finally find out how good this graphics card actually is so since we are running off of limited sleep and time we only have enough time to test three different benchmarks that's going to be 3d mark unigine heaven and cinebench r20 the first card is going to be rtx 2080 super and then we're going to pop in this bad boy over here so those are the results for the rtx 2080 super it is approaching 23 000 on the fire strike test which is the test that i'm going to be paying closer attention to which according to it places it in the 95th percentile of performance for gaming pcs in 2020 in my opinion this is good enough for anything that you would need for the foreseeable future however we are not here for good enough we're here to see how good it can be so now it's time to test this thing and see where it stacks up okay so after running all of the benchmarks on fire strike the 30 70 performed about 15 percent better than the 2080 super on cinebench r15 it performed about 7 percent better and then on a unigine heaven the 30 70 performed about 12.5 percent better which if you were to average all of these scores together the 30 70 performed roughly around 11 to 12 percent better than the rtx 2080 super i know these are not perfect tests and if i had more time i would have loved to have run a series of games on this but just looking at that performance alone and factoring in that this card costs $500 for most models it is an insane buy if you are able to get your hands on one of the rtx 30 70s i highly recommend it i think that the performance that you were getting for the amount that you were paying is unreal and is unparalleled by any other release that we have seen so far before we wrap up the video i want to give a huge thank you to microsoft center for giving us a day one access to the car and letting us benchmark it in the store while they are busy trying to help customers by their own rtx 30 70s as far as what we have here that is the end of the video so i really just want to say thank you so much for watching i hope you found this creative entertaining or informative in any way shape or form and as always have a great day thank you guys so much i appreciate it sorry for using your workspace all right let's uh let's get out of here before they notice i took an extra voucher
