In this segment of the video, the host introduces an exciting build featuring the brand-new Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics card. This card aims to fill the performance gap between the RTX 3070 and 3080 models. The host plans to deeply explore the card’s performance and showcase the entire build process from start to finish. The build’s performance will be tested across more than 15 popular gaming titles, including Call of Duty Warzone, Fortnite, and Apex Legends.
The video deviates from the usual starting point with the motherboard and instead begins with unboxing the RTX 3070 Ti. The host describes the unboxing experience, noting the card’s founders edition design with a dual-fan setup for optimized cooling. The card features a sleek design with shiny accents, a sturdy backplate, and a slim two-slot form factor with ample ventilation acting as an active exhaust. The host highlights the card’s improved rasterization and ray tracing performance, as well as the upgraded GDDR6X memory.
To test the RTX 3070 Ti, the build will utilize an MSI B550 motherboard, specifically the Mortar model, which supports four RAM DIMM slots for dual-channel memory and the latest Ryzen CPUs. The segment sets the stage for a detailed walkthrough of the build and performance testing ahead.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the components for a new PC build, focusing on the motherboard, CPU, RAM, and SSD. The motherboard includes built-in rear I/O shield and M.2 SSD slots. The CPU chosen is the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, recommended for gaming, while higher-end GPUs like the 3080 or 3080 Ti may merit a Ryzen 7. For RAM, a 32GB Patriot Viper kit clocked at 3200MHz (overclockable to 3600MHz) is suggested to avoid bottlenecks. The SSD is a 1TB Seagate Barracuda 510 Gen 3 NVMe, with speeds of 3.8 to 3.5GB/s, sufficient for the build; a Gen 4 SSD would be better for a 3080 Ti. The chassis chosen is the Deepcool Macube 110, praised for its affordability, build quality, and ease of use. The process of installing the components into the chassis includes removing the tempered glass side panel and the rear panel.

In this segment of the video, the creator installs the motherboard into a compact chassis, emphasizing the need for a smaller form factor than a full-size ATX board. Eight screws secure the motherboard in place. Next, they discuss CPU cooler options, opting for a 240mm Corsair cooler for its quiet operation and added airflow, mounting the radiator at the top of the case and the pump on the CPU.
The segment then shifts to installing the graphics card, specifically the 3070 Ti, highlighting its design, performance gap filling between the 3070 and 3080, and expected improvements in GPU availability. The card fits well within the system, maintaining a balanced look. Finally, they install and connect the power supply, gearing up to test the system’s performance and the new GPU.

In this segment, the video shifts focus to performance benchmarks after showcasing the system’s aesthetics. Detailed summaries of benchmark results for various games on the 3070 Ti GPU are provided:
1. **GTA 5:** At 1440p and high settings, the average is 142 FPS, which drops to 131 FPS at 4K.
2. **Watch Dogs: Legion:** Without ray tracing at 1440p high, it hits 105 FPS. With ray tracing enabled, the FPS drops to 74. Using DLSS at 4K with ray tracing, it achieves 60 FPS.
3. **Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (Zombies Mode):** At 1440p high settings with DLSS enabled, it manages 142 FPS, but drops to 64 FPS with ray tracing on.
4. **Apex Legends:** At 1440p high settings, it reaches 202 FPS, provided the frame rate cap is lifted in the Origin launcher.
5. **Valorant:** At 1440p high settings, the benchmark shows 351 FPS.
These results are tested using in-game benchmarking modes and tools like MSI Afterburner and Nvidia FrameView.
