Asus has suggested that the base RTX 3070 TUF Gaming (the non-OC version) will start at $530 which seems like a better deal as you can just overclock yourself if you care about getting that extra ...

ASUS requires dual 8-pin PCIe power connectors on the new RTX 3070 TUF GAMING cards, with 3 x DP 1.4 and 2 x HDMI 2.1 ports on the back.

However, we do not live in a vacuum. Context matters. In my frank opinion, the 8 GB VRAM in the Asus TUF Gaming RTX 3070 (and other 3070s) really kneecaps the true potential of the card.
