I want to purchase the Gigabyte RTX 5070 Ti Gaming OC version since it's the most affordable option in my country.
There are other choices from ASUS, TUF and ROG STRIX, but they are significantly more costly, requiring an additional $100.
I noticed some reviews mentioning thermal paste leakage in the Gigabyte model—does this issue still persist, and should I be concerned?
Should I consider another 5070 Ti model besides the Gigabyte Gaming OC?

According to what I've learned, Gigabyte has confirmed that the problem is merely cosmetic and doesn't affect performance or reliability. Additionally, the issue has been resolved in the latest production runs.

Gigabyte applied excessive amounts of their thermal gel paste during initial production of the 50 series cards. Most of these early batches are currently unavailable, but it's acceptable to buy one now.

i am deciding between the 5070ti asus tuf rtx 5070ti oc and the gigabyte rtx 5070ti gaming oc. which one offers better overclocking, stability, load performance, and cooler operation? the tuf model is slightly pricier by about 40$ in my area, egypt, and i’m unsure which one suits me better. some users reported issues with thermal paste leakage on gigabyte 50 series cards, while others mentioned coil whine problems in the tuf version. should i choose one or the other? i have a rog strix x870-f motherboard and an r7 9800x3d cpu.

Both cards are good, but I prefer Gigabyte.
