I got a 3070 GPU from a retailer closer by and I find out the GPU won't boot up in my 2nd gen motherboard, same thing in a FX AMD motherboard so I contact the seller again and he told me to get a newer motherboard 6th gen or so, anyone here using 3070/3080 should please confirm, what mobo you using to boot up?
4th gen MOBO is enough since they have 3.0 PCie x16 slot, just don't plug in crossfire because they aren't made to function this way, my 3070ti gets hotter when I use crossfire slots to power the card, I'm forced to stay on PCie x1 instead

3070s works better on pcie 3.0 anything lower won't display, I have a MSI RTX3070ti and it failed to display on monitor in my old Motherboard, I had to go out and get a mobo with 3.0 pcie and it booted fine with zero issues
It doesnt make sense. Because we usually use gen1 when mining and just 1 lane is enough for mining. What i know that newer card will support previous versions.i dont have rtx3000 series. cant test it.
Lol, you don't have rtx cards and you are already saying it's not possible? My 3070ti behaves abnormally in a i5 2400 motherboard and it's a different result with my i7 6700 motherboard, if your motherboard has pcie x16 2.0 you will definitely have a hard time powering a rtx3070 up, still don't believe? Do research on Reddit thousands of people have experience this with 3070 and 3070ti

I have this gpu and it was a hassle to install when I unbox the card for the first time, I find out that this card can't work in a pcie 2.0 motherboards even if it managed to boot up the performance won't be good, I ended up buying a Biostar mobo which is a 4th gen for the GPU to boot up and display on screen

i have some biostar z170 boards they run everything but I think they are 3rd or 4th gen intel.
The Z170 are 6th Gen Intel

Should theoretically work on anything, even an old PCIe Gen2 slot. If its an old motherboard its possible it isnt able to provide the GPU with enough power from the PCIe slot - 3070 is a power hog. Try plugging it using a powered riser instead of directly on the board.
It slipped my mind that I had tested a 3070Ti on a Gen2 Mobo P8Z68VLE with an i5-2400
running Ubuntu 20.04. It was installed in the X16 slot with the monitor connected to the iGPU.
No problems once the drivers were installed.

so maybe a really old amd has an issue.
same for a 2nd gen intel.
I no longer have any boards that old.
I may have a newer board with a cpu are you in the usa?

More details would be helpful. Anything on the display? Did it POST? Unusual beeps?
Was the monitor plugged into the GPU? Could it have booted but no display?
Try with the GPU as a secondary GPU so you have the monitor plugged into a known good GPU. Then check
if the suspect GPU was detected.
I don't think it's a PCIe gen problem, but it doesn't hurt to try a newer mobo if you can.

It should normally work with a riser and if you have another card in the PCIEX 16 slot to boot up from but the best thing you can do is to buy a cheap DDR4 RAM motherboard which coincides with a 6th gen and above Intel generation.I have a RTX 3060 ti which can perform almost the same as RTX 3070 as both have GDDR6 and not GDDR6X memory,GDDR6X is for the 3070 ti card and I have this Rtx 3060 ti in G3250 gen4 intel dual core motherboard Asrock H81 BTC Pro which is working well 59-60Mhsh easily.
I think the seller is right, rtx3070 uses gddr6x and I believe this will only perform better if you use them in 4th gen and up motherboards, find a newer mobo to give a try and see since youve already open the GPU pack so you can't return again
