Hello, I just bought EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC2 GAMING iCX3.0 08G-P4-6573-KR and I am concerned about irregularity of the LED glare. Lighting on the "GeForce GTX1070" logo has some darker and brighter spots and it looks kinda bad. I saw few YT reviews and those cards has nice regular glowing. Is that a problem only with my card and can I start RMA for this? Below photos of my card, one of them was captured with very long exposure time so it looks ok.

You saw Youtube videos in a well lit room with the LED brighteness at max. You did not see them with a darkened room with the intensity reduced to show the individual LEDs illuminating the plastic logo. They all, every single one of that model, use the same number of LED's in the same arrangement. Some are bit worse than others in how even the illumination is. Whether the cosmetic issue is enough to warrant you spending the time and money to replace it, is up to you.

Welcome to the Forum You can use *NVIDIA LED Visualizer to make it Brighter. Is this a New Card or a Second Hand or B-Stock Graphics Card? *The NVIDIA LED Visualizer is available as a standalone utility from the following URL: http://international.download.nvidia.com/GFE/LEDViz/1.3.0.0/LEDVisualizer_v1.3.0.0.exe

bcavnaugh, I tried the galax bios for my RTX 2080 Ti Ultra FTW3 and it runs onely2 out of 3 fans.
Went back to the EVGA bios for this card and all 3 fans work.

Yes I have led visualizer and yes, pictures were taken at 100% brightness of LED (fast exposure). On the lower glare level it looks ever worse. It's noticable even in good lighting conditions.
I bought the card from second hand but it still got 2 year warranty.
Thank you for answers, I will contact EVGA.

That might be why the Frist Owner Sold it, lets hope that the First Owner did not modified the Cooler and LEDs that in turn would Void the Warranty.
