Community Feedback
What Owners Say
People love the smooth 1440p gaming and solid ray tracing performance. The main complaint is the limited VRAM feels tight for future games at this price.
Pros
- Idles cool in most gaming cases
- Fits smaller cases without issue
- Great for 1440p high refresh gaming
- DLSS 3 makes older cards look slow
Cons
- Memory bus is too narrow
- Only twelve gigs of VRAM
- Price still feels too high

Verdict
Our verdict on the RTX 4070
The RTX 4070 is a midrange Ada card that runs cool and quiet, held back by its limited memory bandwidth.
Get it if you want solid 1440p gaming with ray tracing and DLSS 3 without breaking the bank. Skip it if you need heavy 4K performance or more than 12 GB VRAM for future games.
Buy it if…
- You want smooth 1440p gaming without breaking the bank.
- You need reliable ray tracing for modern AAA titles.
- You upgrade from a GTX 10-series card for a big leap.
