Community Feedback

What Owners Say

Owners love how it handles modern games at high settings without breaking a sweat. The usual gripe is the price feels steep for only 12GB of memory.

Pros
  • Runs cool in tight cases
  • Plays 1440p with high settings
  • Ray tracing feels smooth and natural
  • Uses less power than previous generation
Cons
  • Not enough VRAM for 4K
  • Price increase over previous generation
  • Only uses a 192-bit memory bus

Verdict

Our verdict on the RTX 4070 SUPER

This is an Ada Lovelace card that fixes the main complaint about its predecessor by adding more VRAM and shader cores.

Get it if you want high-refresh 1440p gaming with ray tracing and solid frame generation for a fair price. Skip it if you need heavy 4K performance or high VRAM for professional work—look at a higher-tier card.

Buy it if…

  • You want great 1440p gaming without spending top dollar.
  • You're upgrading from a card two or three generations old.
  • You need solid ray tracing without going to the flagship tier.
