NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super Founders Edition Review

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super launches today, boasting a solid increase in GPU cores, ROP units and cache. This enhancement brings its performance much closer to that of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, at a price point of $600 that signals strong competition for AMD's Radeon RX 7800 XT.

Nvidia RTX 4070 Super Founders Edition Graphics Card Review

The Nvidia RTX 4070 proved to be quite a potent graphics card, and while it may have been in the shadow of the mighty RTX 4080 and 4090 graphics cards, it proved more than powerful enough for extreme…

Looks like a win for nVidia. Solid performance at a competitive price.

 

[Skifi28]

I guess I should have waited 6 more months, got the wrong 4070.

 

[winjer]

Looks like a win for nVidia. Solid performance at a competitive price.

Yes, it has good performance/value

 

[geary]

It's on the level of 3080 10GB? For me, this looks like a scam..

 

[SantaC]

lol 7900XT is way ahead of it

 

[MikeM]

Should have been the actual 4070.

 

[Bojji]

It's on the level of 3080 10GB? For me, this looks like a scam..

In what way? 4070 was already close to 3080 but in can't compete in 4k tests with 192bit bus. Its 1440p card or 4k with DLSS.

 

[Magic Carpet]

It looks faster than my regular plain ole 4070. I now have to shop for cards based on length, I can only fit a 12 inch (305mm) card into my new case. 11 inch (280mm) would be preferable.

 

[Bojji]

lol 7900XT is way ahead of it

Its not competing with 7900XT, 4070 ti super will.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

lol 7900XT is way ahead of it

LOL yeah, that card was a ras competitor to the 4070 Ti not the 4070

The 7800XT and 6800XT are the competitors to this card.

 

[winjer]

Its not competing with 7900XT, 4070 ti super will.

Exactly, at least here in Europe, the 7900Xt and 4070Ti are both priced at around 800€.

 

[SmokedMeat]

lol 7900XT is way ahead of it

7900XT usually beats the 4070ti in pure performance.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Guessing this thing isn't smoking the 3090 as I don't see any 3090's on the chart?

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Guessing this thing isn't smoking the 3090 as I don't see any 3090's on the chart?

LOL. No. If you have a 3090, then an upgrade for you would be the 4080 or the 4090 and you ain't getting a 4090.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I still think this card should have had at least a 256-bit memory bus. 16GB would have been nice, too.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

I still think this card should have had at least a 256-bit memory bus. 16GB would have been nice, too.

For a 1440p card? Overkill.

 

[Senua]

For a 1440p card? Overkill.

There is no such thing as a 1440p card, stop falling for their bullshit marketing so they can get away with skimping on memory bus, among other things.

 

[willothedog]

Guessing this thing isn't smoking the 3090 as I don't see any 3090's on the chart?

TPU review 3090 is on. 3090 1% faster at 1440.

 

[YCoCg]

So as expected, these are pretty much the real 4000 series cards, this is the jump we all wanted with the base models, they just held them back and rebadged them as Supers instead.

 

[Desprado123]

AMD RDNA 2 is really disappointing. When RX 6800 XT was launch it was use to beat RTX 3080 Ti or on par but really now RTX 3080 is really on par with RX 6950 XT in 4K on resolution.

 

[TVexperto]

i got a 4070 ti for 650 euros... I dont know I should return it and get the 4070 super or the 4070 ti super

 

[winjer]

i got a 4070 ti for 650 euros... I dont know I should return it and get the 4070 super or the 4070 ti super

That is a great price for a 4070 Ti. They usually sell for 800 euros.
Now consider that the 4070 Ti is faster than the 4070 Super. So you have no reason to change.

 

[amigastar]

Some Benchmark

 

[PeteBull]

i got a 4070 ti for 650 euros... I dont know I should return it and get the 4070 super or the 4070 ti super

If u go for best value, its solid, if u are guy thinking that he would apreciate 4gigs more vram and overall visibly higher performance across the board, by 15-20%, then get upcoming 4070tisuper instead, which is basically tiny bit cut down rtx 4080, so ur call there, all depends on the budget, ur needs and if u feel like changing ur card in 2 years or feeling u can skip 50xx series from nvidia(then go 4070ti super).

 

[amigastar]

i got a 4070 ti for 650 euros... I dont know I should return it and get the 4070 super or the 4070 ti super

Good Price for a 4070 Ti. I would keep it.

 

[Mithos]

Well the price have gone live on Nvidias site for Sweden (7799sek / ~us€ 750 / ~€ 690).

 

[AnotherOne]

lol 7900XT is way ahead of it

Lol until you turn on RT plus 7900xt is 200$ more

 

[b0uncyfr0]

So its either 7800xt with 16gb vram or 4070 super with 12gb.

Its close though.

 

[MikeM]

Lol until you turn on RT plus 7900xt is 200$ more

Those with a 7900xt (like me) don’t prioritize RT.

 

[willothedog]

It's not like you have a choice

 

[MikeM]

It's not like you have a choice

Well I do. Just turn up the FSR a bit more than normal.

 

[Gaiff]

That 192-bit bus really not doing well at RT. NVIDIA is doing their damnest to fuck over these cards one way or another.

 

[Gaiff]

Those with a 7900xt (like me) don’t prioritize RT.

You paid $900 to forego the most important graphical advancement in the past decade.

 

[Spyxos]

Well the price have gone live on Nvidias site for Sweden (7799sek / ~us€ 750 / ~€ 690).

At these prices it should have been 16gb vram.

 

[MikeM]

I prefer frames over RTX and I make no apologies for it.

 

[Reallink]

This post is how Nvidia wins cause it demonstrates how easily people's expectations are manipulated. Nearly 4 years later they re-release a quasi-3080 for $100 less and it's heralded as solid performance at a competitive price.

The market has changed. It is what it is.

You are the market, you are who changes the market. The solution is simply to not buy the products at the prices Nvidia is forcing.

If it were that simple we wouldn't be seeing exponential increases in the housing market/groceries/videogames/cars/subscriptions/electronic devices/etc.. etc.. etc..

Could we all as consumers collectively just decide we aren't buying anything anymore? Sure.

Does that haven even a remote possibility of happening? No.

 

[SolidQ]

Because people living in fantasy world and thinking AMD can't do RT, but they have pretty solid perfomance. Also RT in most games give zero difference. I know some people in real life, which can't see any difference in Cyberpunk between PC RT and PS5 perfomance mode.

This post is how Nvidia wins cause it demonstrates how easily people's expectations are manipulated.

All vendors manipulate with useless tech's. Trying show few games, like only this games in worlds. Will waiting for RDNA4 and decide what card get for next 7-8 year.
Personally i don't need FSR/DLSS/RT and other sh**. Just need good story/gameplay games.

 

[willothedog]

Well I do. Just turn up the FSR a bit more than normal.

As long as can live with sub-par image quality and artefacts, good on you

Thats Deflation, China is going through that currently. Everyone is sitting at home with their arms crossed, not buying anything. Money just sitting in the bank not doing anything.

 

[poodaddy]

I'm hoping I can get a 4080 super, but I get this strange feeling it will sell out in seconds and I refuse to pay scalpers. I hope it's feasible to get one. This is good performance though, and for not raping your checking account, (too bad), prices.

 

[Zathalus]

I know what you mean, I also have a blind friend.

Just because you showed your Grandma a cyberpunk comparison doesn't mean people with decent eyesight can't see the incredible gulf between rasterized and PT mode.

 

[//DEVIL//]

IF you really want a decent card that would last some test of time, get the 4070ti super and up. you want 16 gigs. anything below is just no.

not to say this card or the 3080 are bad cards or anything. but you need 16 gigs of ram and up. hell find your self a 3090 used if you want if it make sense. I wouldnt recommend it because no DLSS 3. but if I have to pick between a brand new 4070 super and a used 3090 for the same price ? ill go 3090 in a heart beat. at worse ill use Nvidia DLSS + AMD frame generation and I am golden.

12 gigs is the bare minimum. wont last long before its a bottleneck at 2k ( it is already at 4k)

 

[MikeM]

There is a trade-off but ultimately doesn’t mean that my 7900xt can’t do RT. It can, just take a bigger hit to perf than Nvidia. RT usually hovers in the 3080-3090 area which is still fine.

Until every game has RT, it won’t be a priority.

 

[SolidQ]

Grandma a cyberpunk comparison doesn't mean people

Grandma? That people <35-40. They just played game, instead looking every texture/reflection

 

[Senua]

Who gives a crap what the average person thinks? Us graphics and tech enthusiasts notice. I'm sure a lot of people don't notice the difference between PS4 and PS5 games either. People more clued it on graphics tech though...do. You're just painfully disingenuous claiming RT gives almost zero difference. When AMD get their act together for RT you'll be championing it just like the rest.
