ASUS Dual GeForce RTX™ 4070 Super EVO OC Edition 12GB GDDR6X (PCIe 4.0, 12GB GDDR6X, DLSS 3, HDMI 2.1a, DisplayPort 1.4a, 2.5-Slot Design, Axial-tech Fan Design, 0dB Technology, and More)

Easy to install, quiet, outstanding performance. Well built, little RGB logo on the edge looks cool. Really freakin' BIG! I'm very happy with this purchase, I can play all my games on max settings with ray tracing enabled at 2560x1440. They look great! This GPU replaced my RTX 3060, so this was a pretty good jump for me. I am a little concerned that it could have more VRAM, at 12gb it's possible some games might want more than that for max settings in the future. Monster Hunter Wilds wants 16gb VRAM to use the "high def texture pack" for example. If you are looking to upgrade from a 4070 ti/super or higher (or a card with higher VRAM) I wouldn't bother; the difference would be marginal.At $740 I felt that this was a reasonable value, given the scarcity of 50 series cards, and the tariffs that we enacted just after I bought it. Glad I made the purchase when I did, even though it was $190 over MSRP it was still cheaper than what any of the scalpers are asking.

Great Video Card. Owned it now for about 6months. The nice thing about this card, compared to higher-level offerings (ie. 4070ti, 4080, 5080, etc) is it's power consumption is reasonable and is compatible with many more power supplies / motherboards. It's very quiet as well.Performance wise, for me, playing at 1080 or 1440, I can play any game on max/ultra settings without any compromises. This was such a noticeable upgrade from my previous (but still pretty good in 2025) 2070Super.I have not even adjusted any of the overclocking settings,.. really, no need too.Recently this card has served new functions. I've loaded and started enjoying several 'local' AI solutions via way of Myst and Ollama. Runs models up to about 14Gb (not a surprise with it's 12GB of VRAM) at very fast speeds (i.e. dozens or hundreds of tokens/sec). So I'm quite happy with that as well.Anyways, considered the mixed launch of the newer 50-series cards ; this may be the sweet spot and ultimate-end game for any non-4K gaming solution, and introductory / moderate local AI work. If you are gaming at 4K, or AI-ing with larger (i.e. 32GB+ models), you'll need a card (or cards) with more VRAM.Great card, great company!

Jan 5 2025 update (about 1 week of use)The fan is quiet. I put the card intentionally under full load (99% utilization) running Topaz Photo AI Super Focus (beta), which lasted more than 26 minutes. I could not hear any fan noise; CPU load was low, so no CPU fan noise (AIO). I had to open the case, place my phone right under the card and record a long video in order to hear the faint noise. Power consumption was just over 200W; temperature never reached above 66C for the entire Super Focus operation.Original reviewThis GPU is a replacement for an RTX 4060, which is not bad at all. Since photography is my main hobby and I also like to do editing. The recent capability additions in Photoshop and Lightroom as well as Topaz Photo AI rely heavily on the GPU, resulting in a need for a better GPU. Obviously, 4090 or 4080 would be great, they are just outside my willingness to part with my money. While 4070 Super is not cheap, it does represent a reasonable compromise between performance and cost. BTW, I must point out that I have never spent more than $300 on a GPU prior to this; so, this is still a considerable investment. Besides getting this GPU, I also need to upgrade to an 850W PSU. So, this complete package is not a small investment.Long story short, it meets all my expectations.Installation was straightforward. Many people reported difficulties with installing the power cable, I had absolutely no problem at all. I made a stupid mistake though. I have 3 monitors and expected to see all 3 monitors showed up; only 1 monitor came up. Very disturbed, even panic at this point. Then I realized I had not yet installed the driver, which I already downloaded. Everything worked after the new driver was installed.I left the Dual Bios switch at the "P" performance position, and it was not noisy at all. My CPU fan makes a lot more noise. No idea if performance would be worse at the "Q" position.In terms of performance, which is the main reason for getting this GPU, it really shines. LrC denoise took almost 30 seconds to denoise a 50 MB raw file using 4060; this 4070 Super only took 14 seconds on the same file. Topaz Photo AI completed most tasks almost instantly. I must also point out that the standalone Topaz Sharpen AI was CPU limited, but I stopped using it in favor of Photo AI.I have not encountered a reason not to like it, except perhaps the cost. If cost is not a major consideration, I highly recommend it. I am sure 4090 and 4080 are even better, I do suspect they are reaching limiting return status.

I upgraded to this card from a 3070ti. The 3070ti gave excellent 1440p performance, but i was starting to see that it was becoming limited by it's 8gb of VRAM (a consistent problem with NVIDIA). The performance uplift from the 4070 Super has been significant, and it comes with 12GB of Vram which should offer peace of mind for several years so long as I stay at 1440p resolution.Although 16GB of Vram would've been better, I also take comfort that I am able to take advantage of the newest and most current Nvidia tech currently available (Raytracing, DLSS, Frame Gen). When the opportunity presents itself i do like to turn on additional eye candy graphical effects and the 4070 Super has is able to do that with performance to spare.There is a lot of back and forth about the viability of Frame Generation. I have played it in a handful of games (Starfield, First Descendant, Cyberpunk, Plague Tale Requiem) and the technology has been truly impressive! Maybe I'm not as sensitive to input latency as others, but to me any additional input lag that may have been added was indiscernible to me while playing these single player games. I would never go to the trouble of enabling for competitive multiplayer gaming.This 3 fan card also runs especially cool and quiet, with absolutely no coil whine. It is also much more power efficient than what the 3070ti did. As it stands, i felt that this card is a much better value, and I don't have buyers remorse. It's a more powerful, feature rich, cooler, quieter and more power efficient card that I hope will serve it's purpose for several years to come!
