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 refresh rate gaming at 2560×1440 and ultrawide resolutions such as 3440×1440, while still having plenty of power for 4K gaming, especially once you factor in technologies such as DLSS. However, the world moves on, games become more demanding, and there’s been a continued growth in higher resolution and higher refresh rate displays. So with that in mind, the RTX 4070 SUPER look to amp things up quite a bit, with a significant 22% increase in the number of GPU cores and plenty of other refinements that make this a compelling replacement for the RTX 4070 now that we’re entering the mid-gen period for the RTX 4xxx hardware.

Admittedly, these SUPER cards are unlikely to be a compelling upgrade for those owning the non-SUPER hardware, but if you’re coming from the RTX 3070, or even more so the RTX 2070, there are some big things happening here, such as 50% more VRAM, a larger memory subsystem, almost 2x-4x the number of RT Cores, and significantly more Shader Cores, which means that not only with rasterization performance be much better, but so will ray tracing, DLSS and other AI dependent technologies.
