Mix in DLSS 3’s frame gen, and it even starts knocking on the RTX 4080’s door, bypassing the RTX 4070 Ti entirely: If anything, Nvidia’s upscaler seems to work even better on the Super hardware than it did before, with Quality-level upscaling able to more than double the framerates of a fully ray-traced Cyberpunk 2077. Still, it’s a far more regular occurrence for the new GeForce GPU to finish ahead, and again, that’s before it can even leverage its added bonus of DLSS support. ![]() It must be said that the Radeon RX 7800 XT does well to stay on the RTX 4070 Super’s tail, even edging past in Hitman 3. True, that’s about to be shoved aside in favour of its own Super version, but the fact is that this GPU can go toe-to-toe with one that can easily cost £200 more. Click, as always, to enlarge:Įven more enticingly, the RTX 4070 Super repeatedly catches up to – and sometimes slightly outpaces – the RTX 4070 Ti. These results show how tidy a performance boost the RTX 4070 Super actually has over last year’s model: in a lot of cases, the difference between the two is roughly as big as that between the RTX 4070 and RTX 3070. Even at native rez, with zero aid from upscaling or DLSS 3’s frame generation, most games can zip along above 60fps, so you’re certainly looking at 100fps-plus in those that support DLSS or FSR. While Nvidia originally pitched the RTX 4070 as a 1440p machine, the RTX 4070 Super is basically 4K-ready from the off. ![]() Motherboard: Asus TUF Gaming Z590-Plus WiFi.Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super review: 4K benchmarks The RPS test PC: Which, incidentally, it’s not half bad at. Next to my own PC’s RTX 3090 Founders’ Edition, which whirrs like a panicked Roomba whenever it needs to render something in three dimensions, the RTX 4070 Super Aero OC keeps to a mere whisper even when firing out frames at 4K. That’s still far less PSU slurpiness than that of the 263W Radeon RX 7800 XT, AMD’s recent-ish RTX 4070 rival.īesides being a bit of a looker – more rounded edges please, graphics card makers – this Aero model also sports a nigh-unbelievably quiet triple fan cooler. That’s quite a chunk of extra brainpower, and the Ada Lovelace architecture remains efficient enough that max power draw only swells from 200W to 220W as a result. Instead, it’s the base clock that gets a little nudge, up from 1920MHz to 1980Hz, while CUDA core count rises from 5888 on the RTX 4070 to 7168 here. But even if it was running stock, boost speed isn’t actually a Super-specific improvement. GIn this specific case, I’m getting a little help from the factory overclock on the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Super Aero OC, which bumps up the boost clock from 2475MHz to 2565MHz. Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Super Aero OC specs: It even makes the RTX 4070 Ti obsolete, let alone the RTX 4070 it replaces. ![]() As the whole issue with the Ada Lovelace generation has been fat costs compounded by middling speed improvements over the 30 series, that all sounds good in theory, and the RTX 4070 Super shows it can deliver in practice. But all three promise higher performance, with or without DLSS and DLSS 3 sorcery, and at prices that either match or undercut their original versions. Obviously, ultimate success will depend on the RTX 4070 Ti Super and the RTX 4080 Super as well. ![]() Having tried the new RTX 4070 Super, though, it looks like Nvidia aren’t just redeeming the Super badge – they might just right the wrongs of the RTX 40 family as a whole. It’s been two whole graphics card generations since Nvidia last tried the whole Super-branded refresh thing, and from what I recall of that sweaty 2019 summer, most of the updated RTX 20 series cards were meek rejigs of GPUs that didn’t really need replacing in the first place.
