Tech giant NVIDIA has announced the international launch of its highly anticipated GeForce RTX 4070 Super. With a recommended retail price of $599, the graphics card is now also available in Russia. However, the cost is substantially higher there compared to the international price. It will share the market with the original GeForce RTX 4070, which has officially dropped in price from $599 to $549.
Specs and Performance
The GeForce RTX 4070 Super is based on the AD104-350 graphic processor and boasts 7168 CUDA cores – 1280 more than the original RTX 4070. It comes with the same 12GB GDDR6X memory, running at a speed of 21 Gbps, and supports a 192-bit bus with a bandwidth of 504 GB/s. The GPU’s base clock lies at 1980 MHz, which is 60 MHz higher than the RTX 4070. The boost clock remains the same at 2475 MHz. The GeForce RTX 4070 Super power consumption is 220W, which is 20W more than the original RTX 4070. The manufacturer sets the maximum power limit for a reference sample at 240W.
Initial tests show that the new GeForce RTX 4070 Super performs up to 16% better than the original RTX 4070, with results fluctuating based on the game in question. Reviewers agree that the RTX 4070 Super offers excellent value for money, noting that it performs exceptionally well for gaming at 1440p resolution, even with ray tracing. Expect costlier versions with higher power limits and enhanced factory overclocking of the GPU to hit the market soon.
