Our verdict

The RTX 4070 SUPER Graphics Card takes the performance lead with a 6% higher overall score, driven by its 7,168 shader cores, 12 GB of memory, and 35.5 TFLOPS TFLOPS of compute power. In gaming benchmarks at 1440p, it delivers roughly 7% more frames per second across demanding titles like Alan Wake 2 and Black Myth Wukong.

However, the RTX 4070 SUPER Graphics Card tells a compelling value story. At $599 versus the RTX 4070 Graphics Card's $599 price tag, it costs $0 less while delivering performance that's only 6% behind. Its 12 GB of memory is still more than enough for 1440p and even 4K gaming in most titles.

Our recommendation: for the majority of gamers targeting 1440p or even 4K with upscaling enabled, the RTX 4070 SUPER Graphics Card is the smarter purchase. The RTX 4070 Graphics Card only makes sense if you need the absolute maximum performance for native 4K ray tracing, professional 3D rendering, or AI workloads where the extra VRAM and compute power provide a tangible advantage.
