IT FEELS WEIRD saying this about a $599 graphics card, but yes, this is in fact the best budget GPU you can buy right now.
The RTX 40 Super cards were announced at CES this year, and out of the lot, the RTX 4070 Super is arguably the most interesting of the bunch. We’re talking significantly more on-board hardware (albeit the same memory), a static RRP price tag (a lovely addition, given the current state of inflation), and better yet, killer performance at 4K. Is this the card to finally put the nail in 1080p’s coffin? It might just be.
At this point in time, you’ll likely have read more than enough in these hallowed pages about Ada Lovelace, the Supers, and Nvidia’s progress over the last year and a bit, so we won’t bore you with the details yet again. To put it simply, initial reaction towards the 40 series GPUs was mixed. Top-tier performance? Yes. Toptier pricing? Absolutely not.

Fun and graphics card games at CES 2025
WE ALL KNEW what was coming at CES: a bunch of graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia. They were pretty much exactly as predicted, albeit with some surprises. AMD managed to botch the launch of its RDNA 4 cards, while Nvidia played 3D chess with the pricing of its new RTX 50 cards.
