TRULY SUPER 1440P
HWM Singapore|February 2024
When I reviewed the GeForce RTX 4070 last year, I was impressed by its 1440p capabilities and to a certain extent, certain 4K situations too.
TRULY SUPER 1440P

But NVIDIA has pushed the ADA Lovelace AD104 GPU even more and here we are, with the GeForce RTX 4070 Super, pitched at the same US$599. The RTX 4070 Super retains a 192-bit memory bus and 12GB GDDR6X memory, but features a significant uplift in CUDA cores.


 

Other than the addition of a 'Super' label, the RTX 4070 Super Founders Edition does not deviate much from the RTX 4070 Founders Edition. NVIDIA has opted for a die-cast aluminium body for the RTX 4070 Super, coupled with dual axial fans. and an eight-layer PCB. Connectivity-wise, the RTX 4070 Super features three DisplayPort 1.4 ports and a single HDMI 2.1 port at the rear. While NVIDIA hasn't upgraded to DisplayPort 2.1 yet, I reckon it's not a significant drawback for a card primarily aimed at 1440p gaming, rather than pushing the boundaries of 4K gaming.

NVIDIA's decision to stick with the single 12-pin PCle 5 connector on this card is unsurprising, but the 12VHPWR cable that came with the RTX 4070 Super Founders Edition comes with an improved design that should eliminate the "cablegate" issue that plagued the early days of the RTX 40 series.
