These cards are at their power draw limit from their sources max available draw.
So overclocking will be extremely limited.
Marcus, why do you ignore Memory in AB? Push core 100 to 250 but also boost Memory by 1000 to 2000. Should see a nice 4%-7% increase.
Another great video Marcus!!! I really appreciate the high energy and dad jokes in every video my man. I’ll be checking out the pc centric store as a result as well(-:
YOU SHOULD INCLUDE THERMALS AND NOISE CHARTS AS WELL
Just got a pre built Levano Legion PC that has one and I'm honestly so impresed. This is the first time I've ever been 10/10 happy with a pre built pc.
I have found the RTX 4070 is really good for 3D rendering in programs like Brice, Daz studio, and the IRAY render engine, (it also rendered really fast on 3D Studio Max, but i only had an upgrade trial copy because my licensed copy of 3DS Max is a decade old and is only used for modeling). My personal benchmark was of a scene I created specifically to punish the GPU's. I rendered the same scene in Daz Studio using the IRAY engine at 4k resolution with 4k textures on every object set for a total of 3500 iterations. My result for the 3 cards i have were the NVIDIA 2070 Super render time 6 hours and 43 min. The RTX 3070 was 3 hours and 22 min , and the RTX 4070 cut it down to 44 min total!!! (I was shocked as to how fast the 4070 rendered the scene) I made no changes to the file before rendering, so all three cards were rendering the exact scene with zero changes. I know this was not a formal bench test, but i thought I would share the results for the 3D modelers out there since most card reviews focus on games vs 3D programs. Hope the info helps the modelers out there in the market for an upgrade.
Broo thank you so much ❤😭
Thanks! I've been looking at the 4070 ever since months ago, now my mind is made. This card is nuts.
@@fdevaa It also runs really cool. As in the fans rarely spin up. They do some times but very rarely. I am really happy with the 4070. Happy rendering!
@@Eneeki which 4070 are you using? I've looked around and saw that some 4070s run hotter/louder than others
@@fdevaa "Asus Tough Gaming RTX 4070". NOT the TI version. (12 gig onboard ram version). I went with the Asus simply because my motherboard is by Asus so i figured having both the same brand would insure they play nice together. it is the big one with 3 fans but i barely hear the fans spin up because of how huge the heat sink is. (note: i have a really old and huge Thermal Take tower case with 9 case fans. It has 3 in front 2 on back 3 on tip and one on the bottom, so the case is very good with air flow.)
That would be cool if games gave you the option to turn on path tracing while in photo mode only. Also, more games need photo mode.
This is good timing because I'm looking to finally pull the trigger and change my 1070. Its either this or something like a 6950xt
Finally, someone who talks about pc's in a way I can understand (helps he is a fellow british) and he also talks clear and a skilled presenter (I'm subbing)
Your builds are always so slick. Have you tried using those 180 connectors for a cleaner look? I saw Jay did a whole video on just those little connectors.
Not yet, need to order one !
I have one from cablemod. Made my system much neater and could put my side panel back on again! 😂
had the card in my System about a day after launch, really satisfied with performance and efficiency. But some custom models are extremely overpriced (100-150€ extra for maybe 50 MHz and RGB) for some reason (at least in Germany) so i would go for the OC editions of the more basic cards like the MSI Ventus OC or Asus Dual OC (which i have and very like). With those cards you get a good factory OC for a price close to MSRP
I am needing a new GPU and would like to upgrade my CPU at some point. SInce my case required a small form power supply, I kind of went for a decent psu, but not really a super powerful one. I have 650 w evga supernova. I had a RX 6700 XT, but adorable foster kittens got scared and tangled in some cords and a GPU got broken. Anyway, what makes the 4070 really attractive to me, is the power. I was looking at getting a 3080 second hand. The 4070 offers a few more gb ram, more features and way better power efficiency. I'm looking at the ventus 3x just for a tiny bit more cooling. So it's important in me to ask people who aren't reviewing the card about their experience. I'm going to wait a couple of months and see if any surprises pop up. Have you experienced anything negative at all? SOrry, I have ADHD and I suck at being direct and concise when I type to someone.
Yeah , i have the MSI Ventus oc . i have no probs with it , it does what i want .
Occasional heavy gaming , but mostly light . I like it .
ive had a founders edition 4070 since launch, and do not have any regrets
@@nerdjournal So you know, i do not think i have ever heard my vid card fans spin up. the CPU fans yes, but no the NVIDIA card fans. it may be because i have a Asus 4070 that comes with a huge heat sink. But thought i would let you know where the heat in my system tends to come from when i render. My 4070 is a beast of a card and takes up 2 slots on the case.
Marcus, can you do in future tests HIGH settings, because a lot of people would use HIGH to get that extra frames and not lose a lot of graphic quality
Hi just a quick question, can these 16-pin powered GPUs can be powered using 2 8-pin connectors? Just curious, I’m thinking of building a custom PC using some custom cables.
This is the card I decided to upgrade to from the RTX 2070 super which seems very logical for me to do, as I'm heavily into stable diffusion.
i have the same card, 2070 super,is it worth changing it to this video card?
@@AmpuLeah I believe it is, It's 150% more capable than the 2070, has latest Ada LoveLace Architecture and uses the latest DLSS 3 Tech not to mention the Vram is GDDR6X which is way more better than original GDDR6
I went from a 2070S to a 3070 then to this GB 4070 Gaming OC. Despite what the numbers would suggest, I reckon every one of those upgrades was worth it - if you have a fast enough CPU that is. I just swapped my 12600K for a 14700KF and that changed things quite a bit in my games. I actually think the 4070 was CPU bottle-necked a bit with the 12600K. Note: Most of the games I play tend to be a bit CPU-heavy, so my result might not be 100% representative. Needless to say that my benchmark results also benefited from every one of those upgrades. Timespy with the 12600K was ~10000 overall (2070S), 12000 overall (3070) and 17000 overall (4070). With the 14700 KF and the 4070 this jumped to over 19000 - which 3DMark called "legendary" ;)
Your videos always makes my day ❤
Not gonna lie, thought I was being drunk and stupid at best buy when I bought this as an upgrade from my 2070S. But I really do enjoy the card. I mostly play flight sims, which is why I wanted to upgrade (The 2070S ran everything on ultra 1440p just fine) except for my flight sims. I noticed an at least 60% increase with this card on DCS, X-Plane 12, and maybe 35-40% in MSFS. Which is perfect! DCS is the sim I really cared about. But throwing other games at it, it seems to run them even better than ever! I skipped the 3x series cards, but if you're in the market for a decently cheap card, this is the one!
Got the ASUS Dual OC version of this card and it’s def been a welcome upgrade from my 8gb 3070. I stream VR games which can me more demanding than traditional flatscreen games, and I haven’t noticed any of the stuttering I’d usually get with the 3070 when streaming more intensive games. Also really liking the new AV1 encoder as well and the 20 watt decrease in power draw compared to the 3070
The back fan not spinning is going to kill me😂
Thought about it but the chip it is based on is basically a 4060. Bought a 6950XT for under £600. Good few years at 1440p with that.
This is under £600 too?
How it it going? I also wanna buy a 6950xt but the power consumpion and heat is kinda holding me back
Hey man new subscriber here with one question ! I just upgraded my entire setup… Im running a i5-13600kf with my 4070. But I’m still saving up for a monitor with 1440p res…. Is it okey to play games in 1080 for now until I get mine or should I just force the resolution on my games to 1440p?
i just ordered one of these like 2 days ago upgrading from 1080ti cant wait
how much better was it
Hey mate I was wandering if you could post an updated budget laptop video at some point because I don’t know what to get currently and your advice is great
I actually got the zotac rtx 4070 OC version for $668 haven't put it in yet. But looks like a good GPU for that has a low ppwer draw. I would honestly say that high vram is good like the ones from AMD, but really its all about personal preference at this point and would also depend on the rig you'll be running as well. As for me i"m running a R7 5700X 32gb ddr4 ram and a 650w PSU for that power sweet spot. That should get me through the day
wait so the ryzen 7 5700x is a good cpu for the new 4070? and can it aslo be air cooled?
@@sushitrash2793 well since i don't have an open air test bench to test compatibility or even an actual rig to test it on. This is purely based on several online wattage check calculators and CPU/GPU bottleneck calculator and based on several outcomes that i've found it seems to be consistent and there seems to be high compatibility with the R7 5700x and RTX 4070 with an air cooler and to add this is going to be in an MATX/ITX case which is currently in consideration. Temp outcomes are a different story though
And to add this is ourely based on parts that i already have prepared for the PC that i am currently building
@@petekaiser so it can be air cooled than bc I'm going to save up for the exact same parts for my new pc lol
@@sushitrash2793 its possible but you need to check and research the parts you are using and if its available in your area. Pretty much here in Asia its available since most of the parts comes from taiwan which is home to TSMC which, if you are aware, also makes boards and most silicone based components
I picked up a evga 3070 when they liquidated. I still game at 1440p. Feel less bad about myself when seeing some of these charts at least.
11:48 as someone who bought a 4070 to play at 1080p… I’m not sorry
Nice video Marcus. I agree this card should be $499. Question though. How's that NZXT Z790 board? Been debating on giving them a try one day.
I think its efficiency is being crazy overlooked by everyone
because it can fully run on 550 to 650 watt psu
no one is overlooking anything, or did you forget the part where the gpu market is extremely overpriced
I'm currently running a RTX 3060 Ti in my system(Dell XPS 8950, i9-12900K, 64GB DDR5-5600), using GPU Tweak III, GPU Boost clock jacked up 135 effectively running @1800, and the Memory Clock jacked up 748 effectively running 14750...system is rock solid and stable, and system temps are well within limits...
New system coming online, custom built i9-14900KF, MSI MPG Edge TI Max MB, 48GB DDR5-6000(Crucial, supports XMP 3.0), MSI Ventus RTX 4070 12GB OC Twin...
I do plan on OC'ing both CPU/MB and GPU...
This is an excellently-timed video for me as I'm looking at possibly going into the 40 series with this card.
If anyone has any ideas or advice about a GPU similarly priced to this for video editing, streaming, and gaming, I'd love to hear it!!!
Live streaming gaming? I'm no expert but I've been reading a lot of reddit and comments on GPUs for over a month now and the general consensus is nvidia is better if you're going to live stream gameplay from the system you're playing on.
@@dhLotan Appreciate it, thank you!
If you are going from a good 20, or 30 series RTX - no point in upgrading to a 40.
If you have a GTX 1000 series, or a low model 20 series - upgrade if you want more frames and a better card.
For gaming, editing and streaming, again Nvidia beats AMD as more companies and software use CUDA. Some do use OpenGL but CUDA is generally better.
I came from a GTX1080 (8GB) to this 4070 (12GB). I wanted more frames, and this was a good card as it has 2x performance generally, (and most of the time more) over my 1080. I am not scared of the VRAM being just 12GB as I am sure it will last my usual 4/5 years I hold on to them for.
@@CarnivorousMonster I appreciate the reply!
@@Mitch47 Np buddy. Of course, make sure you look at other reviews that look at stuff you want to use the card for. Don't worry too much on the detail, just pic a card that is within your price range and from the research is the best for you. You can talk about VRAM vs Clock speed vs power draw vs etc etc all the time. At the end of the day, if you need a card, go with what you can afford now. If you want to play a game on a GPU and it can't do Ultra or High, you'll make it work. Games now a days looks very good on Medium graphics.
What app is he using to show on screen stats? What latency metric is really interesting.
Hey centric I don’t no if you take ideas but if you could can u do a video on buying second hand gpu’s starting from 3070ti buy like 5 cards and test them to show if buying second hand is a big risk. It will be expensive 4 you so I understand if u don’t thx bro
I have heard that the MSI Ventud 3X 4070 has problems due to temperatures in its hotspots, lack of screws and pads, is that true? This costs the same, does it have the same problems?
VRAM clock overclocking is most benefitial just overclock ram about 400-1000 room, and core clock about 150-200 and you will get most of the overclocking guys.
Is the monitor in the video the same Alienware monitor you have linked for your personal setup?
8:00 you want +250 fps consistently on 1440p if your monitor is running 244 hz.
And when you add DLSS, it looks very blury.
Can you make a video on best parts for different budgets? What’s a solid build for 2000$
Are the mouse mats shipped out yet? I bought one when they first came out (I live in US)
Shipping now I believe , was a slight issue with the first run, so it was re-run!
the fan in the back is still not spinning :D
I stick with my 3080, so far everything is still running at the max settings on an ultrawide screen.
Isn't the 4070 the same fps performance as the 3080ti or 3090??? I don't use ray tracing.
Do you think i should upgrade from a gigabyte 3060 ti to the 4070 with a 650 psu and a rysen 5600x and 32 gb of ram. Opinions?
What software did you use to show PCL latency on top-right?
I live in the states so thank you so much for telling me the price in USD
From the USA, but I think this would be a lot better card at 450-500. I wouldn’t personally mind picking up one of these if they went on a sale but it seems to me a 6800xt or better might be a good long term value vs a 4070.
there 1000 dollars over here in aus
@@benyboii1120that price is ridiculous. Honestly I actually picked up a used Xbox series x console and have been playing more games on that than on pc lately. For 385 dollars US with shipping seemed like a decent pickup.
What do you use to see the fps and temps and all that?
Love this card!! :D
Do you think is worth 200 more euros for a 4070 TI, instead of 4070?
I play Fifa, GTA V, RDR 2, CS:GO, Forza Horizon. I'm upgrading from a GTX 1070.
I found the Gygabite 4070 Gaming at 735 euros and the 4070 TI at 900-950 euros.
I have got the same issue , but looking at both is went for the 4070 not the TI version , i play the same games and in 2k so for me it's a great fit
The Ryzen 9 5900x will be a good combo for this gpu? Im buying the pc parts if u guys could give me your opinion will be great i want the computer as a work station and for gaming thats why i went for the ryzen 9 5900x cos of the 12 core
Glad I got the 4080 for my first ever desktop gaming GPU.
lucky shit
Very good GPU just a little to expensive.
Good! Just spent half of 4080 for pretty much the exact same gaming experience with the 4070
@@kinnetikira how so?
Will be upgrading from a gtx 1050ti to 4070 so I can't compare what I do kno is it will be a gigantic difference and it's about time I upgraded. Will it run gta 6 only time will tell.
Graphics cards might be the size of a current gen gaming console but at least they are more expensive and require the rest of a PC to use, right?
I'm wondering how good the thermals ar on the gigabyte, I don't care if it's a little bit faster or slower, I just want to know it's thermals to see how long it can last without damaging itself from over heating
This dude has no idea what he's talking about lol.
@@feo130 the temperature of the GPU Under load obviously 💀
It's very hard time, for Pascal users. I mean if u playing with gtx 1080 or even 1070, it is a large performance uplift.
The good thing is, no PSU upgrade needed (if you use something like 550 or 600W PSU) plus you can't run in cpu limit so it is possible to run this puppy with older processor.
Yes the Price. It is to high. But it will drop soon, im sure.
On the other Side, if u care about Raytracing, DLLS ect. yes this card is a good choice. For standard rasterization performance i would go with team RED.
only my opinion
true
Yea i have an Asus GTX 1080 , very tempted to pull the trigger on one of these.
I only care about pure raster and didn’t want to get screwed again on VRAM so went 7900XTX
@@inmypaants The 7900 XTX is twice as much as this card where i live. The 4070 can work as a replacement in systems from 2016+ . The 7900 XTX is not really an option unless you update your whole pc, not something i'm interested in atm.
@@inmypaants The 4080 is the better GPU. It has superior features, encoding, raytracing, DLSS, is 100watts more efficient, better 1080p and 1440p performance, typically ties at 4K in most games and higher 1% lows which is even more important.
I own an RX 5700 (Non XT) And I'm thinking about upgrading and try Nvidia for the first time and this card calls my attention however I've read a lot of divided opinions about it, I only have a 650w PSU So I'm not aiming for something that runs over 200w, I also have a Ryzen 5 5600x and I think it bottlenecks the GPU in arround 15 to 20% loss in performance, but even tho is still like 150% better than my RX 5700, what do you guys think? Should I jump to the RTX 4070 or should I wait for the 4060/4060ti to reveal? I'm not too much confident about those TBH.
Wouldn’t recommend a 4060 ti 8gb but do what you want
i'd go with the 4070 over the 4060 cards. 650w is plenty for a 4070
this card was a MASSIVE upgrade from my gtx 1650
Hey there!
Thanks for sharing this detailed breakdown of the RTX 4070's performance and your thoughts on it. It's great to see how it handles different games and resolutions. The fact that it offers solid performance at 1440p is definitely appealing, especially considering the price point.
I do have a couple of questions, though. You mentioned that the gigabyte 4070 card doesn't offer as good value for money as the founders edition. Could you elaborate on why that is the case? What specific differences or drawbacks do you see in the gigabyte version?
Additionally, you briefly mentioned that AMD cards tend to perform better in Warzone. Do you have any benchmark data or more insights on how the 4070 compares to AMD's offerings, particularly in games like Warzone?
Overall, your review provides valuable information for those considering the RTX 4070, and I appreciate your efforts in testing and sharing your findings. Looking forward to hearing more from you!
Have a look at our GPU buyers guide from a few months back :) Also, pricing has changed massively since launch, so just buy whatever is under RRP with decent cooling
performance per watt - lower is better?
why suddenly use Framegeneration in the comparison only if RT is activated. Use framegeneration in RT off comparison too, show with and without values or dont use it at all.
I could do with some advice I've got a B550-F motherboard which I've ordered ready to upgrade and a Ryzen 5 3400G cpu and a Asus GPU 5500xt oc 8GB 32GB ram this any good.
Can you stream, Record, and Video Edit with an AMD 7800 XT?
The exhaust fan not spinning is hurting my soul. Cool card tho.
Sorry, Im totally new to pc build etc. just to make sure; is this the same as the gigabyte geforce rtx 4070 «Super Eagle» OC? Reason i Ask is cus my country names then different than most i see online
What monitor is that your using? Ty
Its all great and all but this card costs : 724Eur at my local shop now. and in E-bay....around the same.
I've a Ryzen 7 5700G on A520 DS2H Gigabyte and 16GB 3200MHZ ram but my ram is running at 2133Mhz. When i enable XMP the pc won't display until i reset bios. What should i do ?
What cpu are you using?
WOW I wish I had one of those
This blokes more animated than Pixar
thank you so much for these videos!! doing a lot of research as I'm building my first ever PC!!! Really considering the 4070 since i wanna use it for gaming and streaming and this card fits my budget!
If you have a 2080 super and upgrade, this is 50% faster on rendering alone, and gives access to latest DLSS etc., uses 30 watts less power, and costs $100 less than the 2080 super when new.
I finally found the Screech after all these years 😂
Love you man. You're super underrated
Where is the data for the rx 6900xt and the rx 6950xt? It seems kinda weird they went with a 192 bits wide memory bus for a "70 class" card. Why the sudden downgrade compared to previous generation 70 class cards? Hmmm I wonder.
Should u go 7800x3d 7900xtx 1080 240hz that I have rn or down grade to 7800x3d 7900xt istead and get 1440p 240hz or should I just keep 7900xtx. Idk how much 7900xtx nad 7900xt different in 1440p high frame game.
The card is fine, but for close to 700 euro's I want something more than lower midrange.
How is the founders when it comes to noise?
Man I have a rly big problem with my pc ,when i try to turn on the pc it just restarts it self at an infinit is not the drive or until today it was working pleas help i rly dont know what to do and IT just have a black screen
I just got an Asus 3070 dual...I love it.
Still glad I bought a 6700xt!!! She should last at least another generation.
Whats best for performance the Gigabyte 4070 ti or the Gigabyte 4070? I can get the 4070 TI for £699.00. I already have a GTX 1060 6GB and want to upgrade. But i cannot seem to find a good deal without being conned 😞 All advice would really help me 🙂
A 4070ti is better than a 4070, as far as good deals go AMD has lower prices for about the same performance
@@KillerZayk Hi.. Thanks for your reply but in all honesty i wouldn't know where to start looking with AMD and the same performance 🙂
@@DeanoEssex Just go with a 4070ti and don’t look back. It will be amazing for 1440p.
It feels like forever since we last heard from BenchMarcus, live from the local watering hole
Just did my first PC build, and switched over to the 4070 after originally going with a 7800XT. Found a Gigabyte wind force model for the same price as the 7800 I had, and the addition of DLSS and better RT performance in single player games, plus the fact that it handles triple monitors in iRacing with a little more efficiency, made up for the 4gb of VRAM I'm giving up. COD runs worse, everything else seems to run better, and I got Alan Wake 2 for free! Thank god for the generous return policies at Micro Center!!
how did u get alan wake 2 free?
@@tanzero2726 I think the deal is good for another week, but it comes free with any 40 series card
Why did you return the 7800xt? When currently deciding between the two.
@@Daubinho As I mentioned, the big thing was the better triple monitor support for iRacing as this is going to power my sim racing rig. On top of that, DLSS and frame gen is much better on the NVIDIA cards right now, so I get better performance in the titles that support it. Add in the free copy of Alan Wake 2 and the lower power consumption, and it just made more sense for me.
This is no slight on the 7800 XT, however. It's a solid card and probably provides more bang for the buck for most users, and, now that the Alan Wake 2 deal is over, I don't know if I would have gone through the hassle of pulling the card and driving back to Microcenter to swap it out.
@@salkdhfpoahergpoahre1534 DLSS and frame gen are indeed better than FSR but the 7800xt doesn't need those to play most games at 1440p 60+fps. It doesn't struggle like the 4070 when it comes to VRAM. I think you made a horrible choice but you do you.
i really only play apex and i have been wanting to upgrade from a 1080 ti and this looks perfect for 1440p for what i need dont have any interest in newer titles but high frame rate and nvidia features is my goal
I would still hold on to that 1080ti if I were you. The 4070 and below are terrible. At least try to save up to get a 4070ti.
@@ZackSNetwork yeah maybe I still have a little while before so might be worth to save a little longer
Don’t listen to him it’s a good card people just complaining about the price.
I am also still on my 1080 ti but it's getting rough. Not even consistent 144 FPS on Apex on the lowest settings. Yes sometimes the frames are around 200 but I am talking about consistens 144FPS without any drops. The 1080 ti is really getting outdated especially for newer games. It's just so hard to decide because I don't know if 40 series prices will drop anytime soon.
@@shanghaifunk. i feel you bro im in the same spot
If it had more RAM I would buy it, however I don't think this will age well, and with AMD improving software more and more over time I went for 7900XTX in the end.
This card makes the 7900 XT look good at 800 euros.... Sad times...
How you finding the 7900xtx?
@@RTSchofield it's arriving tomorrow, I can't wait. But everyone's experience will be different, and ofc depends what are you doing on your PC. But as far as history goes AMD ages better than Nvidia, and I'm not planning to change anything for next 5 years
@@nikolamijailovic599 hope you enjoy bro. Gonna be a beast of a machine!
Mate the 4070 is under £600, the 7900xtx is over £1000. You can't compare these cards!
3:43, where can i get that adapter somehow my graphic doesnt get detected sometimes when i turn it in on, pleasse dont skip me
I tried DDU, New windows, bios reset, motherboard updated, update drivers, my only thought is that is it getting enough power with only 1 pce cable.
11:50 broo i literally buy this for playing 1080p mode.
I just wasn't going to spend €820 for a "bare-bones" 4070 Ti, even though that's the card I actually wanted. The 4070 Gaming OC looked like a nice "semi-sensible downgrade"-option, although I usually don't go for these overbuilt coolers sitting on a middle of the road GPU. That said: I got the card for just €30 over what the cheapest 4070s would've cost (flash-sale) and I've been happy with my decision. The card will easily OC to nearly 3000 MHz and I also run it with an added 1000 MHz on the VRAM in Afterburner. Even with those settings, hotspot temps will only hit low 80°Cs while benchmarking - the card runs much cooler in games. Max power-limit is insanely high and can be set to 148% (around 300W if baseline is the 200W of the reference board). In the real world and with my OC, the card will draw just over 240W, even with power limit set to max. So... 300W is more of a "these go up to 11"-type of deal, but the card does allow higher power draw than the reference board.
On top of that: I really like the look of the card and it is very well built and feels solid. It is quite heavy (1.3, 1.4kg, IIRC) but it sits in my system without any sag. I probably wouldn't transport the PC with the card installed, though.
From my research into what manufacturer to go with: Do *not* buy the lower end MSI cards (Ventus line, basically). You'll pay more than for other brands, but the cooler MSI use on these isn't very well designed from what I found. It doesn't cover/touch all the VRMs for example and, IIRC, doesn't even allow airflow to those components. And that's true for both the 2 and 3 fan versions of the Ventus.
brother shud i buy the 4070 ti super gigabyte gaming oc or Windforce/eagle one. I need a card which is compact and dual slot . rest msi and asus are expensive in india, they r priced in 4080 territory and i dont like inno 3d , zotacs , galax or colorful , im upgrading from Nvidia Rtx 3070 FE. please suggest and tell me is there any difference between gigabyte model in terms of VRMs, mosfets and phase design . are Windforce & eagle are really inferior to gaming oc model?.
I’ve never wanted to switch to AMD more than right now
AMD seems to be following suit with high prices though... Their last gen of GPU's weren't exactly a "deal"
lol he said the card is very good
@@zenon3021 yup everything in pc gaming isn’t cheap anymore
@@zenon3021 AMD does not skimp on vram tho
Went 7900XTX for 24GB and high native raster performance (game at 1440p 240Hz) first time on team red, experience has been great thus far.
I think the smarter move for AM4 owners is to buy a used 6800XT and a new 5800X3D. It can be done for around $700 with patient hunting. The 4070 is $600-650 alone while the 6800XT murders it in rasterization, has 4GB more VRAM, much wider memory bus and bandwidth, and did I mention you get one of the best CPUs on the planet to go with it for $100 more. New gen performance and longevity many hundreds less than a new gen rebuild.
Used vs new? I don't see that as a smarter move. If cost saving is your end goal, then 4070 runs at 185W average, while 6800 averages a 100 W more!! That's cost saving irrespective of your country's energy prices. In my country, this power differential is god send.
4070 is on par with the 6800xt and 3080 in rasterisation, has better features like dlss3 and better upscaling tech. Not to mention the 4070 has much better power consumption as well. Stop with your fanboyism and admit that both the cards have their ups and downs.
6800xt is old tech.
Sorry but the 4070 is superior to that 6800XT.
@@jal.ajeera I never bought a new GPU in 20 years so you might be right. I always paid hundred less a year or so after release used. I have a stack of my old GPUs right in my desk. Looking at them right now, I realize they all still work and i have no idea how much power they use just what PSU I need. Here is my ATI HD 4850 (lol, 500GB VRAM), AMD 7850, AMD R9 285, my old 1080 in my wife's PC, a 5600XT and a used 6800XT in a day or so. I sold my RTX 2070 for $750 in the ugly times. I still have that in my PC upgrade fund but I would never spend it on a 4070 12GB, not enough memory now, let alone a year from now.
Building a new PC will be upgrading from a GTX 970 to a 4070
how much vram do you need these days to play games in 1080 1440 and 4k max settings?
1440p 12GB is enough, but 4k some games will need like 16GB
Depends on the game 8-10gb 1440p is fine
@@arithmetic7105 yah that´s it, but if u are like me who plays flight sim at 4k ultra plus mods, u need like 16Gb for sure
@@ollkllok I feel like some games use so much vram in max settings 4k a 24gig card is a must also it gives you head room for whatever else when multi tasking.
@@RBFR01 yep, that´s true
The only thing better than your builds, are your jokes. Keep them coming :)
I just got a ryzen 9 7950x3d and an aero 4090 all white! What are your thoughts!?
A 7800x3d is better if you only use desktop and game.
Awesome!
Thank you for your videos! Love watching them! Currently on a cruise in the middle of the ocean
Can anyone tell me what is difference between rtx4070 windforce and rtx 4070 gaming OC
ok , the rewiew is great but please , get a solid desk man!
why wasnt the back fan spinning??
I love quiet cards. I'd buy this instantly if it was £400 - £500 lol. I'd be happy with the Founders edition. Such a shame I am dreaming lol
It's $600 not even that much honestly
@@coreywagner8998 maybe for u, it converts much higher in the uk and it's way more than it should be! It should be borderline what I said between £400-£500. Though in 2023 somehow $600 becomes £600. They have done the same with the new handheld from Asus.
3 years ago, the 3070 @ £499 was deemed a great value card. Based on inflation over the last 3 years £499 in 2023 is now worth £591 so this card isn't as bad a deal as it seems.
@@simonkelly8906 I am using the 3070 now which is why it's hard to upgrade to this at the price lol. It's still too much regardless. Nvidia are just doing it because they can now, after seeing everyone pay higher prices when everyone was mining. Of course a business is going to be like "you know what, they are paying double the price it should be...why not charge double on our next set of cards"...this is why we are paying more now!
this is the only card compatible with mini itx's though right?
nah 4090 technically is
i have a asus 3070ti so this wont be worth the price right?
I was going to get Rx 6700 xt for my set up but now im unsure if I should wait a while to get this one for a good price😅
I've got a z390 board with a asus strix 2060s and a 9600k i5. will this card run on my setup
What is your PSU
