Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER GAMING OC 12G (GV-N407SGAMING OC-12GD)

A high-performance gaming video card from Gigabyte, based on the progressive Ada Lovelace graphics microarchitecture, which the giant NVIDIA introduced at the end of 2022. Belongs to the 2024 Gigabyte Gaming family of products, which are aimed at demanding gamers and streamers who plan to play in 2K/4K resolution with high graphic settings and active use of ray tracing. It is also perfect for creators and media content who require a fairly powerful professional video card that supports all the latest technologies in the field of graphics processing.

Like most members of the Gigabyte Gaming family, it is equipped with a fairly large, highly efficient cooling system with three asynchronous fans (note: the blades rotate alternately), a massive radiator, 8 heat pipes and a dense metal plate that further cools the entire design and gives it stability. After all, we are talking about a rather massive device: the length of the video card is 30 cm, and it itself occupies exactly 3 slots on the motherboard.

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER GAMING OC 12G is built on a modified AD 104 graphics chip (5 nm), which contains 7168 stream processors, operates at a frequency of 2565 MHz, supports PCI-E v4.0 and DirectX 12 Ultimate. The GDDR6X memory capacity is 12 GB, and a 192-bit bus is used for data exchange. In terms of pure performance, the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER GAMING OC 12G is ready to provide consistently high framerates in any gaming projects of 2020-2023 in resolutions up to 2K at high or maximum graphics settings.

The difference in gaming performance compared to the standard version of the RTX 4070 reaches 20-25%. In fact, the performance of this model is approximately on the same level as the leader of the previous generation GeForce RTX 3090. Although the capabilities of this model may seem redundant for games in Full HD resolution, for 4K gaming, in some cases, optimization of settings and active use of DLSS technology may be required to achieve the perfect balance between performance and image quality.

Like previous generations of NVIDIA GPUs, the RTX 4070 supports hardware accelerated RTX effects, fast deep learning anti-aliasing (DLSS), and an AI frame generation system that can boost FPS by 2-4 times. Considering the power consumption of 220 W and the overclocking potential of the card, it is recommended to use a 700 W power supply to ensure reliable and stable operation of the system.
