Palit GeForce RTX 4070 GamingPro (NED4070019K9-1043A)

The fastest pre-top gaming graphics card of 2023, ready to provide a consistently high frame rate in all popular gaming projects of 2015-2021 in QHD resolution and maximum graphics settings, or in Ultra HD / 4K mode with medium settings and activated DLSS. In NVIDIA's hierarchy, the RTX 4070 is a mid-range graphics card that vastly outperforms the RTX 4050 and RTX 4060, but can't deliver the same level of power as the RTX 4080 and especially the RTX 4090 with 24GB of VRAM.

It belongs to the models of the Palit GamingPro family, whose products are designed for demanding gamers and overclocking enthusiasts. They boast advanced features that make overclocking and GPU optimization easy. At the heart of the Palit GeForce RTX 4070 GamingPro is the AD 104 GPU based on the progressive NVIDIA Ada Lovelace (5nm) architecture, key features of which are next-generation auxiliary cores for hardware lighting tracing and DLSS 3.0 artificial scaling.

DLSS 3.0 was taught to work with four types of visual data, the NVIDIA Reflex optimizer and the Optical Flow Accelerator engine were built into it, thanks to which DLSS 3.0 learned not only to draw pixels in existing frames, but also to independently generate intermediate frames, which is especially critical when playing at resolution 4K or active use of resource-demanding ray tracing.

The technical characteristics of the Palit GeForce RTX 4070 GamingPro echo the predecessor GeForce RTX 3070, however, due to the optimization of the architecture, the developers from NVIDIA managed to raise the GPU clock speeds from 1725 MHz to 2475 MHz, and the memory was accelerated from 14000 MHz to 21000 MHz. Thanks to this, the performance of the RTX 4070 increased by 45%, coming close to the top model of the previous generation GeForce RTX 3080.

Well, the increased GDDR6X video memory from 8 to 12 GB is designed to increase performance for high-definition games. It is also worth mentioning the use of a productive and quiet proprietary three-fan cooling system and support for a high-speed PCI-E Gen4 x16 interface (backwards compatible with the previous Gen3 version). The length of the Palit GeForce RTX 4070 printed circuit board reaches 33 cm, and the card itself occupies 3 motherboard slots, so the best option for it would be a classic Midi Tower case with a full-format ATX board. The casing of the device is decorated with RGB lighting with the Palit ONE TWO SYNC synchronization system. Despite the official TDP of 200W, the manufacturer recommends a 750W rather than a 650W power supply paired with the video card so that the device feels more at ease during overclocking.
