#Geforce #RTX4070 #Roundup - Наука та технологія
HEADS UP. This video was recorded before the current ASUS drama. It doesn't really change anything about this video nor this particular product, but I know some of you will ask so here goes:
My take is simple: Everyone makes mistakes, but ASUS really handled this one badly and they absolutely deserve some flak. It's disappointing that time after time big brands keep trying to hide issues rather than just own up to them and try to do better. But I'm not going to blacklist them and pretend their products don't exist, because with that reasoning almost every big brand (including MSI and Gigabyte here) could be blacklisted for handling mistakes poorly at some point as well. So I'll continue to keep my videos focussed on the products... and Lego 🥰. Enjoy!
Cheers. Asus needs to do some corporate restructuring of their marketing/PR department.
That's a fair statement, thank you! It's been like subscribing to ESPN but getting Jerry Springer show content from tech channels lately, all that dramas man...
Asus Drama wil go down in history lol ;)
Yep, Asus isn't the only one, MSI was hacked recently ( careful when updating firmware, BIOS,hard to distinguish the real & fake) and rivatuner drama, Gigabyte exploding PSU a few years ago. Which is why it's wise to wait for reviews.
Sorry, by current internet standards, this reply is far too reasonable, rational and dare I say it...adult! :) On a serious note, a good reply to a real foul up by ASUS, without going "over the top". I think ASUS is going to get punished by consumers for a while. I hope ASUS and other companies can learn a valuable lesson, and keep a real focus on keeping consumers happy by providing the best possible hardware and support.
Second vid i watch on this channel and.. ngl i like how simple and straight to the point your videos. Other channels give me a headache with minimum benefit xd .. Subbed!
I've used the Gigabyte Windforce cards for year's and have never had a problem with any of them. I have the new 4070, 3080, 2080 and a white 2070 Super and they have worked perfectly. They even gave me a 4th year on my warranty on my 3080 for registering it online. They make great products. Plus the new 4070 Windforce looks great with my ASUS Creator motherboard on my 5900x workstation. Plus decoding video with Handbrake works even better with the 4070 over my older 2080. I highly recommend these card's. I love ASUS as well, I try to always use their motherboards. But they had the recent quality issues with the Ryzen 7000 series processor's and boards. I almost got the ASUS 4070 Dual until that happened. Great video as always.
You do a fantastic job in your reviews! Love your channel! Very thorough!
maybe get over the hard on you got for her and realize you will never get her and to even promote a garbage card and grade over looks is ridiculous lol.none of these shit cards should even be talked about its stupid
Thanks! This is just what I was looking for: a small selection of reasonably well performing cards with current gen hardware and power consumption that could fit in an SFF case
Some manufactures has cut out in the back plate for the gpu and some don't. I wonder what is the reasoning behind this cut-out.
This is the best 4070 video on youtube. Exactly what I was looking for. I have the white version of the ASUS 4070 OC and I love it. Definitely wouldnt recommend for 4k but works great on the Samsung G9. I didnt know about the performance button on it!!! Thanks for the great video!
Thank you for this comparison/review! This was exactly what I was waiting for when the RTX 4070 was released, as these lower-tier models are the only ones usually available and ones that fit my budget (the Gigabyte Windforce OC in particular, since that was what was readily available from a local trusted retailer). I did eventually bite the bullet a few weeks back and got the Windforce OC, and though some other reviews I found didn't really praise it, the noise and thermals seem fine by me.
Happy to help! And that makes sense . If you have a prefered retailer and they carry either of these, that's enough of a reason to pick one over the other imho.
One thing the Windforce has going for it that Asus Dual doesn't, the backplate has a squarish cutout so the 3rd fan can blow hot air away from the gpu, I think this is why it has the best temps of the 3 cards here.
I got my yesterday for 550 US dollars.
Hello, thank you for this information. I am looking to spec a pc build, and so cards information like this is useful. I am wondering though if the graphs here represent only peak FPS or is this average? I have a 1440p g-sync monitor and so would be looking to run games like RD2, Cyberpunk2077 and Starfield (when it comes out) while being able to lock the framerate at 60fps.
Great video! Thank you for making it
These are the kinds of tests we need :). So many different models to choose from . It would be awesome to see the difference between the cheapest, middle price and most expensive version though.
I always suspected there wasnt much in it other than aesthetics and that looks to be true. Though the lower power draw of the asus card is nice.. if you want to risk going with asus at the moment :)
super helpful. Thank you
hi need help. Is the zotac twin edge oc good enough for a 4070 card in terms of performance? The positive side is they have longer warranty of 5 years compared to other cards.
Love your review. Thank you so much!
Exactly the video I was looking for, thank you!
Thnx for the good review Nada 🤩
Did you have Ventus 3x E or non E version? E version has improved cooling and thermopads on vram.
O!Technology compares all gpu designs and told in his video not to buy the Msi Ventus 3X, because of high VRM temperatures ( over 90 degrees) on the top of the Card due to missing thermal pads. His source was a test from Guru 3d.
Great video! Anyone knows if there would be a significant difference between rtx 3070 dual and the 3 ventus version?
'Always enjoy your reviews. A head to head for these cards was a great choice. Larger fans, lower spin speed, quieter performance = my preference. Asus offered 3 DP and 2 HDMI ports on some of its TUF series cards last gen. I wish more companies would offer that option. I will use all the monitors I can plug in, including 7" screens inside my PC. Thanks for the vid! 👍👍
Thanks, the lack of tests of MSRP models indeed has been an issue
My pleasure! And I know, every brand just wants to focus on their "best".
Thank you so much for this review! I was looking for a review that had details on the Gigabyte RTX 4070 Windforce as it is selling for $549 now (Oct 2023). I also wanted a smaller, more compact RTX 4070. This fit the bill perfectly! Mine runs at 62°C and 180W max while gaming and fans don't spin faster than 1500RPM. Completely inaudible in my air cooled PC. Slight coil whine, nothing loud or annoying at all.
Thanks for the review! Did you notice any coil whine in the cards when testing?
My pleasure! And didn’t have coil whine with any of them. If I do i’d always say.
@@TechTesterseveryone saying the Asus dual has insane coil whine. Literally everyone, and some benchmarks. Very surprised u don’t address that in ur video 😮
@@Brosak. because mine didn’t have any coil whine.
In my region , a 4070 build with ryzen 7600 and An 4070 laptop with i9 13980hx ( ROG strix g16) both costs 2000 USD .
Build is 20% faster , but the laptop has QHD panel and Portablity.
Do you say that extra performance is not worth as much as the flexibilty ?
I recently bought the ZOTAC GeForce RTX4070 Twin Edge OC for €660, I was debating getting a RTX for a while but it was the inclusion of Diablo 4 that made me go for it. 😁
is windforce really noticible noizer then Asus Dual? thanks in advance for your answer.
which cpu you were testing cards on?
good day!!! can i replace my rtx 3070 ventus with 1 of those in an MSI P100A???
the best type of videos we need . comparing the same card ( diff brands ) is what we want
Very nice break down of Cards along with detailed info on Benchmarks.
Thanks!
Did they change the back plate on the Msi? it says it has a metal back plate on Amazon currently.
I'd guess that's a spec issue for Amazon. I doubt MSI could (or would) change their design that quickly.
Thanks for the insightful video! Much appreciated.
I am wondering if I should go for the Asus Dual (€659) or Asus Dual OC (€669). Do you think it's worth to pay extra for the OC model? The difference seems to be only 45mHz.
Happy to help. I don't have the non OC bou might end up with 1-2% more performance for 1-2% more money. I doubt you'd ever notice the difference either way.
Bro I have the same thing. Did you go to OC or Standard ? ♥
amazing video. everybody misses these points. thank you!
Thank you!
I absoolutely love your videos. Everything is done so classy, no clickbaits or unnecessary bashing, and rational conclusions. I love that its not another guy in a hoodie making crude jokes. Thank you, you are a breath of fresh air in this space :)
Thank you! ☺️

you read my mind
What's wrong with the guy in a hoodie. 😢we need em once in a while
Nothing against them at all!
just glad there is a no nonsense, journalistic and unbiased reviewer
This video comes just in time... thanks!
Happy to help! Curious what you'll end up grabbing :)
I upgraded from a GTX 1080 to the Asus Dual OC model a few weeks ago. It gets 33c on idle without the fans even spinning. I got it for a little less than MSRP. I can't complain.
Enjoy! ☺️
I like the dual models, had a dual 3070 OC and it was so slick, ended up selling to a friend and got a 3080ti coz I’m a graphics whore but still kinda miss the beautiful dual 3070 😅
@@George-um2vc They cost less than triple fans, weigh less, and usually just need an 8 pin. It was an easy swap with my 1080.
@@suspectedcrab that’s a very nice upgrade, very power efficient plus you get frame gen, I will upgrade when the 5000s drop
Very helpful thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
My windforce OC has this weird thing where no matter when I overclock it and set the power limits to 108%, it never goes above 200W :(
Bought Asus Tuf RTX 4070 OC and i get coil whine, do any of them don't have that? or I am just unlucky :(
You have a higher chance of coil whine on custom PCBs like ASUS or MSI.
The KFA2/Galax or PNY cards for example use ref PCBs and have a lower chance of noisy coils.
PNY is also a good- 599.00 for the 4070 without RGB and 799.00 for the 4070 Ti with RGB
Thanks for the video! Trying to decide between the Gigabyte and MSI. My NZXT H210 itx case is limited by gpu height. The MSI will for sure fit but I might be able to squeeze in the Gigabyte.
I'm running the Gigabyte and it's awesome. (Quiet, cool, efficient, even cooler with dual bios and tons of fps 👍)
I decided against another H210 build (Ryzen 2600/RX580 for my last one) because the thicker cards get too close to the PSU shroud. I decided on a Lian Li Q58 with the Gigabyte card in this video and just finished the build. Wish I'd seen this first because the Gigabyte being "only slightly" thicker isn't ideal. If I were to go back to the H210, I'd definitely try to get the thinner card.
Bad pricing aside, it's amazing how power efficient this GPU is. The ASUS model would look amazing in an ITX case, paired with a non-X AM5 CPU like the Ryzen 7 7700. Maybe you can do a build video of that :)
I agree. I think the power consumption and thermals is understated by reviewers. This makes upgrading to a 4070 more feasible for users not looking to purchase a new PSU and possibly consume less power in the long run.
nice video . watching you after long 1 month. hv totally lost intrest in 40 series gpu due to high prices for my potential upgrade from 3070
i hope you do the same for 4060 ti 16gb in a few months time. looking at a black Friday upgrade
I've played around with 3 windforce cards from 2 manufacturers. They all had the exact same problem. they ran too hot at stock and all three needed to be undervolted to work properly or you would thermal throttle.
the Asus Dual gives excellent temperatures, I don't exceed 68 degrees in ultra details (PUBG)
Due to your recent reviews, which included MSFS2020 data, bought a RTX4070 to replace my old GTX1080 and i am really impressed. What a performance upgrade and the DLSS Frame Generation is a game changer in MSFS2020. I bought a ASUS RTX 4070 TUF Gaming (Non OC) and it is build like a tank. Thanks for your great reviews.
Happy to help, and enjoy the upgrade!
Hi Harald, I am considering the same move. Which CPU, motherboard and power supply do you have? Thanks!
@@danp1975 MSI X470 Gaming Plus motherboard with a Ryzen 7 5700X CPU and Corsair 850W power supply. Will swapp the 7 5700X for a 7 5800x3d in the near future.
@@HaraldLabout 5800x3d with 4070 offers more fps at 1440p High preset instead of 5700x ? Or the difference is small ?
@@Samukr. still running the 5700x but I believe the best cpu for MSFS2020 is the 5800x3d.
Another great video!
Thank you!
shall i get an rtx 4070 or rx 6950xt since they are both in the same price range ?
My pc is tiny (micro-atx, NZXT H510) so i have an Asus Dual 3060 12 gb, it is super quiet as well and never passes 74 degrees in a 2-fan case.
Fan/coilwhine is basicly non existent due to the larger diameter of the fans.
I reviewed it on my channel and will soon post benchmarks.
Im planning on upgrading it to a 4070 as soon as Nvidia launches the 4070 with more vram, im sure there will be one around mid 2024.
If that comes in a dual fan lay-out i'll definetly get that!
hi! is windforce really noticible noizer then Asus Dual? I feel like Asus Dual has more quality then windforce also the quality of fans seems to be better in Asus dual then in windforce but i really dont like how Asus Dual looks? If the difference is really not big and almost is not noticible ill buy windforce! thanks in advance for your answer.
Thanks! And enjoy!
There is DLSS 3 now right?
Again I can only salute this channel for having very well thought out coverage of a very relevant topic. Find a niche / strength and play to it ! The XX70 Series is a very aspirational series to many and as a long time builder myself this video is a nice counter to many that will focus on the PREMIUM Model from each series. It is often much easier to catch the 'budget' variants on better sales also. A nice thoughtful shout out to say HEY ! 4060 not too far away and if by some miracle's the rumors of TWO VRAM Config SKU's turns out to be correct many early adopters will be kicking themselves.
Glad you liked it! And it'll be interesting to see a 16GB 4060 Ti vs a 12GB 4070, I have my doubts 4070 buyers will end up regretting not getting a 4060 Ti, but we'll see.
@@TechTesters I JUST UPGRADED FROM A 6GB 1060 GTX And that was the single best part purchase I ever made (I was incredibly lucky to get it at it's lowest price before crypto mania) . If someone would have said 3 generations later I would have the option to spend around £380 for a 8GB 4060 - Well I would have only laughed at that idea. If someone would have told me about Crypto Scalping I would have only cried into my Pillow. Today the rumour is 16GB 4060 Ti. I got to say for 1440P Gaming in 2-3 years time I just cannot see 12GB 4070 Owners being anything less than Hopping mad at NVidia ! The 4070 will age better as a 1080P card IMHO. Maybe that's a controversial HOT TAKE ! but you just cannot cram 1440P Textures into 12GB VRAM (barely even today) . You sure have got me thinking now which bottle neck will hit gamers hardest Texture quality bottleneck or Raw performance bottleneck. All totally avoidable with +4GB optional SKU's on each card below the 4090. So offer a 4060 8GB and 12GB for more cost. Maybe TechTesters and others can set the narrative back to NV Sales Reps and fan base !
I got incredibly lucky to fall into a 5700XT Red Devil for £100 From someone reputable who didn't mine on it. Has given me the luxury to sit out and wait for the 50 or 60 series !
Here in Italy you can find: asus dual OC at 704,90 euro, Gigabyte windforce OC at 698,99 and MSI Ventus 3x OC at 689. The cheapest one is the Palit Dual OC at 654,07 and you can find the Gigabyte Eagle OC at 675,14 and the Gigabyte Gaming OC at 679,99
Manco fossimo pieni di cash
Those stores are a rip off, Portugal has higher tax rate, 23%, and all those models are cheaper here.
Those prices make no sense tbh. I'd probably grab a Gaming OC at that point, or the Palit Dual OC. Haven't tested that one but I really doubt it'll be much worse than these other MSRP models.
Meanwhile the cheapest ones are 600€ or below in Germany, though often without Diablo, which of course has a big impact on effective pricing.
I seem to have found a new model nobody reviewed the non ti version of yet, asus proart series. I think of getting this one, windforce may be 50 bucks cheaper but I've heard many bad things about quality of gigabyte cards.
But what about the quality of conponents? I read that fans and vrm modules on the gigabyte card maybe be problematic compared with the Asus.
It's the MSI that's the problem with the low end components. The Gigabyte lineup is fine, with the ASUS being the best apparently.
That's the review that we need. Those and the Manli/ inno3d cards
That was a nice explanation, but I think that I will heed your warning and wait a little more until the price for these hit below $400
I picked up the gigabyte windforce model excellent open box at best buy for 479.99. Hope its good when it arrives.
love you videos =)
Thank you!
This video helped me decide, thanks! I went with the Asus.
Great show. Might be time buy.
Forgive my ignorance but what ASUS problem are you referring to? Is there a problem with the Dual 4070 card?
Something to do with how they handled some issues with the X3D CPUs and their motherboards. Nothing to do with the Dual.
@@TechTesters ugh!, I was scared, I thought it was something related to this card since I just bought it (the 4070 Dual).
Greetings and thanks for your videos.
Okay a few points regarding the RTX 4070 somehow being a "terrible deal"..
1.) The RTX 4070 cost $599.99 and is OBVIOUSLY optimally utilized via a 1440p monitor NOT "4K" and certainly not "4K max settings w/ ray tracing" GPU, this is a "mid-tier" GPU - It you want "top-tier" performance there is the RTX 4080 / 4090 which cost well over 1K so it is NOT rational to expect even remotely comparable performance for a GPU that cost 1/2 + the cost of a "top tier" GPU.
2.) Prices like it or not don't remain STATIC indefinitely - this is just a fact of how markets work, so this notion that the RTX 4070 is "overpriced" because in the past you got this % gain in "rasterization performance" vs. "X" GPU isn't really a rational argument and ignores many other variables.
3.) The RTX 4070 represents a ~ 30% rasterization performance leap vs. the RTX 3070 - 8 vs. 12GB VRAM - AV1 encoding - Far superior power efficiency/ ray tracing / DLSS / etc.
4.) Believe it or not GPU's aren't made for JUST 'gaming" - Nvidia basically has a monopoly here as it offers GPU's that work FAR better in general when it comes to production work, etc. There is "value" here like it not.
Finally, when you factor in ALL relevant variables, the RTX 4070 is simply NOT a "terrible deal" so the asking price of $599.99 isn't "out of line". I think the over the top commentary over the RTX 4070 somehow being a "rip off" is a perfect example of the "Bandwagon Effect" warping reality.
Of course this comment will be unpopular because people generally want something for nothing but sorry reality doesn't support this notion that the RTX 4070 is "overpriced" - it's simply not. The amount of blowback the RTX 4070 has been getting is simply bizarre / makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. You don't have to "love it" but it's not a "terrible deal".
"There is value here, like it or not" is a good summary :P
The issue is that each model down is cut down more and more to not endanger the incredibly expensive halo cards, and to not be too interesting for commercial customers who are also expected to pay ridiculous prices.
If you take Pascal: a 1060 6gb, 1070, 1080, 1080 ti all aged in a similar way. Only the 3gb 1060 is absolutely useless some years down the road.
The Ada cards are specced so that you "have to" replace them much sooner due to just having insufficient VRAM, plus the cuts to memory bandwidth are pretty steep too. The 4080 has ok VRAM but a crazy price, while anything below will age poorly.
I'm writing this as someone who is pretty likely to buy one, in the expectation that the 16GB 4060 will be either too slow or too expensive by comparison, and the 4070 Super refresh or 50x0 is too far off.
(Can't buy AMD because I'm vendor-locked by GSync.)
@@lkz The performance tier of the GPU's with 12GB's of VRAM isn't so high that VRAM should be an issue so dire that it makes the cards a "terrible deal" even if some AAA titles in the coming years force the owners of these GPU's to make "compromises" here and there like lowering the settings, using DLSS and so on. Also game developers can and should better "optimize" their games to run better on lower spec'd hardware.
There are always "compromises" one has to make when it comes to gaming on hardware that isn't the "top of the line" and newer games will naturally require more powerful hardware for the best possible performance. Not being able to "max out" every single game on a "mid-range" GPU doesn't somehow by default make the GPU a "rip off".
Also, I think this notion that a "mid-range" GPU having "just" 12GB of VRAM being such a catastrophe is unfounded and massively overexaggerated. I'm not saying no AAA game in the future will present an "issue" here but at the same time it's not likely to be an issue so dire as to make these 12GB mid-range GPU' "absolute crap" as so many reviewers have been making them out to be.
Now if a GPU like the RTX 4080 and above came equipped with 12GB of VRAM this would be an issue seeing as these cards can justify having 16GB+ VRAM giving the performance and associated cost of these GPU's.
On the contrary, one who spends just 1/2 the cost or less on a GPU shouldn't expect to see performance really even remotely comparable. Sure people would naturally like to but this is unfortunately not how things work.
Lastly, the price per performance matrix has only improved going from the RTX 4080 > 4070Ti > 4070 > 4060Ti > 4060 and yet the "outrage" has only gotten worse.. It's quite bizarre IMO.
Now Nvidia did screw up by not just giving BOTH the RTX 4060 / 4060Ti 12GB of VRAM - Giving the 4060Ti 16GB makes no sense and 8GB is actually "boarder line" when it comes to this performance tier.
I got the MSI ventus 3x OC
good review.
Thanks!
You deserve more views/subscribers!
The quality of your reviews is simply amazing!
Glad you think so 😃
today I installed the Asus Dual 4070 (my previous card was the Zotac 3070), I know that the jump is not that big but I prioritized the DLSS section and that it does not need so much power source. Beyond that I can only tell you that the card is spectacular, the temperatures are very low and in games I did not exceed 65 degrees Celsius at any time and the fans practically do not sound.
That's on the quiet BIOS, right?
@@lkz Exactly, when taking the card out of the package, it comes in the "silent" mode, I did not touch that section at all. I left it as it comes from the factory. Greetings
The jump in performance is more meaningful than some people would lead you to believe. Congrats on your purchase
Well done 👍✅.
Awesome review. Please review higher end 4070 next 👍
What about the asus tuf?
What about the KFA2 is that a good model ?
I haven’t seen a KFA2 card in a few years I’m afraid.
i just orderd one now, for the 4070, lets hope it will be at leaast running without trouble :D@@TechTesters
Just a heads-up, a nit-pick with the GIGABYTE card is that practically all 30/40 series GIGABYTE GPUs have PCB cracking issues if you have sag. A crack will form on the PCB and completely kill the card rendering it unusable and GIGABYTE are refusing to RMA said cards which is very scummy especially considering it's a fault in them using low-quality PCBs. It's all over the internet if you look for it, if you currently own a GIGABYTE 30/40 series card, PLEASE make sure you eliminate that sag by using a bracket or holder of some sorts, otherwise your card is eventually going to kick the bucket.
is there any real difference between 4070 asus dual oc vs non oc?
The OC in the name, performance wise they're the same.
Normally it should only be a couple of Megahertz between them. You can cover that gap with a small manual OC if you want to, although it's possible the actual OC version might clock a bit higher still if you tried.
I'd let it depend on the price difference.
I asked several Asus support agents and they said they can't find any.
I've also specifically asked that the Quiet mode works identically.
However, it's not impossible that one is more likely the better and the other the worse Nvidia binning. However I wouldn't know which way around those would be allocated either.
(The better bin needs lower wattage for the spec performance.)
Bought a rtx 4070 Asus dual wanted to swap my rtx 3060 now i get no signal and my pc doesn't start up but fans and RGB are working 🤬
Weird to see gigabyte 3fan is smaller than asus dual

I just got my Asus 3070 dual in white and i love it. Upgraded from gtx 1080
my favorite game of 2023 was indeed Howards Legacy 4:25
I'm tired of big cards. For mATX, and under it is one of the main restricting factors. I understand the reasoning, but I also understand diminishing returns. Some of these heatsinks are for aesthetics. You're lucky if you'll see a 1-3 degree difference.
sad that you didnt actually recorded the fan noise.
Awesome review of the 4070 series cards. I went with the Msi Gaming-x Trio 4070 based on your other review. I require the Rgb.
They are good cards, known for being quiet.
You require the rgb like you require an extra hole in your head
The Trio should be really quiet too, right? Any coil whine at high fps?
@@lkz No noise at all, Max temp I've reached while gaming is 71 C. And at this temp it was quiet but the gpu fans were running.
How is the card going? I am so tempted to get it
I just picked up the Asus dual oc and it seems like a great little "no thrills" work horse of a card. I paid £500 for it and it replaces a very noisy and hot running Palit 3070 gaming pro.
Enjoy!

You know 4070 can't have 16 GB because of the 192-bit bus. It can have 24 GB but that'd be overkill for a GPU this level.
Got the MSI Ventus 4070 for $400 brand new at Best buy! Totally worth lol.
Zotac deserves some love as well!!!
Should've put the 4070 Aorus Master there
Ah yes, the most MSRP of them all. 😅
Waiting for the 16 GB VRAM model.
Won't happen. Technically they could make a 24GB model but the chances of that happening are
Thanks for the video, I want to buy a rtx 4070. I want to use it for Blender rendering.
The energy costs aren't likely to be a big factor in overall price. The EU average is .28/kWh, so a 10W difference *at full load* (the difference between the ASUS and the MSI) equates to EU2.80 over 1000 hours of gaming, or roughly 20 hours/week for a year. Not really enough to be a factor in a purchasing decision.
Between the cards not so much, especially when there is some sample variance there as well. Between a 4070 and it's competition though is a different story.
@@TechTesters True, but (if memory serves) you made a point of highlighting differences in power draw between the three 4070 cards as a meaningful point of differentiation and I was commenting on that.
4070 ASUS - Should I go for ASUS OC or ASUS Standard ? both almost same price.

we need a chart with more cards. 24% over 3070 means it's not worth an upgrade
Pretty wild isn’t it, although frame generation is tempting, personally I’m skipping the 40 series, hoping 5000s offer a bit better value
I bought a Asus RTX 4070 OC it has not shipped yet. I got it do to I was tired of waiting and had the money. The release of the RTX 4060 8g was really disappointing and look for the 16g version of that card to be the same. AMD has not released a mid range RX7000 series card. Both the Nvidia RTX 4000 series and the AMD RX7000 series have the new AV1 encoders and that is why I bought mine not frame rates. Replied mid July 2023.
Agreed, the 4070 feels like the best option atm in that price range
I bought a Palit Dual OC RTX 4070. That one hast only 2 fans and uses only two slots. Sadly not tested here. I'm quiet satisfied with it.
thanks for helping me decided my choice
Ralphy says Hi!!!
🐕🐶
Gpus Are All The Same Unless They Have 3 Fans Instead Of 2,I Always Go For The 3 Fan 2.5 Slot Thickness As Well, Just Because It WORKS FOR ME😂
Thumbs up for the Legos!
Why not zotac, cheaper than all of them as well which has the same the same performance anyway.
I won’t ever buy MSI graphics cards ever again unless I get them super cheap. MSI graphics cards run very hot and trust me I have had multiple different MSI graphics cards and they all have the same issue.
Yeah the ventus series is known to be problematic. The gaming series 4070 cards are fine though.
GeForce WF have 85°C max on htospot
