Is the RTX 4070 Super 12GB right for you?
If you want strong 1440p ultra gaming with DLSS 3 Frame Generation at the lowest sensible 4070 SUPER price, and you find it at a discount versus current-gen options, the PNY delivers.
If you want DLSS 4 multi-frame generation, the RTX 5070 has it. If 16GB VRAM matters, the RX 9070 offers it at competitive pricing. The 4070 SUPER's 12GB and DLSS 3 are the constraints.
Before you buy
Yes at a clear discount versus the RTX 5070 or RX 9070. It remains a strong 1440p ultra card with DLSS 3 Frame Generation. At full RRP, the current-gen options with DLSS 4 or 16GB VRAM make more sense.
Similar 1440p performance, with the 5070 adding DLSS 4 multi-frame generation and GDDR7 memory. The 4070 SUPER is more power-efficient at 220W. Pick based on pricing and whether DLSS 4 matters.
Gaming performance is identical, since all 4070 SUPER cards use the same chip. PNY's value positioning means simpler cooling than premium partner cards, but it handles the 220W TDP fine.
650W is the realistic floor. Most existing quality 650W or higher PSUs will run this card without issue, helped by the modest 220W TDP.
