RTX 4070 Ti Super💲799💲799
RTX 4070💲599💲529
Difference25.03%33.79%

The RTX 4070 has fallen in price due to the release of the RTX 4070 Super while also being slightly discounted on some variants. This makes the value proposition of these cards not as clear-cut. Yes, the RTX 4070 Ti Super does give you more framerate per dollar, but some people might find that the RTX 4070 suits their budget.


What We Recommend

RTX 4070 Ti Super: The RTX 4070 Ti Super outperforms the RTX 4070 significantly, especially in 1440p gaming. It’s a solid choice for those with a budget for high-performance GPUs, offering the flexibility to indulge in 4k gaming with adjusted settings. 

RTX 4070: The fully decked-out version of its card puts its vanilla counterpart to shame, at least in gaming performance. The RTX 4070 does have some advantages that allow it to be a better budget card, like needing a smaller power supply and having a lower price tag.

We were impressed with the performance of the RTX 4070 Ti Super vs RTX 4070, but the decision to buy either card depends on how much you can stretch your budget. Either way, you’ll get your money’s worth in the new GPU hierarchy set by Nvidia.
