Is The RTX 4070 Worth It? | Gigabyte Gaming OC Review & Gameplay Benchmarks

That would be cool if games gave you the option to turn on path tracing while in photo mode only. Also, more games need photo mode.

hi i just got a Zotac 4070 to replace my 3060 and i didnt change any of my other parts. i can only run APEX at high settings and i get max 110fps, what should i change to get 240 fps?

my setup:
Intel® Core™ i5-11400F Processor
Motherboard ASUS TUF B560M Plus WIFI LGA1200 Intel B560 M PLUS WIFI
VENGEANCE RGB PRO SL 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz
Kingston SSD
rm850 PSU COrsair

PLEASE HELP :)

Hey there!

Thanks for sharing this detailed breakdown of the RTX 4070's performance and your thoughts on it. It's great to see how it handles different games and resolutions. The fact that it offers solid performance at 1440p is definitely appealing, especially considering the price point.

I do have a couple of questions, though. You mentioned that the gigabyte 4070 card doesn't offer as good value for money as the founders edition. Could you elaborate on why that is the case? What specific differences or drawbacks do you see in the gigabyte version?

Additionally, you briefly mentioned that AMD cards tend to perform better in Warzone. Do you have any benchmark data or more insights on how the 4070 compares to AMD's offerings, particularly in games like Warzone?

Overall, your review provides valuable information for those considering the RTX 4070, and I appreciate your efforts in testing and sharing your findings. Looking forward to hearing more from you!

I finally found the Screech after all these years 😂

Every graphics card this generation is trash.

Building a new PC will be upgrading from a GTX 970 to a 4070

a whole review without talking about the looks and rgb? Weirddddddd

Just did my first PC build, and switched over to the 4070 after originally going with a 7800XT. Found a Gigabyte wind force model for the same price as the 7800 I had, and the addition of DLSS and better RT performance in single player games, plus the fact that it handles triple monitors in iRacing with a little more efficiency, made up for the 4gb of VRAM I'm giving up. COD runs worse, everything else seems to run better, and I got Alan Wake 2 for free! Thank god for the generous return policies at Micro Center!!

I just wasn't going to spend €820 for a "bare-bones" 4070 Ti, even though that's the card I actually wanted. The 4070 Gaming OC looked like a nice "semi-sensible downgrade"-option, although I usually don't go for these overbuilt coolers sitting on a middle of the road GPU. That said: I got the card for just €30 over what the cheapest 4070s would've cost (flash-sale) and I've been happy with my decision. The card will easily OC to nearly 3000 MHz and I also run it with an added 1000 MHz on the VRAM in Afterburner. Even with those settings, hotspot temps will only hit low 80°Cs while benchmarking - the card runs much cooler in games. Max power-limit is insanely high and can be set to 148% (around 300W if baseline is the 200W of the reference board). In the real world and with my OC, the card will draw just over 240W, even with power limit set to max. So... 300W is more of a "these go up to 11"-type of deal, but the card does allow higher power draw than the reference board.
On top of that: I really like the look of the card and it is very well built and feels solid. It is quite heavy (1.3, 1.4kg, IIRC) but it sits in my system without any sag. I probably wouldn't transport the PC with the card installed, though.

From my research into what manufacturer to go with: Do not buy the lower end MSI cards (Ventus line, basically). You'll pay more than for other brands, but the cooler MSI use on these isn't very well designed from what I found. It doesn't cover/touch all the VRMs for example and, IIRC, doesn't even allow airflow to those components. And that's true for both the 2 and 3 fan versions of the Ventus.

Can you stream, Record, and Video Edit with an AMD 7800 XT?

wish it was 600$, Here in Sweden 4070 is ~720-800$ and the 4070ti cost around 1100$...

i just ordered this card for 440 USD in excellent condition from bestbuy, looking forward to how this will be agaisnt the 6700xt

660$ in Ukraune :(

I've just bought a Lenovo system with this card. It hasn't arrived yet but i've noticed it's only got a 500W PSU in the spec. Is this possible? I've heard 4070's need a minimum of 650W.

wtf the card at the start is the size of a pc

as of october 2023 you can find the gigabyte 4070 for 50$ cheaper than the founders edition

im buying 4070 or 7800xt for 1080p, as i dont have monitor better nor i need kinda. 1080 for mee is sweetspot

another gay

This is the card I decided to upgrade to from the RTX 2070 super which seems very logical for me to do, as I'm heavily into stable diffusion.

I've got a z390 board with a asus strix 2060s and a 9600k i5. will this card run on my setup

you need to grow up. you're like a 5 year old.

What software did you use to show PCL latency on top-right?

I'm wondering how good the thermals ar on the gigabyte, I don't care if it's a little bit faster or slower, I just want to know it's thermals to see how long it can last without damaging itself from over heating

I have found the RTX 4070 is really good for 3D rendering in programs like Brice, Daz studio, and the IRAY render engine, (it also rendered really fast on 3D Studio Max, but i only had an upgrade trial copy because my licensed copy of 3DS Max is a decade old and is only used for modeling). My personal benchmark was of a scene I created specifically to punish the GPU's. I rendered the same scene in Daz Studio using the IRAY engine at 4k resolution with 4k textures on every object set for a total of 3500 iterations. My result for the 3 cards i have were the NVIDIA 2070 Super render time 6 hours and 43 min. The RTX 3070 was 3 hours and 22 min , and the RTX 4070 cut it down to 44 min total!!! (I was shocked as to how fast the 4070 rendered the scene) I made no changes to the file before rendering, so all three cards were rendering the exact scene with zero changes. I know this was not a formal bench test, but i thought I would share the results for the 3D modelers out there since most card reviews focus on games vs 3D programs. Hope the info helps the modelers out there in the market for an upgrade.

i have a asus 3070ti so this wont be worth the price right?

who tf is obi juan

I didn't wait for AMD because not only FPS that matters, but also the power consumption. I highly doubt that AMD will offer better performance to power ratio. Also I waited for 7 years, so it's about time to update from 1060 3GB to 4070 12GB.

why suddenly use Framegeneration in the comparison only if RT is activated. Use framegeneration in RT off comparison too, show with and without values or dont use it at all.

What cpu are you using?

thank you so much for these videos!! doing a lot of research as I'm building my first ever PC!!! Really considering the 4070 since i wanna use it for gaming and streaming and this card fits my budget!

I was more disturbed by the `shaky monitor` and `GPU` while they stand, than your moving body while presentation... 😬
You should change that desk... 😬

I think its efficiency is being crazy overlooked by everyone

Anyone know the Hotspot and MEM Temps?

Still glad I bought a 6700xt!!! She should last at least another generation.

annoying and british...

Got mine slightly more expensive than a 4060 ti and that is worth it, but at msrp, nah get a 6950xt or smth if ur psu can handle it if u rly dont care about RT and dlss and frame gen, or the 4060 ti 16gb if on a tighter budget and wanna keep the card for years

Well I'm still playing games with 8gb.
The 6gb cards still run plenty of games well.
People like to get their knickers in a twist.

Bro. Is this guy on LSD?

Hi just a quick question, can these 16-pin powered GPUs can be powered using 2 8-pin connectors? Just curious, I’m thinking of building a custom PC using some custom cables.

How is the founders when it comes to noise?

The founders Edition is so good. So small and low temps. Why would you get this big 3 fans behemoth? It’s ugly, big and unneccessarily long.

I envy you guys, who can buy 4070 for 600$, I’ve payed 770$ for it in Ukraine, and it is the cheapest I can get.

I have heard that the MSI Ventud 3X 4070 has problems due to temperatures in its hotspots, lack of screws and pads, is that true? This costs the same, does it have the same problems?

bought asus dual for 915$ cad. ouch.

Not gonna lie, thought I was being drunk and stupid at best buy when I bought this as an upgrade from my 2070S. But I really do enjoy the card. I mostly play flight sims, which is why I wanted to upgrade (The 2070S ran everything on ultra 1440p just fine) except for my flight sims. I noticed an at least 60% increase with this card on DCS, X-Plane 12, and maybe 35-40% in MSFS. Which is perfect! DCS is the sim I really cared about. But throwing other games at it, it seems to run them even better than ever! I skipped the 3x series cards, but if you're in the market for a decently cheap card, this is the one!

No. 🤣

Love how he says "if you like game X" you could always buy this other card!" I would NEVER change my card for ONE game! Also, in this energy crisis, a card that is the lowest in power usage is a good buy, just for that!

Where is the data for the rx 6900xt and the rx 6950xt? It seems kinda weird they went with a 192 bits wide memory bus for a "70 class" card. Why the sudden downgrade compared to previous generation 70 class cards? Hmmm I wonder.

Inno3d ichill x3 rtx 4070ti vs gigabyte rtx 4070ti gaming oc which is best brand to get
