Gaming performance

With an index of 71/100, the NVIDIA RTX 4070 is a high-end card aimed at 1440p with high settings and 4K with optimised settings. At 1080p it reaches very high frame rates, ideal for high-refresh monitors.

VRAM: what resolutions it handles

With 12 GB of VRAM it is comfortable at 1440p with high textures and holds up well at 4K in most titles. The most memory-hungry modern games (open worlds with ultra textures) already recommend 12 GB, making this amount a future-proof investment.

Technologies & features

As a recent RTX generation, it supports DLSS 3 with Frame Generation, hardware-accelerated ray tracing and NVIDIA Reflex for latency reduction. DLSS upscaling gains 40-70% FPS with minimal visual quality loss, extending the card's useful life.

Frequently asked questions

Is the NVIDIA RTX 4070 good for gaming in 2026?

Yes. With an FPSpilot index of 71/100, the NVIDIA RTX 4070 performs well in current games. It is suited to 1440p and even 4K with optimised settings.

How much VRAM does the NVIDIA RTX 4070 have and is it enough?

It has 12 GB of VRAM. Enough for 1440p and 4K with high textures in current games.

What power supply do I need for the NVIDIA RTX 4070?

For a card of this tier a quality 750-850 W power supply (80 Plus Gold or better) is recommended, leaving headroom for transient power spikes and the rest of the components.

Is the NVIDIA RTX 4070 worth it versus newer alternatives?

Launched in 2023, it only makes sense at a clearly lower price than current cards of similar performance, which add more modern upscaling technologies, lower power draw and full warranty. On the second-hand market it can be a reasonable option if the price is right.
