The start of a new year means updating our graphics with the latest drivers and adding new games to our test protocol. As you can imagine, this takes time, and the graphics will continue to expand over the coming weeks, with older-generation cards being added as we go along. Today, we’re going to focus on the new RTX 4070 SUPER in TUF Gaming OC version from ASUS, announced last week for the launch of CES 2024. Other “SUPER” models will be arriving in the course of January, and we’ll of course be there to test the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and the RTX 4080 SUPER.
This new card, even if it’s more accurate to call it a “refresh”, will take its place in our test table in 1440p definition. NVIDIA will also be keeping the RTX 4070 model even with the arrival of this RTX 4070 SUPER, but it’s the RTX 4070 Ti that will see its production run come to an end. It’s at the price level that there will be a change. The RTX 4070 SUPER Founders Edition has an MSRP of $599 (659 euros), the former price of the RTX 4070 Founders Edition, which now costs $549. So there are sure to be some bargains to be had in the weeks ahead. The price of this ASUS TUF RTX 4070 SUPER in OC version is announced by ASUS at 844.99 euros.
On Monday we received a second partner card, the GIGABYTE RTX 4070 SUPER Gaming OC, which we’ll be testing as soon as possible. Thanks to ASUS for providing us with a sample of this ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 4070 SUPER 12 GB OC.
