RTX GeForce 4070 SUPER
The GeForce RTX 4070 Super is a powerful graphics card from NVIDIA that was released in January 2024. It is an improved version of the RTX 4070 and is designed for gamers and professionals who seek high performance in games and work tasks.
Development and announcement
NVIDIA unveiled the GeForce RTX 4070 Super at CES 2024. The card went on sale on January 17, 2024, with a suggested retail price of $599, which is the same as the original RTX 4070's launch price. The goal of the release was to offer higher performance in the mid-price segment, especially in tasks requiring ray tracing and the use of artificial intelligence technologies.
Architecture
The GeForce RTX 4070 Super is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and uses the AD104-350-A1 GPU. Named after mathematician Ada Lovelace, the architecture represents a significant advancement over the previous Ampere architecture.

Key features of the Ada Lovelace architecture include:
-
5 nm process technology: Using TSMC's 5nm process technology allows more transistors to be packed into a smaller area, improving performance and energy efficiency.
-
Increased number of transistors: The AD104 GPU contains 35,8 billion transistors, providing high computing power.
-
Support for new technologies: The architecture supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, including features such as ray tracing, variable rate shading (VRS), and mesh shaders, improving visuals and performance in modern games.
-
Optimization for AI: The inclusion of the latest generation Tensor Cores enables the efficient use of AI-based technologies such as DLSS 3.
As a result, the Ada Lovelace architecture delivers significant performance and feature gains over previous generations, making the RTX 4070 Super an excellent choice for demanding users.

These improvements over the original RTX 4070 provide significant performance gains, especially in ray tracing and DLSS-based tasks.
Performance
In gaming tests, the RTX 4070 Super shows a 14-17% performance increase over the RTX 4070. In games with ray tracing and DLSS support, the difference becomes even more noticeable. For example, in Resident Evil 4 With DLSS 3 and ray tracing enabled, the RTX 4070 Super delivers a more consistent 100+ FPS on high settings at 1440p, while the RTX 4070 hovers around 85-90 FPS.
In other games such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 2, the RTX 4070 Super shows confident results thanks to the increased number of RT cores and improved DLSS 3 performance. For tasks involving video processing and 3D modeling, the increased number of CUDA cores and Tensor cores also results in faster and more efficient performance.
Competitors
At the time of the RTX 4070 Super's release, its main competitors were the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT and RX 7900 GRE. In games without ray tracing, the RX 7800 XT was able to deliver similar or even better performance, especially at 1440p. However, with ray tracing enabled and DLSS 3 enabled, the RTX 4070 Super was significantly ahead of the competition, delivering higher FPS and stability.
Additionally, with more efficient power consumption and support for modern technologies, the RTX 4070 Super has become the preferred choice for many users looking for a balance between price and performance.
