GeForce RTX 4070 Super

Model frame rate limits of 138, 106 and 64 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, assuming the processor never gets in the way.

The GeForce RTX 4070 Super is a high-end graphics card in our database and a high-refresh 1440p card that can handle 4K at tuned settings or with upscaling.

Its 12GB of memory is comfortable at 1440p today, with less headroom at 4K.

Its closest AMD rival is the Radeon RX 7900 GRE, which lands within a few percent of it at 1440p.

Estimated FPS in Popular Games

Game (settings) 1080p1440p4K
Cyberpunk 2077 (High, no ray tracing) ~110~85~50
Fortnite (High, DirectX 12) ~180~140~85
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (High) ~160~120~75
Counter-Strike 2 (High) ~330~255~155

Modelled estimates with a processor fast enough not to hold the card back, rounded to the nearest 5 FPS. Counter-Strike 2 is usually limited by the processor well before these figures. See the methodology for how they are produced.

The slowest CPU that will not hold it back

1080p Core i5-12400 132
1440p Ryzen 5 3600X 103
4K Ryzen 5 1600 64

Notice how the requirement drops as resolution rises. At 4K this card is working so much harder per frame that a far slower processor keeps up without trouble. The search starts at four cores and eight threads: below that a game stutters whatever the average frame rate says.

Common Questions

What CPU do I need for the GeForce RTX 4070 Super?

At 1440p, the Ryzen 5 3600X is the slowest processor that keeps the GeForce RTX 4070 Super fully fed. At 1080p the card can run faster, so you need more: the Core i5-12400 or better.

Is the GeForce RTX 4070 Super good for 1440p?

Yes. It averages around 106 FPS at 1440p on high settings in our model, enough for a high-refresh monitor in most games.

Is 12GB of VRAM enough on the GeForce RTX 4070 Super?

For 1440p, yes. 12GB handles high textures at 1440p today; at 4K with ray tracing a few games already want more.

Is the GeForce RTX 4070 Super faster than the Radeon RX 7900 GRE?

They are effectively tied, within 0% at 1440p in our model. Price, memory (12GB against 16GB) and features should decide it.
