Excellent 1440p performance with headroom for DLSS at 4K
Stays quiet and cool even on dual-fan AIB designs
Single 8-pin power on most cards keeps cable work simple
Full DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction support
โ What we don't
12GB of VRAM is the floor for new releases at 4K
Pricing has crept up since launch and stock is sometimes thin
The bottom line The RTX 4070 Super is the most balanced 1440p GPU you can buy in 2026. 90 days of testing landed it above 100 fps in most modern titles at 1440p Ultra, with DLSS 3.5 stretching it into playable 4K territory. 12GB of VRAM is the only real concern for future-proofing, but it is enough for the games being shipped today. At $599 it is the volume pick we steer friends toward and the card that earns a recommend without an asterisk.
Value
At $599 the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super is the right Electronics in 2026.

Yes for nearly every current title. A few path-traced games at maximum textures will push past it, but DLSS solves most of those cases.
What PSU should I pair with it?+
A quality 650W unit is plenty. 750W gives transient headroom for a Core i7 or Ryzen 7 build.
Will the 4070 Super run 4K?+
Comfortably with DLSS Quality in most modern games. Native 4K Ultra is hit or miss in newer releases.
