Third-party reviews

What customers like about ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Super

Exceptional thermal performance with low operating temperatures even under heavy load
Extremely quiet operation due to high-quality axial-tech fans
Rugged and sturdy build quality featuring a metal shroud and backplate
Significant performance boost over the standard RTX 4070, capable of smooth 1440p and entry-level 4K gaming
Excellent power efficiency relative to its performance level
Subtle and tasteful RGB lighting that doesn't overwhelm the aesthetic

What customers don't like about ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Super

Large physical dimensions (3.15-slot thickness) may make it difficult to fit in smaller cases
Priced at a premium compared to base MSRP models and some AMD competitors
Memory is limited to 12GB, which some users find low for a card in this price tier
Requires a 16-pin 12VHPWR power connector, necessitating an adapter for older power supplies
Software like Armoury Crate can be cumbersome to use for controlling lighting

Verdict

The ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is a high-performance 1440p graphics card built on NVIDIA's Ada Lovelace architecture, featuring 7,168 CUDA cores and 12GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus. This model is engineered with a 3.15-slot design, utilizing three Axial-tech fans for 21% more airflow and military-grade 20K capacitors for enhanced durability. Key advantages include its robust all-metal shroud, efficient thermal performance with sub-60°C operating temperatures under load, and exceptional support for DLSS 3.5 and advanced ray tracing. However, some users may find its large 301mm physical footprint challenging for smaller cases, and it carries a price premium over MSRP models despite having relatively limited VRAM for long-term 4K gaming.
