What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.6 for now.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Kuroutoshikou GeForce RTX 4070 Super Galakuro Gaming

  • High performance-to-price ratio compared to previous 4070 models
  • Excellent cooling and quiet operation thanks to the proprietary 'WINGS' dual-fan design
  • Massive FPS boost for 1440p gaming, often doubling performance from older cards like the RTX 2080
  • Effective AI acceleration for creative tasks like image generation and video editing (DaVinci Resolve)
  • Reliable 3-year warranty which is generous compared to some competitors
  • Standard dual-slot form factor makes it easier to fit into most PC cases

What customers don't like about Kuroutoshikou GeForce RTX 4070 Super Galakuro Gaming

  • 12GB of VRAM may be a potential bottleneck for high-resolution 4K textures in future titles
  • Power consumption is slightly higher (220W) than the standard non-Super version
  • Limited to a 192-bit memory interface, which can restrict 4K performance scaling
  • Physical switch for LED control is manually operated on the card, rather than exclusively via software

Verdict

The Kuroutoshikou GeForce RTX 4070 Super Galakuro Gaming is a high-performance graphics card built on the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, featuring 7,168 CUDA cores, 224 Tensor cores, and 56 RT cores with a boost clock of 2,475 MHz. It is equipped with 12GB of GDDR6X VRAM on a 192-bit bus, delivering a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s and a floating-point performance of 35.48 TFLOPS. Key pros include exceptional 1440p gaming performance, support for advanced AI features like DLSS 3.0 Frame Generation, and a relatively compact dual-slot design with a TDP of 220W for high energy efficiency. However, potential cons include a somewhat limited 12GB VRAM buffer for long-term 4K future-proofing and the use of the 12VHPWR power connector which may require an adapter for older power supplies.
