The GeForce RTX 4070 is one of the most anticipated graphics cards of the current generation. Positioned in the middle between the almighty RTX 4090 and the still unreleased RTX 4050, which will be the cheapest option of this generation, this 4070 RTX is the entry point to the high-end and, therefore, the most balanced option for those who look for a more than remarkable performance for a reasonable economic investment.
To celebrate its launch, today we have published the reviews of two very interesting models. On the one hand we have NVIDIA’s reference design, the GeForce RTX 4070 Founders Edition, a model that will serve to establish comparisons with the models of the main manufacturers, which always tend to offer a little more performance thanks to the use of their own cooling technologies. , overclocking, etc.
We have also been able to test one of the cards that GIGABYTE has announced today, and that we will review below, the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 WindForce OC, a perfect example of what I indicated previously, the way in which manufacturers start from the reference design but they add their own technologies to it to, as a result, offer components that exceed the performance of the original design.
So, if you want to know everything about the new RTX 4070, and although we will inform you soon about the models of other manufacturers, I highly recommend that you see the two reviews that we have published today, since the combination of these publications will provide you with a very complete vision of this new and expected model of the RTX 40 series.
As I indicated, we have tested one of the models presented by GIGABYTE, but the truth is that the company has made a great display for this launch, with no less than five models. Thanks to such a variety, users will be able to find the option that best suits their specific needs. Let’s see, one by one, the five versions designed by the company for its GeForce RTX 4070.
AORUS GeForce RTX 4070 MASTER 12G
This model marks the debut of new fan blades with a special surface design, which in combination with the fan increases static pressure by up to 30% and reduces noise level by up to 3dB. This technology, in combination with its large angled finned heatsink module and vapor chamber, provide a suite of heat management technologies that allow for the ultimate in GPU performance.
It has a dual BIOS, which will facilitate the use of different configurations depending on the use that we are going to make of the system at all times, and it has multiple improvements in both design and materials to guarantee its resistance and durability over time. In addition, for lovers of LED lighting, it has an improved version of the triple ring RGB lights, a characteristic of the brand.
GeForce RTX 4070 AERO OC 12G
Visually, this AERO OC is, without a doubt, the most striking option, precisely because of its sober and discreet design, based on white and silver details, a success for systems with a more minimalist design, as well as those that opt for the white. But this does not mean giving up colour, as the logo on the card’s sidek has been made with a special material that shows a rainbow effect, also combined with RGB lights.
Beyond its looks, this model employs the WINDFORCE cooling system, features three unique blade fans, alternate rotation, large copper plate with direct contact with the GPU, heat pipes, 3D active fans, and display cooling to maximize heat dissipation. A switch allows users to quickly toggle between High Performance mode and Quiet mode, which provides a quieter experience without the need for additional software.
GeForce RTX 4070 GAMING OC 12G
This GIGABYTE model focuses on performance and stability, as usual in this series, with a classic design. It features three unique blade fans, alternate rotation, large copper plate with direct contact to the GPU, heat pipes, 3D active fans, and display cooling to maximize heat dissipation. This GAMING OC also features Graphene nano-lubricant in the fans, built-in dual BIOS, improved metal backplate, excellent power phase design, and ULTRA DURABLE certified components.
GeForce RTX 4070 EAGLE OC 12G
For users who like more innovative designs, this EAGLE OC may be their best option, and the same can be said for those looking for a slightly smaller card than usual. Once again, we find reliable Windforce cooling system with three unique blade fans, reciprocating composite copper heat pipes with direct contact with the GPU, 3D active fans and display cooling thermal design to improve heat dissipation.
GeForce RTX 4070 WINDFORCE OC 12G
The entry point to the RTX 4070 family by GIGABYTE, we can tell you about this little new card, since as I indicated at the beginning of this article, we have tested it in depth (believe me, you will find an incredibly complete review), so my recommendation, especially if you are considering opting for this model, is that you review said test in detail.
