Nvidia RTX 4070 Super Review

Just like the RTX 4070 Founders Edition we reviewed in April last year, the RTX 4070 Super Founders Edition ships in a fairly plain black box, with barely distinguishable branding on the front. The front of the box opens up to reveal the card sitting in the middle of the cardboard surround.

Inside, we find a few support guides and pieces of documentation, along with a dual 8-pin to 16-pin 12VHPWR adapter.

The design of the 4070 Super Founders Edition (FE) is almost identical to that of the vanilla 4070 FE, but this time Nvidia has gone very stealthy with the overall look – instead of gunmetal grey and silver accents, the 4070 Super has been ‘blacked out' using a combination of matte and glossy metal, and I have to say it looks fantastic.

That really is the only change to the OG 4070 FE, we're told the internal heatsink is exactly the same, and the 4070 Super retains the same 90mm fans in a push-pull configuration. These are still ‘counter rotating', so the fan on the underside of the card spins anti-clockwise, while the fan on the top spins clockwise.

As for dimensions, no change here versus the original 4070, so the card measures in at 244mm long, 112mm tall and is a standard dual-slot thickness. It weighed in on my scales at 1021 grams.

The front side of the card is home to the GeForce RTX logo, though this does not light up once powered on. The backplate is very stealthy and understated, you almost can't read the black RTX 4070 Super text – in my opinion this is the best-looking Founders Edition Nvidia has ever made.

Of course, it is still powered by a single 12VHPWR/PCIe Gen5 power connector, though a dual 8-pin adapter is included in the box. Display outputs are unchanged, with 3x DisplayPort 1.4 and 1x HDMI 2.1 connectors.
