Nvidia RTX 4070 Super Review

Here we present power draw figures for the graphics card-only, on a per-game basis for all twelve games we tested at 1440p. This is measured using Nvidia's Power Capture Analysis Tool, also known as PCAT. You can read more about our updated power draw testing methodology HERE.

Per-Game Results at 1440p:

12-Game Average at 1440p:

Stepping up to 1440p, we do see average power draw increase at this resolution, with a new figure of 210.6W. That's still below the 220W TGP, and marks an increase of about 17W compared to the vanilla RTX 4070. Some games do draw more than this, such as Alan Wake II and Cyberpunk 2077 as you can see above, but plenty of games saw power draw below 200W.

Ray tracing results

As a bonus, we now include the power figures for all six games we test with ray tracing enabled.

8-Game ray tracing average:

Likewise for ray tracing games, average power draw hit 215.7W, roughly on par with the RX 6700 XT.
