NVIDIA RTX 5070
What works
- 20–25% faster at 1440p native rasterization
- DLSS 4 MFG for dramatically higher frame rates in supported titles
- More efficient Blackwell architecture at similar TDP
What doesn't
- 12 GB VRAM matches last-gen card — no VRAM upgrade
- Availability at MSRP was tight at launch
- Limited upgrade incentive for existing 4070 Super owners
NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super
What works
- Widely available at sub-$499 due to clearance pricing
- Mature driver ecosystem with no launch surprises
- 12 GB GDDR6X sufficient for all current 1440p gaming
What doesn't
- No DLSS 4 MFG — capped at DLSS 3 Frame Generation
- 20–25% slower native rasterization than the 5070
- Ada Lovelace architecture reaching end of NVIDIA's optimization focus
Bottom line
Our pick: NVIDIA RTX 5070.
