Not What I expected - Galax RTX 4070 EX Gamer Tested
Nvidia’s new graphics cards are absolutely insane. In fact one of them can be around a 100% improvement which may be the largest ever seen in a single generation. The question is should you buy these new RTX GPUs, or are you better off buying second hand cards.

I do not think people buying 4070+ are worried about few extra dollars on power bill at least not the vast majority

[mcslimz]

Air conditioner running up my electric bill . Video card is the least of my worries LoL.

[AvroBellow]

I remember laughing about the 10GB of VRAM because Far Cry 6's HD texture pack required 11GB. It was one of the MANY reasons that I chose the RX 6800 XT.

[thatbritishgamer]

its amazing the efficiency you get when you slap a 4070 badge on what should of been a 4060

[epoul]

40 series could have been the best generational upgrade if nvidia didn't price it like the mining boom was still around or had not held back it's cards to make the 4090 look like the best price to performance on the line up

[airspire]

Thnx for your efficiency testing. Didnt know that these 4070 had so much potential lowering the power draw that much. This is 1070 territory. Even better than 4060ti by 25% more performance at that power level. Best sweet spot.

[infinityzr]

My only gaming space is my upstairs bedroom and I definitely appreciate lower power parts. Ada is a banger for sure

[Krashulka]

Are they the specs for the 4070 running 4k at 150 watts ?, you didn't show the resolution when showing the specs. Cheers

[aaz]

Absolutely accurate. I have an RTX 4080 laptop. It's the same chip as the desktop 4070 but with more cuda cores enabled. It runs at 150W and matches the performance of a full power desktop 4070 card. The efficiency is amazing

[rekoj]

4080 is very efficient with power too. Maybe more than the 4070

[hoangtudaden]

Tbf, 4070 was not as bad as people say it out to be. It was put at a wrong price, that's all there is to it.

[uwtm]

I do not understand why 4070 Ti costs this much. As well as why does 4060 has a 16GB version now, but 4070 Ti is stuck with 12

[mattirealm]

IDK, Nvidia sucks. There is no easy answer. I can just say I think the 4070 Ti would have been better at 699 and the 4070 at 499. The prices are terrible still, but not so far out of the range. 4060 Ti should be like 359 8gb and 399 16GB and 4060 should be 279 IMO. Watch HUB's review of the 4060 Ti 16GB and laugh with Steve! It is terrible value proposition.

[MrHeadquarters]

Also I like the 40 series bc they run cooler temps.. my 3080ti would run at 75c but my 4090 runs the sane game at like 48c

[mrdappernature]

I dont care about my power bill. Its hot down here in the South. AC runs 24hrs out of day to cool my top and bottom floor house.

[ThreaT]

Unless someone is rocking a power supply that would need to be replaced in order to run a 3080, I don't think power efficiency matters to anyone. It may matter at the very high end, like a 3090 or 4090, but other than that I think the only thing that matters is the performance. Also GPUs don't usually just die, the used market is viable, where 3080's are going for just over 400 bucks. Everyone has their own situation, but either way the 4070 is overpriced for what you are actually getting. It's a nearly 600 dollar 3080 with cut corners over 2 years later. It's not that impressive. If all we ever got was previous gen performance for 100 dollars cheaper, the GPU market and the gaming industry would never even exist. This card was a failure for it's price range. I mean there is literally nothing in the previous 700 dollar MSRP range for Nvidia. You have to spend significantly more to get a 4070 Ti, and anything below is a 3080 that was far cheaper to manufacture. I refuse to normalize this stuff. I know people are fatigued about the complaining and the GPU market, but this is just bad, even for Nvidia. The previous 700 dollar model, the 3080, is a $1, 200+ GPU. Let that sink in. 500 dollars more in MSRP in one generation with nothing to write home about on the incrased performance charts.

[NathanOakley]

I love my 4070, upgraded from a 3070.

[starlightHT]

Sorry to throw some water on the fire. But the 3080 can also be undervolt. And it easily goes down to 220W without losing a lot of fps in the game (less than 5%). And it costs $400 plus change on the used market.... I don't see any reason for so much fuss. And if it is in percentage the undervolt with the same fps the 3080 is more effective to lower 37% and the 4060 ti I mean the 4070 is around 29%.

[nick-dogg]

I didn’t get a used 3080 or a new 4070, I went with a used 4070! The main reason why I got it for is power efficiency. I might have to try undervolting mines after watching this video!
