I have that same thermometer/humidity meter lol. Bluetooth app with max min humidity's sorta nice, but loads slow and sometimes off by 1%. Still, a very good humidity meter for its low price. I recommend it!

More on topic, lol, I'm either getting the super version of this gpu, or the more expensive Msi Gaming X slim 4070 Super.

3 small fans only 261mm long. Is this better than the Asus dual fans only two fans but larger at 267mm long?

its a 1080p GPU in my eyes in 2024, i like playing at native over 60fps and in 1440p in the games i would play won't do it anymore

[thatonehokage]

i have the 3060 variant of this card its the 12gb oc one are they the same size card or is the 4070 thicker?

[eikbolha]

Would you recomendet 1440p LCD monitor with 360hz or oled 1440p with 240hz even tho oled is extremly expensive

[etissite]

What’s the best gpu and cpu for 1080 gaming . This card might be overkill for it maybe

[mcroman-superfeat]

Would be good IF TEST Rendering etc. to see the REAL Performance, please... of this GPU 4070 ...

[kingofstamps]

i´m using rtx4070 asus from day one, it´s pretty good,
if you build new pc, RTX 4070 TI would be a good choice,
happy buying

[Urkzilla]

i had the 4070 ti variant got for just under £700 it was a great card i can imagine the normal 4070 and 4070 super is also great tho

[KorGaming_Ghost]

Idk the. Hate of this card but yes i would of buy it 10 more times again
Its a great 1440p card anyways
12gb more than enough people just dont no wtf they want..everything for them is ultra graphics with rt on
But come on 1440p eith frame gen and dlss on is good, even the 5090 going up will still have this feature, doesnt matter if u hate it or not its a wonderfull card sorry

[careditor]

Will this work better with Amd or Intel cpus ? I guess I don't play hard enough my fans NEVER turn on... What test program is that? Is it free? thanks mate...

[ElGoogKO]

is this the 4070 or 4070 super?...the simple is not worth

[stayfrostyfrosty]

Why Zotac 4070 and Super is cheaper than other 4070 brands?

[QuanTanRs]

what motherboard are you using for amd?

[gagecumella]

Its $550 right now on Amazon, thinking of picking one up for my brother’s rig he currently has a 1060. Is this a good deal?

[GeniusEliteZ]

i bought this card 2 months ago, but i decided to send this back and buy 4070ti super instead.
and i can tell the 4070ti super is so much better than the 4070, especally on my 1440p Dual Monitors. i do not recommand the 4070, its way to overpriced for its "power"

[strawberrymilkshake]

Is it gonna be too small in the nzxt h6 flow case?

[Ladioz]

Please include GPU and CPU usage in the overlay. you have everything listed but those :D
PS. The 4070 is my favorite Nvidia card. The price was it's own enemy

[etissite]

I like this card . I have 12700k and 3070. I want to upgrade either the cpu to 13700kf or the 3070 to 4070. Not sure which one to upgrade for even better performance for 1080p gaming .what would you do other than don’t upgrade ?
