The RTX4070 Is Actually Good | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Gaming OC 12G

Today we take a look at the Gigabyte RTX4070 Gaming OC 12GB graphics card to see if the internet is right when they say that this is a bad graphics card.
Now the RTX 40 series line-up has been getting a bad rep for it's price to performance ratio, but when you actually take a look at how good the RTX4070 performs, it is still a really great card and a really great option for people looking to play newer titles and still get great frames.

ordered a Gigabyte Aero OC 4070 8 days ago, hopefully will have it tomorrow. I play with white and black in my case, my cpu cooler is white version of shadow rock 3. It will accompany my 5600X with 32gigs of ram. I will replace a GTX780!!! So the performance gain is 400% more or take... I pick this over 4060ti 16gb cause of memory bus 128 bit. I also purchased a p5 plus by crucial nvme ssd for starfield and finally I got a premium sleeved corsair white 12pin cable and a coolermaster ARGB gpu anti-sag holder (the tempered glass one)... A nice upgrade.

[@Jacqie]

Those are some great upgrades you have made. I hope you enjoy your new setup.

[@threecards2002]

it's a pretty solid card since i've upgraded my pc from i5 4460 and gtx 950 to i7 13700kf and 4070 ddr4 32gb, thanks for the video great review

[@Jacqie]

Those are some massive upgrades, so firstly congrats on the new build and thank you, glad you enjoyed the video

[@MP.iedlourde]

I bought a used EVGA 1080 right in the thick of the whole GPU shortage thing and paid an embarrassing amount of money for it. Fortunately it worked fine for me for as long as I had it in my machine. I upgraded to one of these recently and have no regrets.

[@Jacqie]

The 1080s are still so powerful, but glad you are happy with your upgrade

[@noway9303]

​@@Jacqiemy 1070ti though can play nothing above 40fps!!

[@kaloyanbaychev7805]

​@@Jacqiemy setup is the following: I-Core 5 12600, Gigabyte Z690 UHD motherboard with 32 GB DDR4, Aorus Gigabyte 1200W Platinum 80 Plus power supply, 256 GB Samsung SSD for the Windows 11 Pro, 1 TB harddrive, 1 TB XPG nvme SSD, and, of course, the RTX 4070 12 GB OC of Gigabyte, which I haven't had the chance to test out yet, but I recently installed it. The funny part is, the RTX doesn't come with the RGB at all, or at least, it doesn't lit up and I also don't see the customisation option in the control app... Is this normal or am I missing something?

[@phantom11752]

Just ordered a 4070 today with a Ryzen 7 5700X and waiting for it to arrive. Upgrading from a i7 2600 and 1060 3GB. Cant wait to try it out 😊

I bought mine during a mini-sale and got it at a "slightly-less-ludicrous" price (I refuse to use the term "good price" WRT GPUs these days... they're all still way too expensive, IMO). Anyway: I really like the Gigabyte. Upgraded from the GB 3070 Eagle and the added 4 GB of VRAM alone do make a difference in some games. Of course: The card is also faster overall and did help me quite a bit in VR. My alternative would've been any old RTX 4070 Ti, but since I also wanted to upgrade my PSU to a more powerful and ATX 3.0 compliant one (no need to use the cable-adapter with an ATX 3.0), I went with the 4070 and a bequiet Straight Power 12 750W. My only indulgence was to go for the Gaming OC and not some lower end 4070 from Palit or Galax/KFA. The card is pretty damn big for its class, but that means that oversized cooler really has no trouble keeping the temps in check. I managed a manual +125 MHz OC (effectively raising the clock speed to over 2900 MHz) on the GPU and +1000 MHz on the VRAM and even with that, hotspot temp in stress-tests sits at just over 80°C - while gaming temperatures are much, much lower. I also managed an UV/OC to 2670 MHz at 0.95V which dropped power-draw and temps quite a bit. Even with the UV, the card still runs great in Baldur's Gate 3 at 1440p on "High" preset with DLAA enabled. The insanely high power-target you can set with this card seems a bit pointless... even with the most ambitious, stable overclock I tried, the card never drew more than 240, 245 W tops - and it constantly runs into Voltage limitations anyway once you get into that territory. I *think* the cooler could handle more, but I suspect that even if you could push the card beyond 240W, the performance gains would be negligible.

[@itaisasson1327]

Ordered this card today to super exited

Me too 😁

Hi there. Great video. Just wondering, could you provide the brand/model of the white case you are using? It looks really sleek! :)

[@Jacqie]

It is the CMT380W from FSP

[@Clints-Vloggingdirector]

Hi there this video help me to purchase a 4070s gpu I was wondering will a Ti perform better or OC which is good for content creation?

[@Jacqie]

The OC's are usually slightly better because they come pre overclocked from the factory with a slight boost, the Ti is also better, but I would suggest watching a video perhaps where the compare a non ti to a ti just to see for yourself the difference

[@Clints-Vloggingdirector]

@@Jacqie Hi there just wondering have u tried with Davinci Resolve as in tracking?

[@gonzza35]

hi.how did you turn on rgb light on 4070 ? i have eagle os tried fusion 2.0 not workin at all,help pls

[@Jacqie]

So on the 4070 the fan lights only turn on when the fans are spinning, so they are moatly off in idle

[@eddieed9831]

but what about gigabyte sign @@Jacqie

[@Jacqie]

@@eddieed9831 that should be on at all times. Download Gigabyte Conrol Center to control the rgb

[@gonzza35]

already did but for some reason no rgb option for my 4070 eagle os

[@Jacqie]

@@gonzza35 In Gigabyte control center if you click on the GPU you can go to the top right and select RGB fusion. In that menu you can change the RGB for all your compatible products and have them sync if needed.

[@michaelmaness5493]

I have an ASUS TUFF 4070 .. I like it, works well for me. Plus, it's cheaper than a 4070ti. And I do like the additional VRam.

[@Jacqie]

That is great to hear. Yeah the 4070 for me is at a greap price point compared to the rest of the series, but provides you with great overall performance

[@psycho4610]

hey , i have open budget but i dont want to build a pc that over my use so i am thinking of 2 things first i am waiting the 14th gen so first combo is 19 14900k with 4070 , or the 17 14700k for the 4080 or at least 4070 ti , the idea is i take i9 14900k and 4070 is to wait the new 5000 gpu and get better one so i upgrade the gpu in at least 2 years then i have good pc for almost another 4 years , the other idea is to stay with the i7 14700k and 4080 for almost 5 or 6 years then upgrade to better ( btw money is not a problem here ) i just need a pc for almost 5 to 6 years with out any problems , forgot to say that i am not a only gamer but i do edit and use PS and AP and do stream while playing so what is ur advice for me

[@Sn4p_Fps]

i7-14700k + 4080 or 4070ti , i9 is never worth the price

[@ForceFreddy]

Quick question. There are lots of 4070s, but they all seem to have the same performance. Some are $800 and some $600. I think the ROG is the most expensive one. What exactly is the difference between those 4070s?

[@Jacqie]

The biggest differences are usually clock speeds and cooling. In the grand scheme of things these cards have minor performance differences, but they are all technically the same and you don't have to buy an Asus card for example you can buy the cheaper ones and get the same performance

[@melnikoff]

bro why do you even say that this is for content creators, when you put intel KF , which has no hardware encode. basically quicksync is part of the integrated GPU that F processors don't really have

[@mattj500]

Should I upgrade from a 3060 TI i kinda want ray tracing on more games:/

[@Jacqie]

Your budget will tell you yes or no hahaha. I would if I could, but not a lot of people can justify the upgrade

[@normaldeviation9]

I'm a little confused. I thought the 4070 didn't have rgb unless you got the eagle or higher?

[@normaldeviation9]

Oops sorry just realized this is the 4070 gaming.

[@Jacqie]

No problem

[@psyber84]

Great video! Did you observe any coil whine?

[@Jacqie]

I didn't no, but I have to add that when stressing this card regularly while playing games and editing I had headphones on, but during the other tests I didn't hear coil whine

Should I get an anti sag bracket for the Gaming OC version? I know that the Aorus Master comes with one included but I don't feel like the price premium is worth it.

If you want to be safe then get one yes. I used mine for about 4 months without one with no issue. The backplate helps keep it sturdy

[@mattryan5393]

Honestly, do gpu even need more RGB than just the illuminated name? Since when did we care about that.

[@Jacqie]

I personally like minimal RGB as well and my main case also doesn't have a glass case so really don't mind, but a lot of people want to build setups with a lot of RGB so they want their GPU to have a ton of lights
