The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super was Ada Lovelace's 1440p sweet spot — 12GB GDDR6X at $599. Now superseded by the RTX 5070 and out of production, new retail prices have risen to around $970 as of October 2026 — roughly 60% above MSRP — due to scarcity and the memory shortage. Used prices have followed, to around $670, so the earlier generation-end value has gone for now.
New units sell well above MSRP and used units run around $670 as of October 2026 — above the $599 launch price. Delivers ~75% of RTX 5070 performance; only worth it used below $500.
Efficient power draw works with modest PSUs.
Over 2 years of stability optimizations ensure excellent game compatibility.
1440p gamers who find a well-priced used unit and can accept 12GB VRAM without DLSS 4.
Yes. New RTX 4070 Super units now sell around $970 — well above the RTX 5070's $549 MSRP, though the 5070 itself is at $900–$1,000 during the memory shortage. The 5070 is the obvious choice for new purchases when found near MSRP. Used 4070 Super units run around $670 as of October 2026; below $500 they start to make sense for budget builds.
