The GeForce RTX 4070 is one of the most anticipated graphics cards of the current generation. Positioned in the middle between the almighty RTX 4090 and the yet-to-be-released RTX 4050, which will be the cheapest variant of this generation, this 4070 RTX is the entry point to the high-end and therefore the most balanced option for those looking for more than remarkable performance for a reasonable economic investment.

To celebrate its launch, today we published reviews of two very interesting models. On the one hand, we have NVIDIA’s reference design, the GeForce RTX 4070 Founders Edition, a model that will be used to compare with the models of the main manufacturers, which always tend to offer a little more performance thanks to the use of custom cooling. technology, overclocking, etc.

We were also able to test one of the cards that GIGABYTE announced today, which we will review below, the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 WindForce OC, a perfect example of what I hinted at earlier, the way manufacturers build on the reference. design, but add their own technologies to it to consequently offer components that exceed the performance of the original design.

So, if you want to know everything about the new RTX 4070, and although we will soon inform you about the models from other manufacturers, I highly recommend that you read the two reviews that we have published today, because the combination of these publications will give you a very complete vision of this new and expected model of the series RTX 40.

As I already indicated, we tested one of the models presented by GIGABYTE, but the truth is that the company produced a great display for this launch with no less than five models. With this variety, users will be able to find the option that best suits their specific needs. Let’s look one by one at the five versions proposed by the company for its GeForce RTX 4070.

AORUS GeForce RTX 4070 MASTER 12G

This model marks the debut of new fan blades with a special surface treatment that, in combination with the fan, increases the static pressure by up to 30% and reduces the noise level by up to 3dB. This technology, combined with its large slanted finned heatsink module and vapor chamber, provides a set of thermal management technologies that enable maximum GPU performance.

It has a dual BIOS to facilitate the use of different configurations depending on the use of the system at all times, and it has several improvements in design and materials to guarantee its durability and durability over time. For lovers of LED lighting, it also has an improved version of the three-ring RGB lights, characteristic of the brand.

GeForce RTX 4070 AERO OC 12G

Visually, this AERO OC is without a doubt the most striking option, precisely thanks to its sober and discreet design based on white and silver details, which is a success for systems with a minimalist design, as well as for systems that opt ​​for white. But this does not mean giving up on color, as the logo on the side of the card has been made of a special material that shows a rainbow effect, also in combination with RGB lights.

In addition to the appearance, this model uses the WINDFORCE cooling system, includes three unique blade fans, alternate rotation, a large copper plate with direct contact with the GPU, heat pipes, 3D active fans and display cooling to maximize heat dissipation. The switch allows users to quickly switch between high performance mode and silent mode, which provides a quieter experience without the need for additional software.

GeForce RTX 4070 GAMING OC 12G

This GIGABYTE model focuses on performance and stability, as usual in this series, with a classic design. It features three unique blade fans, alternate rotation, a large copper plate in direct contact with the GPU, heat pipes, 3D active fans and display cooling to maximize heat dissipation. This GAMING OC also features graphene nanolubricant in the fans, built-in dual BIOS, upgraded metal back plate, superior power stage design and ULTRA DURABLE certified components.

GeForce RTX 4070 EAGLE OC 12G

For users who like a more innovative design, this EAGLE OC might be their best choice, and the same can be said for those looking for a slightly smaller card than usual. Here again we find the reliable Windforce cooling system with three unique blade fans, reversible composite copper heat pipes with direct contact with the GPU, 3D active fans and a thermal display cooling design to improve heat dissipation.

GeForce RTX 4070 WINDFORCE OC 12G

The entry point to the RTX 4070 family from GIGABYTE, we can tell you about this little new card because, as I already indicated at the beginning of this article, we tested it thoroughly (trust me, you will find an incredibly complete review) , so my recommendation, especially if you are considering the choice of this model, is for you to study the above test in detail.
