I Reviewed RTX 4070 Super REVIEWS to See if it's Really that Bad 

Hi Vex, the 2 slots are not there for anythig to be solder onto them. Memory chips can work in 32 or 16 bit modes... and so on. 320(bit) / 20(GB RAM) = 16 256 / 8 = 32 256 / 16 = 16 192 / 6 = 32 192 / 12 = 16 ...and so on. That gives you a picture of what is possible. You can cheat a bit but then you get situation like with GTX970 where some of the VRAM works much slower than it should. (192 / 16 = 12 so this is not viable) Hope that helps!

Amazing Video like always. Please make video about Nvidia Gen to Gen peformance and price diffrence . Because RTX 4070 Ti shoud be named RTX 4070 and priced at 550-600$ from the beginning . Like we RTX 3070 was faster the RTX 2080 by 20% and now RTX 4070 has same RTX 3080 performance . RTX 4070 Ti is better then RTX 3080 by 20%. Nvidia missleading by using wrong names and higher prices . Even power draw efficiency is lie because RTX 3070 has 220 watt TDP and RTX 4070 Ti (the real RTX 4070) has the same power draw and the same goes on for the rest of GPU's.

Anything looks good compared to previous 40 series cards. They are all overpriced. comparing a bad price to a bad price is still a bad price. Also your channel has come a long way from 1k subs! Grats on your growth, your great, keep it up, more subs will come!

@@dontsupportrats4089 Yeah let's wish they go back to track in next RTX 5000 and i wish AMD wake up and make reboot like they did with Ryzen CPU and i hope Intel make good GPU too so we see good competition to make the performance better for less money . Thx bro i just dropped my channel i just did it for fun when i was playing Battle royale hhhh

GREAT IDEA for this video. Congrats man!

ram and ginpped bus and bet you next gen will have another feature that will make the current one obsolete at least if you are stupid enough to buy ngreedia in the first place. i have both ngreedia and amd and wish all were amd....

That's by design hopping that you upgrade every generation.

​@@thepro08man I wish AMD made their own AI upscaler that games used. My only way to get high FPS in the new ARK is with DLSS

And AMD uses more VRAM than Nvidia even on GPUs with the same amount of VRAM. Perhaps you should ask why. In some scenarios the difference be well over 1GB on a 8GB Nv vs 8GB AMD GPU. Why is this? Is AMDs compression just that bad? Nvidia doesnt seem to need as much VRAM. Regardless. If you're a muppet that have to play everything on ULTRA (no reason to do so) then you should reconsider. Also 3 years from now, textures on Medium will be what todays Ultra is. So it doesnt matter. UNless you're a pixelpeeper at 4K. People rave about VRAM a lot. But in 99% of the scenarios, you wont notice adifference between texture qualities unless you literally stand still and pixelpeep. From a normal viewing distance of 60-80cm then you wont notice a lick of a differnce between todays High and Ultra. All you're doing is getting upset about something you're not really missing out on. Anyway in 3 years from now, judging by todays games, the current 7800xt and 4070 S will be long obsolete in raster anyway.

@@haewymetalI agree with this but it’s a little aggressive lol. I have an 8gb VRAM card and I haven’t had any issues with 1440p gaming even with high textures. The only game that I have been limited by VRAM on is the RE4 remake, which is notoriously VRAM hungry. Even then, it just meant I could only have the textures most of the way to maximum instead of max. I think unless you’re doing path tracing at 4k, 12gb will be plenty for years to come. And if you ARE doing path tracing at 4k, you wouldn’t buy a 4070 in the first place.

i just bought the 7800xt xfx quick, its a good card mw3 170-180fps on max settings, and the colours are far better then my rtx3060ti which i replaced with the 7800xt

Bytesizetech explained in a recent video that in order to use >12GB with the 192 bit bus of these GPUs, the GPU should run at lower speeds or just double the 12GB to 24GB, or something like that (don't remember).

@@Adri9570 You cant exceed the 12GB as each chip needs 32bit making it 6 chips à 2GB at a 192Bit interface. The only way would be to use bigger and more expensive Modules, which pretty much do not exist yet...as we just got the 2gig sized ones a while ago. Well yes, you could also try double stacking on the backside aswell, but that brings its own problems and doesnt work very well, if not intentionally made for with the controllers and co. Not to mention the additional power, voltage, phases and generated heat again... The 3+Gig ones will probably only coming with GDDR7 and RTX5000.

Its a lot of money bruvh hmmm

Dude even if I have $600 I still don't wanna buy this. The pricing on gpu products like this one is just unacceptable

PS2 at launch in 2000 was $300, accounting for inflation thats $580 today. A high end graphics card for the price of a console? Pretty cheap to me. But most people are bad with their money.

​@@ThisisCitrusok

Yes, they are both trying to just slightly be faster than the other to say they're better, so they can then have the higher price. Nvidia could have sold the 4080 for 750$ and instantly win the generation, but they decided since it's predicted to be faster than AMD's flagship then they may as well charge more than what AMD would charge for their flagship. They're just trying to squeeze more money out of less and less consumers. The reason they often show big improvements (especially Nvidia for counting FG as real FPS) over last gen is to say to people who haven't upgraded "look how bad your GPU is now, you need to upgrade!". Jensen Huang himself directly addressed GTX 1000 owners saying "it's safe to upgrade" at the launch of Ampere, which is the exact moment I realised Nvidia went corrupt. AMD isn't doing much better, just copying some of Nvidia's homework and switching it up and making it marginally better. Hopefully Intel Battlemage can give Huang and Dr Su a reality check.

@@Crazicali hope the battlemage is insane value and rocks the market. We need the market to reset in a good way for consumers. Well see though. Theres a ton of potential in the mid range market as thats where a majority of pc gamers hang.

@@RareEvening It wont be because they'll only be releasing the base model due to it being too 'expensive' to have multiple cards. At least that's what they're saying for now.

AMD wants to get rid of RDNA2 stock, and from now untill rdna4 they will want to get rid of rdna3 stock. My prediction is massive cuts when rdna4 is released, and rdna4 will bring current highend performance for midrange prices. Then when RDNA5 is out, the 8800xt/8700xt will become "budget"/ low midrange cards, and the 9xxx cards will be a new tier of performance at nvidia prices. Meanwhile there will be apus as powerful as the 6600/6650xt with zen 6 / ddr6 which will have 64-128GBps bandwith per dimm

@@Crazical I understand why Nvidia behaves this way, as they have 80%+ of the dedicated GPU market share and they can get away with it. It just doesn't make sense why AMD refuses to put out better value cards and start moving units to gain some ground on Nvidia. They aren't even trying to compete in this space. They seem content to let Nvidia dominate them and at this rate even Intel could eventually surpass them. We need some of that innovation from the CPU side

I'm not sure about how much its hitting them. All the people who need like 20+ gb for work-related stuff are forced to buy 3090s /4090s when otherwisely they might just need a lot less performance

​@@Alice_Fumoaye, it's an upsell product.

⁠@@nnightkingjbruh what? tons on amazon, newegg, walmart etc

best choice you have made

Only 7% faster bc memory bus is only 192 bits. 7800XT has 4G more VRAM on a 256 bits memory bus.

@@tringuyen7519 that 192 bit memory bus is killer at 1440p or 4k. everyone talks about 12gb of vram and frankly ya its a little low especially for the cost but would still be ok for a while its the memory bus being 192bit that really makes me question why its marketed as a 1440p card because it isnt going to age well and already struggling on newer titles at those higher resolution. 1440p card needs a 256 bit bus at minimum. frankly its obvious the 4060 was suppose to be a new 50 series card and 70 was suppose to be a 60 series card and 4070ti super should have been the 4070 from the start except with original core count.

@@KraziAgent-cj8cx Why did you buy 2 cards and at such close classes?

@@clockworklegionaire2135 Stoooopidaty

7800xt works on decent 600w psu no problems even overcloked with over 300w power, ref model of 7800xt is quite small GPU and 4070 super is not selling good at all..

With increase of vram usage in games, obviously the more performance it needs to run. And with that said, you cannot last longer with either cards unless you are using 4090. Even with 16gb vram, the performance will lack for sure if the 12gb gpus face the wall. So, probably chances are 16gb users upgrading their gpu in about similar time as 12gb gpu user.

Thank you makes me realize my choice of the regular 4070 seem like a temporary good choice with my custom new build from a friend

​@@baeilence that just sounds like a cope for 12gb of vram lmao

Pretty sure this is the same calculation that Nvidia did, as well :D. If the 4070 or the 4070 Super were 16GB it would be an absolute beast of a card. But why do it, when you can shake people up for an extra 200 Euro. I was really looking into upgrading my old GTX 1080, to something newer but all of the offerings in the 600-650 EUR segment are sh*t. 4070 and 4070 Super are both 12GB, so good luck future proofing for gaming. 7800 XT is 16GB and has better price, but it absolutely sucks for AI, especially Stable Diffusion, and its Ray Tracing is pretty damn "meh". Not to mention it's a literal non-upgrade from the 6800 XT, which keeps the latter's second hand prices high, while stores that do have new ones, never bother to adjust 6800 XT prices lower. And finally, you have Intel and the A770 16GB which is an absolute steal for work related tasks and makes the AI units on the 7800 XT look like AMD was being sarcastic with their marketing (just looks at some recent SD benchmarks). But it sucks for gaming and even if it *eventually* reaches it's potential to perform like a 3070 (maaaaybe 3070ti-ish), it would still be way too late. So, I'm probably just going to wait on Battlemage and see what Intel has to offer. If they can reach the original 4070 performance, but with 16GB of VRAM, I'll be a happy camper. In the mean time, I'll continue to do most of my gaming using my 4.50 EUR a month Founders plan on Geforce Now.

@@BaldKiwi117 after that long explanation.. does it? That might be the problem with you. However, just think about it. The vram demanding games we will face are likely to be also graphical demanding. It always has been and always will be. Thats why only the 4090 is the winner after all. Its actually future proofing just like 2080ti or 1080ti did. And for future proofing for next couple yrs, the minimum vram req should be 18gb+ about the 4080 super performance. If you still havent changed your mind after all.. i guess you are using 16gb “future proofing” gpu that you think it will last for next couple years ;)

Got mine a month ago and 1440p gaming has been great.

what about blender, video editing etc..

@@yetofetta I don't use them but blender supports amd cards and there are video editing software that do as well.

​@@yetofettaVery small amount of ppl use it for that

same bro very happy

Easy to say that, but what matters is performance and value. And at least right now, it looks like 4070S offers a better overall value than the 7800XT unless its price drops. I also worry about 12GB going into the future, but that's just a worry right now, based on speculation and assumption.

​@@patsk8872amd being amd, they will definitely do something about this

The only super that’s gonna be worth it is the 4070ti super, sadly.

@@RobVee.the RTX 4080 super is the highest worth is you have the money but I do agree if you want good graphics card don’t hang to pay to much get the RTX 4070 ti super

That's 700 euro for us in Europe, maybe higher depending on what country you live in and if you can an order delivered at a reasonable price from Germany, spain, maybe France or whatever country you can find a deal 😢, I can get a basic model 7800xt from Germany for about €560... But to buy in Ireland and the cheapest website here is about €640 for a 7800xt... Which really is just a 7800, the 7900gre is what the 7800xt should have been. We really need to be seeing good midrange GPUs to be hitting 350-400 USD before we'll feel we're not being ripped off here, because later this year we'll start to see NVIDIA 5000 series and rDNA 4, so 700 euro on a 4070s is last gen by xmas 2024

That's completely fair, the 7800xt is a great card, I'm also currently on a 1070 and was thinking about upgrading to a 7800xt for a while, but ultimately I ordered a 4070 super the other day and am waiting for it to arrive this weekend. It mainly came down to raytracing and DLSS for why I chose to go for the 4070 super, it really was close though, I basically decided that I would wait and see how the 4070 super performed in reviews, and if it didn't do well enough I'd have pulled the trigger on the 7800xt (also if AMD aggressively dropped the price to £450 that would have also given me serious room for thought).

Unless games continue get more RT heavy.. which they are... no point in having the VRAM if you're at 1080p with medium settings😀

To be fair, Nvidia also constantly improves DLSS, FG and RR quality. And they also announced Neural Compressed Textures, which may help with that 12GB buffer in the future. We can not be sure what future will bring us, that is the point. And by the time 7800 XT will take advantage of these additional 4 GB, this card may simply become outdated due to the lack of raw GPU power. 🤔

@@AKMcF Yes if they implement games with RT already built into the game then it will be an issue. For the second point I'm talking in context to the video so 1440p gaming.

@@stangamer1151 neural compressed textures 50 series only if you pay $10/month subscription.

@@stangamer1151 Yes both will continue to improve, I meant to say AMD has more room for improvement in FSR department. DLSS already looks close to native, AMD is far behind in upscaling, if they can also make it look close to native and remove those shimmers etc then AMD will look more appealing in terms of value.

Even at top of the range it means a lot, it's the difference between an 'entry' and 'premium' model of a 7900xtx.

Gamers should be buying amd cards instead... leave the nivida cards to people who actually do productive things with them... these people who have 4070s and higher are playing games for simpletons like counter stroke, cod, battlefield, ubischiet games...

Yeah, I think the 2 slots could be for 8GB (1GB x 8) on this bus cut to 128-bit. The problem is that BIOS for that configuration will never exist. At least outside of nVidia labs. That would be a much worse card though.

Exactly. My guess is that manufacturers are using the same PCB for the AD104 and AD103 GPUs in order to save money.

Thing is 4070S will drop to around 550 also and I think having RT options and frame gen puts it ahead. Games are released with bad performance lately dlss is important tbh

@@IncredibleLyrics Yea dlss is a good feature to have but its not gonna break any boundaries yet. I still think DLSS wont become a norm feature thing yet. Having it is a plus but also not having it wont change as much honestly. If I really want something for DLSS, Im getting a 4080 or 4090, thats where the the best DLSS performance is at. But still price for performance 7800 xt is too much of a power house at 450$. If were just talking raw performance without DLSS. 7800 xt. I jsut dont see the incentive to buy a 4070 super for 100$ more just so you can get a 10 percent increase in performance and the feature it have is DLSS. Also if the super 4070 dont drop price to 550 and stay at 600, witrh the ti releasing and 7900 xt at 700 dollar now... when the 4070 ti super is release it may drop down to 670 ... on holiday and for 70 dollar more you can get a 7900 xt and get a huge ... and I mean a huge performance increase.

Yeah, unfortunately when you put it all down on paper the arguments in favor of the 7800XT really aren’t affected much even given how much of a performance bump the 4070 Super makes over the OG 4070. Not too much incentive for AMD to drop prices on that card, or even the 7900XT as those were already in the mid-$700 range. I was thinking about this just prior to ordering a 7800XT a few days ago, I don’t see AMD being that compelled to make any long-standing price drop on it. Maybe incremental changes at most. And I want a reference model anyway, usually the slowest to get any long-standing price drops. Nvidia is likely aiming to raise prices on the 4070 Super to $700+ anyway. Nvidia fanboys will probably pitch in. It’s what they do every generation, every refresh.

Same. It’s not worth it 90% of the time but when it’s discounted it’s discounted HARD. Got one on Prime Day for near around £100 cheaper than the cheapest 4070 ti I could find at the time and I imagine it’ll drop again to undercut the Super when that gets released too.

RT is still a gimmik, especially at this price point, it just is not worth it to use 99% of the time on anything lower than a 4090.

@@Frashsibit Upscaling has proven this to be untrue. Even weak cards get good benefit from it.

As price goes up, not having it becomes less of an excuse. AMD is significantly behind in this aspect yet they are charging like they are Nvidia. That aside, it still beats everything sub $700 currently. Nvidia has made this card just cheap enough for it to be worth it while squeezing every cent the can from it. They truly are "Team Green"
