Performance and where it ranks

Two different questions, side by side. Performance compares what the hardware can do; Value compares what that capability costs at today’s price. A product can rank high on one and low on the other — that gap is the point.

How much it can do. Price plays no part in this ranking.

Balanced has no letter: it is a weighting preset, not a capability rubric. A grade answers “how well does this handle that job?” — price is never part of it. Relative Value puts the current market price back in.

Trade-offs

Works well if

  • 1080p Gaming is your main prioritygraded S for 1080p Gaming on the same rubric as the tier list
  • You want memory headroom — memory is not what limits it hereno memory cap applies to this grade — the raster index sets it, not the frame buffer
  • DLSS 4.5 with frame generation matters to yousecond-generation transformer upscaler + frame generation — derived from the ada architecture, not from a scraped feature flag

Consider other options if

  • You want strong value with Balanced priorities specificallyat today's market no realistic price for this model reaches strong value with Balanced priorities — the calculation only gets there near $553, against a cheapest tracked $970
  • Value for money matters more to you than this exact modelRX 9070 holds Relative Value 64 against its 46 with Balanced priorities, at $750
  • Not the pick if Ray Tracing @ 2K (1440p) is your main useit grades only C there

Upgrade planner

Judge the change in the active scenario, then make the cash gap explicit.

Using page scenario
Current productRTX 4070 Super

We rank upgrades by out-of-pocket cost — the new price minus what yours is worth — not by sticker price.

Only candidates that clear the configured meaningful-upgrade gate will be shown; roles are omitted rather than filled.

Capability differences are expressed as tiers and index points, not as benchmark percentages we did not measure.

Summary

Computed conclusion

RTX 4070 Super offers a balanced view across an all-round mix of priorities. It ranks #19 by capability in the current modelled field. Its clearest measured strength is raster index 1160. RX 9070 currently clears the same practical bar with stronger Relative Value.

FAQ

How much case clearance should I allow for the RTX 4070 Super?

Tracked boards range from 261 to 261 mm in length. Select the exact board, then also allow for front radiators or fans, card height, slot thickness and power-cable bend; length alone does not guarantee fit.

Why does Relative Value change when I choose another scenario?

Each scenario changes the weights applied to capability, price and the other published factors. The hardware facts stay fixed, but the value question changes, so its score and rank can change too.

Why can Amazon appear without a tracked price?

Amazon listing snapshots can participate in Value while fresh. We show Check on Amazon instead of its price; confirm the current price and availability at the store. When no current listing snapshot exists, Amazon is a search link only.
