Do all components work together properly and does the power source provide sufficient capacity?
Do all components work together properly and does the power source provide sufficient capacity?
I've recently purchased this GPU and am extremely satisfied. It's a reliable unit. Even though the boost clocks are listed as 2525mhz or similar, it performs excellently at around 2800mhz and above. Coming from an RTX 3060ti, I usually don't upgrade to a newer card unless absolutely necessary. But this one really stands out. The performance jump was remarkable. I'm gaming at 1440p, and the 4070 Super manages most of my titles at full settings, achieving high FPS that match my monitor's refresh rate (170 hz/fps). Features like DLSS 3 and Frame Gen are fully utilized for the more demanding games with complex engines, such as UE5.
I also enjoy playing titles like BF2042, COD BO6, RDR2, driving sims (F1, Grid, Forza), and others. It runs smoothly even with dual fans, rarely exceeding 64°C—something impressive compared to games like Stalker 2.
Just to add a bit, I've been using this non-evo version for about eight months now and I think it's an excellent card. Also, I'm running at 1440p with 165hz, and it handles everything smoothly—similar games as you mentioned before. Great minds and all that.
Temperatures are stable and it doesn't get too loud; my case is on my desk next to me. The afterburner also allows me to perform a significant memory overclock, which I'm keeping in the back pocket for now since it's not necessary.
Another thing to consider is adding a bit more. The Vetroo V5 should work, but it might be worth spending an extra ten dollars for the thermalright phantom spirit.
I'll check these details for you.
This information is really helpful. Have you noticed any coil whine with your card? I've read many discussions about 4070 supers from various brands, where some users report significant coil whine while others say it's not an issue. I also saw an Asus 4070 TUF super (the 3 fan version) at a local best buy. I might consider switching to that one for an extra $50, as it could run cooler and extend its lifespan. I plan to keep running this system for another five years before rebuilding again. Thanks for your feedback on the card.
I was aiming for a larger cooler to maintain better temperatures, but the size was the main factor in choosing the V5. I believe a bigger unit would fit into the Montech XR, though I'm more worried about it not clearing the RAM. I won't be upgrading the CPU at all, so I think I'll stick with the V5 as users say it's sufficient for the 5700x. Thanks for your advice.
