Reviews for NVIDIA‘s latest mid-range graphics card, the GeForce RTX 4070, went live yesterday. And so far, it has received an “okay” feedback from the review community. People are not blown away by it, but it’s currently the more reasonably-priced GPU in the RTX 40 series lineup. It performs on par with the RTX 3080 in 1080p and 1440p while consuming much less power. Zotac‘s custom-designed RTX 4070 graphics cards are now available, and so far, most of its cards are sticking to the $599 MSRP, except for the more premium AMP AIRO model. You can check out more details about Zotac’s RTX 4070 graphics cards, including where to buy, from the official news release below.
Zotac Gaming Announces The Geforce RTX 4070 Series Powered By Nvidia Ada Lovelace Architecture
ZOTAC Technology Limited, a leading global manufacturer of innovation, announces the latest addition to its next-generation graphics card lineup, built on the powerful NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture.
The GeForce RTX 4070 GPU includes all the advancements of the NVIDIA® Ada Lovelace architecture, including the new standards in gaming such as DLSS 3 neural rendering and real-time ray-tracing technologies. Starting at $599 USD, the GeForce RTX 4070 runs most modern games at over 100 frames per second at 1440p resolution.
The 4070 series carries over the aerodynamic-inspired design and many key innovations introduced in previous 40-series cards, which improves gaming performance, airflow, cooling performance, noise mitigation and durability. The ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 4070 features 12GB GDDR6X ultra-fast memory and will come in 4 models: AMP AIRO, Trinity, Twin Edge OC and Twin Edge.
Zotac GeForce RTX 4070 AMP AIRO
The 4070 AMP AIRO leads the performance pack which fuses the flagship AIR-Optimized aesthetics into a slim 2.5 slot design. With its advanced Icestorm 2.0 cooling, dual-zone Spectra 2.0 ARGB lighting, and a strong factory overclock, the 4070 AMP AIRO is the series’ go-to graphics card for high performance.
Zotac GeForce RTX 4070 TRINITY
Using cooling technologies derived from the flagship model, the 4070 Trinity encompass a trio of powerful cooling fans, a large heatsink that covers the card’s footprint and beyond, noise-reducing enhancements, durability reinforcement and addressable RGB elements. The result is a trifecta of power, performance, and cooling that packs a serious punch.
Zotac GeForce RTX 4070 TWIN EDGE (OC)
