We're a little late to the party in reviewing the PNY GeForce RTX 4070. While it's a shame we couldn't get a card to review for launch day, in some ways, that's actually a good thing. We've just heard all about the RTX 4060 family, which means we're better placed for this review now that we know where the 4070 will sit price-wise compared to the lower-end 40 Series cards.
This is important, because the pricing of the best graphics cards has been something of a hot topic this generation. Particularly in my review of the PNY GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, I felt like for the first time, we had a clear indication that Nvidia was knowingly overcharging for its latest GPUs. After all, it "unlaunched" the 12GB 4080, changed nothing in terms of specs or value, then repurposed it as a 4070 Ti for $100 less. Coming in at $799 / £799, I felt when I reviewed the Ti that it barely warranted that price. After all, if you're going to spend that much on a GPU, you might as well spend a bit more and get something that, a) has more VRAM, and b) doesn't rely on DLSS to stay competitive with the likes of the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT.
