This card is great. I'm upgrading from a RTX 3060 12GB model and this is a big step up. I mostly play souls like games at 1440p so this is probably overkill for my needs but I can max out all the settings including ray tracing still getting at least 60 frames per second. Elden Ring ran at a nice 60 fps (the game is capped unless you mod it which I don't) with no hiccups. Armored Core 6 will run about 110 frames per second, the game says it can go up to 120 but playing with the settings I'm convinced its a limitation of the games engine why it can't hit the full 120. I play a ton of sekiro and I maxed out every setting graphically and the card never broke 60% and mostly at 45% capacity while going a smooth 60 fps (again its capped I wish this game would do 120 or more). I opened up God of War 1 cause it has a ton of graphics options just to play with it and I was able to max out pretty much everything and still get around 90 fps (this was not a thorough test so take this with a grain of salt). One thing I will mention is I did all of these tests without the video scaling option but when I do play casually I usually leave it at 85% (you can change this setting in the NVIDIA Gefore Experience desktop app). I cannot tell a difference between that and fully scaled. I mainly do this to save the card some wattage and keep temps cool.
The card runs very efficiently, at idle it can run in the single digits for wattage. It runs a similar wattage number (around 220 watts) when playing the game as my 3060 did. The difference is my 3060 was running everything at 1080p while the 4070 is at 1440p. Nvidia has put a lot of effort into the efficiency of their cards and it really shows. The card stays very cool, the highest I've seen it at is (i think) 64 degrees celcius playing the games described in the previous paragraph. The card pulls .9 volts stock (if thats something you care about). One thing about my cooling I will mention is I have put a lot of thought into my cooling set up by I'm running fans only and the front only has side vents (so its not like one of those airflow cases where the front is basically a mesh). I guess I'm bragging. But that being said if you have a good cooling solution already this card will complement it perfectly. Some reviewers mentioned coil whine in the fans but I have not heard a thing. The GPU fans run quiet and seem to do a great job of cooling the card.
As far as stuff outside of gaming the card has two separate video encoders so this might be good for streaming or video editing. I do a little bit of video editing so I'm excited to see how it performs (haven't tried it yet). It has 16 GB of VRAM so it should perform solidly in most normal home editing rigs. The clock runs pretty fast but have only run the NVIDIA control panel overclock. I bet it would overclock nicely based on the numbers I've seen but I'm not brave enough to do that on a $800 card. The video upscaling feature is amazing and based on that alone I would recommend any of the 40 series cards from NVIDIA. If you use a chrome based browser (i use edge don't laugh) then it can upscale video using its AI encoders. It does great. Its not perfect however but its still really good. I upscale from 1080p to 1440p and theres not much in terms of artifacts.
In short this card is pretty expensive but also really awesome. You get your moneys worth from this card. It runs efficient and you can max out almost everything at 1440p. The AI features are awesome. I really debated if this was worth the extra $200 from a regular 4070 super but now that I have it I don't regret my purchase. This card comes with this loser on the internets recommdation!!!!!
