Palit GeForce RTX 4070 Dual, 12GB GDDR6X, HDMI, 3x DP

Die Palit GeForce RTX 4070 Dual 12GB ist eine mit dem angespitzen Rotstift kalkulierte und im Rahmen des finanziellen Spielraums noch ganz brauchbar umgesetzte Mittelklasse-Grafikkarte, die natürlich fast alle Schwachstellen der sogenannten MSRP-Karten besitzt. Es ist purer Durchschnitt und technischer Minimalismus ohne jegliche optische Glanzpunkte oder Aufreger. Um einigermaßen performant zu spielen, reichen die 200 Watt locker aus, denn man erreicht sogar eine GeForce RTX 3080 10GB, natürlich je nach Spiel und Auflösung.

Es ist mal wieder so weit, NVIDIA hat die GeForce RTX 4070 auf den Markt gebracht. Einen ausführlichen Test hat euch Igor schon am Mittwoch in gewohnter Detailtiefe präsentiert. Heute schauen wir uns die neue GeForce RTX 4070 aus einem etwas anderen Blickwinkel an. Denn immer nur die Standardauflösungen im 16:9 Format, das ist doch auch irgendwie langweilig. Und dabeu tun sich erwartete und unerwartete Abgründe auf, über die wir ebenfalls reden müssen.

It’s that time again, NVIDIA has launched the GeForce RTX 4070. Igor already presented you a detailed test in the usual depth on Wednesday. Today we’ll take a look at the new GeForce RTX 4070 from a slightly different angle. Because always only the standard resolutions in 16:9 format, that’s also kind of boring. And this is where expected and unexpected abysses open up, which we also need to talk about.

The Palit DUAL edition GeForce RTX 4070 can be an excellent choice for those needing Wide Quad HD performance while keeping the prices reasonable. This card provides WQHD capability and operates silently and boasts an impressive cooling system, making it a visually appealing option. Additionally, you can enhance the card's impressive performance by taking advantage of the games supporting DLSS(3). It has to be stated, though, the founder edition card is the better one. It offers roughly the same performance but remains the more silent product. And aesthetics do matter; you'll probably agree with me on that. The RTX 4070 graphics card offers impressive performance and visual quality and improved power efficiency and thermals, making it an eco-friendly option. It effortlessly handles high-resolution gaming and complex creative workflows with HDMI 2.1 support and increased VRAM capacity (12GB). When choosing between the RTX 4070 and Radeon RX 6800 (XT), it's important to consider factors such as raytracing performance and DLSS3, which the RTX 4070 excels at. A bit newer, the Radeon RX 7900 XT offers faster rasterizer engine performance with an additional L3 cache, making it a strong(er) contender for the RTX 4070. The RTX 4070 is priced $200 lower, so perhaps offers more value for money. Performance wise, depending on where you measure, you can compare the card with RTX 3080 / 3080 Ti performance levels. Overall, the RTX 4070 series edition is an attractive option for those looking for a visually appealing graphics card for their white-themed build. This graphics card has plenty of oomph up-to even Ultra HD gaming (especially with DLSS3 / Frame generation enabled) with the option for a mild overclock. Overall, the Palit DUAL edition GeForce RTX 4070 is an interesting card recommended, especially if prices remain competitive. But when it comes to choices, it'll have difficulty outselling the founder edition.
