I've used the Gigabyte Windforce cards for year's and have never had a problem with any of them. I have the new 4070, 3080, 2080 and a white 2070 Super and they have worked perfectly. They even gave me a 4th year on my warranty on my 3080 for registering it online. They make great products. Plus the new 4070 Windforce looks great with my ASUS Creator motherboard on my 5900x workstation. Plus decoding video with Handbrake works even better with the 4070 over my older 2080. I highly recommend these card's. I love ASUS as well, I try to always use their motherboards. But they had the recent quality issues with the Ryzen 7000 series processor's and boards. I almost got the ASUS 4070 Dual until that happened. Great video as always.

Second vid i watch on this channel and.. ngl i like how simple and straight to the point your videos. Other channels give me a headache with minimum benefit xd .. Subbed!
@SOREI
Just a heads-up, a nit-pick with the GIGABYTE card is that practically all 30/40 series GIGABYTE GPUs have PCB cracking issues if you have sag. A crack will form on the PCB and completely kill the card rendering it unusable and GIGABYTE are refusing to RMA said cards which is very scummy especially considering it's a fault in them using low-quality PCBs. It's all over the internet if you look for it, if you currently own a GIGABYTE 30/40 series card, PLEASE make sure you eliminate that sag by using a bracket or holder of some sorts, otherwise your card is eventually going to kick the bucket.

This is the best 4070 video on youtube. Exactly what I was looking for. I have the white version of the ASUS 4070 OC and I love it. Definitely wouldnt recommend for 4k but works great on the Samsung G9. I didnt know about the performance button on it!!! Thanks for the great video!
@Antonis24
Bad pricing aside, it's amazing how power efficient this GPU is. The ASUS model would look amazing in an ITX case, paired with a non-X AM5 CPU like the Ryzen 7 7700. Maybe you can do a build video of that :)
@Chilledoutredhead
These are the kinds of tests we need :). So many different models to choose from . It would be awesome to see the difference between the cheapest, middle price and most expensive version though. I always suspected there wasnt much in it other than aesthetics and that looks to be true. Though the lower power draw of the asus card is nice.. if you want to risk going with asus at the moment :)
@tryless8637
O!Technology compares all gpu designs and told in his video not to buy the Msi Ventus 3X, because of high VRM temperatures ( over 90 degrees) on the top of the Card due to missing thermal pads. His source was a test from Guru 3d.
@moenikr
Thank you for this comparison/review! This was exactly what I was waiting for when the RTX 4070 was released, as these lower-tier models are the only ones usually available and ones that fit my budget (the Gigabyte Windforce OC in particular, since that was what was readily available from a local trusted retailer). I did eventually bite the bullet a few weeks back and got the Windforce OC, and though some other reviews I found didn't really praise it, the noise and thermals seem fine by me.
@pranjal86able
I absoolutely love your videos. Everything is done so classy, no clickbaits or unnecessary bashing, and rational conclusions. I love that its not another guy in a hoodie making crude jokes. Thank you, you are a breath of fresh air in this space :)
@sasha_chudesnov
Thanks! This is just what I was looking for: a small selection of reasonably well performing cards with current gen hardware and power consumption that could fit in an SFF case

Okay a few points regarding the RTX 4070 somehow being a "terrible deal".. 1.) The RTX 4070 cost $599.99 and is OBVIOUSLY optimally utilized via a 1440p monitor NOT "4K" and certainly not "4K max settings w/ ray tracing" GPU, this is a "mid-tier" GPU - It you want "top-tier" performance there is the RTX 4080 / 4090 which cost well over 1K so it is NOT rational to expect even remotely comparable performance for a GPU that cost 1/2 + the cost of a "top tier" GPU. 2.) Prices like it or not don't remain STATIC indefinitely - this is just a fact of how markets work, so this notion that the RTX 4070 is "overpriced" because in the past you got this % gain in "rasterization performance" vs. "X" GPU isn't really a rational argument and ignores many other variables. 3.) The RTX 4070 represents a ~ 30% rasterization performance leap vs. the RTX 3070 - 8 vs. 12GB VRAM - AV1 encoding - Far superior power efficiency/ ray tracing / DLSS / etc. 4.) Believe it or not GPU's aren't made for JUST 'gaming" - Nvidia basically has a monopoly here as it offers GPU's that work FAR better in general when it comes to production work, etc. There is "value" here like it not. Finally, when you factor in ALL relevant variables, the RTX 4070 is simply NOT a "terrible deal" so the asking price of $599.99 isn't "out of line". I think the over the top commentary over the RTX 4070 somehow being a "rip off" is a perfect example of the "Bandwagon Effect" warping reality. Of course this comment will be unpopular because people generally want something for nothing but sorry reality doesn't support this notion that the RTX 4070 is "overpriced" - it's simply not. The amount of blowback the RTX 4070 has been getting is simply bizarre / makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. You don't have to "love it" but it's not a "terrible deal".
@Raider_MXD
Thanks, the lack of tests of MSRP models indeed has been an issue
@suspectedcrab
I upgraded from a GTX 1080 to the Asus Dual OC model a few weeks ago. It gets 33c on idle without the fans even spinning. I got it for a little less than MSRP. I can't complain.
@Harald787
Due to your recent reviews, which included MSFS2020 data, bought a RTX4070 to replace my old GTX1080 and i am really impressed. What a performance upgrade and the DLSS Frame Generation is a game changer in MSFS2020. I bought a ASUS RTX 4070 TUF Gaming (Non OC) and it is build like a tank. Thanks for your great reviews.
@SpecReviewPlus
You do a fantastic job in your reviews! Love your channel! Very thorough!
@giedmich
Some manufactures has cut out in the back plate for the gpu and some don't. I wonder what is the reasoning behind this cut-out.
@thebillbo
I recently bought the ZOTAC GeForce RTX4070 Twin Edge OC for €660, I was debating getting a RTX for a while but it was the inclusion of Diablo 4 that made me go for it. 😁
@wimvisser9133
Thnx for the good review Nada 🤩
@turdferguson8624
Thanks for the review! Did you notice any coil whine in the cards when testing?
