- NVIDIA's new mid-range GeForce RTX 4070 GPU offering has just hit the shelves! Sporting a cut-down version of the AD104 GPU built atop the "Ada Lovelace" architecture, with 5888 CUDA cores instead of 7680 CUDA cores as found on its bigger brother, the RTX 4070 Ti, ALKtech gets in on the launch day excitement by unboxing a RTX 4070 graphics card that comes with a factory overclock to boot - the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 WINDFORCE OC 12G. Sporting a WINDFORCE cooler design with alternate spinning fans and direct touch copper heat pipes to keep temperatures at bay, the WINDFORCE OC 12G represents the entry-level in Gigabyte's GeForce RTX 4070 product stack.

I bought this card a few weeks ago. Upgraded from my 3060 Ti. Luv this GPU. All the hate I've heard about the 40 series performance is crap. This card is a 1400p beast. 😎
Great to hear! How are you finding the temps of this card under your use cases?
@@ALKtech They're in par with what my 3060TI temps were except that I don't have to turn any settings down and the temps depend also on what game I am playing. Gigabyte in my experience makes awesome GPU's. I will say this , I paid $550 plus taxes for an entry level card and we should've have gotten better for that much money , but since that's the way things are ya can't go wrong with a Wind Force GPU IMO.
@@davidjames4583hey man , can you please give me more details about the temps and noise , Am really hesitating Between The Asus Dual And The windforce , Like does it Reach more than 67° , And is it Noisy , Thank you ❤
@@hmdd4092 This GPU is very quiet. No whine at all. The fans turn off and on automatically . Temps just depend on what resolution and what game you're playing.
@@davidjames4583Thanks brother , But what about 1440p High settings ?, Or Fps games
Purchased this card today to replace my RTX3070TI which I gave to my daughter. The main difference is that it ran much cooler and the image seems to be better (i.e., more vibrant).
Plus the fact it uses just one 8-pin PCIe power connector!
what temps are you getting under full load 1440p/4k gaming?
@Antipasto I have the same Rtx 4070 windforce and I get 45c degrrssd celcuis when playing 1440p epic
@@DeOlaa that's nice!
here is my story: i got the 4070 ti windforce edition but the temps with its stock cooler under full load at 1440p/4k with intense gaming sessions are 70+ degrees and that was with the fans ramped up to 85-90%! already extremely audible, so i did some tweaking myself and replaced the gigabyte fans frame with custom 2x Noctua NF-A15 fans ( super silent even under 100% fan speed) temps hover between 50-58 degrees. including undervolting of the gpu (only losing 3fps at 4k, avg power usage now is 170-200w) also re-pasted with noctua thermal paste.
undervolting config:
0.950v voltage
core: 2595 mhz
mem: +750 mhz
fully stable, testing over a week for stability!
@@antipasto6453 oh thats good just use the noctua fans, dont use a stock cooler they just bad, i hope you like your gpu :)
I got this card coming from 3070 ti FTW3. The weight and power consumption is night and day difference. I used to have a Asus ROG stand for my 3070 ti because it will sag but for this you dont need it. This runs much cooler and more powerful.
One of the clear generational benefits between the RTX 3000 series versus RTX 4000 series for sure, the improved power consumption figures. Hope you managed to get your 4070 for a decent price!
The clock speeds from the windforce (2490) and from the Eagle variant (2505 i believe) is there any difference to it ?
The difference in performance between both cards should be minimal - if you wanted to, you could always do your own minor overclock to push the Windforce's clocks to match that of the Eagle!
@@ALKtech thanks !
Atleast it comes with a 8pin and not the melting junk
Not a fan of the 12VHPWR connector too, especially on low-to-mid-range cards...
Does this gpu need anti sag bracket?
@@mega5376 it's not a very large card by any means, so you should get by without an anti-sag bracket!
I got one on mine just in cas3
How is the cooling of this card ? Any thermal issues do you think its better than the asus dual?
At least compared to my 3070 - cooling is great. Night and day difference.
No problems at all on max load maxed out cyberpunk with path tracing I comfortably sit around 70 degrees which is not amazing but still very good.
This exact same card is on sale Canada computers store so I have searching for the exact same card review video on youtube here I found the exact card (this is not review video but its ok). Thanks for the video.
hello what is the length of the card? because it is announced at 26.1 cm it seems strange to me thank you
It's 26.1cm in length all right, a pretty short card!
ok thank you for the information suprised anyway size for a triple fan
@@normansmague8459 we're back in...sensible size and power draw territory for graphics cards 😂
@@ALKtech 👍
Does this come with the 8 pin power cord? Also. Does the “OC” mean this comes out the box already overclocked? Sorry for dumb questions.
I currently have an MSI 3050 that i believe used an 8 pin cord. So can I just plug it in and use the same power cord already installed? Or do I need to swap the power cord
If you're already using a MSI RTX 3050 with the 8-pin PCIe power connector, you can simply reuse the same connector for this Gigabyte RTX 4070, No swapping needed whatsoever!
@@ALKtech sweet. I’m just now getting back into PC’s after like 12 years without a gaming rig. So i’m rusty lol. Bought a Pre Built that im now upgrading. Thanks for info. Helps big time
@@11bravo1789 keep in mind the recommended PSU pwoer
I have to ask does the GIGABYTE letters light up when its turned on?
It doesn't, this card has no RGB LEDs or any LED lighting effects for that matter!
No it doesn't, even though the site I bought it from said it did, along with 16 pin connector. I suspect somebody copy and pasted the 4070 ti version and forgot to make a couple vital changes.
Ok thanks.
@@jessefisher1809 oof. Hope you managed to get a refund on that since it sounds like you wanted a card with some form of aesthetic lighting...
@@ALKtech meh I don't care that much. I'd have to pay $50 more for some leds. No way.
is the GEFORCE RTX portion led lit or just paint?
It's paint - the WINDFORCE doesn't come with RGB lighting or any lighting effects for that matter!
Which is good.. because you pay €100 more for those lights you will never look at again.
@@SliceOfLife93 haha guess the money would be worth it to folks who love their RGB - to each their own!
Do you know how much the card weights? Have you also tried it in full load yet (is it noisy?)?
Not noisy, can't even hear the coil whine. Small as well love it
@@Jackalvs thanks buddy, cuz I intend to buy this one aswell :)
@@antonyapostolov8252 it not that worth to buy the one that cost over £600 but this one cost 589 with three fans so it's somewhat worth it. If you don't have a card and just want to get a spec of rtx3080....this rtx 4070 is way more worth than the rtx 3080. The low wattage makes a really big difference in fan noise.
@@Jackalvs I intend to replace my RTX 2060 which is still a good card for 1080p, but it starts showing its age mainly due to VRAM limitations. And yeah, the fact that it's a simple 8-pin connector + low consumption card is really cool considering electricity is more and more expensive. I upgrade every 2 generation, and although I totally agree with the criticisms the 4000 series get, I think the 4070 is a pretty good value, especially for 1080p gaming for the next 4 years.
@@Jackalvs is your card still ok?
On offlines stores i got it for like under 60k w8th 3 years warranty (it was sealed and was checked properly)
How was it sealed? Like here? Or the box was sealed too? How do i know if im not getting a second hand?
Hi my dude i hope you can answer me on few questions.
1. I can buy this card model on black friday sale for around 530euros is that okay price?
2. Is it noisy and do you hear any coil whine from this card?
3. Is Ryzen 5600X enough?
1. Seems like a decent price, though I'm not familiar with GPU price movements in Europe in general. Might not hurt to research a couple of PC hardware retailers in your region, as well as on eCommerce sites such as Amazon and Newegg to see if you're getting a good deal!
2. I didn't get the chance to plug this graphics card in to do a test 😅
3. A 5600X will work fine for a 4070 especially if you're gonna game at 1440p predominantly!
The only reason I went for this card instead of 3080TI, just because of 8 PIN power connector and impressive low power consumption.
Oh yes, the RTX 4070 sips power and runs much cooler than the high-end RTX 3000 series for sure!
@@ALKtech yep, in my case I saved money on power supply, my old power supply can run 4070 and 3080 is not an option.
Do you think the SAG will kill the 40 series cards or is that just exclusive to the 30 serious
Depends on size and weight
4070 eagle/windforce does not weight much. It's very unluckely to happen. With fat 4080/4090, it's a different story!
Hello so I have a 3070 currently that has 2 PCIE cables (6+2 pin & 6 pin) and I see that this 4070 only takes one 8 Pin so could I just plug my 3070 cable into the 4070, leaving the other side dangling?
Yup you can do that, no issues to leave the other power cable disconnected!
Wel'p I may be getting this instead of the Eagle OC since it'll fit my case better lol. I'd fit the Eagle just fine but damn, the size difference here is day and night.
I guess Gigabyte doing away with the RGB illumination did help with keeping the shroud size down over the Eagle OC!
@@ALKtech Agreed, both are beautiful cards nonetheless.
hey man, what do you thin, is this version better than gainward ghost one?
Is there a price difference between both cards where you're from?
Also, I see that Gainward has an OC and non-OC variant of the Ghost 4070, assuming that you're comparing the OC version of the Ghost to the Gigabyte in this video, the Ghost has slightly higher clock speeds than the Gigabyte. I've not had the chance to handle the Gainward card in person, so I can't comment about build quality, but I'd probably just go for whichever card's the cheapest of the two (assuming both have the same warranty duration).
i am new on this soo i have a question, what connector i will nees for that gpu? Because i didnt see the dongle on the box.Will i need too connect directly the pcie cable?
You'll just need to hook up the 6+2 pin PCIe power cable from your power supply to this graphics card, and that's it! No need for dongles whatsoever.
This gráfic have RGB on name gigabyte or no?
The card doesn't have RGB or any lighting effects!
@@ALKtech thnk you
Yes I am returning to via exchange
Can I pair it with ryzen 5 3600 ? Or it'll bottleneck very bad?
I think if you're gonna game at 1440p, the 3600 shouldn't hold back the 4070's performance too much. At 1080p, there probably will be some amount of bottlenecking - mind sharing the specs of the rest of your PC?
@@ALKtech Thanks for your suggestion!
My rest pc specs is
Mobo: gigabyte b450 mds3h
16gb ram 3200mhz
Gtx 1660s
Storage: crucial p3 1tb, 1 tb wd blue X2
PS: 550 watt
Monitor: Lg 24" 1080p 75hz
@@aviwahi9310 thanks! I'd recommend working towards a platform upgrade (i.e. new processor/RAM/motherboard) eventually to get the most out of a 4070, though if you're cash-strapped, getting a 5800X3D to further prolong the lifespan of your system might not be a bad choice too. You might wanna upgrade your PSU though, 550W might be cutting it thin for a 4070!
Does it sag? It may look like a beefy card but actual length size is small imo.
It's actually a pretty compact card - I'd think there shouldn't be too much sag (if even any at all) given its dimensions and weight!
Just bought one and its slightly smaller lengthways than the msi gtx 1070 it replaced!
@@jixal should be a pretty good step-up from the 1070 Ti in terms of performance!
How do I install this do I need an adapter ? I tried plugging in directly into the 8 pin not enough power
You don't need an adapter, just plugging in the 8-pin PCIe power connector from your power supply to the graphics card will do. What's the wattage of your current power supply unit?
@@ALKtech hello I tried plugging in the 8 pin to 8 pin directly my gpu keeps shutting off I have an 850w psu with an i7 13700k, should I get a female duo 6 pin to 8 to get extra power ?
Please help here the gpu does turn on but shuts off with the 8 pin pci to gpu I have an 850w Corsair psu
@@jacobfashh2565 850W is more than enough for the 4070, it sounds like you might be facing an issue elsewhere with your PC. Have you used the Corsair PSU before? Are you able to test if the PSU is not faulty?
@@ALKtech turns out it was the mobo pci5 slot it worked on the pci 3 slot however I still needed an adapter female dual 6 pin to 8 to get enough power into the gpu
Only for me that pcb looks a little curved? Im scared because bought this card, and it looks curved too..
Hmm, I didn't pay close attention to the PCB when I still had the card with me, though I don't recall thinking it looked curved/warped...
@@ALKtech 2:15 Part with PCIE connector looks a little lower than rest of PCB. Just look at PCB and whole backplate from left to right. For me, PCB looks curved or im retarded 👀
@@ALKtech I'm just scared about it will stop working some day because of that, and looking for other people opinions. Sorry for shitty english.
@@kleszczyk8194 hmm I just had a look at the video, it might just be a camera angle thing 🤔 I personally think you'll be fine, and if there really is an issue, at least you have a three-year warranty to fall back on...do you currently have a graphics card holder to prop up the RTX 4070 in your PC case?
@@kleszczyk8194did you get it?
Does it have LED light?
Nope this card does not have RGB!

This 4070 GPU is overpriced not value for money this should be under 400$
I too, long for the days where mid-range cards were truly at mid-range prices...
@@ALKtech 👍
is water a wet?
You have to understand, $500 dollars 5-years ago is equivalent to $700 now. Economy changes. Can’t expect same low prices for midrange when minimum wages go up along with inflation.
@@JayAve24 factor in the amount of money pumped in by central banks during the COVID period...the crypto boom to a certain extent - these prices are here to stay. Unless of course, demand for graphics cards tanks so badly due to economic conditions, that manufacturers decide to slash prices in due course. Let's see...
THE LOOKS ISN'T VERY IMPRESSIVE, I MISS EVGA FTW 3, WONDER HOW IT WOULD LOOK AND PERFORM AGAINST THIS CARD?

🤮
Junk. Performs same as rtx 3080 without a price decrease. Remember rtx 3080 was also USD $600 when it was released. Also a 12gb will age like milk. Only silver lining is its power consumption.
The benefits:
Dlss 3.0, size, power, drivers, vram over 8gb
Downsides:
It’s a cheaper 3080 with more vram kinda
With that in mind I actually choose to buy one
The 3080 is like $800 this card goes for $600 on best buy
This card will last much longer than the 3080 bc the 4070 does not draw 350 watts in load and does not heat up to 100 degrees, as it did with the 3080. Its dimensions are minimal, more memory, and also dlss 3.
@@user-kh7mw6te9p 3080 is 320 watts. 12GB is an insult for 2023. Good luck with it. About the heating. Only FE cards had issues had memory heating issues. Most AIB partners did well with their heatsink design.
@@Typhus1234 nah man.. 3080 isn't 320. 3080 = 350-370watts in games) Check in yt. So I will biy the rtx 4070ti for 600 dollars in my country (this is best price. In Russia this card cost 750-800dollars, so I will buy it for 600
A basic GPU... Not powerfull... And gigabyte has not paid even a single attention towards this GPU... Give it a solid 1.5/5
😂😂😂😂
