IT GENUINELY FEELS like we're turning a corner in the world of PC gaming. Finally, we're leaving the shackles of 1080p behind, and heading to the clear, glossycoated clarity of 1440p and beyond. The likes of the RTX 4070 Super and 4070 Ti Super really do cement that notion. In fact, the entire Super range with either identical pricing and increased hardware, or similar hardware and significantly reduced pricing, is definitely a good thing.
So then, what card do we have on the chopping block this time? Well, this, as you've probably already spotted, is the MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super 16G Ventus 3X (seriously MSI, we need shorter names, come on now). Unfortunately, the 4070 Ti Super doesn't quite have the same glamor as the other GPUs in Nvidia's lineup, as it lacks a stock Founders Edition variant, so if you're on the hunt for a clean-looking black fan solution, you're going to be looking at other models, which is a shame. That said, there are a number of cards out there that look the part, and the MSI variant here certainly does that.
