Nvidia RTX 4070 Super Review

Here we present power draw figures for the graphics card-only, on a per-game basis for all twelve games we tested at 2160p (4K). This is measured using Nvidia's Power Capture Analysis Tool, also known as PCAT. You can read more about our updated power draw testing methodology HERE.

Per-Game Results at 2160p (4K):

12-Game Average at 2160p (4K):

Finally, at 4K we measured an average power draw of 217.6W, so more-or-less in line with the rated TGP, though some games did draw closer to 225W, as shown in the individual results above.

Ray tracing results

As a bonus, we now include the power figures for all six games we test with ray tracing enabled.

8-Game ray tracing average:

Interestingly, average power draw drops at 4K when looking at the ray traced games. This is mainly due to Alan Wake II, which chokes the 4070 Super at 4K with maximum ray tracing details – the GPU appears to be memory bandwidth or possibly VRAM starved, dropping power draw significantly.
