3D Mark Time Spy shows a solid GPU score of 20,815 points, making the Gigabyte RTX 4070 Super Aero OC graphics card the best performing RTX 4070 Super I have tested. The CPU didn't break any records but still managed a respectable 13,901 points.

The memory found in the Helio Ultra is 32GB (2x16GB) of Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 running at 6400MT/s – This shows in our AIDA64 memory benchmark, with speeds that will easily handle gaming and most work scenarios.

Finally, PC Mark 10 highlights the systems overall capabilities. The content creation category is the clear leader thanks to the dedicated graphics card and ‘gaming' design of the system.
