At the moment, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super Founder’s Edition is still available direct from the GPU giant. However, upon adding one to my basket, I was placed in a queue of over 600 people, which suggests the card is already pretty sought after. It’s worth noting that custom variants, including stock cards priced at $599, are readily available at Newegg, so we’re not talking about a complete wipe out like a few years ago. Still, the FE model isn’t grab and go right now, and Nvidia caveats that “being in the queue does not guarantee a purchase” when it comes to its own RTX 4070.
Where to buy the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super
NvidiaThe $599 RTX 4070 Super Founder’s Edition is still available direct from Nvidia, but you will need to wait in a queue to get one. Waiting times seem to top out at five minutes, but that could change depending on how demand pans out.
NeweggThere’s a variety of RTX 4070 Super models ready to ship at Newegg right now starting at $599, ranging from the stock Zotac Twin Edge model to a rather pricey Asus TUF overclocked card.
Best BuyRTX 4070 Super stock hasn’t quite landed at the big box store, but we suspect it’ll become available to buy soon.
NvidiaUnlike the US, the UK Nvidia store is fresh out of RTX 4070 Super cards right now, but checking back for stock is worthwhile.
CurrysA small selection of RTX 4070 Super models are currently available at Currys, including a £599 custom card by Gigabyte.
Overclockers UKYou’ll find a hearty selection of custom RTX 4070 Super cards at Overclcokers UK right now, but the £599 models are apparently selling fast.
At the moment, the GeForce RTX 4070 Super is one of the best value mid-range Nvidia GPUs, especially since its lower spec sibling still costs $549. For an extra $50, you’re getting a graphics card that feels more like a suitable replacement for an RTX 3090, and it’s going to run rings around older flagship RTX cards.
That said, it’s worth noting that it’s still armed with the same 12GB GDDR6X VRAM, and that could be an issue if you’re looking to enjoy the new release well into the future. Typically, more memory is required when games offer up higher resolution textures, with 16GB proving to be somewhat of a sweet spot in some scenarios. Of course, if you’re looking for a true 4K experience, you’re going to want to opt for something like theRTX 4080 Superinstead anyway, as Nvidia’s mid-range selection really relies on AI trickery like DLSS 3.5 to pull off any sort of UHD action.

Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more
I’ve been messing around with PCs, video game consoles, and tech since before I could speak. Don’t get me wrong, I kickstarted my relationship with technology by jamming a Hot Wheels double-decker bus into my parent’s VCR, but we all have to start somewhere. I even somehow managed to become a walking, talking buyer’s guide at my teenage supermarket job, which helped me accept my career fate. So, rather than try to realise my musician dreams, or see out my University degree, I started running my own retro pop culture site and writing about video games and tech for the likes of TechRadar, The Daily Star, and the BBC before eventually ending up with a job covering graphics card shenanigans at PCGamesN. Now, I’m your friendly neighbourhood Hardware Editor at GamesRadar, and it’s my job to make sure you can kick butt in all your favourite games using the best gaming hardware, whether you’re a sucker for handhelds like the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch or a hardcore gaming PC enthusiast.
