We're very excited about the launch of NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card (Don't believe us? Check out our breakdown!), and so we went above and beyond our usual launch-day benchmarking with not one, not two, but five different 4070s. But that's not all! We also tested a range of comparable cards from both this generation and previous, like the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, so you'll know exactly what to expect from NVIDIA's newest offering.
