I’ve got some credits to use up at bestbuy. Decide to get a new GPU for my secondary build. I decided to go with a 4070 Super. As the AMD options are to big for my case.
So my options are the NVIDA 4070 Super FE or the Gigabyte 4070 Super gaming OC.

Anyone have any experiences with these cards.
Thanks in advance
Here are links just for some more details.

This my case
 
Hey there,

TBH, I wouldn't recommend the 4070 Super. Morso the 4070Ti Super. If you're gonna buy a new GPU getting one with 16gb vram is important right now. 12gb Isn't cutting it for newer games at 1440p.

What monitor will you be using?
I’ve got a pc that has 4090. This is just my second rig. I don’t plan on playing anything agressive on this but I want a little power. I’m locked to bestbuy. And right now these are options that seem to fit in the case.

Okay, the cheapest 4070ti Super is a $200 premium, prob not worth it.

But, at least you know.

Between the two, I actually lean more to the FE. I do like the blower style as it doesn't dump hot air into the case. In terms of performance, even OC'd cards have about 2-5% increase. Not worth it IMO. You can OC the FE to the same clocks, The FE might be a little louder though.

I wonder how much louder the blower is on the FE compared to the Gigabtye ?
