Here’s exciting news for those in the UK looking to upgrade their GPU: the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 is now available for just £450 (~$478, considering tax differences) at Overclockers. This is an exceptional deal, especially considering the GPU was originally priced at $599 (£589) when it launched in 2023.
While the RTX 4070 has been overtaken by the new RTX 4070 Super in our guide to the best graphics cards, it remains a fantastic all-rounder, especially at this reduced price. The card on offer is a white MSI Ventus 2X OC model, which not only boasts a sleek design but also overclocks the GPU to a 2,520MHz boost clock, providing a 45MHz increase over the standard specs.
In our Nvidia RTX 4070 review, we praised its strong ray tracing capabilities and support for Nvidia DLSS 3, which includes frame-generation technology. It’s an excellent gaming GPU for 1080p and can also handle 1440p gaming with ease. At a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440, we observed the RTX 4070 averaging 93fps in Total War: Warhammer 3 on Ultra settings, and it even managed to achieve an average of 63fps in Cyberpunk 2077 at the same resolution with the Ultra ray tracing preset when frame generation was enabled.
While the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT does offer 4GB more VRAM and generally stronger rasterization performance, the RTX 4070 is a better overall value at this price. It excels in ray tracing performance, and DLSS 3 continues to have better game support compared to AMD’s FSR 3 frame generation technology.
Since its launch, the RTX 4070’s price has dropped from $599 to $549, but this current offer marks a new low. If you’re in the market for a mid-range GPU that can handle 1440p gaming with ray tracing, now is a perfect time to grab the RTX 4070. Act quickly, though—Overclockers indicates this deal will only be available until mid-next week, around August 14.
If you’re after even more gaming power, don’t miss our review of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super, which delivers the performance needed for 4K gaming.
