Buying call

Buy an RTX 4070 card used or discounted if you want efficient 1440p gaming: reviewers praised its 1440p performance, low power draw, compact size, DLSS 3 and ray tracing. Skip it if you're buying new, because the RTX 4070 Super is faster for the same launch price. Native 4K is a stretch, and reviewers found it only a modest upgrade over the RTX 30 series.
