Asus GeForce RTX 4070 ProArt OC

Asus GeForce RTX 4070 ProArt OC is a massive modification of the NVIDIA RTX 4070 video accelerator from Asus with 12 GB of video memory and support for updated ray tracing and DLSS 3.0 artificial scaling technologies. Unlike most Asus GPUs from the Twin, Gaming or ROG Strix series, this graphics card is designed for visual content specialists, artists, animators, VFX artists, game designers, etc.

It offers rich 3D graphics capabilities, including NVIDIA Studio, Replex latency optimizer and other proprietary NVIDIA technologies, and its expanded set of video ports makes it easy to connect external monitors. To highlight the nature of the device, the casing and fans are painted jet black, on which the gold-plated ProArt name and golden ratio logo sparkle. Additionally, the card was equipped with many interesting auxiliary goodies to simplify the workflow: a package of tools for working with 3D graphics NVIDIA Studio, software for improving image and sound quality during streaming, as well as small but useful utilities for reducing input lag and speeding up data exchange between SSDs and video card memory.

Otherwise, this is a completely familiar near-top-level video card from NVIDIA, which is based on the familiar AD104 graphics processor with 5888 stream processors, factory overclocking to 2565 MHz, support for DirectX 12 Ultimate and 12 GB of GDDR6X graphics memory. Equipped with a three-slot cooling system that provides efficient cooling of components with minimal noise. If necessary, it is ready for manual overclocking of the GPU and memory.

Thanks to the upgraded 3rd generation RT cores, it is capable of processing lighting and shadows in games more efficiently and realistically than NVIDIA video cards of the previous and the generation before. Well, tensor cores were taught to work with the optical flow field, thanks to which the quality and efficiency of DLSS smart scaling algorithms simultaneously increased. It is important to note that DLSS 3.0 is a generation exclusive and does not support NVIDIA 3000 series GPUs. If we put aside the creative purpose of this model and return to games, it turns out that it feels best in 2K resolution. For Full HD resolution its power is excessive, and in 4K FPS drops are guaranteed.
