How Much Does it Cost?
The Nvidia RTX 4070 Super hits the market with an MSRP of just $599, with the Founders Edition and other MSRP cards hitting that price range. Obviously, non-MSRP cards will be a little more than that, easily ranging from around $20-100 price difference for various upgraded configurations. However, I wouldn’t expect much more than that, given that the price of the upcoming RTX 4070 Ti Supers is said to be $799 and the RTX 4080 Super at $999, so it would make sense to keep some space between each model. Considering the older non-Super models are now officially end of life and these new cards are replacing them, it makes the Super variants extremely appealing, with more power for the same price, it’s really hard to argue. It seemed like prices would keep going up forever, but at least for now, things are heading in the right direction.

Overview
I think it’s fair to say that all of the MSRP cards performed largely the same as the Founders Edition, but that doesn’t mean they’re not tempting propositions, as they each offer their own unique aesthetics, coolers, and a few other bells and whistles that may or may not appeal to you as a consumer. For starters, there is brand loyalty, with just 1-2 FPS between most of the cards in various games, it could simply come down to you wanting to match the brand of your case, motherboard, keyboard or whatever else to the brand of your graphics card.
INNO3D has managed to keep their card surprisingly compact, with a 2-slot design and two fans, it’s going to be more compatible with smaller form factor/slimmer PC builds. Furthermore, it’s clear that the smaller cooler isn’t hampering the performance of the chipset either, so don’t worry about needing a larger card just for the heck of it.
It’s a nice-looking card too, with the fake metal plastic shroud having that industrial two-tone look to it, it’s going to look great in any gaming build. There’s no fancy RGB or any of that stuff either, with may be a con for some, but to me, I think it looks great as it is. The fans are removable too, which makes cleaning and maintaining the card easier.

Should I Buy One?
My conclusion here is the same as what I said for the Nvidia RTX 4070 Super Founders Edition, as I feel the same is very true for all the non-MSRP cards. Between the AMD 7800 XT and the Nvidia RTX 4070 SUPER, it’s an extremely close race on average, with AMD coming in around $100 cheaper, that’s maybe a no-brainer for some, but I still think Nvidia lead the pack with their scaling, frame generation and ray tracing technologies, and for some, that’s worth paying the extra premium.
