GHOST IN THE MACHINE THE RTX 4070 SUPER BUILD Anti-RGB in 2024

PEOPLE, REJOICE—the RTX Super cards have arrived, and with them comes some nicely tweaked internal specs, better performance across some models, and to top it all off, some consistency in their price tags.

What’s better than that, though? A super-sleek, stealthy, sexy, black founder’s edition graphics card from Nvidia, that’s what. There’s not a peep of RGB lighting on this little beauty. Nvidia really has come out of the gate swinging with its Super FE cards. You still get that same passthrough fan design throughout, the same 12VHPWR power cable location, and the same form factor as before (although bear in mind that this thing is far far far smaller than its RTX 4080 siblings), but most impressively, it’s that sleek mix of black metals and silver accents that really makes this thing stand out from the crowd.

That got us thinking—firstly, the obvious question is how does this card perform away from the top-tier, bottleneck-free test beds of the big brands, with something a little more down to earth on the CPU front? Secondly, can you make a kick-ass stealth build in 2024 that performs like a champ, cools like a king, and still looks the part?

That’s the aim of the game: build a budget, affordable, clean, kick-ass gaming PC, capable of hitting those 1440p and 4K resolutions with ease. Let’s dive in, shall we? –ZAK STOREY
