Why buy each?

NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super

Clearance value

Superseded but strong value — clearance pricing makes this competitive with the RTX 5070 Ti at launch MSRP.

16GB GDDR6X

Same VRAM capacity as its successor — no VRAM compromise.

Proven performance

A year of driver maturity ensures excellent stability.

Intel Arc A770

16GB GDDR6 at clearance prices

The cheapest way to get 16GB VRAM in a discrete GPU. Unmatched for VRAM-per-dollar.

Dramatically improved drivers

Intel's driver team has spent 2+ years maturing the Alchemist stack. DX12 and Vulkan are now solid.

XeSS upscaling

Intel's AI upscaler works across all GPU brands but is optimized for Arc hardware.
