How do you decide which games you can play with a video card?

How you can play a game depends on a few important things. We'll list them for you:

  • First view the minimum and recommended specifications of a game.
  • Read the benchmarks and see if your game suits the video card you want to game with.
  • Decide in which resolution you want to game. The higher the resolution and the more detailed your settings, the more processing power your video card needs to create the frames.
  • Turn on DLSS or FSR support in your game, so you video card can create extra frames for a smoother gameplay.
  • Check whether your processor or RAM doesn't create a bottleneck. A processor that's too weak or has too little RAM reduces the performance of your game.

Which resolution and frames does the RTX 4070 achieve?

With an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, you can smoothly play all games at 60 fps in 1080p at minimum. Even when playing a demanding game like Microsoft Flight Simulator or Starfield. You don't need DLSS support for Full HD gaming. You can play lighter games at more than 60 fps in QHD, and in some cases even in 4K with DLSS on. That way, you can play Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 or Fortnite with the sharpest images without being bothered by lag or slowdowns.

Which open world games can you play with an NVIDIA RTX 4070?

The NVIDIA 4070 is powerful enough for even the most demanding open world games. You can play Cyberpunk 2077 at about 60 to 75 fps at high settings, for example. This is also the case for Hogwarts Legacy. We recommend the RTX 4070 as a minimum for games like Starfield as well. Thanks to the large 8GB RAM and the many cores, creating smooth images doesn't cost the RTX 4070 much effort. These games don't need DLSS support, but we do recommend it when you walk into regions with many textures and details.

RTX 4070 Flight Simulator

Which simulation and strategy games can you play with an NVIDIA RTX 4070?

The RTX 4070 is also the minimum recommended video card for Microsoft Flight Simulator when you want to play without DLSS. Thanks to the power of the RTX 4070, you can game at about 50 to 60 fps in Full HD. We do recommend turning on DLSS when flying over big cities. The details of the buildings will make the game slow down if you don't turn this on. You can even play lighter simulation games like The Sims 4 in 4K at 60 fps with the RTX 4070. Do you still want more power? Choose a gaming laptop with an RTX 4080 or RTX 4090.

RTX 4070 Call of Duty

Which shooters can you play with an NVIDIA RTX 4070?

Thanks to the high processing power of the RTX 4070, you can smoothly play all shooters in QHD at over 60 fps. This is useful when you need a bit more detail, like with a sniper. You can see the difference between the pixels of the surroundings and your opponent better, which gives you a great advantage. The game also looks prettier, so the graphics of certain maps come into their own better. For Call of Duty and Fortnite, you don't need DLSS support for 60+ fps in QHD.

4K vs FHD gaming laptop

Is QHD and 4K gaming possible with an NVIDIA RTX 4070?

The RTX 4070 smoothly displays all games in Full HD, but the card also has enough power for QHD or 4K gaming. You can play most light and medium demanding games like Fortnite, GTA V, and Call of Duty smoothly in QHD without DLSS support. More demanding games do need this. With DLSS, Cyberpunk 2077 achieves about 55 to 65 fps in QHD and Hogwarts Legacy between 50 and 60 fps. You can only play the lightest games in 4K with an RTX 4070, like Fortnite and The Sims 4. For 4K gaming, we recommend at least an RTX 4080.
