The Lenovo Legion RTX 4070 Super Gaming PC Can Handle 4K Gaming for $1350
Currently the least expensive pre-built 4070 SUPER desktop available
Lenovo is offering an Lenovo Legion Tower 5i Gen 8 gaming PC equipped with a GeForce RTX 4070 Super GPU for only $1,349.99 after coupon code: "CRAZYLEGION1". That's a $950 price drop from its original $2,300. The RTX 4070 Super GPU is one of NVIDIA's most popular graphics cards; it performs admirably at 1080p and 1440p gaming, but has the chops to run games in 4K as well. I personally gamed on a 4K monitor with a RTX 3080 GPU (which is less powerful than the RTX 4070 Super) before I finally upgraded to a newer card.
Update: This coupon code was supposed to end already, but it's still available. It may expire soon.
Lenovo Legion Tower 5i RTX 4070 Super Gaming PC
The Lenovo Legion Tower 5 Gen 8 is equipped with an Intel Core i7-14700F CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 Super GPU, 32GB of DDR5-4400MHz RAM, and dual storage (1TB M.2 SSD and 1TB HDD). The 14th generation Intel Core i7-14700F Raptor Lake Refresh CPU boasts a max clock of 5.4GHz with 20 cores, 28 threads, and a 33MB cache. It's a great processor for both gaming and work (on par with the newest Ryzen 7 CPUs). It's cooled by a robust tower heatsink fan.
The RTX 4070 Super video card is a significant improvement in performance over the 4070 (about 10-15% faster at 1440p according to our RTX 4070 Super review). It also has 12GB of VRAM compared to the 4070's 8GB. Like all RTX 40 series cards, the RTX 4070 Super supports DLSS 3.0, which gives it an edge in performance over similarly priced AMD GPUs. This is an excellent GPU for 1080p or 1440p gaming, but it's also more than capable of 4K gaming. At that point a RTX 4070 Ti or higher will give you noticeable gains, but you should be still be able to squeeze 60fps in most games with some graphics settings tweaking (especially with DLSS enabled).
