The RTX 4070 and 4070 Super both carry 12GB of video memory, which is why they still suit 1440p. Every pick has an RTX 4070-class card, ordered from the lowest price.
Rankings weigh graphics card, VRAM and processor as the makers state them; we did not test these gaming PCs ourselves, and any figure a maker omits is noted as missing.
