This is a GPU that’s ready to take your gaming and creation voyages into uncharted waters. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU supports AI-powered DLSS 3.5. DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) leverages AI to boost frame rates, enhance visuals and ensure smooth gameplay and visual quality.

Ray tracing, a technology that simulates how light behaves in real life is unleashed thanks to ultra-efficient Ada Lovelace architecture. Experience the virtual worlds of your favorite AAA tiles stacked with incredible detail and life-like light, you may find yourself questioning reality itself. Gaming aside, when there’s work to get on with, Nvidia Max-Q technologies step in to optimize all aspects of the Triton 14, from the CPU to the display, thermals, and more, making powerful, slim and quiet gaming laptops like the Triton 14 possible.

There are several other AI infused performance advantages the GeForce RTX GPU brings to the table with DLSS 3.5. Content creators can make use of over 100 AI-enabled, RTX accelerated apps including the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, Blender, Blackmagic Davinci Resolve, and OBS Studio. What’s more, Nvidia Studio’s suite of AI tools further transforms creative workflows, pushing creativity to new frontiers with next-gen DLSS and OptiX.

A screen to be seen with
