If you're a Spider-Man fan, the RTX 4070 might just be the GPU for you, with a few wall-crawler-themed Zotac variants of the new Lovelace GPU have been announced today. This news comes just days after a Spider-Man mod of a Palit 4070 caught attention online.

While that Palit board was just a custom paint job that won't be purchasable online due to a lack of licensing, Zotac has unveiled a special range of limited-edition GeForce boards, after teaming up with Sony Pictures for the launch of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

The "Power the Hero in You" campaign from Zotac Gaming celebrates the upcoming animated film on June 2nd of this year, and will bring some of the best graphics card designs we've seen in a while to the shelves. The variants of the latest 40 Series GPU getting Spidey-themed makeovers are the Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 AMP AIRO, and the Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Twin Edge OC. That means you can get a hold of both twin-fan and trio-fan models with friendly neighborhood treatments.

Participants could potentially take away T-shirts, tote bags, keychains, stickers and lanyards, all with limited-edition branding of the upcoming film.

No explicit release date for these limited-edition GPUs has been revealed as of yet, however, anyone interested in entering the sweepstakes should head to Zotac's campaign landing page between May 26th and June 30th, 2023.

Meanwhile, Palit's earlier Spider-Man design has been doing the rounds on social media and headlines alike. The manufacturer teamed up with Italian Extreme Modders to create a blue and red faceplate design for its 4070.

The RTX 4070 launched on April 13th with our sister site PC Gamer stating "The RTX 4070 is cooler, quieter, more efficient, cheaper, and has some extra Frame Generation performance in its back pocket to give it the edge over the excellent old RTX 3080".

One of my earliest memories is playing SuperMario64 and wondering why the controller I held had three grips, but I only had two hands. Ever since I've been in love with video games and their technology. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship at Expert Reviews. Over the last decade, I’ve been managing my own YouTube channel about my love of games too. These days, I'm one of the resident hardware nerds at GamesRadar+, and I take the lead on our coverage of gaming PCs, VR, controllers, gaming chairs, and content creation gear. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension.
