MSI Gaming X Slim NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super 12GB

I use this to accelerate quantum computer simulations and photo processing on my workstation, which is a Nuc11 Extreme. I had a 3080-based card in the box, and it became clear that the power supply and cooling were not quite up to the task. I was getting random hard restarts with the old card, indicating either a problem with the card, main board or, most likely, just the power supply being overstretched. I popped this card in, as it has comparable performance will requiring far less power, and the system runs much cooler and more reliably. Works well with the Qiskit AER GPU simulator, as well as LightRoom Classic and DxO - which are among my primary uses.
