Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super Review: Extra VRAM Is Great, Perf Increase... Not So Much

Join Rich for a look at two versions of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super Max Turbo Edition: Hyper Fighting. In the absence of a Founders Edition, we've got the MSI Ventus 3x rendition, along with Asus's TUF Gaming offering. The aesthetics aren't that great, but what about the 4070 Ti Super itself? The extra VRAM is great, but despite the specs this is more 4070 Ti than 4080 in performance terms.

Gonna wait for the 5070 Ti Super Ultra Extreme Mountain Dew Edition

Good to know that Rich runs at a stable 72fps. Would’ve thought that he would be running at a higher fps.

This is one card that should be heavily tested in 4K scenarios as this is that card people claimed to be in an awkward spot as it has the power for 4K but the memory bandwidth could hold it back. So I would have liked to see the TI and TI Super go head to head in more 4K scenarios (with comparisons to 1440p and looking at the scaling)

[Ivan-prku]

Looks like the Ti Super exists simply to carry 16GB of memory, that's why it uses AD103 just for its 256-bit bus, while a whole lot of SMs and L2 cache being disabled to keep the performance tier down enough, apart from the memory bandwidth bonus. Not very compelling offer for that price.

Here in Canada, TUF Gaming 4070 Ti Super costs $1, 099. 4080 Costs $1, 629. That's enough said lol. Obviously, you just go with the Ti Super. Plus, 4070 Ti costs just $100 less than 4070 Ti Super, so just, again, go with Ti Super for the slight performance uplift along with 33% more VRAM.

However - if you don't need RT, DLSS, DLDSR, or CUDA for professional work, just go with 7900 XT obviously. Though DLSS is very good and comes with significant uplifts to image fidelity over native res, even though, yes, it's an upscaled image. One can't argue with the insanely good anti-aliasing it produces, though.

Truly one of the most bespoke video review implementations of all time.

[Anna_Rae]

Loved the video DF. I prefer these videos way more than the bar charts other channels do.

Some performance testing at native res, some with upscaling, some with RT, etc. I also find that the games you guys benchmark are much more in line with what I'm interested in.

[burnbarrelnetwork]

I think more users were excited for the 4070ti super than the 4070 super with the ram and bus speed being the selling point. After seeing recent reviews I will wait and see the price to performance of the last super.

[nilsholgersson]

It's peace of mind you buy with the 16GB version, 12GB just don't cut it for 4070ti level performance. It's just a little faster than the 12GB version but 4-5 years from now it will still slap while 4070ti 12GB will have to reduce texture settings. Considering it's the same price that 4070ti was and replaces it in the lineup, it's just Nvidia recognizing this is what this card should have been from the start.

[youtubevanced]

What’s so stupid is the problem was never the performance. No one wanted another 5% performance to tip them over the edge for a purchase.
The problem is the price.
The existing 4070 cards just needed a $200 price drop. So does the 4080 tbh. Should be 80 for $800, 70ti for $600 and 70 for $400.

[Woodzta]

Disappointing. We've had to wait all this time for an AD103 below $1k USD and the only thing going for it is the extra VRAM. Nvidia have never looked so stingy to me. I'm looking forward to see how the 4080 Super performs when it's out.

[jassco]

Everyone missing the 48MB cache cut from the 64 on the 4080. Matches the 4070 super cache, so this is why performance is closer to the 4070ti.

[MrBoz]

I truely am thankful for all that do reviews of products, the info is great. I just can't stand how most just pan these releases based on the fact of which cards they are replacing. 4070 ti to 4070 ti super. Ignoring the fact that most of us do not buy $500+ graphics card at every release. I bought in 2020 a 2070 super, I am super excited at the increases I will get on the 4070 ti super in my system. Compare how Cyberpunk runs 2070 vs this card? Advise if this is a good time to make that upgrade etc. I think it is and am stoked that I choose to wait until the supers were released. I will see you again in another 4 or 5 years when it time to upgrade again.

I got this card because it was the only nvidia card with 16gb of vram that didn’t cost $1, 000. It pretty much handles absolutely everything max settings 1440p. You can pathtrace with dlss 3.5 and it surprisingly plays very well

[johnbartender]

I’m rocking a 980 ti and still happy. But eh, I’m on pcsx2 at the moment.

Had this card since 2017. I’m a dinosaur.

[eraser]

1:49 according to the Nvidia website the 4070Ti also has two NVENC encoders.

[heemeshj]

Love the dradis I miss the BSG 2004 so say we all...

[flatbox]

Solid review. Where I am the price for the 4070 Ti and the Ti Super are almost identical. Its a no brainer for me as I was going to get the 4070 Ti anyway.
