With the official launch of the NVIDIA RTX 4070 SUPER/4070 Ti SUPER, many related evaluation results have been released. Although both graphics cards are at least 10% higher than the non-SUPER version in terms of the number of CUDA cores, the actual performance improvement does not meet the expectations of most gamers. Not only that, but competitor AMD has also successively lowered the prices of the Ryzen 7000 series RX 7900XT and 7900XTX, making the RTX 40 SUPER graphics cards even more frustrating. A thousand words are summed up in one sentence: NVIDIA's knife method is not worth AMD's price cuts...
The newly released RTX 4070 Ti Super is powered by the AD103-275 GPU and has 8448 CUDA cores, which is 768 more than the RTX 4070 Ti's core chips. The card also comes with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory with a speed of 21 Gb/s per pin, support for 256-bit memory bit width, and increased throughput to 672GB/s. According to actual tests, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER will automatically increase the frequency to 2717-2776 MHz in games.
The Tom's Hardware website provides game test data, saying that the RTX 4070 Ti Super has an average performance improvement of 6-7% compared with the previous generation of non-SUPER products, and at 1440p resolution and using traditional raster graphics, the RTX 4070 Ti Super is 3% slower than the RX 7900 XT, but in terms of ray tracing, it is as much as 20% ahead.
In 4K gaming testing, the RTX 4070 Ti Super delivers a 10% improvement over non-SUPER devices and 2% slower than the RX 7900 XT. When using ray tracing, it is 9% faster than the RX 7900 XTX and 22% faster than the RX 7900 XT, which shows that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has a certain advantage in 4K resolution + ray tracing mode.
In terms of price, the lowest retail price of RTX 4070 Ti SUPER in the official self-operated flagship store of the graphics card brand is 6499 yuan, and the supply is sufficient. It is worth mentioning that NVIDIA has previously adjusted the price of non-SUPER models, and the lowest price of RTX 4070 Ti's self-operated store is 5649 yuan.
At present, the RX 7900XTX, which has an initial price of 7999 yuan, has been adjusted by some manufacturers to 6899 yuan. With dazzling parameters such as 24GB video memory capacity and 384bit video memory bit width, it can still resist the arrival of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER.
Finally, if you want to play games at 4K resolution, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and RX 7900 XTX are both options. It's just that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has the advantage in ray tracing and AI performance, while the RX 7900XTX is better in terms of memory capacity and high-resolution gaming. So, if you're just playing games and traditional raster graphics scenarios, then it is recommended to start with the RX 7900 XTX or even the RX 7900XT, and if you are often doing video rendering or AI-related work, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER may be more suitable.
