The ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is a factory overclocked custom-design variant of NVIDIA's new release. Performance is impressive, the card can beat last generation's RTX 3090 Ti flagship, with almost double the energy efficiency and much lower heat and noise.

Three times faster, huh?

So barely matches 3090, I really hope nGreedia are dragged down for misleading claims.
Time to put on glasses.

Yes Nvidia, same as AMD shouldn't use the best case and say it does X times performance.
And the Game that brings that performance isn't even available. There is no public CP2077 with Overdrive, which seem to benefit greatly from DLSS3.
 
10% slower than 3090ti/7900xt, 15% faster than 3080 for 16% more and the cherry on the cake, 500gb/s, 560 overclocked, just same as my OC 3070 :roll: . It is bandwidth starving now in 4k, In few years this card will be even worse in the new games with such slow memory

@W1zzard The numbers of the Control benchmark in the "Raytracing & DLSS" section shows the same values for "Raytracing" and "DLSS" (with Raytracing). Am i missing something?
 
Given its price, I was expecting it to be slower than the 7900 XT. Still, given that it's as fast as the 3090, it will sell well, and put pressure on AMD to lower the price of the 7900 XT.
 
Did not look at the review yet, but all the posted reviews are of cards priced above the MSRP - does that even exist in the real world?

Yeah, look for the longer bar with DLSS enabled in the same chart.. for some reason they didnt get highlighted and I'm on holiday in Egypt right now
 
Welp.

The gap between the 4070ti and the 3070ti is the same as that between the 3070ti and the 2070 super (70%/100%). So, it's on par with previous increases. But, once we see pricing, this will be a tremendously more expensive uplift compared to all past generations of x070 cards. No surprise.

Vendors only sampled OC versions afaik. non-OC cards should exist. I'll be buying one so I have baseline performance for future reviews
 
Enjoy your holiday, @W1zzard . Thanks for the review. I love the new chart showing cooler performance by memory temperature:

I imagine, in a couple of weeks, it'll likely be more expensive than the 7900xt.
 
@W1zzard - you make a point saying it is good value considering the state of the market. I think it's clear to most readers that the cost/performance state of the graphics card market shouldn't be supported at all, in which case, it's fair to say that this card is still hugely overpriced, as they all are (AMD and NV) based on past 'normative' generations outside the influence of mining (and the resultant scalping).

yeah, i wouldn't worry about that part either: as AMD adds more lineup , they will launch with similar price -pressure to what produced this $200 price-drop on launch day!


The other side of the equation: as-long-as lock-downs in china and war in Ukraine keeps draining mind-share, the rest of your prices will remain slightly higher.

Whats with Borderlands 3 bench? It is majorly cpu limited? Why? The game engine?
 
On a side note, I don't like this trend of oversized coolers for cards with relatively modest power draw.

So does that mean there is no Founders Edition of the 4070ti?
 
And as expected, "editor's choice"

I swear, one of these two companies could release a card for $5k that is 5% faster than the 4090 and it'd still get an editor's choice. I mean just look at the Asus Strix 4080 review here that got that when it almost costs the same as a FE and AIB base 4090!

Have some damn integrity and call out this current dumpster fire of a gpu market instead of worrying about ruffling some Nvidia and AMD feathers. How come Hardware Unboxed, Gamers Nexus, and numerous other sites can call it like it is but here it's always the lame "editor's choice" conclusion? It's bad when even one of the mods here indirectly implies the conclusion is wonky.

Also, why is the 4090 listed at $2400? Pretty much every day there are restocks at the major online sites for the regular prices of the cards. By listing it at $2100, it gives any unsuspecting viewer the impression that somehow they can't ever find one at MSRP and it is horrible value compared to the rest of this gen when in reality it is probably the best "value" of all these overpriced cards. It feels like this is done simply to try and make all these other cards seem like they aren't as overpriced as they actually are.

TPU has great gpu reviews when it comes to the stats/data but the conclusions and "editor's choice" stuff really sucks as it reeks of shilling and I am positive most viewers feel the same as me and The Quim Reaper even if they won't admit it for fear of ruffling some TPU feathers.

Why is having some integrity such a rare thing these days?
 
Just don't buy it. Pretty sure that is what will happen anyway with what's going on in the world generally.
Wont buy either 30 or 40 series(equivalent AMD GPUs as well), got good deal on used 2080(within friend circle who upgraded to workstation class RTX)(paid roughly $250), for my workload(Helicon) so I am good another 1-2 years with 2080.

Wow, there are a LOT of people that are big mad about this card apparently. a GPU that meets the performance of a xx9x tier card for $800 isntead of $1600/2000 seems a pretty good deal on its face.

So am I the only one that noticed the 4070ti is as fast/faster at 1080p/1440p then the 3090ti? Surely I'm not the only one, right?

It's pricy, the cost of everything is high now. Welcome to hyperinflation, enjoy your stay.

Almost like the world's money supply increased by 50% in 18 months recently.........
