Q & A

What new testing methods were introduced in this GPU review?

This review introduced GPU power efficiency testing, measuring FPS per watt, and latency testing.

How does the 4070 Ti Super compare to the regular 4070 Ti?

The 4070 Ti Super provides around a 10-11% performance uplift at 4K over the regular 4070 Ti due to upgrades to the memory subsystem.

What are the key differences between the 4070 Ti Super and the 7900 XT?

The 4070 Ti Super has better ray tracing performance but the 7900 XT is faster in traditional rasterization. The 4070 Ti Super is more power efficient.

Which GPU was the most power efficient in the testing?

The RTX 4080 was the most power efficient GPU tested.

How did increasing CPU load impact GPU efficiency?

Increasing CPU load actually decreased GPU efficiency, as the GPU power draw remains high but the GPU is unable to fully utilize its capabilities.

How did resolution impact the gains from the 4070 Ti Super's memory upgrades?

The memory upgrades had more impact at higher resolutions like 4K where the memory subsystem is more stressed.

What game showed the biggest performance gains for the 4070 Ti Super?

Cyberpunk 2077 showed very large gains for the 4070 Ti Super over the regular 4070 Ti, up to 70% with ray tracing enabled.

How did the 4070 Ti Super compare to previous generation cards like the 2070?

The 4070 Ti Super provided massive gains over previous cards like the RTX 2070, with performance improvements of 150-200% in many tests.

Did the 4070 Ti Super fully eliminate stuttering compared to the regular 4070 Ti?

No, in some tests like Cyberpunk at 4K Ultra, the 4070 Ti Super had better minimum frame rates but still exhibited some stuttering.

What is the overall assessment of the 4070 Ti Super launch?

It's a modest improvement over the regular 4070 Ti, but pricing remains high. It seems like a middle ground between the more interesting 4080 Super and 4070 launches.
