play00:00

If the most valuable thing about mid-to-high-end N cards is the video

play00:03

memory, it can only be the video memory. In

play00:04

the 30-series era,

play00:05

the 3080Ti and 3090 have almost only a difference in video memory capacity,

play00:09

but the price difference is 3,000 yuan.

play00:11

The price difference between the 4090 and RTX 6000 Ada with the same core is several times

play00:16

higher. Yellow video memory is as valuable as iPhone memory.

play00:19

So when I knew that the 4070Ti SUPER would be equipped with a 16G video memory as large as the 4080,

play00:24

I knew that it would not only be the video card with the longest name

play00:28

, but also the most important one among the three SUPERs.

play00:32

The biggest flaw

play00:33

when the 4070Ti was launched was its 12GB 192-bit video memory

play00:37

. This gave it more core performance than the 3090Ti

play00:40

but failed at 4K resolution.

play00:42

The biggest upgrade of the 4070Ti SUPER is here. If you

play00:46

simply compare the specifications,

play00:47

you will find that the 4070Ti SUPER uses The number of AD103 core CUDA from 4080

play00:51

has increased from 7680 to 8448

play00:55

light tracing units, texture units and Tensor Cores have also increased in proportion,

play00:58

which is about 10%. The core specifications have been improved.

play01:01

The video memory has increased to 16GB, 256bit specifications,

play01:04

which are consistent with the 4080

play01:05

cache and 4070Ti. 48M

play01:07

will be smaller than the 64M of 4080. The

play01:11

official default power consumption wall is 285W,

play01:13

which is consistent with 4070Ti.

play01:15

From the overall specifications,

play01:16

compared to the big brother of 4070Ti,

play01:18

this card is more like the younger brother of 4080.

play01:22

It is a pity that

play01:23

4070Ti SUPER does not have an FE version .

play01:25

What I received is the non-public version 4070Ti SUPER from ASUS.

play01:29

This picture is the ASUS TUF 4070Ti SUPER.

play01:32

The three-fan design is close to 3 slots thick.

play01:34

The volume is slightly

play01:39

smaller than the FE version 4080 and 4090. The over-the-shoulder height is not that high.

play01:41

Compared with the TUF version of 4080 and 4090. The power supply interface is

play01:45

obviously smaller. It is no surprise that a 16pin interface is used

play01:49

to disassemble the radiator.

play01:50

The PCB layout of TUF 4070 Ti SUPER

play01:53

is almost the same as that

play01:55

of several TUFs in the 4070 series , indicating that AD103 and AD104 can share Pin2Pin.

play01:59

The core code of the board design is AD103-275

play02:02

. A total of 10 phases of core power supply and 2 phases of memory power supply are arranged on the PCB. The

play02:06

inductor is also pressed with a thermal pad to reduce howling.

play02:09

We also received this picture of ROG's Strix 4070Ti SUPER.

play02:13

The appearance design of the card is exactly the same as that of Strix 4070Ti. It

play02:17

has the same heat dissipation and

play02:19

the size is much larger than TUF.

play02:20

Of course, as a 70-level product,

play02:23

its size is still much smaller than that of 80 and 90 Raptors.

play02:26

In terms of thickness, it has lost a lot of weight. But

play02:29

the design language is basically the same,

play02:31

so let’s start performance testing directly!

play02:35

The first is 3Dmark. In Time Spy,

play02:37

4070Ti SUPER ran a score of 24,723 points.

play02:40

This score is only 7.4% higher than 4070Ti

play02:43

and almost 13% lower than 4080.

play02:46

It seems that the improvement of 4070Ti SUPER is not that big.

play02:50

Time has higher pressure. In Spy Extreme,

play02:52

4070Ti SUPER ran a score of 12145,

play02:55

which is 10.2% higher than 4070Ti.

play02:58

This is in line with the specification improvement,

play03:01

but the gap between it and 4080 is still 14%.

play03:04

In the light tracing performance test,

play03:05

4070Ti SUPER is also about 10% better than 4070Ti. 10%

play03:09

but still 12% weaker than the 4080.

play03:11

The theoretical test results seem to indicate that

play03:13

the 4070Ti SUPER is a card better at high resolution and high pressure.

play03:18

But it is obviously still far behind the 4080.

play03:21

So in actual games,

play03:22

the 4070Ti SUPER What kind of performance will it look like?

play03:25

Let’s run a few games to see.

play03:26

The first is CS2.

play03:27

The test method we use here is still the demo produced by CSGO-Purple.

play03:31

This scene includes two parts, Inferno point B and point A,

play03:34

as well as common throwing objects, which

play03:35

is more in line with the actual game situation.

play03:37

The game CS2 proved to us last time how stressful it is. In

play03:41

the end,

play03:41

the 4070Ti SUPER ran an average frame of 252fps at 2K,

play03:45

11% stronger than the 4070Ti, 11%

play03:47

weaker than the 4080,

play03:49

and perfectly nailed between the two cards at

play03:51

4K. A similar situation continues below.

play03:53

The average frame rate of 127fps is 12% stronger than 4070Ti and 12%

play03:56

weaker than 4080.

play03:58

Lao Huang’s knife skills are really amazing.

play04:00

But how do I remember that 4070Ti used to be called 4080 12G,

play04:06

so what should this card be called?

play04:09

4080 16G SE?

play04:11

Next is the veteran 3A Red Dead Redemption 2.

play04:15

In Cousin 2 with 2K resolution,

play04:16

the 4070Ti SUPER is 9% stronger than the 4070Ti

play04:20

but 12% weaker than the 4080.

play04:23

It seems that it is still closer to the 4070Ti.

play04:25

After turning on the DLSS balance file

play04:27

The gap between the three has been reduced.

play04:30

Will turning the resolution higher make it closer to 4080?

play04:34

In the end,

play04:35

the 4070Ti SUPER still maintained the same performance gap as that under 2K resolution at 4K resolution

play04:39

. On the contrary, after turning on DLSS,

play04:41

it was even more powerful than the 4070Ti

play04:44

. Overall, it was an improvement that was neither surprising nor pleasant. So

play04:48

in TGA's best performance?

play04:52

Among the best continuously operating games, Cyberpunk 2077, the 4070Ti SUPER

play04:56

is only 6% better than the 4070Ti and 17% weaker than the 4080 at 2K with neither ray tracing nor DLSS turned on.

play05:03

It seems that the number of CUDA is the most important here.

play05:06

After the resolution is turned to 4K,

play05:08

the 4070Ti SUPER clearly has a gap with the 4070Ti. It

play05:12

is 13% stronger than the 4070Ti,

play05:13

but still 18% weaker than the 4080.

play05:17

The big brother is still the big brother.

play05:18

Then we continue to increase the intensity and turn on

play05:20

the ray tracing. After 2K,

play05:22

the 4070Ti SUPER is stronger than the 4070Ti. It is 8%

play05:25

weaker than the 4080 and 13% weaker

play05:27

than the 4080. The gap between it and the 4080 is obviously smaller than without light pursuit.

play05:31

So we further increase the resolution to 4K.

play05:33

At this time, the gap between the 4070Ti SUPER and the 4070Ti directly widens to 18%,

play05:37

the gap between the 4080 and the 4080. It has also been reduced to 10%

play05:40

, just as we expected.

play05:42

The greater the pressure, the farther away it is from the 4070Ti.

play05:45

After turning on the DLSS balance file,

play05:47

there is still a similar gap between the three cards

play05:50

, and further turning on the light reconstruction and frame generation of DLSS3.5. After technology,

play05:54

the 4070Ti SUPER can also exceed the average frame rate of 60fps in 4K

play05:58

, but the 4080 will leave the 4070Ti SUPER behind at this time.

play06:03

Finally

play06:04

, let’s run again

play06:08

the heavyweight work that made the three brothers of the 4070 family 12G video memory directly explode the video memory - Soul The video memory usage of the game Hitman 2

play06:11

is simply devilish.

play06:14

First of all, without turning on ray tracing,

play06:16

the 4070Ti SUPER is 10% stronger than the 4070Ti

play06:17

at 2K resolution

play06:21

and 8% weaker than the 4080.

play06:23

At 4K, the gap is 7% and 11% respectively, and

play06:26

the overall gap is between After turning on ray tracing between the two cards

play06:28

, the situation is different. At 2K,

play06:30

the 4070Ti SUPER is 20% better than the 4070Ti.

play06:34

At 4K,

play06:35

the 4070Ti can no longer run normally. The 4070Ti SUPER

play06:38

still maintains a frame rate of 20fps with its

play06:41

larger video memory. Although this frame rate

play06:43

is still far from being playable,

play06:46

compared with 3fps e-sports, it is still too much.

play06:50

Future games will inevitably consume more video memory.

play06:53

This is the most meaningful improvement of 4070Ti SUPER.

play06:56

In order to be able to To play this game normally with

play06:58

this level of graphics card, you still have to turn on DLSS.

play07:01

After turning on the balanced DLSS,

play07:03

the frame rate of each graphics card is doubled. More than

play07:06

2K,

play07:07

the 4070Ti SUPER is 15% stronger than the 4070Ti and

play07:10

10% weaker than the 4080

play07:12

at 4K. is to further widen the gap to 24% and 9%

play07:16

Therefore, it is not difficult to see that the greater the pressure of the game,

play07:18

the greater the lead of 4070Ti SUPER.

play07:21

We continue to enable the frame generation technology of DLSS3.

play07:23

The lead of 4070Ti SUPER under 2K has narrowed.

play07:27

However, under 4K, it is due to the relationship between the video memory capacity and

play07:30

the already exploded video memory. The 4070Ti 4070Ti SUPER that is "complementing frames"

play07:33

can obviously work normally.

play07:36

At this time, the memory usage has exceeded 13G and

play07:39

the frame rate has reached an average of more than 60fps.

play07:42

In this case,

play07:43

the gaming experience of 4070Ti SUPER will be much better than that of 4070Ti.

play07:47

Summary Looking at the results of the game test,

play07:49

it is obvious that the 4070Ti SUPER is a card that has more advantages the higher the pressure.

play07:53

Compared to the 4070Ti, which is weak in high-pressure scenarios,

play07:55

the 4070Ti SUPER has a higher graphics memory configuration and

play07:58

is obviously better than the 4K+ ray tracing scenario. 4070Ti is more calm.

play08:02

In the end,

play08:04

4070Ti SUPER has a comprehensive improvement of 8.44% over 4070Ti in 2K,

play08:08

10.3% in

play08:10

4K, and 11.3%

play08:11

in 2K and 14.93%

play08:13

in ray tracing.

play08:16

It is the only 70-level graphics card of this generation that can be said to be good at it. 4K game model

play08:20

, so if you are a 4K resolution player,

play08:23

the improvement of 4070Ti SUPER is still very meaningful.

play08:26

The power consumption wall of 4070Ti SUPER maintains the same 285W as 4070Ti

play08:31

, so will it not have the same power consumption wall

play08:33

as 4070 SUPER? Woolen cloth?

play08:35

In fact, this 285W power consumption wall is still very suitable for it.

play08:39

In the 3DMark Time Spy test, it basically ran close to this power consumption wall

play08:43

, but at the same time, it rarely downclocked due to encountering the power consumption wall.

play08:47

Compared with the 4070Ti The power consumption is slightly high

play08:49

, but it is very limited.

play08:51

I also tested the heat dissipation performance of ASUS's TUF 4070Ti SUPER.

play08:55

I used Furmark to maintain a power consumption of 285W

play08:57

in an open environment at 25 degrees Celsius. After 5 minutes

play09:00

, the BIOS was in the default performance mode. It finally

play09:02

reached the core temperature of 61 degrees and the memory temperature of 62 degrees.

play09:06

At this time, the fan speed was less than 1400 rpm.

play09:09

The sound was perceptible but very small.

play09:11

The temperature performance was quite cool.

play09:13

After switching to the quiet mode BIOS,

play09:16

the GPU temperature correspondingly reached 65 degrees

play09:18

of the video memory . The temperature is 66 degrees.

play09:20

At this time, the fan speed is only 1100rpm and there is

play09:23

almost no noise.

play09:25

I am quite impressed by the cooling performance of TUF 4070Ti SUPER. The performance

play09:29

is outstanding

play09:30

. The upgrade of the video memory of 4070Ti SUPER from 12G to 16G

play09:34

is not only attractive to gamers. Besides,

play09:36

the most in demand is probably the cyber painters who use Stable Diffusion to draw.

play09:41

I tested the performance under the SD1.5 model and the performance under the SDXL 1.0 model respectively.

play09:46

The Sampling Steps were set to 50 times.

play09:48

Sampling method we ran Euler a

play09:50

SD1. 5 We generate 512x512 graphs

play09:54

and SDXL generates 512x512 and 1024x1024 graphs respectively

play09:58

and use the TensorRT plug-in

play10:00

to maximize their performance .

play10:01

In the end

play10:02

, the 4070Ti SUPER is significantly better than the other three members of the 4070 family .

play10:07

The overall performance is significantly closer to the 4080

play10:09

, and the 16G video memory and 12G video memory is sometimes not only a difference in speed, but also

play10:14

a difference in whether it can run.

play10:16

Therefore, for users with AI needs,

play10:19

the purchase value of 4070Ti SUPER is obviously much higher than that of 4070Ti.

play10:23

In Blender

play10:24

, 4070Ti SUPER is also better than

play10:27

There is still a certain gap between 4070Ti and 4080

play10:29

, but in large projects,

play10:31

16G video memory and 12G video memory will still face the difference between running and not running,

play10:36

so if your project is relatively

play10:38

large , 4G video memory will be stronger than 4070Ti. Performance is more valuable.

play10:42

This test is almost completed,

play10:44

but I feel like there is still something unfinished

play10:47

!

play10:47

I haven’t overclocked this 4070Ti SUPER yet!

play10:50

Since it is also the AD103 core

play10:52

4070Ti SUPER overclocking, can it catch up with the big brother 4080?

play10:57

I used this ASUS TUF 4070Ti SUPER and finally reached

play11:00

the core frequency of 3045MHz and the memory frequency of 24GHz.

play11:04

At this time, the 3Dmark Time Spy score has exceeded 26600 points.

play11:07

Although it is a lot higher,

play11:08

it is obviously still different from the 4080 default score of more than 28000 points. The gap was not small

play11:14

, so I took out ROG's 4070Ti SUPER Raptor.

play11:18

The power consumption of this card is as high as over 360W

play11:22

. What surprised me the most was that

play11:24

the performance of this ROG Raptor was so good that

play11:28

it easily exceeded the core frequency of 3165MHz.

play11:32

In the end, it successfully reached the Time Spy graphics score of 27,500.

play11:37

This score is very close to the default 4080

play11:41

, but unfortunately it still cannot reach the performance of 4080.

play11:44

So if you want to buy a 4070Ti SUPER to use with 4080,

play11:49

I would advise you to give up. This idea,

play11:52

then the above is the entire content of this issue's 4070Ti SUPER first test.

play11:57

As I said before in the 4070 SUPER first test video,

play12:00

SUPER is largely NVIDIA's official "decent" price reduction product.

play12:06

The main market purpose of 4070Ti SUPER is The disgusting rival 7900XT

play12:11

forced the 7900XT to cut its price to cope with the situation

play12:14

. Compared with the 4070Ti,

play12:16

the 4070Ti SUPER maintains the price of 6,499 yuan and

play12:19

directly makes up for the biggest shortcomings of the 4070Ti

play12:23

by carrying the AD103 core and 256bit 16G video memory.

play12:26

However, in scenarios where the video memory is sufficient,

play12:28

The absolute performance improvement of 4070Ti Super is only about 10%, and

play12:33

then only the performance time of 4080 SUPER is left

play12:37

. So we will see you next week.
