NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Unleashed For $799 US: 16 GB G6X Memory, AD103 GPU, Aims For 7900 XT

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the second GPU in the SUPER stack and is priced to aim the AMD 7900 XT for $799 US.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER GPU is surely a weird and long name but this card has been upgraded significantly with a new core and more memory. With these updated specs, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is now positioned as an enthusiast-grade graphics card designed for 1440p 144Hz+ gaming, and based on its pricing, it is now aiming for the AMD 7900 XT which has an MSRP of $849 US.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER will feature a choice of AD103-275 / AD102-175 GPU SKUs (PG141 SKU 323) with 8,448 cores across both variants & 48 MB of L2 cache. The graphics card will also feature 16 GB of GDDR6 memory which will be a 4 GB VRAM upgrade vs the RTX 4070 Ti Non-SUPER and support a 256-bit bus interface. The graphics card will retain a 285 Watt TGP which is the same as the Non-SUPER variant.

The card offers 44 Shader TFLOPs, 102 RT TFLOPs, and 706 AI TOPs while supporting all the latest NV encode technologies such as AV1 and H.264. All of these combined put the RTX 4070 Ti within 90% of the performance of the original RTX 4080 and it essentially replaces the RTX 4070 Ti which also had the same MSRP.

In terms of gaming performance, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is said to be around 15% faster than the RTX 4070 Ti Non-SUPER which isn't a huge gain but custom models will deliver close to 15-20% performance boosts. The card is also stated to offer a 2.5x boost over the RTX 3070 Ti with frame-gen enabled and a 60% uplift versus the same card without frame-gen.

AI is a major talking point for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and the RTX 40 SUPER series in general, delivering up to 2x faster performance with DLSS 3.5, 70% faster image generation & 50% faster video generation speeds using ML optimizations through the Tensor-RT and Tensor-RT LLM stack that has been available on Windows and is being updated on the go.

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT GPU is the direct competition for this card as it retails super close at $849 US. The RX 7900 XT still holds the higher VRAM advantage with its 20 GB capacity while the RTX 4070 Ti will tackle it in rasterized and ray-traced games considering it is around 90% of the performance of a 4080 which rivaled the 7900 XTX.

Another talking point for the NVIDIA GeForce RT 40 SUPER GPUs such as the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is its class-leading performance efficiency. While the GPU is rated at 285W, the actual gaming wattage is around 240W on average which is almost half the TGP of the RTX 4090 and much lower than what the Radeon RX 7900 series consumes. The video playback power is also 20W out of the box while idle power is 12W, something that the AMD RDNA 3 GPUs had trouble fixing during launch.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER GPU will be available on the 24th of January in custom variants only since there's no Founders Edition of the card. It will start at $799 US. There are plenty of custom models to select from such as the ones shown below:
