MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is approximately 8-10% better than the RTX 4070 Ti in terms of gaming performance but still not as impressive compared to the 13-18% gain that we have observed on the RTX 4070 SUPER. The power efficiency is just as impressive as other RTX 40 series cards we’ve tested so far, as the power draw during gaming sessions hovers at around 230-260W while being able to deliver performance that easily exceeds the previous-gen flagship RTX 3090 while using 20% less power.

MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super Ventus 3X is the company's base model for the RTX 4070 Ti Super, it still offers a triple-slot, triple-fan cooling solution. In terms of clock speeds you get the NVIDIA reference boost of 2610 MHz. Averaged over the 25 games in our test suite, at 1440p, we find the card only 2% faster than 4070 Ti non-Super, which is much less than expected. While the gains at 4K are slightly bigger with 5%, the performance is definitely lower than the other cards tested today, which reach around 6% and 9% respectively. Originally the card was even slower, showing virtually no performance gains over the RTX 4070 Ti. NVIDIA provided the MSI Ventus sample to us directly, to act as "reference baseline" solution in our reviews—due to the lack of a Founders Edition. With these performance numbers RTX 4070 Ti Super is a perfect match for 1440p with maximum settings, it's actually slightly overkill, which means that the card is a decent option for 4K monitors, too, or for 1440p at 120/144 Hz. While you won't be able to game at 4K60 at highest settings, just dropping them down a bit should help get those 60 frames and there's always the various upscaling technologies, especially if you plan on enabling ray tracing.
