Summary
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super has made considerable gains, which of course had good reasons from NVIDIA’s point of view. Once again, we see that competition stimulates business. AMD is really playing spoilsport here and now by slashing the price of the similarly fast Radeon RX 7900XT. Of course, this only works actively with a certain subsidy, but at least it works for the customer and retailers are happy to follow suit. At 749 euros, the cheapest RX 7900XT is up to 150 euros cheaper than this card at 899 euros.
This sum normally represents the difference between two real performance classes. And that’s exactly what the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super can’t quite do in the end. However, it remains to be seen how long AMD can and will be able to afford the subsidized price. However, if it becomes a permanent low price, then NVIDIA and its board partners will have a real problem because the price is not sustainable. And NVIDIA does not offer certain tempting features that AMD does not.
NVIDIA has finally expanded the memory to make it more future-proof, even at higher resolutions. All in all, a chip with 10 percent more shader units (including more Tensor and RT cores) achieves the theoretically possible performance increase in gaming between around 6 percent in WQHD and up to 10 percent in Ultra HD, as long as the CPU is not limiting. This is real progress, which may also be due to the slightly higher clock rate. The fact that the efficiency has even increased is also due to the better yield, the higher chip quality and the better Speedo value as the basis for virtual binning including boost.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super is an excellent card in WQHD when it comes to the highest frame rates and is also quite suitable for Ultra HD. At the latest then, however, you will have to think about smart upscaling in places and this is where DLSS and frame generation come into play. Meanwhile, games such as “The Last of Us Part 1” (TLOU) look subjectively even better in Ultra HD with DLSS than native Ultra HD. This is where NVIDIA can really play to its advantages, which DLSS 2.x and, above all, DLSS 3.5 also offer in purely visual terms.
However, if a game also supports frame generation and you would still be bobbing around in the less playable FPS range even with super sampling, then this can even be a lifeline to good playability. You can’t improve the latency with it, but not every genre is as latency-bound as various shooters. I would have really liked DLSS 3.5 for TLOU, but you can’t have everything. From this point of view, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super completely fulfills all expectations based on the data already published. All the AI including the appropriate programs, DLSS 3.5, frame generation and the often better latencies are also good arguments. If it weren’t for the current dumping by AMD, however, which should suit the customer just fine.

The cooler is just the right size and it’s good to know what reserves it still has up to 320 watts. The card is quiet enough and you could even turn it down a few rpm, depending on the case. The lack of pads between the backplate and PCB is not so nice, but it is certainly simply due to the price. The PCB as such is better than that of all the normal UVP cards, because eleven voltage converters are better than nine on the UVP cards. This means that, partly because of the possible 320 watt power limit, it has become a quite functional assembly that has no shortcomings. Visually, the card is of course a matter of taste, but it is reasonably timeless and also beautifully illuminated in color.
Conclusion
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super with the AD103-275-A1, in this case the one from KFA2, is a thoroughly interesting upper mid-range card, but nothing more at the moment. But nothing less either. Especially in view of the AMD Radeon RX 7900XT and the current price difference, it won’t sell for its really good features, but rather only for its street price. Apart from the outdated display port connection, I don’t see any disadvantages with the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super that would speak against this card, only the price has been badly undermined by the red competitor. In addition, KFA2 has shown with the EX that even the “cheap” OC card can almost perfectly convert the additional performance of the significantly increased number of shaders into adequate gaming performance and can even go one better with OC. So it’s definitely worth buying if you want to and can.
The graphics card was provided by KFA2 for this test without obligation. The only condition was compliance with the embargo period, no influence or compensation was given.
