Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Super could be almost equal to the RTX 4080 and a seriously good GPU… but with one potential catch

Nvidia’s RTX 4070 Ti Tremendous is the subsequent refreshed graphics card within the agency’s trio of revamped Tremendous editions, releasing subsequent week, and we’ve simply caught sight of some leaked benchmarks.

Benchleaks is the supply of many benchmark leaks (you’d by no means guess) on X (previously Twitter), and has unearthed OpenCL and Vulkan scores from Geekbench 6 (as Tom’s {Hardware} observed).

The RTX 4070 Ti Tremendous scored 229,043 within the OpenCL take a look at, and notably the present RTX 4080 GPU is barely 5% quicker than that. Within the Vulkan take a look at, the 4070 Ti Tremendous obtained a results of 222,435 (add seasoning with all this pre-release leakage), and that’s really 7% quicker than the RTX 4080.

In comparison with the present RTX 4070 Ti, the brand new Ti Tremendous variant is 11% and 26% quicker in these two Geekbench exams respectively, all of which is suitably eye-opening.

Evaluation: A terrific GPU, maybe – however what about these inventory ranges?

Whereas these outcomes are actually spectacular, there are in fact some fairly weighty caveats to be thought of right here. We all the time say it when Geekbench scores come up, nevertheless it bears repeating – it’s hardly the primary selection for gaming benchmarks (that’d be 3DMark).

Ideally, we need to see non-synthetic real-world exams as a measure of gaming efficiency, naturally, and we do have a couple of small clues from Nvidia itself on that entrance.

When revealing its new RTX Tremendous refreshes, Crew Inexperienced offered some recreation comparisons, however what wasn’t so helpful is that Nvidia did the same old trick of solely evaluating the 4070 Ti Tremendous to older graphics playing cards, such because the RTX 3070 Ti and 2070 Tremendous, and never its present Lovelace siblings. Thoughts you, when it comes to the advance on its predecessor, the outcomes appeared good (the 4070 Ti Tremendous was over 3x as quick in Alan Wake 2, for instance, with ray tracing on at 1440p).

The broad expectation from the rumor mill sits at a 15% efficiency uplift – best-case situation, or possibly extra like 10% – for the RTX 4070 Ti Tremendous in comparison with the RTX 4070 Ti it succeeds (and completely replaces, if the rumors are proper – Nvidia is about to cease manufacturing of the vanilla Ti, and promote present inventory by way of, then that’s that).

Evaluating to the RTX 4080, the 4070 Ti Tremendous is supposedly round 5% to 10% shy, so this newest leak factors in direction of the previous extra optimistic situation. We may, then, be a compelling GPU that’s near the equal of the present RTX 4080 – which in itself is once more rumored to be discontinued (and changed by the opposite incoming refresh, the RTX 4080 Tremendous) – however which is less expensive.

Concerning these theoretically scrapped graphics playing cards, this might be the rub for the RTX 4070 Ti Tremendous.

By which we imply that whereas the outgoing RTX 4080 doesn’t have a lot inventory left to promote – it has carried out poorly, and Nvidia hasn’t performed a lot with manufacturing quantity in consequence – the RTX 4070 Ti seemingly does. And this can be the rationale why different rumors have indicated that of the three incoming RTX Tremendous refreshes, the RTX 4070 Ti Tremendous goes to have the bottom inventory ranges at launch. Nvidia and its companions must promote by way of the extra substantial present stock of 4070 Ti playing cards earlier than it may possibly crank manufacturing of the successor, and that might be a way down the road.

If this graphics card is in demand as a very good performer, plus it has low inventory, meaning it may promote out in a short time on launch day (not like the RTX 4070 Tremendous, notably). Time will inform, as ever, and it’s price remembering that Nvidia gained’t be promoting the RTX 4070 Ti Tremendous itself both – it gained’t have a Founders Version, simply third-party customized boards. (And given all of the above rumors, these might be pricier than we’d like, maybe).
