Compute Benchmarks

Now some people don’t need a video card for gaming, they need the processing power for rendering or 2D/3D production, or in some cases, people who game also do work on the side. So it is also important to check out the compute performance on all of the video cards that come in. That includes doing a few different tests. My first test was a simple GPU Compute benchmark using PassMark's Performance Test 10.2 and the TUF Gaming RTX 4070 Ti SUPER was surprisingly close to the RTX 4080 here, really putting a gap between it and the original RTX 4070 Ti as well with an 11% improvement. The RX 7900 XT and even the RX 7900 XTX are both well below the original 4070 Ti here.

Blender is always my favorite compute benchmark because the open-source 3D rendering software is very popular and it isn’t a synthetic benchmark. With the latest version of Blender, they redid the benchmark so we now have a new test that runs three different renderings and gives each a score. I have all three stacked together so we can see the overall performance. The TUF Gaming RTX 4070 Ti SUPER improved on the original RTX 4070 Ti but still has a big gap between it and the RTX 4080. AMD isn’t really in the picture here with the 7900 XT running behind the 3060 Ti and even the 7900 XTX is behind the RTX 3070.

For CUDA-based cards, I also check out OctaneRender performance using their OctaneBench 2060.1 benchmark which allows me to check out both RTX and non-RTX rendering performance. Here the TUF Gaming RTX 4070 Ti SUPER beat the original TUF 4070 Ti by 21% on the RTX score and 15% on the non-RTX test. This put it up close to the RTX 4080 but there is still a gap there.

For an additional CUDA-based test I also ran V-Ray Benchmark 5 to check out CUDA and RTX performance in the 3D rendering and simulation software. The TUF Gaming RTX 4070 Ti SUPER improved on the original TUF 4070 Ti by 17% in its RTX on result putting a big gap between the 4070 Ti SUPER and the card it replaces.
