Synthetic Benchmarks
As always I like to start my testing with a few synthetic benchmarks. 3DMark especially is one of my favorites because it is very optimized in both Nvidia and AMD drivers. It's nice to not have to worry about it being favored too much either way and the repeatability of the results makes it a nice chance to compare from card to card, especially when comparing with the same GPU. In this case, we have taken a look at the stock-clocked Asus TUF 4070Ti and the MSI Suprim X which had a big overclock, the Gigabyte RTX 4070 Ti Gaming OC is overclocked but with a much smaller overclock so I’m curious to see how they all compare.
The first round of tests were done in the older Fire Strike benchmark which is a DX11 test. There are three detail levels, performance, extreme, and ultra. The RTX 4070 Ti Gaming OC ended up being at the bottom of the three 4070 Ti’s here, it is tested in a different driver however which may play a role. They do still ahead of the RTX 3090 Ti still except in the Ultra test.
The next two were both based on the Time Spy benchmark. One is the standard test and then there is the extreme detail level. This time around the RTX 4070 Ti Gaming OC is out in front of the two other 4070 Ti’s for the base Time Spy test by a small margin and then in the middle of the pack for the Time Spy Extreme test.
I did also test using the new 3DMark Speed Way which is their latest benchmark. Speed Way is DX12 as well but combines in more future focused tech like Ray Tracing which up until now 3DMark has only used in feature tests. The RTX 4070 Ti Gaming OC once again is in the idle of the pack of the RTX 4070 T’s sitting ahead of the Suprim X, the group as a whole is up in the chart with the 7900 XTX ahead and 7900 XT below them.
The last test was using the Unigine-based Superposition benchmark and I tested at 1080p with the extreme detail setting as well as the 4K optimized setting. In the extreme detail setting the RTX 4070 Ti Gaming OC is ahead of the TUF and behind the Suprim X here in both the 4K and 1080p Extreme tests. At 1080p they sit behind the 3090 Ti and ahead of the 6950 XT, the 69050 XT does better in the 4K test however jumping back ahead of them.
