GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, the unexpected graphics card to kick off 2023
The GPU that pushes 1440p gaming to 120+ FPS that also wows at 4K
We analyze the new TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070Ti, a Graphics card that has taken us by surprise at the beginning of 2023. This GPU also adopts DLSS 3.0 and in this review we also tested how it works with some available games. Here are our test results.The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti will be available on January 5 at a suggested price of $799.
NVIDIA Ada Lovelace
The heart of this piece of hardware has also been created under the 4 nanometer process like the other GPUS of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series and GDDR6X memory. We carried out these tests on a computer with the following specifications in order to maximize performance.
TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Specifications:
*Generational leap
Important to consider during installation
Unlike the GeForce RTX 4080 Y Geforce RTX 4090, which take up three slots in our case, this one only occupies two, but internally the size of the GPU obstructs the third slot, in other words, from the outside it will aesthetically emulate only using the space of a normal GPU, but inside your case it will take up the space of 3. Like the other graphics cards of this generation, it includes an adapter for the power supply and even a bracket to prevent all the weight of the hardware from deforming the motherboard. This is something that seems very simple, but the detail is appreciated. For this evaluation we used a 1,000 watt power supply: the Corsair WM1000x.
Parameters
Even though the GPU claims to be ideal for 1440p gaming at 1440+, we opted to push it to the limit with the same methodology we used with the GeForce RTX 4080, we ran all titles in 4K with all settings maxed mostly with DLSS in case the game had such technology. In the games that had DLSS 3, we used the “quality” mode, and in the case of titles having NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation, as well as the NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency.
All 48 titles were played for at least 30 minutes, sampling in the same parts as with the GeForce RTX 4080.

Noise and temperature
The component maintained an average of 60°C during the tests and the fans did not generate much noise.
Continuity
The TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti maintains the generational advance of the Tensor and RT Cores that it had already introduced with the first RTX 40 series, as well as the optical flow process and Shader Execution Reordering, two NVENC decoders with AV1 support that improves the bitrate of H.265/H.264 codecs. This, together with NVIDIA Studio, is a great deal for content creators and publishers.
Score: 9.6
Conclusion
The TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the big surprise of this start of 2023, making it a great option for those who want to game above 120 FPS in 1440p with the option to reach 60 FPS in 4K using DLSS.
