For those who have recently installed the machine, I believe many of them are waiting for the release of GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, especially those who are waiting to see the gaming performance of the previously released RTX 4070 Ti at 4K resolution. GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has replaced the AD103 core and upgraded to 16GB of large video memory. The gaming performance is exciting. So today, this site will use this first batch of non-public version of GALAXY GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Xingyao OC graphics card to show you whether its performance is "SUPER" enough.

In order to maximize the performance potential of the graphics card, we continued to fill up the configuration for this test to ensure that other hardware can fully help the graphics card release its due performance. The specific configuration is shown in the figure below.

Appearance design

The GALAXY Xingyao series graphics cards are old friends to this site and all readers. Its most notable feature is It is painted in white, with a crystal transparent shell and a RGB fully translucent fan design.

The GALAXY GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Xingyao OC graphics card we got this time is still relatively large, and the length without the bezel is reached 340mm, you must consider the compatibility of your chassis with it when purchasing. The thickness has also reached 60mm, and the width of the three slots cannot be exceeded.

Although it is large, the design of this card is not bulky at all. The new generation Xingzhuo III cooling system is equipped with three 102mm large fans, each Each fan has 11 frost-free fan blades, which not only have larger air volume and stronger wind pressure, but also support intelligent start and stop. The fan blades are specially made with a translucent frosted treatment. When the graphics card is turned on, the entire fan area will reveal colorful RGB lighting effects, which is very cool.

The classic diamond-cut crystal shell of the Xingyao series has also been inherited, making the entire card more crystal clear, fashionable and more personalized. The official emphasized that the outermost transparent top cover is removable and allows users to DIY freely without affecting the warranty, which is more conscientious.

GALAXY GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Xingyao OC has also been reinforced on the back panel. The pure white coating is combined with the starlight pattern design of the silk screen process to implement the trendy style. , the exposed screw openings on the surface are also arranged very regularly.

The right side of the back panel is an air outlet with a huge hollow design. The middle area is printed with a black BOOMSTAR English logo. There are also two sets of hollow small stars on the left side. The exposed heat dissipation module can be directly blown through by the wind to enhance heat dissipation performance.

The Ge‏‏F‏‏orce RTX logo is printed on the upper right side of the graphics card. The ARGB lighting area in the middle is treated with a silver mirror surface. When lit, it will The LOGO of the Xingyao series will light up together with the fan. This light is also practical. When there is insufficient power supply or installation problems, it will flash a yellow or red light to warn, which is called a "negative energy" detection system.

In terms of power supply, it uses the latest ATX3.0 standard 16Pin power supply interface. A 3*8Pin to 16Pin adapter is included in the package. The official recommendation is to match it with 750W The above power supply is used.

In addition to the adapter cable, the package also comes with a graphics card bracket. This graphics card bracket also supports ARGB lighting and can synchronize lighting with the graphics card.

In terms of output interface, it is equipped with 3*DP1.4 interface and 1*HDMI2.1 interface, supporting up to 8K60 frame output.

Game actual test

Since we are talking about games, we have to mention that the NVIDIA platform currently has more than 500 games and applications that support RTX technology, and as DLSS 3 technology becomes more mature and popular, it supports The number of DLSS 3 games is also constantly increasing.

For example, 14 new games supporting DLSS 3 technology have been added this year, including "Dragon's Dogma 2", "Horizon West", "Yakuza 8", "Halfjou" Well-known games such as "Destiny 2 RTX". In addition, the released "Alan Killer 2", "Cyberpunk 2077: Shadows of the Past", "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3", etc. also support DLSS 3 or DLSS 3.5 technology at the first time. At the same time, the current mainstream popular online competitive games all support NVIDIA Reflex technology. Whether it is for low-end players or e-sports players, these two technologies can greatly improve the gaming experience.

In the next game test session, we will test 6 games for you, including 2 online competitive games, 2 traditional raster games and 2 games that support DLSS 3 /3.5 ray-tracing games and competitive games are tested at 2K resolution, while other games will be tested at 2K/4K resolutions to verify its 2K high-brush game and 4K ray-chasing game performance.

First of all, there are two online competitive games. In "CS2", we use the default high image quality option, conduct a game at 2K resolution, and pass Frame View records the average frame number, and the average frame number of GALAXY GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Star Yao OC came to 369 frames.

In addition, by turning on the NVIDIA Reflex option in the game settings to enable enhancement, the measured average latency at 2K resolution is only 6.3ms, which is an ultra-low latency that can satisfy Players’ rigorous pursuit of precise operations.

For the second online competitive game, we chose the popular "Rainbow Six: Siege", GALAXY GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Xingyao OC at 2K resolution , the average number of frames at the highest quality reached 429 frames, which is not a problem for this mainstream 2K high-brush monitor.

"Rainbow Six: Siege" also supports NVIDIA Reflex technology. When the game is running, select the option with Vukan to find the Reflex on enhanced option in the game. , after opening and grabbing through Frame, the average delay at 2K resolution is only 8.4ms, and the delay performance is quite good.

Then there are 2 traditional raster games. In the classic action adventure game "Shadow of the Tomb Raider", choose the highest quality, average frames at 2K resolution The number can reach an average of 220 frames, and the RTX 4070 Ti is 200 frames, an increase of 10%.

At 4K resolution, at the highest image quality and with the ray tracing DLSS quality file turned on, the average number of frames of the GALAXY GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Star OC is 120 frames. RTX 4070 is 103 frames, an increase of about 16.5%.

We also tested Ubisoft’s latest game “Assassin’s Creed: Visions”. As a representative of “all beings are equal”, can the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER conquer it this time? Woolen cloth? After entering the game, we selected the highest image quality of 2K resolution and ran the performance benchmark test that comes with the game. The average frame number of the GALAXY GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Star Yao OC came to 136 frames, and the average frame number of the RTX 4070 Ti was 117 frames, an improvement. about 16.2%.

Coming to 4K resolution, the average frame number of GALAXY GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Star Yao OC is 86 frames, and the average frame number of RTX 4070 Ti is 71 frames, an increase of about 21.1%. It seems that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER can also smoothly sneak and assassinate at 4K resolution.

Finally, there are two light chasing games that support DLSS 3/3.5. One of them is the very well optimized "Forza Horizon 5". Choose it in the game After setting the extremely high image quality preset and turning on the DLSS 3 option, the NVIDIA Reflex option will also be turned on by default. As usual, we select Reflex ON BOOST and run the performance benchmark test that comes with the game.

Under the extreme image quality of 2K resolution, we turn on the DLSS 2 quality file and DLSS 3 frame generation options. At this time, the average of GALAXY GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Star OC The number of frames came to 195 frames, and the average delay was only 14.5ms. The RTX 4070 Ti averaged 176 frames, an increase of about 10.7%.

Even when pulled to 4K resolution, the average number of frames is 131 frames, and the average latency of the game increases to 16.8ms. The average frame rate of the RTX 4070 Ti is 118 frames, an increase of about 11%. For a racing game with competitive attributes, the 4K resolution image quality can reach around 120 frames at full capacity, which is a pleasure to play.

The last one is the next-generation 3A masterpiece "Cyberpunk: 2077" from the DLSS technology testing ground. We directly choose the highest ultra-fast ray tracing quality and turn on the DLSS 2 quality file. DLSS 3.5, first ran the built-in benchmark performance test at 2K resolution, and the final average frame rate reached 94 frames. The average frame rate of RTX 4070 Ti was 81 frames, an increase of about 16%.

However, at 4K resolution, keeping other settings unchanged, the average number of frames was only 50 frames, so we adjusted the DLSS 2 option to the balanced file. At this time, GALAXY GeForce The average frame rate of RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Star Yao OC is 58 frames, which can basically meet the gaming experience of 4K/60 frames. If you further adjust DLSS 2 to the performance level, you can increase the average frame rate to 70 frames. Or you can only turn on DLSS3.0, which can also stabilize 4K / 60 frames.

Turn off light reconstruction

Turn on light reconstruction

So does DLSS 3.5 have any impact on game image quality, especially ray tracing performance? Look at these two pictures. The reflection of the slippery road after rain in the same scene in the game gives us the answer. After turning on light reconstruction, the clarity of the reflection is significantly improved, and the artifacts that were common in the previous pictures are also much reduced. It is obvious that DLSS 3.5 can be said to be the lubricant for high-level ray tracing. While retaining the highest picture effects, it can also achieve the best frame rate performance.

In addition to game performance, power consumption performance is also of great concern to players, so we calculated the performance of GALAXY GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Xingyao OC at 2K resolution The average power consumption of games, as shown in the figure above, the overall power consumption performance of this card is quite excellent. The average power consumption of 4 of the games is controlled within 220W, which is equivalent to the RTX 4070 running at full power consumption. It has just been released. "Assassin's Creed: Visions" and "Cyberpunk: 2077" are more demanding, but they also leave a certain amount of power consumption redundancy for the graphics card.

Creative Production

We mentioned earlier that the video memory scale GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER provides up to 16GB of large video memory, the video memory bit width has been increased to 256 bits, and the L2 cache has also reached 48MB, which provides GEFORCE RTX 4070 Ti SUPER provides a strong guarantee for creative production and AI performance. Users can also install NVIDIA Studio drivers to accelerate more than 110 of the most popular creative applications, such as Optix, DLSS and Maxine, as well as the full suite of NVIDIA Studio creative applications, including NVIDIA Omniverse, Broadcast, Canvas and RTX Remix.

In modeling and rendering software, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 8448 CUDA cores can provide hardware acceleration, improving work efficiency. Almost all modeling software is optimized for NVIDIA GPUs, so it can take into account efficiency, stability, and compatibility. For example, in the commonly used rendering tool V-Ray, you can use the RTX accelerated ray tracing function to achieve high-performance final frame rendering. In addition, a GPU equipped with AI noise reduction can further accelerate interactive rendering and provide a smoother work experience.

Having said all that, let’s take a look at the actual measured performance of GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. In terms of modeling software, we tested the performance of V-Ray Benchmark. The GPU CUDA test project score is 2746 points.

In the GPU RTX test project, the final score of GALAXY GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Star Yao OC was 3790 points.

In the Benchmark test of another modeling software blender, the three-scenario scores of GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER are as shown in the figure, and the three-scene scores are 3792 and 1787 , 1884, also have certain improvements.

Then let’s take a look at its performance in video rendering and encoding and decoding. GEFORCE RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is equipped with 2 NVENC encoders and supports the new generation of AV1 video. Encoding technology can provide faster video encoding and higher quality streaming media transmission performance under the same video size. Domestic Cutting Professional Edition has implemented acceleration support for the NVIDIA AV1 video encoder. We also tested this. We imported a 2 minute and 30 second 4K video material into the Cutting Professional Edition, and then used H .264 encoding and AV1 encoding for export.

You can see that when exporting the same 4K / 60 frame specifications, the size of the video exported by AV1 encoding is 609MB, and the size of the video exported by H.264 encoding is 800MB. The size of the video encoded by AV1 is nearly 200MB smaller than the video encoded by H.264.

And in terms of picture quality, by intercepting the picture details of the two videos and observing them, there is basically no difference between the two encoding methods. They are small and high-definition, AV1 It is bound to become the new favorite among encoding formats.

There is also RTX video super-resolution technology, which can upgrade online 1080P video to 4K resolution at most through the AI ​​calculation of the GPU, achieving improved clarity through algorithms Effect. We only need to find the video in the NVIDIA control panel - adjust the video image settings, and then we can customize the adjustment. There are 4 super levels.

↑ From left to right are 480P, VSR1, VSR2, VSR3, VSR4

We play on this site B I took a video posted by the website account, adjusted the resolution to 480P, and then successively increased the super score level to conduct a screenshot test. It can be seen that the characters become clearer at levels 1-4.

Finally, we briefly tested the performance of this card in AIGC through Stable Diffusion. By selecting model v2-1_768-ema-pruned.ckpt, Drawing 21 images of cabins using Vincentian diagrams with an image resolution of 768*768, it finally took 54 seconds to complete. As a reference, the RTX 4070 took 2 minutes and 08 seconds to complete the drawing, which increased the speed by approximately 57.8%. After turning on the TensorRT Engines function, the speed is reduced by half again, and it can be completed in 27 seconds.
