This review and benchmark of the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti looks at NVIDIA’s newest GPU vs. the RTX 4080 16GB, talks about why it would have been beyond disingenuous (and just straight-up lying) to call it an RTX 4080 “12GB” originally, and how NVIDIA is stuck in a hard place. The 4070 Ti is, and never will be, “3x better” than the RTX 3090 Ti — despite NVIDIA’s misleading marketing to the contrary. It is hardly better than a 3080 — and sometimes not even that — and its positioning forces NVIDIA to choose between two bad options: One, they could call it a “4080” and implicitly state that there’s been no generational improvement between 80-class cards for 2 years while increasing the price by $200, or two, they could call it a “4070 Ti” and tell customers that the 70-class silicon is now 60% more expensive than 2 years ago. Neither option is good, and it was too late to fully cancel the product by the time they realized their mistakes.

Benchmarks include ray tracing, rasterization, thermals, power, power transients, and more. We test the ASUS RTX 4070 Ti TUF vs. the RTX 4080 16GB, RTX 4090, RTX 3080, AMD RX 7900 XTX and XT, and more.
