ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Review: More Cores, Memory, Performance


ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super: GPU Compute, Rendering And Encoding Tests

We tested all of the graphics cards represented in this article on an ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X670E HERO motherboard, equipped with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU and 32GB of G.SKILL DDR5 RAM clocked at 6,000MHz. The first thing we did when configuring the test system was enter the UEFI and set all values to their "high performance" defaults, then we disabled any integrated peripherals that wouldn't be put to use and enabled Resizable BAR support. We dialed in memory clock to its optimal performance settings using its EXPO profile, then formatted the solid state drive and installed Windows 11 Professional before performing all updates. When the Windows installation was complete, we installed all of the drivers, applications and benchmark tools necessary to complete our tests.

LuxMark v4.0 Benchmarks

LuxMark is a cross-platform, OpenCL-accelerated 3D rendering benchmark. It's a tool based on the open source LuxRender physically-based spectral rendering engine, which accurately models the transportation of light and supports high dynamic range. LuxRender features a number of material types to allow rendering of photo-realistic and artistic scenes. LuxRender is free software licensed under the GPL that offers plugins for packages like Blender, Maya, Cinema 4D and 3DS Max.

In our first compute benchmark, the ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER takes second place, just behind the pricier GeForce RTX 4080 and well ahead of any of the Radeons we tested.

IndigoBench Rendering Benchmarks

IndigoBench is based on Indigo 4's advanced rendering engine and offers both CPU and GPU rendering modes for its two built-in models. The standalone benchmark is available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux and outputs results in M/Samples per second.

Once again the ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER puts up strong numbers with both models in this benchmark, besting all of the other cards we tested, save for the higher-end GeForce RTX 4080.

Blender v4 GPU Rendering Benchmarks

Blender is a free and open source 3D creation suite that can handle everything from modeling, rigging, and animation, through simulation, rendering, compositing, motion tracking, and even video editing or game creation. The developers offer a standalone benchmark tool that will track performance while rendering a handful of models. We used all three of the default models for these tests...

Blender is somewhat of a showcase application for NVIDIA's Ada Lovelace GPU architecture. Blender can make use of the RT cores on NVIDIA's GPUs, and as a result, performance is much higher than any competing GPU in a similar class. Once again, the ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER puts up some excellent numbers, and trails only the RTX 4080.

Blackmagic RAW Speed Test Results

The Blackmagic RAW Speed Test is a CPU and GPU benchmarking tool that tests the speed of decoding full-resolution Blackmagic RAW frames. The tool can be used to evaluate the performance at various resolutions and bitrates on the CPU or using OpenCL or CUDA on a GPU. We're reporting two results here, both at an 8K resolution, but at differing bitrates and compression levels.

Seeing a pattern yet? The ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER takes second place yet again, besting all of the Radeons we tested by wide margins, and falling behind only the GeForce RTX 4080.
