Where to buy
$799MSRP
Launch MSRP in US dollars, as set by the manufacturer at release. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today. The Amazon store the link opens depends on your location and charges in its own currency (US dollars, euros or pounds): expect a different figure there, and treat that page as the authority on what the card actually costs.
This card is out of production, so street prices are especially unpredictable.

Niche recommendation
This card is out of production. New stock is scarce and priced unpredictably, so it only makes sense at a genuine discount against a current-generation equivalent.
1440p gaming at 100+ FPS
Why
- Estimated performance index of 51 at 1440p, where 100 is the fastest card CompareYourGPU tracks.
- Ray tracing costs it relatively little: an index of 49 against 51 in rasterisation.
- Supports DLSS 3 Frame Generation.
- At 1440p the RTX 4070 Ti is level with the RTX 5070 while costing $187 less, which gives it the better performance per dollar of the two. Based on launch MSRP.
Derived from this card's specifications, CompareYourGPU's estimated performance indices and launch MSRP. No verified current price is on record.
Watch out for
This card is out of production, so new stock is scarce and pricing is unpredictable. It is only worth considering at a genuine discount.
Consider instead
- RX 9070 XT if you want more memory headroom. It carries 16 GB against 12 GB, at $988.

Gaming benchmarks
Frame-rate figures transcribed from named third-party measurements, grouped so that two different test methodologies are never mixed in one table.
No measured frame-rate data is recorded for the RTX 4070 Ti yet, so the performance figures on this page are CompareYourGPU's labelled estimates. How benchmark data is handled.
In the meantime, the game pages set out what makes each title demanding and which resolutions this class of card suits. Heavy titles worth checking: Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, Hogwarts Legacy.

Technologies and features
What this card supports, and what each feature actually does for you.
Supported. This card uses 3rd-generation RT cores.
DLSS 4 Super Resolution, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, FSR 3.1, XeSS. Availability in any individual game depends on the developer implementing it.
DLSS 3 Frame Generation. Frame generation raises the displayed frame rate without improving responsiveness, so it works best on top of an already playable frame rate.
Hardware AV1 encode is supported. 8th-generation NVENC with AV1 and HEVC encode (dual encoder). 5th-generation NVDEC with AV1, HEVC and H.264 decode.
Strengths, weaknesses and who it suits
CompareYourGPU's assessment, grounded in the specifications above rather than in marketing material.
Strengths
- Strong 1440p performance with the full DLSS 3 feature set
- Dual NVENC encoders with AV1
- 285 W is reasonable for the performance
Weaknesses
- 12 GB on a 192-bit bus at a high-end price
- Superseded by the 4070 Ti SUPER at the same MSRP
- Out of production
Best for
- 1440p gaming at high refresh rates
- Streaming and video encoding
Not ideal for
- 4K at Ultra textures
- Buyers who can find the SUPER instead
Price, value and efficiency
What the card costs, what that price should be for the performance, and what it returns per dollar and per watt.
$799MSRP
Launch MSRP in US dollars, as set by the manufacturer at release. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today. The Amazon store the link opens depends on your location and charges in its own currency (US dollars, euros or pounds): expect a different figure there, and treat that page as the authority on what the card actually costs.
Good priceFair price for this performance: $1,240
Good buy below $1,141 · expensive above $1,389
The fair price is where this card’s performance index falls on the price-to-performance line fitted across every card CompareYourGPU tracks. It describes the current market, it is not a recommendation, and it moves when prices do. Calculated from launch MSRP across the database, because no verified street prices are on record.
Performance per dollar
6.4
Performance index points per $100 at 1440p, calculated from launch MSRP.
That places it in the upper half of the database on value.
Performance per watt
17.9
Performance index points per 100 W of board power at 1440p.
That places it in the lower half of the database on efficiency.
RTX 4070 Ti frequently asked questions
Is the RTX 4070 Ti good for 1080p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 135-195 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 165+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 12 GB gives real headroom at 1080p, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
Is the RTX 4070 Ti good for 1440p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 90-130 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 100+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 12 GB is enough for 1440p today, but it is below the 16 GB that removes texture settings from the conversation entirely.
Is the RTX 4070 Ti good for 4K gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 45-70 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That is below a sustained 60 FPS at this resolution without upscaling. 12 GB is enough for 4K today, but it is below the 16 GB that removes texture settings from the conversation entirely.
How much VRAM does the RTX 4070 Ti have?
The RTX 4070 Ti has 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, giving 504 GB/s of bandwidth. 12 GB is enough for 1440p today, but it is below the 16 GB that removes texture settings from the conversation entirely.
What power supply does the RTX 4070 Ti need?
NVIDIA recommends a 700 W power supply for a complete system built around the RTX 4070 Ti, which draws 285 W of board power. It uses 1x 16-pin (12VHPWR).
Which upscaling technologies does the RTX 4070 Ti support?
It supports DLSS 4 Super Resolution, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, FSR 3.1, XeSS. For frame generation it supports DLSS 3 Frame Generation. Support for any individual upscaler also depends on the game implementing it, so availability varies title by title.
Is the RTX 4070 Ti good for ray tracing?
Its ray tracing index is 49 at 1440p, against a rasterisation index of 51, so it retains about 96% of its standing once ray tracing is enabled. That is a strong result: it loses relatively little ground compared with the rest of the database. Both figures are CompareYourGPU estimates, not measurements.
How much does the RTX 4070 Ti cost?
It launched at $799 MSRP and is now out of production. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price on record for this card, so check a retailer for what it actually sells for today.
What competes with the RTX 4070 Ti?
Its closest competitor from another manufacturer is the RX 9070 at $814. On CompareYourGPU's estimated 1440p index the RTX 4070 Ti is about 7% behind, before ray tracing, memory capacity and upscaling support are taken into account.
