Should you buy it?

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.

Best for

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 $250 more, which makes it the weaker buy of the two on price alone. 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
  • RTX 5080 if ray tracing is your priority. Its ray tracing index is 72 against 49, at $999.
  • RX 9070 XT if you want more performance for the money. It returns 10.5 index points per $100 against 6.4.

Estimated

RTX 4070 Ti gaming performance

How the card is expected to hold up at each resolution, and how it sits against the cards closest to it.

1080p

57

- Upper mid-range

135-195 FPS

Estimated, typical modern AAA game at High settings, no upscaling.

165+ FPS class

12 GB gives real headroom at 1080p, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.

1440p

51

- Upper mid-range

90-130 FPS

Estimated, typical modern AAA game at High settings, no upscaling.

100+ FPS class

12 GB is enough for 1440p today, but it is below the 16 GB that removes texture settings from the conversation entirely.

4K

46

- Upper mid-range

45-70 FPS

Estimated, typical modern AAA game at High settings, no upscaling.

Below 60 FPS natively

12 GB is enough for 4K today, but it is below the 16 GB that removes texture settings from the conversation entirely.

CompareYourGPU estimate

Performance indices are aggregated from public review coverage, not measured by CompareYourGPU. Frame-rate ranges are modelled from those indices. How this is calculated.

How the RTX 4070 Ti compares at 1440p against the cards closest to it.

CompareYourGPU estimate. 100 = the fastest card tracked.

Ray tracing performance at 1440p, RTX 4070 Ti against the same peer group.

CompareYourGPU estimate. Ray-traced performance does not track rasterisation performance, which is why it is charted separately.

Measured

Gaming benchmarks

Frame-rate figures transcribed from named third-party measurements, grouped so that two different test methodologies are never mixed in one table.

The published rankings CompareYourGPU transcribes do not include the RTX 4070 Ti. The estimated performance index above is the alternative, and it is labelled as an estimate.

Per-game measured results

No verified benchmark data yet

CompareYourGPU only publishes frame-rate figures it can attribute to a named, linkable measurement, and none have been transcribed for the RTX 4070 Ti yet. The estimated performance indices above are clearly labelled as estimates and are the honest alternative until measured runs are recorded here.

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. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today.

Fair priceFair price for this performance: $796

Good buy below $732 · expensive above $892

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 lower 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.

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 does not publish a current street price because it does not yet carry a verified price feed, 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 $549. 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.
