About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q1 2024 with a MSRP of $799. It is built on the Ada Lovelace GPU microarchitecture (codename AD103) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has 16 GB of GDDR6X memory, with a 1,313 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 672.3 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER includes 8,448 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 2,340 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,610 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 264 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 96 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 264 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 66 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is a large graphics card, occupying 3 PCIe 4.0 x16 expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. With a thermal design power (TDP) of 285 W and a large, 3-slot size, it is recommended to use a power supply of 600 W and a case with sufficient space to accommodate the card. Compare your card's model and your case's dimensions to verify compatibility.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has the 7th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 71.54% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 74,834 score and $799 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 93.66. This is the 23rd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q1 2019 with a MSRP of $279. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU116) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 1660 Ti has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,500 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 288 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The GTX 1660 Ti includes 1,536 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,500 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,770 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 96 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GTX 1660 Ti occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 120 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The GTX 1660 Ti has the 103rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 21.89% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 22,891.5 score and $279 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 82.05. This is the 35th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
