Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is definitely a graphics card with a story since its birth. It was named GeForce RTX 4080 12G at the beginning of its release, so it was renamed RTX 4070 Ti for sale. And its price of 6499 is also much lower than that of 7199 at its debut. As a first-line AIC manufacturer, Seven Rainbow naturally followed Nvidia's strategy and launched the RTX 4070 Ti model based on performance-to-price ratio. After the actual test, the author found that RTX 4070 Ti is still very powerful, how does it really perform? Today, we will take the positioning of the mainstream seven rainbow iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC as the carrier to test it.

In this test, we try to use a set of high-end AMD configurations as follows:

Design Seven Rainbow iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC is a standard 3-slot large graphics card with a BWH size of 334.5*149.7*60.2mm (including bezel), but the overall design is compact and is believed to have good chassis compatibility. In the past, the Ultra W series of Seven Rainbow has always been dominated by white and embellished with other colors. But this time the iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC changes the past style, the painting area increases greatly, the overall look and feel presents a kind of pop cartoon style, the fresh feeling arises spontaneously.

The iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC is designed with three fans, each consisting of nine white annular blades embellished with blue-and-white Logo. There is a metal edge around it, which highlights the tough style of the graphics card body.

The backplane of iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC graphics card is mainly white, embellished with pink Ultra Logo, which is quite eye-catching.

The right back plate has a hollowed-out design to facilitate the cooling air blowing through the fins to enhance the heat dissipation performance.

The outer ring of the graphics card is a layer of white edge, the top is printed with the GeForce RTX logo, the right side of the RGB lighting area has done silver mirror treatment, coupled with white cartoon style special effects, from the side through the chassis to see a different flavor.

Seen from the side, there is a dense heat dissipation grille under the outer frame.

In terms of power supply, it uses the 16Pin power supply interface of the latest ATX3.0 specification, and the adapter from 2*8Pin to 16Pin is included with the package, which means that the power consumption of iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC is very low, and the power compatibility is also very good, which can be driven by the double 8Pin output of conventional power supply.

The I / O interface bezel uses dark gray color matching, and the interface is equipped with 3*DP1.4 interface and 1*HDMI2.1 interface, which up to support 8K60 frame output. The bezel also provides a double BIOS switch button for the Seven Rainbow sign, which can be pressed to start the Turbo enhanced mode.

Core parsing the core of Seven Rainbow iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC is different from the AD103 of RTX 4080. It is based on the current positioning of the third highest AD104 core, which contains five groups of blood-filled GPC, with a total of 7680 CUDA cores, 240th Tensor cores, 60 third-generation RT cores and 80 ROP units. It is really not appropriate for this core scale to be attributed to RTX 4080. It is more appropriate to call it RTX 4070 Ti like this.

The default frequency of RTX 4070 Ti is 2610MHz, while the core frequency of Seven Rainbow iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC is 2745MHz, which is much higher than the default. On the other hand, the video memory is 12GB GDDR6X with 192-bit bit width. From the above positioning, we can see that the RTX 4070 Ti is a mid-and high-end graphics card for positioning 2K high frame rate games.

Of course, the architecture of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is also the latest NVIDIA Ada architecture, which is based on the TSMC 4N NVIDIA custom process, resulting in a leap in performance and power consumption of up to 2x. The throughput of streaming multiprocessors is twice as high as that of the previous generation. The effective ray tracing computing power of the third generation RT Cores is 2.8 times higher than that of the previous generation. The fourth generation of Tensor Cores adds a new FP8 engine with up to 1.32 petaflops of Tensor processing performance, which is five times higher than that of the previous generation. SER brings up to three times the performance improvement for RayTracing, and up to 25% improvement for overall game performance.

As for the concrete function, the new architecture brings a lot of new functions: due to the introduction of Ada optical flow accelerator, DLSS 3 can predict the motion changes between frames in the scene, realize AI frame insertion, and improve the frame rate while maintaining the image quality. At the same time, it supports the application of dual AV1 encoder, which can not only shorten the video export time, but also have better picture quality.

Theoretical performance next we carry on the theoretical performance test. First of all, a single baked doughnut, after 15 minutes, the core temperature is stable at 66.8 ℃ and the power consumption is about 285W. It has to be said that this power consumption is really very low, which can be driven by a power supply of more than 500W and more stable by a power supply of more than 600W. Most importantly, it only needs 2 8Pin outputs to work properly, which means that players with upgrade ideas do not need to change the power supply at all.

Next, there is a 3DMark pressure test, which can detect whether the performance of the graphics card has declined under continuous running minutes. Generally, more than 97% can be regarded as a qualified graphics card. The measured score of Seven Rainbow iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC is 99.6%, and the performance release is extremely stable.

In the 3DMark TimeSpy DX12 test, the graphics card score reached 21422, it can be said that the physical performance of the RTX 4070 Ti is about equal to that of the RTX 30 series flagship card.

In the 3DMark FireStrike DX11 test, because the traditional FireStrike can no longer meet the needs of high-end graphics cards, we only tested the more stressful FireStrike Extreme. The score of the Seven Rainbow iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC graphics card reached 26201 points, and the RTX 4070 Ti also showed the same strong performance as the most flagship RTX 30 series cards.

In the 3DMark Portal Royal light chase test, Seven Rainbow iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC scored 13669 points, enough to meet the needs of high-end light chase games.

Game measurement next, let's do a game test to see if iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC can be a good choice for 2K gamers. First of all, e-sports game, we selected "CS:GO" and "Watchman Vanguard": back to the two mainstream FPS games for testing. First of all, the self-contained BenchMark is run in CSGO, and the average frame reaches 197.9 frames, which can meet the needs of 4K high-frame play. The author feels that the main bottleneck is CPU.

"Watchman Vanguard": it has been measured that it can run to about 260frame at the highest picture quality of 4K, which is perfect for high-end e-sports display.

The author also tested the performance of iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC at 2K resolution in Wild Dart 2: redemption. Without turning on DLSS, iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC has been able to play more than 2K 120 frames, which is undoubtedly an excellent experience.

If we open the quality file of DLSS, the frame number will be further increased to an average of 141frames, basically running 2K 144Hz of the mainstream e-sports display. It's cool to think about playing 3A masterpieces with the number of frames in e-sports games.

All of these are appetizers, and the most attractive thing about RTX 4070 Ti is that it can further increase the number of frames through DLSS 3 technology. DLSS 3 is a performance multiplier driven by AI, powered by the new fourth generation Tensor Core and GeForce RTX 40 series GPU's new optical flow accelerator, the latest version of NVIDIA's acclaimed deep learning supersampling technology and groundbreaking optical multi-frame generation that will usher in a new era of NVIDIA RTX neural network rendering games and applications.

To put it simply, in the past, DLSS 2 improved the image quality and the number of frames by rendering a low-resolution image, and then AI zoomed in to high resolution. While the new DLSS 3 is compatible with DLSS 2, it also adds a frame generation function, which can insert a new frame calculated by AI between two real frames to double the number of frames. Combined with the super-resolution function of DLSS 2, AI can reconstruct up to 7/8 display pixels, and the game performance can be up to four times better than without DLSS!

Let's first take a look at the frame number of the most stressful "Cyberpunk 2077" at 2K resolution. By default, iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC runs 2077 of the highest 2K image quality, only an average of 46 frames, but if we turn on DLSS 3 quality, the frame number soars to an average of 122frames, meeting the need for 2K 120 + frames to play, and the game experience has been qualitatively improved.

Legendary 3A masterpiece "Wizard 3" has also recently updated the next-generation version, which greatly improves the configuration requirements, but also provides support for DLSS 3 technology, which is undoubtedly good news for RTX 40 series graphics cards.

When DLSS is not enabled at 2K resolution, the average iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC has only more than 40 frames, but only need to open the quality file DLSS 3, the number of frames can soar to an average of 107. if you want to further impact the high number of frames, you can turn DLSS 3 into balanced gear to meet the 2K 120 frames + gaming experience.

In another next-generation 3A masterpiece with exploding picture quality, the Legend of the Plague: the Requiem, we got a similar result, that is, it is difficult to play smoothly in 4K by default, and the number of frames is doubled after DLSS 3 is blessed.

We tested the performance of iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC at 2K resolution "Plague Legend: Requiem". In the case of not opening DLSS, it has reached an average of 77 frames, satisfying smooth play. If we drive to DLSS 3 quality, the number of frames will soar to an average of 171frames, and monitors running over 2K 165Hz will be fine.

So is DLSS 3 technology perfect? Of course not. The essence of DLSS 3 is that AI generates new frames, and one of the side effects of generating frames must be increased latency. After all, our mouse is the feedback on the frame we see, while AI adds additional frames, which has a great impact on competitive games. So when you turn on the frame generation feature of DLSS 3, NVIDIA Reflex will force it on to minimize the rendering delay caused by the generated frame. Let's take Wizards 3: the next Generation Edition as an example, the delay after opening DLSS 3 is lower than opening nothing at all.

At the press conference, Nvidia highlighted the excellent energy efficiency of the RTX 4070 Ti series, so we also used Nvidia's official FrameView tool to count the average power consumption in each 3A masterpiece. It can be seen that the actual power consumption of RTX 4070 Ti in most 3A masterpieces is about 250W. RTX 4070 Ti achieves similar grating performance with only half the power consumption of RTX 3090 Ti, which is amazing.

Creative production although the positioning of RTX 4070 Ti is more inclined to gamers, it is also endowed with certain productivity attributes, and the powerful CUDA core will make certain achievements in dealing with creative production and deep learning. At the same time, iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC can also install NVIDIA Studio drivers, and more than 75 creative applications can call the AI computing power of the NVIDIA CUDA core to greatly improve work efficiency.

In the modeling and rendering software, 7680 CUDA cores can provide hardware acceleration for the work. At present, almost all modeling software will optimize the GPU of NVIDIA, so it can achieve the coexistence of efficiency, stability and compatibility. For example, in the commonly used rendering tool V-Ray, you can use RTX accelerated ray tracing to achieve high-performance final frame rendering. With the noise reduction feature of AI, GPU can further speed up interactive rendering.

In V-Ray Benchmark, iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC scored 2297, making it easy to cope with most modeling rendering needs.

Thanks to the improvement of light pursuit performance, the score of iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC in V-Ray GPU RTX has also increased to 3069. It has to be said that the improvement of light pursuit performance of RTX 4070 Ti is not obvious.

In the mainstream modeling software Blender, iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC can also have a good performance, the specific scores are as follows. It doesn't matter if this result is used to do most complex modeling.

In the later part of the video, the iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC is also equipped with the eighth generation NVIDIA NVENC encoder, which supports AV1 coding and dual encoders. AV1 is the next generation video coding technology, which can provide faster video coding and higher quality streaming media transmission performance while occupying the same space.

NVIDIA works closely with a number of industry partners, and today's mainstream multimedia applications can support AV1. At present, the domestic professional version of editing and projection has supported the acceleration of NVIDIA's AV1 video encoder. The commonly used video color editing software DaVinci also provides support for AV1 coding. As a free and open source coding, AV1 will certainly be the mainstream coding in the future.

In order to test its video rendering performance, CTOnews.com also tested PugetBench For Davinci and Adobe buckets for everyone. The final score of the measured iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC in Davinci can reach 2277, so it is easy to deal with the color adjustment of 4K clips smoothly.

In Adobe Premiere, which is commonly used by creative workers, we turn on GPU Cuda acceleration and then test it with PugetBenchmark. The final score is 1108.

We also use PugetBenchmark for testing in Adobe Effects, another more stressful video special effects software. The final score is 1372, which shows that the creative production performance is very excellent.

In summary, from our actual test today, we can still see that there are multiple differences between RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 3090 Ti due to video memory. Although their theoretical performance is basically the same as RTX 3090 Ti, the actual game performance is significantly better than RTX 3090 Ti. There is no doubt that it is a high-end graphics card. What is even more surprising is that in the actual game, the power consumption of the RTX 4070 Ti is only half that of the RTX 3090 Ti, which not only means more energy saving, but also means much lower power costs for players. On this basis, RTX 4070 Ti also provides support for DLSS 3 technology, which can greatly double the number of frames. It can be said that RTX 4070 Ti is a sharp weapon that can meet the requirements of 3A masterpiece 2K120 + high frame play.

And today's protagonist Seven Rainbow iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC also shows excellent quality, its design takes into account both simplicity and cool personality, while full performance release, it is an ideal choice for mainstream RTX 4070 Ti. At present, Seven Rainbow iGame GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Ulrta W OC will be officially put on sale on JD.com, Tmall, Douyin, WeChat Mall and other e-commerce platforms and offline authorized distribution retail channels at 10:00 in the evening of January 5.
