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

‏ with the gradual release of new cards of the RTX 40 series, the product line has gradually extended to the middle and high end, of which RTX 4070Ti is the first new card with a price of more than 6000. To this price, it means that the total budget for installation can be controlled to within 10000, which is also a price that many players can afford. ‏

‏ and our protagonist Sotai RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC is a mid-to-high-end game graphics card with excellent performance-to-price ratio. In this test, we will use a set of high-end configuration to see how its performance is. The specific configuration is as follows: ‏

‏ ‏

‏ design ‏‏ ‏

The ‏ Sotai RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC is a compact graphics card that takes up two and a half slots of space. The BWH size is only 30.3X12.1X6.1CM, which is small in all RTX 4070Ti and has good chassis compatibility. At a glance, the unique color style is also quite attractive, blue-and-white hip-hop style painting, brought a vibrant look and feel, at a glance there is a kind of summer feeling. ‏

The ‏ RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC is designed with three fans, each with 11 black blades, embellished with the Logo of the X-Gaming series. ‏

The backplane of the ‏ RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC graphics card gives full play to the graffiti style, and the whole backplane is like a graffiti wall, painted with a big X-GAMING, symbolizing the idea that the X-GAMING series shows the independence of young people with a new look. 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 outermost ring on the back of the ‏ card is a blue-and-white bezel with the logo of Ge ‏‏ F ‏‏ orce RTX printed on the top. The ZOTAC in the middle supports RGB light, which can be customized through software. ‏

Seen from the side of the ‏, under the outer frame is a dense heat pipe and heat dissipation grille. ‏

In terms of ‏ power supply, it uses the 16Pin power supply interface of the latest ATX3.0 specification, and the adapter from 3*8Pin to 16Pin is included in the package, but in fact, the power consumption of RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC is very low, and the power compatibility is also very good. The double 8Pin output of the conventional power supply can be driven, and one more 8Pin interface can be inserted to alleviate the pressure of the power supply line. ‏

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. ‏

‏ ‏

‏ Core ‏‏ parsing ‏‏ ‏

The core of ‏ Sotai RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC is built on the basis of ‏‏ 's AD10 ‏‏ 4 ‏‏ core, which is currently positioned by ‏‏ as the third highest ‏‏. There are 5 groups of blood-filled GPC in ‏‏. The ‏‏ department in ‏‏ has a total of ‏‏ 7680 ‏‏ CUDA cores, ‏‏ 240 ‏‏ cores, ‏‏ 60 third-generation RT cores and 80 ROP unit ‏‏. It is reasonable to rename ‏‏ to RTX 4070Ti. ‏

The default frequency of ‏ RTX 4070Ti is 2610MHz, while the core frequency of Sotai RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC ‏‏ is 2 ‏‏ 640 ‏‏ MHz, and the ‏‏ is slightly higher than the default. In the aspect of ‏‏ video memory, the ‏‏ is a 12-‏‏ GB GDDR6X ‏‏ with 192 ‏‏-bit ‏‏ bit width, and the video memory frequency is as high as 21000MHz. 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. ‏

Sotai RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC ‏ also builds ‏‏ based on the latest NVIDIA Ada architecture, and its ‏‏ is upgraded to ‏‏ TSMC 4N NVIDIA custom process, resulting in a leap in performance and power consumption of up to 2x. The ‏‏ throughput of streaming multiprocessor ‏‏ 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. ‏

‏ reflects the function of representation, and 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 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 will carry on the theoretical performance test. First of all, ‏‏ is a single-baked doughnut. After 15 minutes, the core temperature is stable at ‏‏ 62 ‏‏℃ and the power consumption is about ‏‏ 285 ‏‏ W. ‏‏ has to say that this power consumption is really very low. It seems that the energy efficiency of this generation of RTX 4070Ti is indeed quite high. And at this time, the fan is only 51% working, so the noise control is also very good. ‏

‏ then carries out the 3DMark stress test, which can detect whether the performance of the graphics card has declined under continuous running minutes. Generally, more than 97% of the graphics card is considered qualified. The measured score of ‏‏ Sotai RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC ‏‏ is 99.7%, and the performance release is excellent. ‏

‏ scored ‏‏ 21750 ‏‏ in the 3DMark TimeSpy DX12 test, compared with 26552 for ‏‏ RTX 4080, 17306 for ‏‏ GeForce ‏‏ RTX 3080 10G, 18981 for ‏‏ RTX 3090, and 21 ‏‏ 439 ‏‏ for RTX 3090Ti. ‏‏ can see that the DX12 score of Sotai RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC is even slightly higher than that of RTX 3090Ti, and it can be said that the physical performance of RTX 4070Ti is about the same as the flagship card of the RTX 30 series. ‏

‏ in the 3DMark FireStrike DX11 test, ‏‏ due to the traditional FireStrike has been unable to meet the needs of high-end graphics card, so we only tested the more stressful FireStrike Extreme, Sotai RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC ‏‏ graphics card score reached ‏‏ 26015 ‏‏ score, as a comparison, GeForce RTX 3090 ‏‏ ‏‏ Ti ‏‏ 26111 ‏‏ score ‏‏, RTX 4070Ti and RTX 30 series flagship card also showed basically the same performance. ‏

‏ and ‏‏ in 3DMark Portal Royal light pursuit test, ‏‏ Sotai RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC ‏‏ got ‏‏ 13861 ‏‏ score, ‏‏ does not have RTX 3090 ‏‏ ‏‏ Ti 14819 points strong, may be the disadvantage of video memory size and video memory bit width brought about by the light pursuit performance gap, but reflected in the actual game, the gap will not be too big. ‏

‏ CTOnews.com has made a comparison table of GPU physical scores. In most projects, Sotai RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC is very close to the previous flagship card, but consumes half as much power, which is suitable for players who want to upgrade their graphics cards but do not want to reinstall them. ‏

‏ ‏

‏ Game Measurement ‏‏ ‏

‏ next, we will conduct a game test. In the following projects, we will test games with low configuration requirements under the highest 4K resolution, and some high-pressure 3A masterpieces will be tested at 2K resolution. Let's see if it can satisfy 4K 60 + and 2K 120 +. 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 201 frames, which can meet the needs of 4K high-frame play. ‏

‏ "Watchman Vanguard": it has been measured that it can run to about 294 frames at the highest picture quality of 4K, which perfectly fits the high-end e-sports monitor. ‏

‏ next we test several classic 3A masterpieces. In Tomb Raider: shadow, even if you don't turn on DLSS, you can run to an average of 101frames at the highest resolution of 4K, achieving high frame rate and smooth play. ‏

After opening the performance file DLSS in ‏, the frame rate has soared to an average of 165frame, which can meet the demand of 4K 165Hz high-end display play 3A. ‏

‏, on the other hand, can also run at an average of 74 frames at the highest picture quality of 4K in "Wild Dart 2: redemption", making it easy to play smoothly. ‏

After ‏ opened the DLSS performance file, the number of frames was further increased to 105 frames, and the game experience was very smooth. ‏

The author of ‏ also tested RTX 4070Ti's performance at 2K resolution in Wild Dart 2: redemption. Without turning on DLSS, RTX 4070Ti has reached an average of 128frames, which is undoubtedly an excellent experience. ‏

‏ if we turn on the DLSS of the quality file, the number of frames will be further increased to an average of 147frames, the mainstream e-sports display that can run full 2K 144Hz. Both picture quality and fluency are achieved. ‏

‏ all these improvements are based on DLSS 2 technology, but the most attractive thing about RTX 40 series graphics cards is DLSS 3 technology. ‏‏ DLSS 3 is a performance multiplier ‏‏ technology ‏‏ driven by AI, powered by the new fourth generation Tensor Core and GeForce RTX 40 series GPU's new optical flow accelerator, is the latest version of NVIDIA's acclaimed deep learning supersampling technology, and features groundbreaking optical multi-frame generation, which will usher in a new era of NVIDIA RTX neural network rendering games and applications. ‏

‏ 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 zooming in to a 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, compared with no DLSS, the game performance can be improved by up to 4 times ‏‏ ‏‏! ‏

‏ Let's first take a look at the most stressful ‏‏ "Cyberpunk 2077" ‏‏. ‏‏ runs its own BenchMark ‏‏ under the 4K highest picture quality super light, you can see that it is completely unable to play smoothly by default, but when the DLSS 3 option is fully on, it can increase the number of frames by up to 3.5 times. Compared with the DLSS 2 in the same gear, the number of frames has increased by 24 frames, which is quite significant. In the actual game, the DLSS 3 quality file will be able to meet the 4K 60 frame play. ‏

If ‏ wants to play with a higher number of frames, it is more recommended to play downstream of 2K resolution. The author also tested the number of frames at 2K resolution. Without DLSS, it is difficult for RTX 4070Ti to run 2077 of the highest picture quality of 2K, with an average of 48 frames, but if we turn on DLSS 3 quality, the number of frames will soar to an average of 127frames, meeting the need for 2K 120 + frames to play freely, so that the video game screen can be fully utilized. ‏

‏ 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. ‏

‏ from the number of frames test, 4K can not open DLSS or even an average of less than 20 frames. After opening the DLSS 2 performance file, the number of frames increased 2.5 times in an instant. If you want to play fluently in 4K, you still need the help of DLSS 3 technology, which can satisfy more than 66 frames of smooth play in DLSS 3 balanced gear. Under DLSS 3 performance, the number of frames is the highest, reaching an average of 75 frames. ‏

‏ from the above, the game is more suitable for 2K resolution downstream, so the author also tested the performance of RTX 4070Ti at 2K resolution in Wizards 3: next Generation Edition. When DLSS is not enabled, the average RTX 4070Ti has only 45 frames, but the number of frames can soar to an average of 105frames only with DLSS 3 in quality file. If you want to further impact the high frame number, you can turn DLSS 3 into balanced gear to satisfy the 2K 120 frame + gaming experience. ‏

‏ got a similar result in another next-generation 3A masterpiece, the Legend of the Plague: Requiem, that is, it is difficult to play smoothly in 4K by default, double the number of frames after DLSS 3 is added, and run all over the video game screen with a high frame number at 2K resolution. ‏

In the case of ‏ without DLSS, the average frame number of RTX 4070 Ti is only 40 frames, but after turning on DLSS 3 performance, the frame number has almost increased by more than 2.5 times, reaching an average of 110frames, meeting the needs of 4K high-frame play of the next generation of 3A masterpieces. ‏

If you want to experience it with a higher frame count, we also tested the performance of ‏ RTX 4070 Ti at 2K resolution "Plague Legend: Requiem". In the case of not opening DLSS, it has reached an average of 775 frames, satisfying smooth play. If we drive to DLSS 3 quality, the number of frames will soar to an average of 170frames, and the display with a full 2K 165Hz is fine. ‏

‏, 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. ‏‏ We take a domestic horizontal version of the action game "reincarnation of life and death" as an example, the delay after opening DLSS 3 is reduced by half than nothing, which is also a big improvement for the game feel. ‏

‏ benefits from the improvement of light pursuit performance, and the score of ‏‏ RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC ‏‏ in V-Ray GPU RTX is also increased to ‏‏ 3180 ‏‏ ‏‏. ‏

We also tested the mainstream modeling software Blender, ‏ RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC can also have a good performance, the specific scores are as follows, this result can be used to do some complex modeling. ‏

‏ in the later part of the video, the ‏‏ RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING 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. ‏

In order to verify the video rendering performance of ‏, ‏‏ CTOnews.com ‏‏ also tested PugetBench For Davinci ‏‏ and Adobe family bucket ‏‏ for everyone.
