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

‏ in the current release of the RTX 40 series GPU, the author most recommended is RTX 4070Ti. It can achieve performance comparable to that of RTX 3090 for just over 6000 yuan, and the power consumption requirement is very low, so there is no need to replace the power supply when upgrading the graphics card. Among the new RTX 4070Ti cards, Suotai's X-GAMING series belongs to the one with high performance-to-price ratio. ‏

At a time when the ‏ RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC is selling well, Suotai is also striking while the iron is hot and launched a new color match for this graphics card: Opal White. The whole card has a more integrated look and feel, which is very suitable for side penetration chassis. At the same time, it also continues the original compact design, and the chassis compatibility is very good. In this test, CTOnews.com uses a set of top-level configuration to see how it performs. The specific configuration is as follows: ‏

‏ ‏

‏ design ‏‏ Sotai RTX 4070Ti X-GAMING OC Opal White size and the previous evaluation of the X-GAMING is the same, still occupy two and a half slots of space, BWH size is only 30.3X12.1X6.1CM, has a very good chassis compatibility, some compatible ITX chassis can also be stuffed in. ‏

‏ RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC Opal White uses a three-fan design, the previous black fan has also been whitened, and now the white look and feel is very strong. ‏

The backplane of the ‏ RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC Opal white graphics card is still designed in graffiti style, but the color has changed from an eye-catching blue-yellow to a more coordinated white-gray. The right backplane still uses a hollowed-out design to facilitate the cooling air to blow through the fins and enhance the heat dissipation performance. ‏

The outermost ring of the back of the ‏ card is a white edge, and the ZOTAC in the middle supports RGB lighting. The default light has also changed from yellow to white. Of course, if necessary, you can also customize the light control through the 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 Opal White is very low, and the power compatibility is also very good, the double 8Pin output of conventional power supply can be driven, and one more 8Pin interface can be inserted to alleviate the pressure on 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. ‏

‏ packaging accessories only have a 3 8Pin to 16Pin transfer cable, the color is black is a pity, it is recommended that we choose to support the latest ATX3.0 standard of white full module power supply. ‏

‏ ‏

‏ Core ‏‏ parsing ‏‏ ‏

The core of ‏ RTX 4070Ti is built on the basis of ‏‏ 's AD10 ‏‏ 4 ‏‏ core, which is currently positioned by ‏‏ as the third highest ‏‏. There are five groups of blood-filled GPC in ‏‏. The ‏‏ department in ‏‏ has a total of ‏‏ 7680 ‏‏ CUDA cores, ‏‏ 240 ‏‏ Tensor cores, ‏‏ 60 third-generation RT cores and 80 ROP unit ‏‏. ‏‏ 's core scale is small. ‏

The default frequency of ‏ RTX 4070Ti is 2610MHz, while the core frequency of Sotai RTX 4070Ti X-GAMING OC Opal ‏‏ 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. ‏

‏ RTX 4070Ti ‏‏ 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 around ‏‏ 71 ‏‏℃ and the power consumption is about ‏‏ 287 ‏‏ W. the power consumption of ‏‏ is really very low, and the fan only works at 63% at this time, so the noise control is very good, and the game is very quiet. ‏

‏ 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 X-GAMING OC Opal White ‏‏ is 99.5%, and the performance release is excellent. ‏

‏ in the 3DMark TimeSpy DX12 test, the graphics card score ‏‏ is much higher than our first test of RTX 4070Ti. ‏‏ achieved ‏‏ 's astonishing 23176 ‏‏ score, compared with 21 ‏‏ 439 ‏‏ for RTX 3090Ti. ‏‏ can see that the DX12 score of Sotai RTX 4070Ti X-GAMING OC Opal White has completely exceeded that of RTX 3090Ti after several driver updates. ‏

‏ 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 X-GAMING OC Opal White ‏‏ graphics card score reached ‏‏ 26780 ‏‏ score, as a comparison, GeForce RTX 3090Ti for ‏‏ 26111 ‏‏ score ‏‏, RTX 4070Ti also rely on driver updates, performance can be further released, thus exceeding RTX 3090Ti. ‏

‏ and ‏‏ in the 3DMark Portal Royal light pursuit test, ‏‏ Sotai RTX 4070Ti X-GAMING OC Opal White ‏‏ got a ‏‏ score of 14110 ‏‏. ‏‏ may be due to the difference in light pursuit performance caused by the disadvantage of video memory size and bit width, resulting in a running score slightly lower than that of RTX 3090Ti. However, reflected in the actual game, the gap will not be too big. ‏

‏ ‏

‏ Game Measurement ‏‏ ‏

‏ next, we will conduct a game test. We will test all games with the highest 2K resolution. If we have DLSS, we will enable the balance file DLSS, and if we have DLSS3, we will test the number of frames before and after opening and closing. First of all, e-sports game, we selected "CS:GO" and "PUBG" two mainstream FPS games for testing. First of all, the self-contained BenchMark is run in CSGO, and the average frame reaches 543 frames, which can meet the needs of e-sports display for high-frame play. ‏

‏ "PUBG" can run to about 269frames at the highest picture quality of 2K, which is perfect for 2K240Hz display. ‏

‏ next we test two classic 3A masterpieces, which can run to an average of 220frames at the highest 2K resolution in Tomb Raider: shadow, and can play smoothly with high picture quality and high frame rate. ‏

‏ and in "Wild Dart 2: redemption", after opening the balance file DLSS, it can also run at an average of 153frames at the highest picture quality of 2K, so it is not a problem to play smoothly. ‏

The above frames of ‏ are implemented on the basis of DLSS2, 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 highest quality super light of ‏‏ 2 ‏‏ K. you can see that 60 frames cannot be stabilized by default. If you turn on the DLSS2 of the balanced gear, you can play at an average of 95 frames. If the DLSS3 option is fully turned on, you can increase the number of frames by up to 3 times. Compared with the DLSS 2 in the same gear, the number of frames has increased by more than 50 frames, which is quite significant. ‏

‏ 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. ‏

The performance of ‏ Wizards 3: the next Generation version is similar to that of Cyberpunk 2077. By default, you can't play smoothly at 60 frames, but when you turn on the DLSS2 balance, you can play at an average of 85 frames. If you want to play fluently in 4K or 2K high frames, you can play more than 133frames in DLSS3+DLSS2 balance, and the game experience is excellent. ‏

At the end of ‏, we tested another next-generation 3A masterpiece, the Legend of the Plague: the Requiem, which is much better, and its debut is supported by DLSS3 technology. ‏

When ‏ does not turn on DLSS, the frame number of RTX 4070 Ti can also reach an average of 80 frames, but after turning on DLSS 3 performance, the frame number has almost doubled to an average of 165frames, which meets the needs of mainstream 2K165Hz displays. ‏

‏ believes that you may have heard that ‏‏ DLSS3 ‏‏ can lead to increased latency, not playing games and so on. Indeed, the essence of DLSS3 ‏‏ is that AI generates new frames, and it takes time to generate frame ‏‏. The improvement of ‏‏ latency has a great impact on competitive games, ‏‏, but the current games that support DLSS3 are RPG games that do not eat input delay. And when ‏‏ turns on the frame generation function of DLSS 3, NVIDIA Reflex will force it on to minimize the rendering delay caused by the generated frame. ‏‏ We take the Legend of the Plague: Requiem as an example, the delay has only increased by a few milliseconds after opening DLSS 3, which has no effect on the game experience. ‏

‏ ‏

‏ ‏

‏ Creative production of ‏‏ ‏

‏ benefits from 12G large graphics memory and powerful CUDA core, RTX 4070Ti this high-end graphics card can not only be used for games, for creative production is also one of the main uses. Sotai RTX 4070Ti X-GAMING OC Opal has 7680 powerful CUDA cores and will make some achievements in dealing with creative production and deep learning. At the same time, RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC Opal ‏‏ can also install ‏‏ NVIDIA Studio ‏‏ drivers in ‏‏. ‏‏ has more than 75 creative applications ‏‏ ‏‏ can call the ‏‏ AI computing power of ‏‏ NVIDIA CUDA core to greatly improve work efficiency. ‏

‏ in modeling and rendering software, ‏‏ 7680 ‏‏ CUDA ‏‏ core can provide hardware acceleration for work by ‏‏. 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 ‏ 's ‏‏ V-Ray Benchmark ‏‏, Sotai RTX 4070Ti X-GAMING OC Opal scored 2288 points, which can successfully cope with most modeling rendering requirements. ‏

‏ is also used for raytraced modeling and rendering of ‏‏, and the score of ‏‏ such as RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC Opal ‏‏ in V-Ray GPU RTX has also been increased to ‏‏ 3121 ‏‏ ‏‏. ‏

‏ we also tested the mainstream modeling software Blender, RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC Opal White can also have a good performance, the specific scores are as follows, this result is used to do some complex modeling is not to mention. ‏

‏ in the Adobe Premiere commonly used by creative workers, we turn on GPU Cuda acceleration and then test it with PugetBenchmark. The final score is 1151, which can easily deal with complex video clips of 4K or even 8K. ‏

We also use PugetBenchmark to test ‏ 's other more stressful video effects software, Adobe Effects. The final score is 1489, which shows that the creative production performance of RTX 4070Ti is very excellent. ‏

‏ ‏

‏ ‏

‏ Summary ‏‏ ‏

‏ in the initial RTX 4070Ti evaluation, the author's favorite is Suotai RTX 4070Ti-12GB X-GAMING OC, because it is small enough, the performance release is not poor, the most important thing is that its price is relatively low in the big factory graphics card, the performance-to-price ratio is particularly excellent. The only regret at that time was that the blue design was more eye-catching and did not accord with the author's black-and-white aesthetic. ‏

‏ and Sotai RTX 4070Ti X-GAMING OC Opal White has greatly improved its appearance, while its performance and heat dissipation is still not good. If you are looking for a RTX 4070Ti with performance, personality and compatibility, it will be a very cost-effective choice. ‏
