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

In 2018, Spider-Man: parallel Universe was born. And won the 91st Academy Award for best animated feature film, by the global media as "one of the greatest animated films in history", can be called the biggest dark horse of the year. In June 2023, the new series Spider-Man: across the Universe will be released, which will set off another movie craze.

The spirit of breakthrough and self-transcendence of Spider-Man series coincides with the brand concept of Suotai, which has been exploring and innovating in the field of DIY. Therefore, Sotai based on the RTX 4070 AMP series, officially released the "Spider-Man: horizontal Universe" joint graphics card: Sotai RTX 4070 AMP AIRO SPIDERMAN.

CTOnews.com also received Sotai RTX 4070 AMP AIRO SPIDERMAN in advance. In this test, we will use a set of high-configuration intel configuration to test to avoid video card bottlenecks as much as possible. The specific configuration is as follows:

Design ‏ Suotai's AMP series graphics cards break the angular design convention, the whole card appears quite round and integrated. This is a medium and large graphics card with three fans and 2.5 slots. The BWH is 307.7mm x 125.2mm x 58.5mm. It is heavy and solid, so the graphics card support frame is also included in the package. ‏

The ‏ Sotai RTX 4070 AMP AIRO SPIDERMAN graphics card is designed with three fans, and the scaly bionic stripes on the surface of the fan blade can improve the fan efficiency. The color seems to be pitch black and quite simple, but in fact, there are many kinds of center stickers in the package, which can DIY your own color matching scheme as long as you stick it in the middle of the fan. ‏

The backplane of the Sotai RTX 4070 AMP AIRO SPIDERMAN is also rounded, and alloy reinforcement is added to ensure that the PCB is subjected to uniform force. A large graphic Logo is printed on the left side of the backplane, using a gradient design. A quasi-wind aerodynamic depression texture is added to the middle area of the backplane, and there are three 1-group hollowed-out holes on the right.

The outermost ring on the back of the video card is a black-gray bezel with the Geforce RTX logo printed on it. The Sotai RTX 4070 AMP AIRO SPIDERMAN graphics card adds a streamlined side lamp belt on the other side of the frame.

Seen from the side, the ‏ Sotai RTX 4070 AMP AIRO SPIDERMAN graphics card ‏ has a strong sense of streamlined design. Below the outer frame is a dense heat dissipation grille with a heat dissipation module consisting of 9 heat pipes and an oversized VC soaking plate.

The I / O interface bezel adopts dark gray color matching, and the overall area is larger. The interface is equipped with 3*DP1.4 interface and 1*HDMI2.1 interface, and the highest 8K60 frame output is supported.

The graphics card adopts the 16Pin power supply interface of the brand-new ATX 3.0standard, and it is recommended to use the power supply that supports the ATX 3.0standard. If the traditional power supply is used, two 8Pin-to-16Pin power supply interfaces are included in the package.

In addition to the graphics card body, the package also comes with a large number of customized peripherals of Spider-Man IP. First of all, this magnetic backplane, as long as a suction to the graphics card backplane, you can instantly change the design style of the graphics card.

In addition, there are some stickers, as well as the DIY fan stickers we mentioned earlier.

The package also presents Spider-Man IP hand-made blind box, exquisite workmanship, can be used as furnishings, can also be placed on the back of the graphics card to add interest to the chassis DIY.

Finally, there is an exclusive canvas handbag in the graphics card package, which is also suitable for daily use.

In addition to the inside and outside of the graphics card package, there is also an exquisite gift box around the collection. This gift box does not follow the graphics card, but will be given out in a lucky draw on different social platforms in Suotai. You can pay more attention to this lucky draw.

When the gift box is unfolded, you can see 3D paper prints, which has a considerable visual impact.

There are custom canvas bags, watches and lanyards in this gift box.

The watch is in red and black as a whole and incorporates the elements of Spider-Man IP. The impression is cool and unobtrusive.

Such a rich perimeter is really rare for a joint graphics card, and you can see Suotai's intention for this joint name.

Core parsing RTX 4070 is similar to RTX 4070Ti, both are based on the AD104 core, but the core size has been reduced, so the core code name is AD104-250. The specific reduction is that GPC has changed from five groups to four groups, with a total of 5888 CUDA cores, 184 Tensor cores, 46 third-generation RT cores and 64 ROP units, which can basically be understood to retain 80 per cent of the core size of RTX 4070 Ti. However, it is a bit of a pity that the signboard NVENC unit has changed from two to one.

The public BOOST frequency of RTX 4070 is 2475MHz, while the default frequency of Sotai RTX 4070 AMP AIRO SPIDERMAN graphics card is as high as 2535MHz. The video memory is consistent with the RTX 4070 Ti. All are 12GB GDDR6X with 192-bit bit width, and the bandwidth is also 21Gbps. Suitable for 2K high frame rate games.

Sotai RTX 4070 AMP AIRO SPIDERMAN uses the latest NVIDIA Ada architecture and is built based on TSMC 4N custom process, resulting in a 2x increase in performance and power consumption. Its streaming multiprocessor throughput is more than twice that of the previous generation, and the ray-tracing computing power of the third-generation RT Cores has increased by 2.8 times. The fourth generation of Tensor Cores adds a FP8 engine with up to 1.32 petaflops of Tensor processing performance, which is five times higher than that of the previous generation. The use of SER technology has brought up to three times the performance improvement for ray tracing, and the overall game performance can also be improved by 25%. Whether it is games or other computing tasks, it can bring excellent performance.

The new Ada architecture brings many new features, such as optical flow accelerator-driven DLSS 3 technology, which predicts the motion changes between frames in the scene, and implements frame generation technology through AI to improve the frame rate while maintaining image quality. Support AV1 encoder applications to reduce video volume and achieve better picture quality. It can bring more computing power in the scenario of generative artificial intelligence. The application of RTX VSR function makes real-time video super-resolution possible.

Theoretical performance

The cooling system of Sotai RTX 4070 AMP AIRO SPIDERMAN is also quite powerful. Because it breaks through the 200W power wall. After 15 minutes, the core temperature is about 65 ℃, and the apparent storage temperature is about 78.9 ℃. The power consumption of the whole card is stable at 200W, and the fan only works at 36%, and the noise is very low.

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 Sotai RTX 4070 AMP AIRO SPIDERMAN is 99.2%, and the performance release is extremely stable.

In the 3DMark TimeSpy DX12 test, the video card score reached 18357. For comparison, the public version of RTX 4070 scored 18148, which surpassed the RTX 3080 10G while consuming much less power.

In the 3DMark FireStrike Extreme DX11 test, Sotai RTX 4070 AMP AIRO SPIDERMAN has a graphics card score of 21612, which is also similar to that of RTX 3080 10G.

In the 3DMark Portal Royal light pursuit test, Suotai RTX 4070 AMP AIRO SPIDERMAN scored 11245 points, about 600 points higher than the public version, which is also the level of being able to play light pursuit 2K games.

From the theoretical performance tests above, we can see that RTX 4070 is a card with a high frame rate of 2K, with a resolution of 2560 to 1440, the highest picture quality, and a DLSS quality with DLSS. The first is the competitive game "CS:GO", which shows the performance of RTX 4070 in high frames. After running the built-in BenchMark, the average frame reaches 491frames, which can run all kinds of electronic competition screens.

Next, the author also tested two classic 3A masterpieces. "Wild Dart 2: redemption" in the case of quality DLSS, GeForce RTX 4070 can reach an average of 121frame, has been able to meet more than 2K 120 frames to play, the experience is excellent.

In another classic 3A masterpiece, Tomb Raider: shadow, the built-in BenchMark with the highest picture quality of 2K has reached an average of 209frames, fully satisfying the 2K165Hz video game screen.

These are just appetizers, and the most attractive thing about RTX 4070 is its DLSS 3 technology, which used to improve picture quality and frame rate by rendering a low-resolution image and then zooming in to high resolution through AI. On the basis of compatibility with DLSS 2, the new DLSS 3 technology adds a frame generation function, which can insert a new frame calculated by AI between two real frames, so as to double the frame rate. At the same time, 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 "cyber punk 2077" at + 2K resolution. By default, RTX 4070 still has no way to play, with an average of about 35 frames. If DLSS 2 quality is turned on, the number of frames can reach an average of 67 frames. If you open the exclusive cool techs DLSS 3 of the RTX 40 series, it will soar to an average of 101frames, meeting 2K high frames for fun.

Legendary 3A masterpiece "Wizard 3: hunting" has also recently updated the next generation version, the configuration requirements have been greatly improved, of course, the picture quality has also kept up with the trend, and it is not out of date today. At the same time, it also provides DLSS 3 technology support, which is undoubtedly good news for RTX 40 series graphics cards.

In the next-generation version of "Wizard 3: hunter", the average GeForce RTX 4070 is only 43 frames with 2K resolution without DLSS. If the quality file DLSS 2 is turned on, it can reach an average of 66 frames. If you turn on the DLSS 3 technology supported by AI, the number of frames can soar to an average of 100 frames, which is completely possible to achieve 2K 100 frames.

In another next-generation 3A masterpiece, the Legend of the Plague: Requiem, the optimization is relatively much better. Even if you do not turn on any AI technology, you can play smoothly at 2K 60 frames, and you can play with the number of e-sports frames after DLSS 3 is added.

Measured RTX 4070 does not have a particularly smooth play experience by default, with an average of only about 55 frames. If you turn on the DLSS 2 quality file, you can achieve an average of 77 frames, and if you turn on DLSS 3 inserting frames, the number of frames will soar to an average of 117 frames, satisfying the 2K high frame rate.

Creative production in the field of creative production, Sotai RTX 4070 AMP AIRO SPIDERMAN also supports the installation of NVIDIA Studio drivers to accelerate more than 110 of the most popular creative applications, so it also has some productivity. Proprietary SDK makes these applications run faster and provides exclusive features such as Optix, DLSS, and Maxine. NVIDIA Studio has a full range of creative applications, including NVIDIA Omniverse, Broadcast, Canvas and RTX Remix. At the same time, the blessing of big show also makes it have a certain computing power of generative artificial intelligence, so there is no problem to use it for simple AI painting training.

In modeling and rendering software, the 5888 CUDA cores of Sotai RTX 4070 AMP AIRO SPIDERMAN provide hardware acceleration for increased productivity. Almost all modeling software optimizes NVIDIA's GPU, so it can take into account efficiency, stability and compatibility. For example, in the commonly used rendering tool V-Ray, you can take advantage of the ray tracing feature of RTX acceleration to achieve high-performance final frame rendering. In addition, GPU with AI noise reduction can further accelerate interactive rendering and provide a smoother work experience.

We also measured the performance of V-Ray Benchmark. Sotai RTX 4070 AMP AIRO SPIDERMAN got a score of 1857, which can meet most medium-scale modeling and rendering requirements.

Thanks to the improvement in light-chasing performance, the score of Sotai RTX 4070 AMP AIRO SPIDERMAN in V-Ray GPU RTX has also increased to 2650, which can also meet the needs of some medium-load light-chasing modeling rendering.

In the later part of the video, RTX 4070 is equipped with a NVENC encoder. And it also supports the next generation video coding technology AV1,AV1, which can provide faster video coding and higher quality streaming media transmission performance while occupying the same space. As the major video platforms want to save the cost of server traffic, AV1 coding will become the mainstream coding method in the future.

CTOnews.com also tested the PugetBench For Adobe family bucket to see if it could do the video editing job. Measured Sotai RTX 4070 AMP AIRO SPIDERMAN in the Adobe Premiere commonly used by creative workers, we enable GPU Cuda acceleration, and then use PugetBenchmark to test. The final score is 1526, and there is no pressure to render the 4K timeline.

We also use PugetBenchmark for testing in Adobe Effects, another more stressful video special effects software. The final score is 1652, which can be used to make some more complex video special effects.

In addition to video content production, RTX 40 series graphics cards also support RTX VSR technology in the field of video content consumption. You can improve the resolution of online 1080p video to 4K at most through GPU's AI calculation. At present, this technology has been adapted to Chrome browser and Edge browser, as well as local player VLC.

The use of RTX video super resolution is very simple, as long as the driver of the RTX 30 series / 40 series is updated to the latest version, and the Chrome / Edge browser is updated to the latest version. Enable the path as follows: NVIDIA Control Panel-Video-adjust video image settings. There are four gears available under this option box. The higher the gear, the more obvious the super-resolution effect, but it will also consume more GPU resources.

At present, it already supports domestic mainstream video platforms (bilibili, Douyu and Huya), as well as some foreign video platforms (Youtube, Twitch, Netflix, Hulu and Disney+). It also supports local video super resolution. In the following test, after the resolution of the leftmost native 480p is overscored, the following 1-4 gear can be seen more clearly, and the actual look and feel is comparable to that of 4K.

↑ is 480p, VSR1, VSR2, VSR3, VSR4 from left to right.

Of course, there is no need to worry about summing up the performance. RTX 4070 has flagship performance comparable to RTX 3080, coupled with a strong radiator inherited from Sotai AMP series, Sotai RTX 4070 AMP AIRO SPIDERMAN's performance release performance is absolutely excellent. What impresses me most is the joint design of its conscience. This time not only gave away a large number of "Spider-Man: across the Universe" IP periphery, but also creatively incorporated joint elements into the magnetic backplane and DIY stickers, so that each player's graphics card is not exactly the same. Such a joint name of conscience will definitely reap the hearts of a group of little spider fans.

At present, Suotai RTX 4070 AMP AIRO SPIDERMAN has been put on the shelves of major e-commerce platforms, the price of the set is 5499 yuan, if you are interested, you can go and buy it.
