In 2022, Shadowrun launched the GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards based on the ADA Lovelace architecture, which are sought after by many gamers with their pure white shiny shape, classic transparent crystal shell, and large area of free spray space. With the release of the GeForce RTX 40 Super series by NVIDIA, Shadowrun has also updated its product line, bringing new products equipped with ** GPUs.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super is powered by the AD103 GPU, with a starting price of RMB 6,499. Since there are no Founders Edition products, all the graphics cards sold on the market are non-public graphics cards from NVIDIA partners, and apparently the GeForce RTX 40 Super series is one of them.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super has 8,448 CUDA cores and 48MB of L2 cache, which is 10% more than the existing RTX 4070 Ti's 7,680 CUDA cores, with a base clock of 2340MHz, an increase of 30MHz, a boost frequency of 2610MHz, and a power consumption of 285W. The biggest change is in the video memory, which will be equipped with 16GB of GDDR6X, which means that the memory bit width will also be increased from 192 bits to 256 bits, the video memory rate will be 21Gbps, and the memory bandwidth will also increase from 504GB s to 672GB s.
Like the RTX 4080, this time the RTX 4070 Ti Super is equipped with the AD103, which is quite different from the AD104 of the RTX 4070 Ti, with a larger chip area, and the number of transistors has increased from 35.8 billion to 45.9 billion. In addition, the full AD103 comes with three NVNC and three NVDNCs, while the AD103-275 used on the RTX 4070 Ti Super has two fewer NVDECs and one NVENC.

As you can see from the ** above, the RTX 4070 Ti Super has a significant improvement in specifications compared to the RTX 4070 Ti, but the official suggested retail price (MSRP) is the same at the time of release, which means that it is a product that does not increase the price, and players will obviously benefit from it. Therefore, there is no need to keep the RTX 4070 Ti, NVIDIA has confirmed that the old model has entered a state of discontinuation, and the next step will be completely replaced by the RTX 4070 Ti Super.
Graphics card parsing. The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super graphics card is divided into a standard version and an OC version, and we got the latter with factory overclocking settings.
Specification. 
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC graphics card has the same base clock as the public version, but the boost clock has been increased by 60 MHz to 2670 MHz. The default upper limit of the graphics card is 84, which can be unlocked up to 88, and the upper limit of the power consumption of the whole card is 285W by default, which can be unlocked and increased to 360W.
Introduce. 
The outer packaging of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC continues the two-dimensional anime style of the previous generation, with a slight gradient of light tones that look very good and full of youthful atmosphere. In the middle of the front is the battle image of the new version of the virtual image "Xingyao Niang", as the representative image of the Yingchi Xingyao series, it shows a young, dynamic and energetic image, which complements the characteristics of the customizable appearance of the Xingyao series; The upper left side has the logo of Shadow Race; The upper right clarifies that the product is a three-year warranty and supports personal warranty; The lower right shows that the graphics card is RTX 4070 Ti Super. On the back of the outer package, there is a description of the main technical characteristics of the graphics card, as well as some basic introductions, so that consumers have a basic understanding of this product.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC features a pure white exterior design, with a clear crystal casing on the outermost layer of the heatsink cover, and a diamond-cut and diamond-like shape that gives it a crystal look. It has a detachable design, which makes it easy for gamers to spray and disassemble the graphics card. Yinglax also uses edging to connect the white parts on the front, right side and top logo lights, which increases the area of free spraying and graffiti for users, and can also make the custom pattern more three-dimensional. Through this design, players can give full play to their imagination and creativity to create their own exclusive graphics cards.
The new graphics card uses the latest 12vhpwr power supply interface, which can theoretically provide up to 600W of continuous power supply, and Shadowrun also comes with 3x 8pin to 12vhpwr adapter cables. **In terms of outputs, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC has three DisplayPort 1s4A connector and an HDMI 21 interface, all of which can achieve the highest 8k@60hz output, and achieve up to 4 screen outputs, supporting HDCP 23。The baffle also has a large area of hollow design, which can increase the area of the air outlet and increase the heat dissipation effect.
The measured weight of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC graphics card is 1795G, which is on the heavy side of the triple fan cooling design in its class. The overall size of the graphics card is 354 x 154 x 63 mm, which is also on the large side of a mid-to-high-end graphics card with three fans.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC is equipped with three 102mm fans, each of which includes 11 translucent tri-fold Frost blades. The fan rotates like a spinning top to enhance heat dissipation and project a dazzling aurora lighting effect, while the crystal casing is edged with raised lace that further enhances the ARGB ambience by reflecting light. The logo light on the top of the graphics card has a multi-layer refractive mirror design, which uses a special process to create up to 8 layers of ARGB lighting effects, showing different levels of beauty.
Like its predecessors, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC comes with a dedicated cooling bracket that has a unified design language that can be easily adjusted to stabilize the graphics card. Since the bracket supports ARGB lighting synchronization, users can use ARGB triple fan + top logo light + Xingyao custom cooling bracket to form a unique ARGB lighting system of Xingyao series through different rhythms and color changes. The graphics card supports the Xtrme Tuner software, which can perform ARGB lighting control, overclocking, hardware status monitoring and other operations.
In addition, after the ARGB synchronization cable is connected, it can be synchronized with the four major motherboard manufacturers, and with the pure white and transparent appearance, it brings more dazzling and dazzling ARGB lighting effects. In addition to allowing players to build a dazzling system, its ARGB lighting effect can also use its "negative energy" detection system to allow players to troubleshoot more intuitively through the flashing of different light colors, such as the lighting effect of the graphics card flashing yellow on behalf of the external power supply of the graphics card, and the lighting effect of the graphics card flashing red on behalf of the motherboard abnormality.
Dismantle. The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC is designed with 14-phase core power supply and 3-phase memory power supply, as can be seen from the MOSFET part number BLN3, it is AOS's AOS AOZ5311NQI-03, this DRMOS has a continuous current output of 55A, and the instantaneous peak current of 10ms can reach 80A, and the instantaneous peak current of 10US can reach 120A. The core power supply PWM controller is the UPI UP9512R, the memory PWM is the UPI UP9529Q, and there is also a UPI US5650Q for power monitoring.
After disassembling the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC graphics card, you can clearly see the AD103-275-A1 core. Next to it are eight Micron GDDR6X chips, each with a capacity of 2GB and a bit width of 32-bit, forming a 256-bit 16GB specification.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC uses the Singzhuo III cooling system to achieve all-round coverage of the GPU, video memory, and power supply. Equipped with three customized 102mm super large fans, exclusive 11-blade silent frost fan blades, supporting intelligent start and stop; Equipped with two 8mm and five 6mm nickel-plated composite heat pipes with nickel-plated copper bottom; Large-area heat dissipation fins; The reflow soldering process is adopted; The white backplate has a large cut-out area to further enhance heat dissipation.
The test platform used a combination of Intel Core i7-14700K, MSI MPG Z790 Edge Ti Max WiFi motherboard, and CORSAIR 32GB dual-channel DDR5-6000 memory, which can ensure that the bottleneck in the test is the protagonist of this time, which is the graphics card.
Also tested were the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti RTX 4080 and AMD's RDNA 3-based Radeon RX 7900 XT. Tested at both 2K and 4K resolutions, including traditional raster games as well as ray-traced games, the DLSS test section is DLSS 2 3 35。
The first is a purely theoretical score, which will be tested with 3D Mark as the benchmark performance of the graphics card, including Fire Strike, Fire Strike Extreme, Fire Strike Ultra, Time Spy, Time Spy Extreme, Port Royal, and Speed Way. Among them, Fire Strike, Fire Strike Extreme, and Fire Strike Ultra test the performance index of the graphics card at 1080p resolution, 2K resolution and 4K resolution in DX11 games, respectively, and the two items of Time Spy and Time Spy Extreme are the performance index of the graphics card at 2K resolution and 4K resolution in DX12 games Royal is the performance index of the tested graphics card real-time ray tracing, and the specific results are shown in the table below, which are all 3D Mark graphics card scores.
In our 3DMark tests, we can see that the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC is on average about 8 percent faster than the RTX 4070 Ti7%, in the two tests involving ray tracing, Port Royal and Speed Way, the advantage is even more obvious. Because it is a factory OC setting, compared with the general public version of the setting product, the graphics card of Yingchi will be slightly faster overall, which is also expected.
For this playtest session, we selected 8 rasterized games and 4 ray tracing games. In general, raster games will choose very high or ultra high preset image quality, while ray tracing games will determine the specific settings based on smoothness, and none of these tests have DLSS or FSR enabled. Since the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super is positioned for gaming between 2K and 4K, the test included performance at both 2K and 4K resolutions.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC has reached around 150 fps in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Forza Horizon in raster games, and Cyberpunk 2077 and Warhammer 40K: Darktide have also exceeded 100 fps. If you switch to a ray tracing game, it still has a good performance, and Warhammer 40K: Darktide and A Plague Tale: Requiem have exceeded 60fps and can run smoothly.
The lower-spec RTX 4070 Ti is already effective in 2K gaming, and the stronger RTX 4070 Ti Super further solidifies its dominant position in 2K gaming, which will give gamers a great experience in both raster and ray tracing games at 2K resolution.
The most obvious difference between the RTX 4070 Ti Super and the RTX 4070 Ti is that the memory configuration has been upgraded, the memory capacity has been changed from 12GB to 16GB, and the memory bit width has been changed from 192-bit to 256-bit. In the eyes of many, the increase in video memory specifications is the key to the RTX 4070 Ti Super's breakthrough at 4K resolution.
Judging from the test situation, the gap between the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC and RTX 4070 Ti is larger than that at 2K resolution, and in most of the games tested, the gap between the two graphics cards is about 10%, which is a notch worse, and it is clear that the video memory has played a role. However, when it comes to specific game frame rates, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC can't fully handle 4K resolution, and there is still a gap compared to the higher-positioned RTX 4080. In addition to the good performance games of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3", it is still a bit difficult to support some triple-A games with relatively high configuration requirements, and it is recommended that players still enable DLSS if necessary.
As for 4K ray tracing games, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC still needs DLSS to deal with it, and the higher-level RTX 4080 is also unavoidable. It can be said that at this stage, if you want to run ray tracing games at 4k native resolution, it is still slightly difficult for a graphics card of this level, and you still need additional assistance.
In DLSS performance tests, NVIDIA FrameView was used to record the game's frame rate and latency. The test items are the ray tracing games above. All four games support DLSS 2 Super Resolution, DLSS 3 frame generation, and DLSS 3 is supported in Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 25. Ray reconstruction. To better reflect the performance boost brought by DLSS, Cyberpunk 2077 is preset with "Ray Tracing: Speed", while Alan Wake 2 is set to "Ray Tracing: High", both with path tracing enabled.
At 2K, all four games averaged over 100 FPS, and gamers with the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC can experience the highest level of ray tracing at higher frame rates. At the same time, NVIDIA Reflex reduces the system latency after enabling frame generation to the same level as DLSS 2 Super Resolution, or even lower than the native resolution, so that gamers will have a better user experience.
At 4K resolution, Warhammer 40K: Darktide and A Plague Tale: Requiem perform satisfactorily. However, the two path-traceable games put a lot of pressure on the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super Oct, with Alan Wake 2 still maintaining a 60 fps frame rate, while the open-world Cyberpunk 2077 averages much lower. Considering that the Super Resolution setting in the test was set to "Quality", players can adjust it to balance or even performance to get higher frame rates when actually playing.
In the Stable Diffusion AI drawing test, we used NVIDIA's own TensorRT SDK to optimize the speed of the calculation, and the specific settings of Stable Diffusion are batch size 1, batch count 10, CFG scale 7, and sampling steps 50. It can be seen that TensorRT, which is optimized for NVIDIA hardware, brings nearly double the improvement of the RTX 4070 Ti Super, and the image production speed is much faster than the average Xformers. In terms of performance, the RTX 4070 Ti Super is still far from the RTX 4080 in terms of core specifications, so it is a little closer to the RTX 4070 Ti.
D5 Render is a renderer built on Unreal Engine, and it also supports DLSS for RTX graphics cards for increased efficiency. In DLSS 3With 5 fully on, the RTX 4070 Ti Super's playback frame rate nearly doubles from 24 fps to 43 fps, and the overall performance is close to that of the RTX 4080. Visible DLSS 3The features of the 5 are not just designed for gaming, but also have significant acceleration functions in design applications.
The maximum power consumption of the graphics card is obtained in the 3DMark Time Spy Extreme stress test, and the standby power consumption is averaged for 1 minute after entering the system.
According to the results of the power consumption test, the average standby power consumption of this GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC graphics card is about 205W, the average power consumption at full load is about 292W, and the peak power consumption reaches 350021w。For ordinary gamers, if the power consumption of other parts of the platform is not high, choosing to pair it with an RTX 4070 Ti Super graphics card and starting with a rated power of 750W when buying a power supply is not a big problem.
The graphics card temperature test was conducted on an open platform at a room temperature of 24 degrees Celsius. The standby temperature is recorded 10 minutes after entering the system, and the temperature at full load is recorded after 5 minutes of running the Time Spy stress test in 3DMark, and the recording software is the log to file function of GPU-Z.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC supports fan standby standoff, so the standby temperature is the temperature under passive cooling, which will slowly rise, starting from 279 rises to the last 324 and 33 at its highest2℃。At full load, the average temperature is only an average of 612 Around, the maximum temperature is 634. The performance is very stable.
We put the graphics card in an anechoic chamber with an ambient noise of only 18 dba, set the fan to the same speed, and then tested its noise level at a distance of 50 cm. Since the fan of the graphics card is stalled when it is in standby, there is no need to test the noise during standby.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC graphics card measured a low level of 31 in the anechoic chamber1 dba, quieter when used.
When using MSI Afterburner overclocking, the upper limit of the TGP of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC graphics card was increased to 360W, and after many attempts, the final graphics card can increase the boost frequency by 250MHz and the video memory frequency by 1480MHz, and passed the 3DMark Time Spy test, showing that the graphics card score is 26506 points, which is about 7% higher than the default frequency3%, the increase is still quite good.
If you have some experience with manual overclocking, you can try overclocking the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC graphics card.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC graphics card can handle 2K games more easily, and has about 10% performance improvement compared to the regular RTX 4070 Ti. With the increase in memory capacity and bit width, gamers do not need to worry about insufficient video memory, eliminating the original bottleneck of the RTX 4070 Ti. However, there is still a significant performance gap between the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC and the RTX 4080, which is about 10%, which is a notch worse. If you run a 4K game, you will still be lacking, but you can already hit the threshold, and you can further improve the gaming experience with DLSS.
In terms of the overall design of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC, Shadowrun has not made too many changes, and has chosen to continue the design style of the previous series of products, after all, the original design of the RTX 40 series of Xingyao graphics cards has been loved by many players. The new graphics card is still well-balanced in terms of appearance and performance, and has a certain amount of playability, which meets the customization needs of personalized players, so that they can give full play to their imagination and creativity. Its price is 7299 yuan, which is similar to the official price of the previous RTX 4070 Ti Xingyao OC, which is a replacement product with upgraded specifications in the Shadowrun product line.
