ASUS RTX 4070 Ti TUF Gaming OC 12GB

So we booted up F1 22 at 4K on max settings and after a long looped run, we found the GPU temperature sitting around 63 degrees with occasional small jumps up to 65 degrees. The memory junction went a little higher at 68 degrees while the GPU hotspot temperature sat closely around the 74-degree mark throughout the test. These temperatures meant that our fan speed remained fairly quiet at below 1400 RPM with the power draw pulling around 273 Watts during our run.

So it performed within where we’d expect it to, but if TUF cards give us anything to go by based on previous experience, it should do extremely well in terms of overclocking. So with that in mind, we raised the temperature limit along with the power limit to 110% which takes it from its stock 285 Watts up to 314 Watts and then proceeded to raise both the core clock and memory clocks. After pushing the core clock to 225MHz and the memory clock to 700MHz we settled on stopping there due to instability issues if we went any further.

Stock

This resulted in a CPU clock of 2535MHz, a boost clock of 2955MHz and a memory clock of 1400MHz or a little under 22.4Gbps Effective.

Overclocked

By pushing the card to these limits, we went back into F1 22 to run the same test. This time we saw the GPU temperature didn’t really change a whole lot, sitting mostly around the 66 degrees range, and this small increase carries over to the other temperatures as well, with the memory junction not changing at all at 68 degrees while the GPU hotspot temperature saw a very slight increase up to a max of 78 degrees, but sitting mostly around the 76-degree point. Even with these slight increases, the fan speed only saw a very slight bump that was 60 RPM higher than the pre-overclock results while the power also saw a small increase now up to around 286

In games, this now sees the ASUS TUF Gaming OC coming in with just over 6%  more performance than its stock performance and now puts it above the stock performance of the 4070 Ti from Gigabyte, also now with stronger 1% lows too.

In Cyberpunk, we still saw gains, but only of around 4%, though again, free performance is always nice to see. While it did see a boost, it’s still only just ahead of the Gigabyte Gaming OC card, and a bigger gap would have been nicer to see.

Death Stranding saw an uplift of 7% between stock and overclocked performance, which now also puts it ahead of the Gaming OC from Gigabyte, which we will be looking at its overclocked performance in future content as I feel that there may be a bit of a fierce battle between both cards when overclocked.

Lastly in Watch Dogs: Legion, we again saw a similar gain as other games with just under 6% of extra performance when overclocked, which again means that the ASUS TUF Gaming OC is now ahead of the other 4070 Ti we’ve tested in both the averages and the 1% lows.
