Ratchet & Clank is notorious for favouring AMD, especially in the lows which is clear to see across all of our results, though the SUPER still manages to push performance ahead of the non-SUPER by 6% along with 14% better 1% lows, though AMD have this title at 1080p pretty sewn up.

Another 6% increase comes at 1440p which puts the 4070 Ti SUPER closer to the levels of performance seen by the 7900 XT but still sees those frankly miserable 1% low figures that could lead to some choppy gameplay in places. Luckily DLSS could be a saving grace for any RTX GPU here so it’s worth keeping that in mind.

At 4K, the RTX 4070 Ti really ran out of steam for some odd reason and re-testing confirmed that as its performance matched the RTX 4070. Due to this, the gains were much larger moving to the Ti SUPER of just under 30% and firmly cementing its position just below the 7900 XT, though again, the 1% low figures are hard to ignore.

At 1080p with RT enabled, the 1% lows smooth themselves out quite dramatically and NVIDIA shows they are back in the game. Sadly, this does only equate to another 6% performance jump from the Ti to the Ti SUPER, but considering the same price point, it’s still not one to ignore unless you already have a 4070 Ti, in which case, I wouldn’t be looking to change to the SUPER version.

The margin at 1440p increases closer to 7%, but AMD’s stronger lows really do start to be noticeable again with the 7900 XTX, though that does sit dramatically lower in the standings and NVIDIA essentially owns the top part of our chart.

Then at 4K we’re looking at 5% between the Ti and Ti SUPER, which actually only equates to 2 frames per second in both the averages and 1% lows, but shows the strong Ray Tracing performance that NVIDIA have in this title, and again, enabling DLSS will see those numbers increase quite dramatically.
