Gigabyte RTX 4070 Ti SUPER WINDFORCE OC Graphics Card Review

Far Cry 6

Welcome to Yara, a tropical paradise frozen in time. As the dictator of Yara, Antón Castillo is intent on restoring his nation to its former glory by any means necessary, with his son, Diego, following in his bloody footsteps. Their oppressive rule has ignited a revolution.

Available now on Steam.

As we move onto Far Cry 6, we see a similar 5% lead in favour of the Ti SUPER, but with some bottleneck going on, that doesn’t account for much as the 4080 sits below, and the 4090 only just ahead, so not much of a fair test to look at overall.

1440p sees things line up better, though again, the increase in performance from the 4070 Ti is still only at 4%, and again does nothing for our standings, other than seeing the 4070 Ti SUPER draw closer to the cheaper and last generation RX 6950 XT.

Luckily 4K sees things improve by a larger margin of 10%, which finally sees some movement, now overtaking the 3090, 7800 XT, and 3080 Ti which sounds great but doesn’t exactly shout out “next level performance” in the grand scheme of things, especially considering the price points of some of those cards.

Back at 1080p, but now with Ray Tracing enabled it all goes a bit south as the Ti SUPER only offers up 2% more performance compared to the non-SUPER Ti model. Yes, it does mean that the Ti SUPER draws closer to the 7900 XTX but that’s about the only real talking point, if any as NVIDIA should have the upper hand in terms of Ray Tracing performance.

That gain is slightly improved at 1440p to an uplift of 5%. Still, again, other than edging within a margin of error difference to the 6950 XT, there isn’t anything going on, especially as the 6950 XT improved further in the 1% lows.

Without sounding like I’m saying the same thing, it’s a tough one to talk about, because at 4K, the gain from the Ti to the Ti SUPER has grown to a little under 7%, but older, and cheaper cards are still managing to outperform it from team red, namely by way of the 6950 XT, so while I’m trying to find a silver lining, I think the overall averages across all games are going to be very interesting.
