The big difference with the 4070 Ti Super is that it's using the AD103 chip (with a full 256-bit memory bus and 16GB of VRAM) found in the 4080, which is a huge leap over the AD104 chip found in the 4070 Ti (non-Super), which only touts a 192-bit memory bus and 12GB of VRAM.
While the TFLOPS of the Super variant does only see a ~10% increase as you note, memory bandwidth jumps by 42% and the memory capacity jumps by 33%, while the launch price is the same in my currency.
It basically bridges half the distance between a 4070 Ti (non-Super) and a 4080 (non-Super) for the same launch price as a 4070 Ti (non-Super).
Great card for memory intensive workloads like LLM inference with big context windows, IMO.
EDIT1: 4070 Ti Super TDP is 320W (same as 4080), higher than the anticipated 285W
EDIT2: launch price confirmed to be same as the 4070 Ti (non-Super), lower than anticipated!
Appreciate the extra insight here! I hope for the sake of purchasers it is only 12% cost increase, but I have a suspicion if there's more than 12% extra value, we'll see it in the price
Just checked the CES announcement and updated my post to reflect that it actually has the same launch price that the 4070 Ti (non-Super) had! Amazing bargain!
Not only that, the RTX 4070 Ti Super gets near the same performance as the RTX 4080 non Super for $400 less. But that's MSRP. I have a feeling this card will be selling for a lot more than that.
Cheers, the 4070 TI certainly hits a certain sweet spot for sure.
I got a 4090 a few months ago before the prices increased, and I'm beyond stoked with the performance for (typically triple qhd simulation) gaming. It's just a beast.
I have a 2nd PC I'd like to upgrade too though, and the 4070 TI looks like it would be fantastic in this.
For running AI models etc the 4070ti is the best value of the bunch by far. Memory size and bandwidth are the most important things in that order (which makes the 4050, er, 4060ti 16GB a weak card)
Ergo, there's a decent chance it won't sell for MSRP.
It sure would be nice if Nvidia just named the new card 4075 or something. The whole 4070 vs 4070 Super vs 4070 Ti vs 4070 Ti Super naming scheme sucks.
