NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Allegedly 5% Faster Than RTX 3090 Ti in OctaneBench
The upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti graphics cards is allegedly 5% faster than the previous-generation flagship, RTX 3090 Ti, according to leaked OctaneBench numbers. The online submission database of the benchmark has an entry for the RTX 4070 Ti, which is shown scoring 725 points, compared to 688 of the RTX 3090 Ti, and 928 of the RTX 4080. These would put the RTX 4070 Ti at roughly 5% faster than the RTX 3090 Ti, and about 21% slower than the RTX 4080. You begin to see why it would have been a terrible idea to market the RTX 4070 Ti as the "RTX 4080 12 GB," and why the outrage was justified—which will only bear fruit if NVIDIA prices the RTX 4070 Ti lower than the $900 MSRP it had planned for the RTX 4080 12 GB.

So the 60 sku takes the place of the previous 70 sku.
the 50 sku replaces the 60
the 40 replaces the 50.
again its all just numbers.

I thought everyone agreed that the -cough- 3060/3070ti was the worst card Nvidia ever created...evarrr. haha
We all know that nvidia does their damndest to slot the 70 series on top of last gens best card (gotta create that value marker). Whether it turns out to be true or not...well that's what these reliably reliable leaks are for. To slowwwly set up the narrative. True or not.
7900XT also beats the 3090ti. Level at 4k.
and that's the crappy MBA one.
Sure, turn up RT settings and the 7900XT looks worse but the fact is, a well-crafted game with good light maps etc looks pretty damn good. I don't recall using RT in AC: Valhalla and that looked awesome. Last season NV were saying how awesome the Ampere series was for RT. Now they produce new collaborations with companies to showcase Ada (making an ancient game look better but at massive cost to fps) - just to make Ampere look so very yesteryear. You know, those $1600+ 3090ti's which are now basically worthless (at least to Nvidia).
I'll be happy not use RT until it makes a significant difference to the entire game, until then, everybody is a beta-tester for technology that is heading towards path-tracing. And RT does not make the mind-blowing difference people say it does. All it does is give NV an excuse to squeeze more and more and it's incredible that people (for whom PC stuff is meant to be an accesible and fun hobby) are not just accepting it but defending it.
FTR - I think the AMD cards are also priced badly. As for the 4070ti? It looks pretty bad given that on rasterisation (how most games still mainly operate), it'll possibly be worse than last seasons best.
Just like how we have i3, i5, i7, and i9 consumers expect a certain price and level of performance at certain tiers. While the 4070 and 4070 Ti meet the performance expectations they absolutely do not meet the price expectations. In fact they might not even fit within your typical xx80 class price bracket.
It's just as bad as having two 4080s with vastly different performance, in either case you are using the nomenclature you accustomed customers to over decades to then try and deceive them into spending more on less.
For people like enthusiasts who always do their research it won't matter much because you hopefully know what you are buying. That said it is our job as enthusiasts to ensure that this kind of thing isn't allowed to impact the broader market. This is akin to any other community where experts will sound the alarm on bad or deceptive practices and price hikes. For example, there being two 4080s would not have impacted enthusiast's ability to determine a video card's performance but for a regular person they would likely have purchased the cheaper 4080 and gotten far lower performance then they should have. The only thing lack of action againt these anti-consumer practices does is embolden Nvidia and AMD to make things continuously worse. I could not in good conscious sit idly by while the bulk of the market is getting bilked regardless of whether it impacts me personally.
GN had a recent news video on the topic I believe if you want to see their stance on the issue (although they do not spend as many words on it as I have here).
Those fart like "leak" and the endless 4080-12GB/4070TI saga deserve nothing else.
I have heard of everything from the 4060 to 5090 in "leaks" just since the launch of the 7000 series (it's not even the end of Dec). The fact that they want you to pay through the nose for Nvidia is stupid. This is what makes the 3050 a $500 GPU in Canada, while the 6600 can be as low as $269. Anyone that is going to claim that the 3050 has the advantage of DLSS and Ray Tracing should not be commenting. The narrative has become so flawed that people are trying to use last Generation pricing (when Bitcoin was $65000)when you could make $30-$50 vs $20-35 on AMD a day mining to justify the tax Nvidia is applying. That cannot leave the Elephant in the room that now EVGA have followed XFX in expunging themselves of Nvidia because of nothing more than their business decisions.
Seriously though, how Nvidia manages to sell having to turn on DLSS for decent framerates in the mid-range as something positive is beyond me. Like buying a faster card for less money wasn't an option.
Genius. Given the projected margins of 65%, that "drop the price" is not plan of the plan in the foreseable future.
Jokes aside, it could be a decent card for a decent price, but we'll have to see if retail agrees.
Turning down graphics settings is the first thing I do when getting a "faseter graphic card"... :D :kookoo: :roll:
Of course it's faster if you try it with different in-game settings!
So turning down graphics settings is the first thing I do when getting a "3 times faster graphic card" :roll: :D :kookoo:
