ASUS GeForce RTX 4070 Ti TUF

[Shelly74]

I also got the card and the performance is very good. Here in Vienna I paid 900 euros which was the cheapest offer.

Same here 900 euros as an upgrade from my gigabyte extreme gaming oc gtx1080. Im still on a 6700k so this will follow a new pc but for now works. Obv the cpu bottleneck is obvious but I only have 1 game that pushes the card to its limit. Hotd scarlet dawn. I did couple basic tests. I have the non oc version. In kombustor im able to get 3ghz at 100% power limit. Anything above that and I start to see some black spots here and there. Stock boosted up to 2800 which was a nice suprise. 110% maxed power limit didnt made any difference. Maybe 20-40mhz max. Didnt test the oc at 2 or 4k to be honest only at FHD. Mine came with cooling pipes slightly bent from factory as u can see from pic so ill get a replacement. It does get hovers at 72c during stress on a corsair case even at 100% fan which I admit doesnt have the best flow in the world for this monster. It was ok for the gtx but this one sits much higher so power conector cable is making some heavy pressure against side panel. Ill need to get a cablemod adapter soon. Pny seems to have the power connector clip sitting much lower. I may actually replace it for the pny just for that. I read the temps are better by a few degrees also and i dont need the extra wiggle room for oc anyways.

Bent heatpipes arent an issue, but if that makes it have the wrong contact between the frame/fan/heatsink that's a serious QC issue, or damage in shipping

Yeah i mean i dont think its possible to bend the pipes that much without breaking something after its assembled. I can see the pcb flexing when i try to level the pipes back to the correct horizontal position parallel to board. To me it looks like someone was sleeping on the job that day. And to be fair at 100% fan speed from other reviews on yt and reddit i was not expecting 70 plus. But benchmarking is not real gaming and case is small for this so yeah i think its cosmestic. But id buy another anyday. Im blown away by its performance.

If the bent cooler puts the PCB under any kind of stress, that's just a long-term failure waiting to happen as thermal cycling does a number on all that lead-free solder under any kind of bend stresses.

I'd RMA, even if there was a chance the replacement card didn't do so well in the silicon lottery. €900 is too expensive to risk failure just outside the warranty period.

RTX 4070 Ti TUF non-OC is price about £827,00 / 1023USD some webshops even go as far saying this

Yeah i asked them to replace it by another identical or the pny. Oc for me its not a deal breaker. I am happy with stock boost clocks. That was just for fun. Dam if this is not impressive

3GHz seems to be par for the course, actually - so the one you get it exchange for will probably manage the same feat.

About to purchase this card but I am limited what card I can get having a corsair 680x case. Max I can go is 300mm. It was either this or the RX 7900XT sapphire. It's for 1440 so should be fine and playin g my ghost recon game.

has anyone bought this gpu.. does it suffer from coil whine?

What kind of question is that? Coil whine is not built into a line of products, it's just an aberration. So, luck of the draw.

I have chance to buy used tuf from ebay for nice price.. that's why Im asking .and Asus is notorious for coil whine

Like I said, it's luck of the draw. Nobody can tell what you're going to get, unfortunately.

Edit: Coil whine is a form of resonance. It happens under specific circumstances, it doesn't happen at all in any others.

My 4060Ti was damn-near silent on the test bench with an RM850X in it, but I had to take it out of the HTPC with an older BeQuiet SP10 because it squealed like a dying rodent at 4K120Hz in even the lightest of loads.

It's the combination of parts that causes coil whine more than anything else. You cannot say "this card has coil whine" and "this one doesn't". It simply doesn't work that way. You need to find someone with your exact PSU, your exact motherboard, a display with the exact same resolution and refresh rate as you, and possibly even who plays the same games as you. Maybe then, there'll be some correlation but as others have said - there's manufacturing variance in the individual components that cause coil whine so even two identical machines may have different levels of coil whine.

How is that then on reddit mostly asus owners report coil whine?

Any number of reasons:
-Asus may sell more cards
-Asus users may be more vocal
-Asus may be more lax wrt tolerances during QC

Yeas ago a lot of people were complaining about coil whine on the Zotac AMP! 980Ti cards. I owned two of them for 6 years and neither had any coil whine. The cards were a little different, exact same models, but one had Samsung memory and the other had Hynix.

I've had other sets of GPUs that were identical with everything, even the same BIOS. One card would overclock extremely well and the other one wouldn't overclock the slightest bit.

My point is, you won't know for sure if a GPU has coil whine unless you get it regardless if someone has the same model and doesn't get coil whine or does. Asking and hoping you get an answer you like, you won't get one.

Any number of reasons:
-Asus may sell more cards
-Asus users may be more vocal
-Asus may be more lax wrt tolerances during QC

I'm fairly certain it's the first two reasons.

There are more ASUS cards out there so you'll obviously see more posts about ASUS for anything - both good and bad.

Asus buyers often pay the ASUS tax; ASUS have marketed their brand such that people will blindly pay 10-25% more for any given thing under the false impression that it's higher quality and more stringently-designed than the competition. They're more likely to be upset enough to moan about it online having paid extra in the hopes of getting a better experience and then suffering an issue that they were hoping to avoid by spending more. People who buy cheaper or the cheapest model they can find are under no illusion that it's a premium part, and more willing to accept that some flaws such as coil whine are a compromise they made for saving money.

TUF GPUs are fine, but there's nothing special about them. The coolers are one rung up the ladder in terms of quality and they tend to have VBIOS fan profiles that favour lower fan speed above outright cooling performance. In terms of VRM design, chokes, inductors, and all the parts that could potentially generate coil whine, ASUS use the exact same parts as many of their competitors.

Thank you for replying,i will try my luck with palit or Gainward

may i have a question?!
if i see the rev about the 4070Ti, the average fps in 1440p is 170FPS.... and if i check the 4070Ti Super rev this number is 137FPS... is tis OK?! how is this possible?!
_o_

Different test systems. Most likely it's Win11 vs Win10.

 

[Chrispy_]

Isn't it different games too? W1z keeps the games suite up to date, and those

Different test systems. Most likely it's Win11 vs Win10.

The average has gone down because the games being tested are different games!

Older games that are easy to run with high framerates like Forza, Metro, RE:Village have been replaced by newer games that run like shit such as like Alan Wake 2, Cities Skylines II, Hogrwarts, Jedi Survivor, Lords of the fallen.

The only comparable numbers are the numbers for two identical games, but even then you have to factor in the possible impact that a year of driver updates and Game patches makes. CP2077 runs much better today than it did a year ago, for example.

I got my ROG TUFF 4070 Ti about 2 months ago now and I'm very happy. I paid roughly $1400 CAD for it at Best Buy. Trying to find any graphics card in Canada is a struggle, unless you order online, but I'm not willing to order something that expensive and in high demand, to be handled by 100 random people, which any one of them could snatch it right up, I've seen it happen before, and it's not about to stop.
I get 3000MHz as a steady OC during gameplay with it boosting to 3030-3045MHz for short periods.
Not sure why but my memory shows its running at 21000MHz, but that's that overall operating speed no, 2.1 GHz/s? I can push that up to 22000MHz and also be steady during gameplay.
I love the graphical advancement and beauty it adds to games, especially my favorite classics like Resident Evil 4, the RT just makes that game pop. I don't mind the performance hit, I get a steady 90FPS. Considering consoles such as PS4 are capped at 60FPS, I'm quite happy getting 50% better performance over a "Next-Gen" console, plus they don't have near the quality graphics PCs have with additions like RT.
I was considering going for the 4090 but I think it would have been overkill for 1440p gaming, I don't have a monitor to support it, I have an ASUS TUF 34" Curved QHD 180Hz 21:9 Monitor so spending almost double seemed like a lot, plus I'm probably going to be sucked into buying the next 50 series cards and that's just because I would want the next generation of RT cores, but we'll have to wait and see how the NvidiaMob is going to handle this launch and how much they try to pull over on us, lets hope we catch it like we did for this 12GB 4080
