The ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is a factory overclocked custom-design variant of NVIDIA's new release. Performance is impressive, the card can beat last generation's RTX 3090 Ti flagship, with almost double the energy efficiency and much lower heat and noise.
With the Suprim X, MSI offers an impressive RTX 4070 Ti custom design. Thanks to its huge quad-slot cooler, and an excellent fan profile, the card runs virtually inaudible, even under full load. Overclockers can manually increase the power limit up to 365 W, more than on any other RTX 4070 Ti.
The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Ti comes with a dual BIOS feature, which lets you switch to a "silent" mode BIOS that runs the cards at low fan speed, resulting in a quiet experience. The card could also be interesting for overclockers, because it offers one of the highest manual power limit adjustment ranges available.
The PNY GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC comes with a fantastic cooler paired with outstanding fan settings that make this card whisper-quiet, even under full load. What's even more impressive is that PNY can achieve this with a close-to-reference design PCB at a very reasonable $830.
Palit's GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is a cost-optimized custom-design of the RTX 4070 Ti, which means it can sell for less than other variants. Palit still invested where it matters, the cooler is more powerful than what ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte offer on their cards, with excellent, balanced fan settings.
MSI's GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Gaming X comes with a large triple-fan, triple-slot thermal solution that runs at whisper-quiet noise levels with low temperatures. In terms of performance the new card is able to match last generation's flagship, the RTX 3090 Ti, and offers new features like DLSS 3 Frame Generation.
The Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XTX Nitro+ comes with the largest factory overclock of all Navi 31 cards that we've tested so far. Sapphire was also very generous with their power limits. During overclocking, with increased limits we were able to max out the 525 W power delivery capability of the 3x 8-pin inputs.
The ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX offers fantastic overclocking potential. Thanks to a triple 8-pin power input, the XTX is no longer power-limited, and the amazing quad-slot cooler ensures the card stays cool and quiet at all times. After manual overclocking, the performance uplift to RTX 4080 was an impressive 23.1% in Cyberpunk 2077.
With the Speedster Merc 310, XFX has engineered an excellent custom-design Radeon RX 7900 XTX. Thanks to an upgraded cooler, the card can easily handle the additional heat output from the three 8-pin power inputs. The additional power is put to good use, to extend the performance lead against GeForce RTX 4080.
Navi 31 is here! The new $999 Radeon RX 7900 XTX in this review is AMD's new flagship card based on the wonderful chiplet technology that made the Ryzen Effect possible. In our testing we can confirm that the new RX 7900 XTX is indeed faster than the GeForce RTX 4080, but only with RT disabled.
AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT is built on the same Navi 31 GPU as the XTX, but with fewer chiplets, which helps bring down the price. In our review this $900 graphics card is able to match the performance of GeForce RTX 3090 Ti that launched at $2000 just a few months ago.
Today we are allowed to show you pictures of the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and XT cards that we're currently running in our labs. The $999 Radeon RX 7900 XTX goes up against the $1200 GeForce RTX 4080, and the RX 7900 XT costs only $899 and will compete with the upcoming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti.
