Introduction

Palit GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Jetstream OC is a custom-design, factory overclocked rendition of the new GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, which is coming in at the NVIDIA baseline price of $800. The new GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is part of a mid lifecycle refresh of the higher end of the GeForce RTX 40-series Ada generation. This is the company's fastest graphics card that it recommends for 1440p gaming with maxed out settings, and ray tracing, although we've consistently found cards from the RTX 4070 series to be capable of 4K Ultra HD gaming, if you can get the settings "high" instead of "ultra," or use features such as DLSS, or even the newer DLSS 3 Frame Generation.



Having maxed out the AD104 silicon powering the rest of the RTX 4070 series with the original RTX 4070 Ti, NVIDIA tapped into the larger AD103 silicon that powers the RTX 4080 series. The immediate dividend of this move is the wider 256-bit memory bus, which NVIDIA used to give the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16 GB of memory, which is a 33% increase both in memory size and bandwidth over the 4070 Ti. In a way this review will answer the pertinent question on everyone's minds at the time of the RTX 4070 Ti launch, of whether the AD104's SIMD engine is starved for memory bandwidth with its 192-bit memory bus. Besides more memory, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER gets a neat 10% increase in shaders, and a 20% increase in ROPs.

NVIDIA carved the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER out of the AD103 silicon by enabling 66 out of 80 streaming multiprocessors (SM), giving it 8,448 CUDA cores, 264 Tensor cores, 66 RT cores, and 264 TMUs. It also gets 96 out of 112 ROPs enabled, which is 20% more than the RTX 4070 Ti; while leaving the on-die L2 cache size at 48 MB, out of the 64 MB present. The GPU runs at 2610 MHz boost that's overclocked by Palit to 2640 MHz, and the memory at 21 Gbps, yielding 672 GB/s of bandwidth, 33% higher than the 504 GB/s of the RTX 4070 Ti.

NVIDIA Ada Lovelace graphics architecture takes advantage of the 5 nm foundry process to vastly increase transistor counts, performance, and efficiency. The new generation CUDA cores run at higher frequencies taking advantage of the node, with increased IPC, and support for shader execution reordering, a feature that should positively impact ray tracing workloads. The 3rd generation RT core comes with increased ray intersection performance, and support for displaced micro-meshes, which allow game developers to increase the geometric complexity of ray traced objects. The new optical flow accelerator is needed to draw entire alternate frames using AI, and is required for DLSS 3.

The Palit RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Jetstream OC comes with a large triple slot cooling solution that uses a trio of fans. There's no RGB LED bling, the card covers the basics of giving you a quiet, low-temperature performer. What's interesting, though, is that Palit is offering a factory overclock at MSRP. Although not by much, if the minor OC can let the card clinch a 1% lead over the reference clocked cards, it would be a job well done by Palit.
