Sometime in the coming weeks would be a good time for reviews on the new power supplies that have direct cabling for these cards. Thanks for the benchmarks, the next two in the super line should be a little more interesting in price / perf.

Just popping in on the latency side of things - I'd love to ping over one of my open source latency testing tools for you to try out. It does the mouse movement testing you mentioned, it's a bit more automated, and it's fully open source (and available). I know it helps me a fair bit with testing, so hopefully it'd be a useful addition for you too!

[@moozooh]

The whole series was Nvidia's best new release offering ever since probably the original GeForce 256 DDR. Performance shot up, power consumption plummeted, GPGPU applications went through a renaissance, all cards from 1070 up stayed perfectly relevant for at least the next 3-4 years outside of RT workloads. Hell, 1080 Ti is still just fine for 1080p play for almost any game. Everything that came since has been a series of usual compromises that only become worthwhile after the mid-series refreshes like this one. That being said, this *does* look like a good refresh at least.

I just dont think it wil drop, the 7800XT is still a better buy than this new card.

[@patsk8872]

Good if it happens. Between the 2 cards users will have to decide whether they want to spend $100 more for slightly more performance and better RT + DLSS, or want to spend a bit less, and have 16GB rather than 12GB for games where that would matter, either now or in the future. Honestly if the 4070 Super had 16GB it would be pretty perfect. With 12GB I'm not sure.

[@sirmonkey1985]

i don't think any of these new cards are going to force AMD to drop prices. AIB's are going to be in the 650-750 dollar price range for the 4070 super.

Hi, I’m just wondering why you used a 12700KF cpu for testing, don’t get me wrong, I’ve once owned that cpu before and it performs well, but since this is purely gpu performance, shouldn’t you be using a cpu where it won’t bottleneck any gpu at all?

How is it gonna bottleneck any card? You mean those silly sites that say a 7700x is poor with a 4060 16gb and recommended a 32 core threadripper...😂 a cpu that has core performance of a cpu that is 6 years old.

[@qGte]

@@mitri5389 You either don't know anything about cpu and system compatibility or you are purposefully try and spread misinformation. You clearly don't know what you are talking about. 7700x is a very good cpu, it can be paired up to a 4080 or 4070 Ti super which is suitable for max 1440p to high 4k with ray tracing. Threadrippers are not good for gaming whatsoever because of their relatively poor single core and, like cb2077 8 core performance as cpus like 12700k can go up to 4.9 Ghz (5 Ghz if unlocked) while a 32 core threadripper that cost about 10-15x as much will only get around 4.7-4.8 GHz. Resolution is the reason for bottlenecks, as the gpu aren't the demanded for lower resolutions. You would have to game at 12k resolution in order to fully use up the power of the 4090 when paired with a cpu that is 6 year old because of their performance. In case you don't know this, but in order to run a game, like cs go, a cpu is more demanded because of the amount of detailed needed to be process instead of CB2077 which requires geometric and parallel calculations which requires more gpu. So please, either get your information straight, or simply stop trying to comment random bs that does nothing.

The problem is that it's more expensive than the 4070 and 7800 XT, and still only has 12GB of vram. It's hard to justify paying 100 USD more than the 7800 XT to get less vram, and I suspect that the 4070 is going to be dropping somewhat below 550 as well, as it has already been available for below 550 at times over the last couple of months. 600 USD was a lot to pay for a graphics card with 12GB of vram a year ago, and now we're only about a year away from the next generation from both AMD and Nvidia, and maybe half a year away from Intel's new generation of cards as well.

would you be interested to add productivity benchmark for GPU's ? You are doing it for CPU's but renderers, but I would really know the improvements they do in productivity too in softwares like blender cycles, redshift, vrayGPU. etc...

[@Joe-KN4IFI]

Thanks Steve !

[@1SaG]

Hmm... I would've expected a bit more uplift over the 4070 considering the increase in CUDA cores. Oh well... guess I'll have to wait for the Ti Super reviews and actual retail pricing in my neck of the woods.

[@Defeft]

It'll depend on the game tbh, some will have little improvement and others could have a 20% improvement

[@2intheampm512]

​@@DefeftThis right here. In bandwidth limited scenarios you'll get less of an uplift, but in compute limited scenarios you'll get far closer to the theoretical uplift based on the CUDA Core/TFLOPs increase

[@danieloberhofer9035]

Basically. Should be cheaper for Nvidia, as well, since it uses a noticeably smaller die. But I could be wrong about that - there's rumors aplenty that Nvidia received massive discounts from Samsung because the yields were abysmal. Anyway, won't cost Jensen his next jacket.

[@DC3Refom]

bang on , the actual successor to 3080 the 4080 is terrible value its less of an uplift from 2080-3080 , I really dont give a shit rt its still in its infancy and its not like its a dramatic difference in most games between on and off the biggest advantage right now is for debs , it makes their work a good bit easier , while we incur a huge performance penality and have to run below native res. I have to laugh at the everyone who wants to see the 4080 super review because its a good £1000 for fe thats not good at all , and the aibs your talking £1200 -£1400

Latency testing is a great addition to the list. I am wondering what the components of the latency testing rig are, and whether it's AMD or INTEL. Also curious which one of the two has lower latency. Solid video!

[@jooglana]

Gonna upgrade to the 4070 super from a 3060 Ti, I wanted a 3070 but had to settle with a 3060 Ti after a year of waiting. Gonna get about $250 for it anyway. The extra 4GB will be nice for future proofing. AMD has more ram and seems to trade some blows but has higher power consumption and I only have a 650W power supply.

[@Mr.Stephane_L]

good idea for the input latency test !

[@asetto15]

Thank you for adding latency comparison. That's awesome, and I hope it sticks around in all your reviews. My hot take is that latency matters more to the gamer's overall experience than framerate, but I'm a Guitar Hero / Rock Band nerd, so you should probably ignore me.

Much appreciated to see the 3080 Ti back in the diagrams - I didn't watch all past reviews but I think I rarely saw it except in the initial 30xx videos.

[@mitchellpatterson1829]

Ti-ing "Super" to the 4070 might be a dumb name, but it will still replace my 2070S (unless the jump from 40 Ti to super tie is disappointing). Agree with Steve, 4070 Ultra would have been a better name especially since there was a major change in the memory, both capacity and bandwidth. Super works for the other versions since the changes are less architectural.

[@BBWahoo]

Get a 4070ti instead

[@mitchellpatterson1829]

@@BBWahoo That was the original plan actually. I had committed to buying a 4070 Ti, but the same week the Super line was announced, or formally rumored, or whatever, and I decided it was worth holding off a month or so and getting hard numbers for the Ti and Super. I have done some benchmarks on my PC, lowest settings at at 1080 and recording my CPU limit. I'll get the Ti or Super based on where price and whatever one is closest to those numbers at 4K overlap.

[@BBWahoo]

@@mitchellpatterson1829 Yeah, the deciding factor for me is the VRAM. If you feel 12gb is too little and the prices are similar, then the Ti Super might be a relatively better deal.

There will be no founders edition 4070ti supers therefore it will never be 799 cheapest I have seen is 850 and that card I would never buy it is the cheapest AIB card. 899 and up is what they will cost and if you have that much to spen get the 7900 xtx 24gb vram for 950!! It is much much faster. They ruined these drops with AIB only and with the other 2 founders edition will sell out in seconds to scalpers when Nvidia should limit one per person period. Good luck and hope you get a good card. 7900xt is a good card too.

I finally saved some money and bought myself a 7800xt. I was lucky enough to buy the Gigabute one for the MSRP. I was in doubts if I made the right call, as the 40-th series super launch was rumored around the corner. And from the looks of it, I made a good decision.

​ @lupintheiii3055 I get it, but it is just one additional test that doesn't take any effort (1 to 20min based on how fast the GPU is) and it would cater to a decently sized additional audience instead of 5 game benchmarks repeating pretty much same results.

[@lupintheiii3055]

@@StayOkToday One single benchmark will be completely useless for anyone except a specific subset of users and even for them would be questionable since it's hard to find someone using just a single program for productivity, that's without even mentioning with professional programs you can have 200% difference between two GPU wich are otherwhise comparable in games. Plus a single benchmark for 20-30 GPU can take one or two days of work full time without even talking about the validation process (you said it yourself... 1-20 minutes X 20-30 GPU X 3 run... consider time to switch GPU etc.... that's 1 to 2 1/2 working days just for the test). There is a reason why there are entire channels focusing just on that.

Would really like to see a 13900K or 7800X3D for the test system in these GPU reviews, I don't get why you would use a 12700K still when there can be some differences even at high resolutions anymore. It's also not like those CPU's just came out, they've been out for closer to a year. IIRC you guys have used those processors for some videos involving GPUs anyway. Love the latency addition though and it's a great video as always.

[@ij6708]

Because they'd have to redo all the GPU benchmarks with the new platform. It's not a big enough jump in performance yet

[@ZWortek]

@@ij6708They already re-ran a ton of the GPU results just for this video which you can see as there denoted "1/24". The 13900K came out in October 2022 within 12 days of the RTX 4090. They started using the 4090 in February 2023 and it became the test setup GPU by the 7000 series X3D's release date in February of 2023. They've had nearly a year to just switch to the 13900K or 7800X3D for GPU benchmarks, and have mentioned that the transition is coming, yet still haven't done it lol. Also, there can easily be a 20-40% performance difference at 1080p, and upwards of 15% at 1440p, between the 12700KF (or 12900K) and 13900K or 7800X3D, literally in GN's own testing with a 4090 so there is definitely a big enough jump in performance. GPU benchmarks are often not supposed to be CPU limited but they still show 1080p results and lots of people are interested in high framerate gaming so it just doesn't make sense to limit the test platform for this long.
