The Best RTX 4070 Ti Super Models
Four RTX 4070 Ti Super cards, compared on boost clock, thickness and outputs, since the chip and 16GB of memory are the same on all of them.
By Alex Morgan, PC Hardware Editor
11 min read4 products evaluated
The RTX 4070 Ti Super has 16GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus. Every model here shares that chip, so the choice comes down to clocks, cooler size and price.
This is a previous-generation card. The RTX 5070 Ti sells at a similar price, so compare both before buying. Specifications come from each listing; we did not benchmark these cards.

How We Chose
Alex Morgan compared the manufacturer specifications, connectivity, warranty terms and compatibility of every pick. Figures come from the makers unless a third-party source is named; we did not test these products ourselves.
- How these picks were ranked
- We set side by side four cards on GPU, video memory, memory and boost clock as the makers state them. Nothing was tested in-house; 3 of the 5 fields compared are stated for every pick, while boost clock and outputs have gaps.
- The shared baseline
- All 4, from the Zotac 4070 Ti Super Solid OC to the MSI 4070 Ti Super Ventus 3X, state GPU, video memory and memory and share RTX 4070 Ti Super GPU and GDDR6X memory.
- Where the specs have gaps
- The Gigabyte 4070 Ti Super Windforce MAX gives no boost clock; the Gigabyte 4070 Ti Super Windforce MAX and the PNY 4070 Ti Super XLR8 give no outputs.
- Price range
- At our last check the picks ran from the Gigabyte 4070 Ti Super Windforce MAX ($500 to $1000) to the MSI 4070 Ti Super Ventus 3X (over $1500).
