With the launch of the RTX 4000 series, there was a lot of hype. The RTX 4090 leads the pack with great performance gains and extra features. But then the two 4080s came and one relaunched to become the 4070 Ti, but is the RTX 4070 Ti good?
As mentioned, initially the card came as the 12GB model of the 4080. But with pushback and confusion and even high price points, it was withdrawn. So then it came out as the RTX 4070 Ti. Still, with the completely different GPU and lower specs, it was on its own. So we look at what it offers, and the performance it achieves. With a look at if it is worth the price.

- Solid build quality and high finish
- Excellent cooling solution to keep the temperature and performance up
- Overclocked model gives you one of the top specs for the model
- It is more expensive, pushing above the MSRP of the card
The three-slot graphics card is an overclocked version of the card. It has a 5% higher boost clock than the standard version so can offer even better performance than the other choices. It comes in a bigger size than standard. With a high-quality build and tough design, it does stand out from the lot. Along with a little RGB for those who like to keep it clean. The other difference also comes from one extra HDMI connector.
ASUS TUF RTX 4070 Ti gaming performance
Our test bench used for the testing:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
- Cooler: Asus ROG RYUJIN II 360
- RAM: 2x 16GB Trident Z5 Neo DDR5
- Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Hero
- PSU: ASUS ROG Thor 1200W
- Case: Cooler Master MF 700
The card is a greatly capable GPU, with great performance across the board and resolution-wise. Not faltering at the highest settings. Although you may consider dialing it back at higher resolutions and ray tracing. But that’s where DLSS and upscaling come in handy, or if you just scale back some of the settings.
But even so, it is still a great option to get what you need. However, that may change depending on the price and what alternatives you can get for the same performance.

The 3DMark performance gives a good overview of the card’s capabilities. And the benchmarks provide a great comparison. The 4070 Ti sits in 5th behind the 7900 XT and 4080. Yet still above the previous generations’ offerings, so there is plenty of potential there.
Is the RTX 4070 Ti good?
Overall the 4070 Ti is a good powerful and great graphics card. With the ability to get great performance around there. however, the price is where it falls behind. The cost is much higher than the previous generation, which is unusual, even with the gains. Especially as that’s for the MSRP of a nonexistent Founder’s Edition which the custom cards can’t achieve.
Overall the ASUS TUF choice is a good card to choose. With improved performance and quality, it is a great choice of model.
