Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti vs RTX 3070 Ti: The RTX 4070 Ti is the latest midrange desktop GPU card from Nvidia. But how does it perform when compared to its predecessor? To find out, we carried out the performance test by pairing both GPUs with the latest Intel 13th-Gen Core i9 CPU.
The several tests carried out were in 4K gaming, 1440p, and 1080p. And the results from the various tests showed that the latest card based on the Ada Lovelace GPU is superior. Let’s look at their specs comparison first, afterwards, we move to the game-by-game comparison.
