RTX 40 SUPER series graphics card performance analysis Who is the most worth buying

Up to now, NVIDIA RTX 40 SUPER series graphics cards have released 3 products, and it is not ruled out that there will continue to be 60 models in the future, but it has made everyone very confused at the moment, among which the two suffixes "Ti SUPER" are also the first time that they appear behind the graphics card model at the same time, let's directly compare the theoretical performance of these 3 graphics cards. Compared to game scores, theoretical performance is less likely to change with drive iterations and is more accurate.

1 Introduction to the test platform and graphics card specifications

First of all, let's introduce the test platform, this time we choose Intel's latest flagship desktop processor i9-14900K, the motherboard is Z790, and the system version is updated to the latest 23H2 version.

The following author also summarizes the detailed parameters of the 3 graphics cards released this time for you to facilitate comparison.

These three graphics cards are iterative upgrades of old models, RTX 4070 SUPER and RTX 4070 Ti SUPER are both increased in volume without price increase, and RTX 4080 SUPER is even more increased in price reduction.

Although NVIDIA has not said it explicitly at present, it is basically launched to replace the prototype card, and the test results are directly seen below.

2 Theoretical performance test

This test mainly compares the upper and lower models of the three graphics cards, to see how far they are from the prototype card and downward, and compare the improvement of the prototype card.

THE FOLLOWING IS THE 3DMARKFS PACKAGE USED TO MEASURE THE THEORETICAL PERFORMANCE OF THE GRAPHICS CARD DX11: FS, FSE, AND FSU CORRESPOND TO THE THEORETICAL PERFORMANCE OF THE GRAPHICS CARD AT 1080P, 2K, AND 4K RESPECTIVELY, AND THE ACTUAL TEST RESULTS OF THE GRAPHICS CARD SCORE ARE AS FOLLOWS:

Since there are a total of 7 graphics cards to compare their scores, there are many results and they need to be carefully compared.

It can be seen that the biggest improvement is the RTX 4070 SUPER, which has basically reached the level of the RTX 4070 Ti. You must know that the RTX 4070 Ti was sold for 6499 before, and of course, it is also the card that has been criticized by users the most. However, the performance of the RTX 4070 Ti that can be bought with the 4899 is still good.

In addition, the RTX 4080 SUPER has a small improvement, although players subjectively feel that the SUPER should be placed between the two graphics cards in terms of performance, but the main intention of the RTX 4080 SUPER this time is to reduce the price, piggyback on the change.

And NVIDIA also deliberately distanced the 80-level from the 90-level graphics card, after all, the RTX 4090 is also a model that has only appeared in recent generations, and it has been named TITAN before, and basically has no intention of participating in the consumer competition below.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE NEW APPLICATION SCENARIO TESTS ADDED TO 3DMARK.

Speed Way is a test that combines real-time ray tracing and traditional rendering techniques to measure graphics card performance. Scenes include ray-traced reflections, real-time global illumination, mesh shaders, volumetric lighting, particles, and post-processing effects. Therefore, SW's test can basically be regarded as a benchmark for next-generation triple-A games.

In addition, the RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 SUPER are not suitable for running at 8K resolution, so they were not tested.

Finally, there are the relevant performance tests of DLSS 3. This test is more geared towards actual game frame rates, so the overall base is small.

Finally, on the whole, if you can buy RTX 4070 SUPER at about 4500 yuan, it is still very affordable, and RTX 4070 Ti is an advanced choice, after all, it is more expensive1600 yuan, it can get good results on 4K, but the positioning is more vague.

If you want a game flagship, then the RTX 4080 SUPER of 8099 yuan is still good, but it has just been released, and some cards have rushed to 9000, so forget it, let the bullets fly for a while.
