4080 Super vs 4070 Ti Super?

Fabler

Looking at getting a 4070 Ti Super as an upgrade to my 3060. But also thinking maybe waiting and buying a used 4080 Super when the 5080 comes out.

How much faster is the 4080 Super for rendering vs the 4070 Ti Super?

We don't entirely know.

While as a general thing performance within a generation is broadly proportional to CUDA count, there's additional factors that can impact that.

As far as the benchmarking thread, it has only one benchmark of a 4070 TiS (mine, in fact) and we can't shoot a good pattern from only one test (it varies between manufacturer, specific variant, individual chip, other components in the system, etc).

CUDA count alone would imply the 4080S should be about 20% better than the 4070TiS, but the actual test figures put my 4070TiS only about 10% behind the 4080S tests. Would that hold in general, or is my 4070TiS above average? We don't know.

Thanks for the info. Think I might get the 4070 TiS, it's $739 right now. The price difference between the two doesn't seem worth 10%-20%. Looking the the expected 5070 Ti specs don't look like much of an improvement (8960 CUDA Cores).

@Matt_Castle have you been happy with the 4070 TiS? And do you think you'll be upgrading to a 50 series card?

Matt_Castle

I've been happy with the 4070 TiS, but I don't yet know whether I will or won't be upgrading; it'll depend a lot on specifics, what comes out when and at what price, and a whole load of things that are only rumoured right now.

Which one has more VRAM? A fractional speed increase isn't as valuable as more memory space.

Matt_Castle

Neither. They're both 16 GB cards, so the marginal speed increase and greater power consumption/heat is the only performance difference.
