Here we present frame rate figures for each graphics card, averaged across all 12 games on test today. These figures can disguise significant variations in performance from game to game, but provide a useful overview of the sort of performance you can expect at each resolution tested.

After 12 games, the results are pretty much what we expected given the specs – the RTX 4070 Super slots between the original RTX 4070 and the RTX 4070 Ti, though it is much closer to the latter GPU than it is the former. That's because, at 1440p, it is on average 15% faster than the 4070 but just 6% slower than the 4070 Ti. That also makes it 8% faster than the RX 7800 XT, 13% ahead of the RTX 3080 10GB, but still 18% slower than the RX 7900 XT.

4K gaming isn't out of the question either, where the 4070 Super is 16% faster than the 4070 and 7% slower than the 4070 Ti. It's also 7% faster than the 7800 XT here, and 10% ahead of the RTX 3080 10GB.
