The Last of Us Part I is a 2022 action-adventure game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. A remake of the 2013 game The Last of Us, it features revised gameplay, including enhanced combat and exploration, and expanded accessibility options. It was released for Microsoft Windows in March 2023. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Naughty Dog in-house engine. We test using the Ultra preset, DX12 API.

 

The Last of Us Part 1 is a game I was looking forward to testing from the get-go due to its well documented VRAM issues. While things have improved substantially with patches, at 1440p we can see a 13% lead for the 4070 Ti Super over the 4070 Ti – this may be due to the increased memory bandwidth instead of VRAM, but it's a welcome performance boost and puts the Ti Super very close to the 7900 XT.

Up at 4K, the gap widens further, with the 4070 Ti Super now 15% faster than the original Ti model, delivering 54FPS on average. It's a touch slower than the 7900 XT, but only by 6%.
