Ray tracing 8-game average FPS

On average, over the eight ray traced games tested, the 4070 Ti Super is 6% faster than the 4070 Ti, so performance scaling is very similar to what we saw from our rasterised games. Nvidia does have a clear lead over AMD however, with the Ti Super 24% faster than the 7900 XT at 1440p, and 9% ahead of the 7900 XTX.

4K is possible in some games, but this is where we see the biggest uplift for the 4070 Ti Super over the 4070 Ti, as it's 16% faster on average, thanks to the couple of games where we did see a benefit in having more than 16GB VRAM.

Cost per frame, launch MSRP data

As such, cost per frame for ray tracing clearly shows Nvidia GPUs to be the best value. The 4070 Ti Super can't match the 4070 Super here, but it is substantially better than the likes of the RTX 4080.

Cost per frame, current pricing data

Even when looking at cost per frame based on current prices, the 4070 Ti Super is up there at the top of the chart.
