- It has more VRAM than the RTX 4070 Ti, which can help with future-proofing and demanding games
- It supports new features like ray tracing overdrive mode and FidelityFX Super Resolution, which can enhance the gaming experience
|
Cons |
- Expensive compared to the previous generation RTX 3070 Ti and the AMD RDNA3 cards
- Only a slight improvement in performance and efficiency over the RTX 4080 12GB
- Requires a high-wattage power supply and may generate a lot of heat and noise
- Not widely available due to supply shortages and scalpers
|
- It has lower ray tracing performance than the RTX 4070 Ti, especially without FidelityFX Super Resolution
- It may face supply issues and high demand, which could make it hard to find or buy at MSRP
- It may not be compatible with some older motherboards or power supplies, which could require an upgrade
