• The 1% low difference was 9.5%, higher on the RX 9070 XT as it averaged 110 FPS compared to the RTX 4070 Ti Super’s 100 FPS.

Star Wars Outlaws

• Next, we saw that the RTX 4070 Ti Super pushed in a way that tied the results, and both cards performed with 60 FPS on average. 
• Similar to the average frame rates, we were shocked to see that both cards had the same average minimum frame rates of 51 FPS.  

Starfield

• On Starfield, the RX 9070 XT was only 1.3% ahead of the RTX 4070 Ti Super as both GPUs obtained 78 FPS and 79 FPS, respectively. 
• There was a slight difference of 2.9% in the 1% lows as the RX 9070 XT averaged 69 FPS compared to the RTX 4070 Ti Super’s 67 FPS.

Productivity Benchmarks

Now that we’ve covered these cards’ gaming benchmarks, let us cover their productivity benchmark in three of the most popular software. 

Adobe Premiere Pro

• With a 5.5% boost, the RTX 4070 Ti Super was ahead with 12,927 points compared to the RX 9070 XT’s 12,234 points on Adobe Premiere Pro.

Overall Gaming Performance

Average Framerate

From eight games at 1440p, we’ve seen that the RX 9070 XT had a 4.7% edge over the RTX 4070 Ti Super. This difference is very slight because the RTX 4070 Ti Super ultimately performed better in two of the eight games and also tied its rival’s frame rates in one game. 

1% Lows

In the area of 1% lows, the RX 9070 XT again came out at the top, with a 6.1% lead over the RTX 4070 Ti Super. While the RTX 4070 Ti Super was excellent in average frame rates, it took a slight blow in 1% lows as it had three games that dropped below the 60 FPS mark compared to RX 9070 XT, which fell in two games. 

Productivity

The RTX 4070 Ti Super won over the RX 9070 XT by a 4.7% margin in the productivity sector. Not only was it better, but it also had the same margin that the RX 9070 XT had in average frame rates. It was great in video editing, especially in Premiere Pro, but it showcased even better performance in the AI sector. 

Power Consumption

Despite having higher productivity performance, the RTX 4070 Ti Super was 17% better than the RX 9070 XT in terms of power consumption. But this was expected since the RTX 4070 Ti Super has a lower TDP rating than the RX 9070 XT. 

Price And Availability

The RX 9070 XT is the more affordable option, as it is 67.3% cheaper than the RTX 4070 Ti Super. However, the RX 9070 XT is a new release, so its price might rise. We’ve taken this price from the average of 15 different variants for each card, and both cards have variants whose prices fall on both the lower and the higher sides. 

Final Verdict—What We Recommend?

RTX 4070 Ti Super: This card is a great performer, especially in productivity. Apart from a few games, it showcased excellent performance in 1440p, which makes it an entry-level 4K card as well. Despite the high price of its higher-end variants, the cost of its other variants is pretty reasonable. 

RX 9070 XT: This is a solid card that not only offers high raw gaming and productivity performance but is offered at a relatively lower price tag. Yes, its price isn’t final for now and might increase. When it does rise, it will still provide a better value for money unless it inflates to an unreasonable point. 

The RTX 4070 Ti Super has served its purpose well and offered great value for money before the release of the RX 9070 XT. We’ll continue recommending the RX 9070 XT as long as its price drops below the RTX 4070 Ti Super’s, making it the best value card in its range.
