Navigating the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series Graphics Card Market: A Review of the EMTECH RTX 4070Ti SUPER

Injected at one week intervals, this time Ti SUPER

Next week on the 31st at 11pm RTX 4080 SUPER

This product would have given great satisfaction if the price had been lower.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards are a range that most gamers envy. After going through a long-term pandemic, the PC industry is experiencing a recovery and the trend is becoming more and more advanced day by day, and it is clear that the main device driving this process is the graphics card.

Although there is a rival called Radeon, in fact, Nvidia holds a superior position in the graphics card market. In a market where demand is overwhelming and there is absolute power, prices are bound to rise. As a result, it is difficult to purchase the flagship series, the RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 series, even if they are available.

Of course, according to NVIDIA, they are announcing various sub-models to broaden customer choices, but the problem is that releasing those sub-models doesn’t mean the price will be lower, so the confusion only increases.

Ironically, some complain that this product is also an extension of chaos.

# If you need higher performance than 4060 at a reasonable price

The RTX 4070 series is a model urgently introduced to please users with a more reasonable price than the flagship model and higher performance than the 4060 model. However, the problem is that the number of models with something “attached” after the model other than the simple 4070 is on the increase, making everything more and more confusing.

At least, it is understood that the RTX 4070 Ti has more cores and a slightly higher TGP than the RTX 4070. However, within a week a model called SUPER was created. The RTX 4070 also has SUPER and the RTX 4070 Ti also has SUPER.

It becomes complicated because it is less intuitive from the user’s point of view. It has become difficult to judge the superiority and inferiority of the products and decide which product is right for me.

It is easy to guess that RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is actually an improved version of RTX 4070 Ti. The problem started with the fact that the RTX 4070 Ti model was released at a price $200 higher than the RTX 4070 in the US, but there was no significant improvement in performance. Either I made an economical choice with the RTX 4070, or I overdid it and opted for the RTX 4080, but the position of the Ti model became ambiguous.

# Attitude Change NVIDIA 4070 Ti Discontinued Replacement 4070 Ti SUPER

NVIDIA then discontinued the RTX 4070 Ti in 2023 and quickly introduced the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER at the same price. Compared to the RTX 4070, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER increased its core count by a whopping 43 percent from 5,888 to 8,448, and the base clock increased by 20 percent from 1,920 MHz to 2,310 MHz.

The bandwidth of the 4070 Ti and 4070 was the same at 504 GB/s, but in the SUPER model it increased by 33% to 672 GB/s. Power consumption remains the same as the Ti model, making for a notable improvement. Since the price was frozen, the market reaction was enthusiastic.

So, we are faced with the fundamental question of whether the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is worth buying. In conclusion, the answer is “yes”. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has become a model with an embarrassing performance difference compared to the RTX 4070, and the performance difference with the RTX 4080 is even smaller.

However, the price is closer to the 4070 than the 4080. When approached only with very simple and intuitive specifications and price, there is no denying that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is a model with excellent value for money.

With the announcement of the SUPER series, manufacturers are responding quickly and Emtech is a representative example in Korea. It can be said that the 2024 version has been replaced with SUPER, succeeding the current, already popular 4070 Ti STORM model.

# EMTECH RTX 4070Ti SUPER graphics card

Emtech is a company that has been around for over 20 years and was created by the collaboration of graphics card experts. It is a brand more recognized by experts than general users, covering pretty much everything related to PC devices such as networks, motherboards, storage devices, coolers, cases, etc., and has recently developed the brand into aggressively, including the announcement of a complete PC under the Redbit brand, but what it does best is graphics cards. The fact that the SUPER model is released at a faster pace than other manufacturers shows that the long-term partnership between Emtech and NVIDIA is solid.

Emtech 4070Ti SUPER is true to the essence of the GPU with a triple 90mm cooling fan, multi-display support and high-quality internal PCB composition. The 4070 TI Super is basically very energy efficient. At the same time the heat generation also corresponds. However, we also have an exit strategy in place. The aluminum alloy back plate adds durability, and the high thermal conductivity ensures ventilation efficiency and heat dissipation.

It also applies 0-db technology, which prevents the fan from running when not in use, so the fan only runs when the temperature rises and provides a comfortable, noise-free working environment during light activities such as web browsing, streaming videos, and general office work. When using it at home, there is nothing better than staying silent.

Basically, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has been improved to experience significantly more core counts and significantly higher clock speeds at the same rate as the RTX 4070 Ti. The RTX 4080 and above series are expected to become Nvidia’s new flagship product, which has already been decided to be purchased mainly by experts and high-end users.

**Editor’s note

Considering that this is in fact the last model before the announcement of the RTX 5 xxx series, it is a product made with the maximum cost-effectiveness ratio to satisfy the purchasing desire of still undecided buyers. EMTech RTX 4070 Ti SUPER presented excellent marketability which can be said to potential users who have not purchased the RTX 40 series so far and were waiting for the optimal model to say “Jonber wins”.
