Just yesterday we published a new analysis of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, the new NVIDIA graphics card based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, which brings important new features, among which the performance increase, which is on average around 14.98% compared to the standard model and without increasing the maximum TGP value in return. This means that we can power the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER with the same power source that we would use for the standard model.

That NVIDIA was able to maintain the same maximum TGP with the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is something worth noting because it ultimately means increasing performance without increasing consumption. More power for the same watts, something that, as I said at the time, again shows how well tuned Ada Lovelace’s architecture is and what a big improvement in efficiency it represents compared to the GeForce RTX 30 series.

In terms of performance, we’re looking at a graphics card that excels at 1080p and 1440p, and that also offers very good performance at 2160p. Thanks to 16 GB of graphics memory and full ecosystem support, it is ready to work with ray tracing even at high resolutions without any problems. NVIDIA DLSS 3.5which includes super resolution, image generation and ray reconstruction.

You need a 600 watt power supply to power the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER

That would be it recommended minimum level for a normal and balanced configuration, i.e. one that contains a mid-range processor without very high consumption. Keep in mind that we must always opt for a source that has a minimum quality and is able to offer a current according to the needs of each graphics card.

I will give you a specific example to understand it better. Computer with Ryzen 5 7600X configuration, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER with 2665 MHz GPU, 32 GB DDR5, M.2 PCIe SSD, six 120 mm fans and 360 mm AIO liquid cooling kit The load consumption would be 520 watts, which means we would have more than enough room with a 600 watt power supply.

However, if we replace the processor with an Intel Core i9-13900K while maintaining the remaining components consumption would rise to 669 wattswhich means that we would lack a 600 watt source and we would need min 750W model with 53A on the 12V bar.

In this case, the power supply EVGA 600 W2 600 Watt It would be an interesting and very economical option, especially now that it is discounted to 54.29 euros. It has all the power and current we need (49A on a 12V rail) to drive a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, and it also comes with two basic 6+2-pin PCIe connectors for a 16-pin adapter.

Processor, chassis space and other things to consider

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is a high-end graphics card, which means we’re looking at a very powerful model that it needs a processor at its height develop your full potential. It should also be taken into account that in most cases we will use it together with super-resolution DLSS, a technology that starts from lower resolution to intelligent rescaling and reconstruction in higher resolution. This will increase the importance of the CPU, obviously.

Starting with Ryzen 5 5600 or Intel Core i5-12400F, we would have a good level of performance, but for the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER to develop its full potential, we should not go below Ryzen 5 7600, Intel Core i5-12600K or equivalent. AND Ryzen 7 5800X3D It would also be one of the recommended processors to accompany this graphics card, as it performs on par with the Ryzen 5 7600 in games thanks to its additional L3 cache.

It is also important to note that the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER does not have a reference design, so we won’t find a standard size, it will vary depending on the versions and models of each assembler. However, in most models available today, they measure around 30 cm long and occupy three expansion slotsso it’s clear that you’ll need plenty of chassis space to mount this graphics card.
