Using the graphics card-only power draw figures presented earlier in the review, here we present performance per Watt on a per-game basis for all twelve games we tested at 1080p.

12-Game Average at 1080p:

The low power draw figures coupled with the performance improvements on offer over the vanilla RTX 4070 does make the 4070 Super that bit more efficient, second only to the RTX 4080 in our chart.

Ray tracing results

As a bonus, we now include the power figures for all six games we test with ray tracing enabled.

8-Game ray tracing average:

The same goes when looking at the ray tracing-specific games, this time AMD drops off significantly due to its weaker RT performance.
