The MSRPs
Using the average frame rate data presented earlier in the review, here we look at the cost per frame using the UK MSRP launch prices for each GPU.
As for overall value then, the cost per frame data at 1440p, based on MSRP pricing, comes in at £5.71, and that makes it very similar to the RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX. It's still not a step forward from the previous generation, but it's a significant improvement of about 23% compared to the RTX 4080.
Up at 4K, we see a similar story, though due to the 4070 Ti's weaker performance at this resolution, it's now a 19% improvement in cost per frame compared to the RTX 4080, but does come in slightly more expensive per frame than the likes of the RTX 3080 10GB.
Current retail pricing
Current retail pricing does tell a different story however, and there's not much difference between the 4070 Ti and the RX 6800 which sits at the top of the chart. The value proposition is basically the same as the RTX 3080, but an 18% improvement over the RTX 4080.
Likewise, at 4K, cost per frame matches the RTX 3080 – after all, the 4070 Ti is 14% faster than the RTX 3080 10GB, but 14% more expensive based on current pricing, so there's no real progression there in terms of value for money. It is, at least, better than any other 40-series card so far, and is within 4% of the RX 7900 XT.
