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.

Given the 4070 Ti Super is both faster and £30 cheaper than the 4070 Ti's launch MSRP, we do see a 10% reduction in cost per frame for rasterised performance at 1440p. That's obviously a good improvement and doesn't necessarily factor in the extra longevity of the 16GB frame buffer, though it's also true that there are better value offerings out there, such as AMD's RX 7800 XT or the recently released RTX 4070 Super.

Current retail pricing

Based on current retail prices, the 4070 Ti Super doesn't look quite so competitive, with the RX 7900 XT out-performing it in raster performance while also retailing for £740, if not even less. Versus the 4070 Super, we're paying about 16% more per frame for the Ti Super, though – again – that doesn't take into account the extra longevity than the 16GB framebuffer may provide.
