It's only been three weeks since we checked out Gigabyte's RTX 4070 Super Aero OC, but today we have the RTX 4070 Ti Super model in for review. Featuring an eye-catching white and silver design, this card also sports a dual-BIOS switch, alongside a factory overclocked core and some subtle RGB lighting. We put it through its paces and find out if it's worth buying.
If you're in the market for a new white graphics card, you likely have your eye on a number of Gigabyte's Aero models, and the RTX 4070 Ti Super Aero OC in for review today is certainly a looker. You do pay for the privilege, as we've seen it online anywhere from £850 to £920, but it offers a number of attractive features on top of its gaming performance. We test thermals, acoustics, overclocking and more to find out just how good this card is…

First, a quick spec recap. Unlike the RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4070 Super which are based on AD104 silicon, the new 4070 Ti Super uses a cut-down AD103 die, measuring 379mm2. The fundamental building blocks are still the same of course, with the RTX 4070 Ti Super offering a total of 66 Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs), each housing 256 CUDA Cores, for a total of 8448. We also find 66 RT cores, 264 Tensor cores, 264 Texture Units, and 96 ROPs.
TSMC's N4 node has Nvidia cranking up the clock speed significantly this generation, with the RTX 4070 Ti Super sporting the same 2610MHz rated boost clock as the 4070 Ti. Gigabyte has increased this to 2655MHz with the Aero OC, but we would expect GPU Boost to push things further still.
The memory configuration is arguably the biggest upgrade over the other xx70 series SKUs. Moving to AD103 means the 4070 Ti Super comes equipped with a 256-bit memory interface, paired with 16GB GDDR6X running at 21Gbps, putting total memory bandwidth at 672 GB/s. L2 cache remains the same as the RTX 4070 Ti, with 49152KB.
Considering the increased core-count, it's interesting that power draw remains the same as the RTX 4070 Ti, with the new Super model still boasting a 285W TGP, and Gigabyte has not increased this out of the box.
