Introduction

Galax GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER EX White is an interesting custom design for NVIDIA’s new RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. Part of a three SKU mid lifecycle refresh of the RTX 40-series Ada generation, the new GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super is recommended by NVIDIA for 1440p gaming with maxed out settings, including ray tracing. There’s more performance on offer than the RTX 4070 SUPER, which means you should be able to pair this card with a high refresh-rate monitor in the 120 Hz to 165 Hz range, which are getting increasingly affordable these days; and take advantage of features such as G-SYNC to smoothen things out. The Galax EX White presents gamers with a nearly all-white color scheme to go with the white color scheme that you find nearly all kinds of hardware in, such as cases, PSUs, motherboards, and CPU coolers. The card features a white cooler shroud and backplate; the PCB underneath, although black, is mostly out of sight. There’s even a touch of RGB lighting. Best of all, Galax is selling the RTX 4070 Ti Super EX Gamer White at the NVIDIA MSRP of $800.

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER gets a massive specs upgrade over the original RTX 4070 Ti, which it replaces at its $800 price point. The elephant in the room is the 16 GB of memory, across a wider 256-bit memory interface, compared to 12 GB across 192-bit for the RTX 4070 Ti. Since NVIDIA had maxed out the AD104 silicon to create the RTX 4070 Ti, the company switched to the larger AD103 chip that powers the desktop RTX 4080 series and mobile RTX 4090 series. The new RTX 4070 Ti SUPER gets a 10% increase in shaders, besides the memory upgrade, over the RTX 4070 Ti.

The SUPER moniker only denotes more performance for the money, not new features. This is still NVIDIA’s Ada Lovelace graphics architecture under the hood, driving the 3rd generation of NVIDIA’s path-breaking RTX gaming technology that now spans over 500 games and applications in various shapes or forms. The new Ada CUDA core, besides generational IPC gains, now supports shader execution reordering, which speeds up ray tracing workloads. The new 3rd generation RT core improves ray intersection performance, as well as introduces support for displaced micro-meshes, a feature that should increase the geometric complexity of ray traced objects. The new optical flow accelerator is what lets the GPU draw entire alternate frames purely using AI, which is basically how DLSS 3 Frame Generation works.

NVIDIA carved the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER out of the 5 nm AD103 silicon by enabling 66 out of 80 streaming multiprocessors, giving it 8,448 CUDA cores, 264 Tensor cores, 66 RT cores, and 264 TMUs. The company also enabled 96 out of the 112 ROPs present; and 48 MB out of the 64 MB of L2 cache present. The GPU runs at a reference speed of 2610 MHz boost, and the memory at 21 Gbps, which is the same speed as the RTX 4070, albeit over a wider 256-bit memory bus, yielding 672 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which is 33% higher than that of the RTX 4070.

As we mentioned, the Galax RTX 4070 Ti SUPER EX White comes in at $800, NVIDIA’s baseline price for this SKU. The RTX 4070 Ti is officially retired from the product stack—it’s no longer in production. You might still find it in the market at slightly lower prices.
