Power Draw, Temperature and Clock Speed Analysis
Given that most cards will boost all the way to their highest potential, the numbers we see here should be a good indicator of what to expect from these cards in general. Results are captured via inline power metering instruments primarily Powenetics v2 by Cybenetics/Hardware Busters for accurate card-only data capture. Occassionally, we use PCAT v2 (or v1) for FrameView-related functionalities. Powenetics v2 is the modern iteration of our original Powenetics system licensed from Cybenetics Labs and allows more thorough read-outs for the entire system including the CPU power, GPU power (+PCIe slot) and the system power overall. This removes the guess work from taking power readings from differing GPU APIs and provides consistent readings regardless of vendors.

It’s kinda embarrassing how close the 4070 Super is to this, or sometimes even beats it by a couple FPS. Wonder if they’ll address that in future drivers
It’s really more of a marketing strategy besides anything else. NV has the memory and silicon surplus to spare and they need to make their GPU look newer for average buyers, moms and dads etc. Overall, performance still gets an uplift and anything largely dependent on texture buffer will really see it perform better. We’d definitely get more performance if they unlocked the damn voltages haha
Also they fixed TLOU Part 1 a lot since launch – VRAM usage at 1440p doesn’t exceed 9.3GB for me with all settings maxed out
13%-15% performance gain from 4070 Super. 1k pesos increase sa price diff for each % lol (36k cheapest 4070 super, 49k cheapest 4070 Ti Super)
