Frustratingly, nevertheless, the MSI pattern that was despatched to us (and different tech websites) had a technical difficulty, being barely any faster than a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, and even slower in some benchmarks. We don’t wish to share inaccurate information about this GPU with you, so we received’t be publishing a evaluation till we’ve been in a position to take a look at one other pattern.

To be clear, there’s nonetheless each likelihood that the Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Tremendous could possibly be among the many best graphics card choices to your system. We’ll be capable of provide you with PCGamesN’s verdict sooner or later, as soon as we obtain and take a look at an alternate pattern. Within the meantime, let’s break down the issue and what you need to know when you plan on shopping for this GPU.

For our GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Tremendous evaluation, Nvidia offered PCGamesN with an MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Tremendous 16G Ventus 3X pattern. Sadly, there have been points referring to its vBIOS that would not be resolved in time for us to benchmark forward of embargo, regardless of one of the best efforts of MSI. These points have now been addressed, nevertheless, and the replace might be out there at launch.

In a press release given to PCGamesN, simply shy of two hours earlier than the embargo, MSI mentioned it had “found there have been additional areas the place the efficiency of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Tremendous Ventus 3X graphics playing cards could possibly be improved.”

“Now we have launched a brand new BIOS designed to raise the general efficiency of the graphics card to be in keeping with our expectations. We encourage you to replace your pattern with the hooked up BIOS.”

“We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this will have triggered and categorical our gratitude to your understanding and assist.”

In line with Nvidia, the graphics card’s efficiency was “roughly 5% beneath anticipated figures on different RTX 4070 Ti Tremendous SKUs” as of January 21. This assertion aligns with nearly all of our testing, however this did differ throughout video games, with some exhibiting little to no efficiency improve. Whereas 5% doesn’t sound like a lot, this accounts for half of the anticipated 10% common enchancment versus the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti.

Given the circumstances – and the truth that Nvidia believes this difficulty solely impacts the MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Tremendous 16G Ventus 3X – we don’t imagine sharing body price information utilizing this explicit mannequin is beneficial for anybody.
