4K Gameplay Performance
Now we will look at 4K performance. We will include Ray Tracing and DLSS under each game, as needed.
Cyberpunk 2077
In Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K, performance drops quite a bit for these video cards, without DLSS. Overclocking the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti FE has improved performance by 7%, but the performance is still unplayable ultimately. This overclock makes the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti FE match performance with the AMD Radeon RX 6800. It is 15% faster than the GeForce RTX 3070 FE. Ultimately, you need to enable DLSS to make 4K playable, which does work.
Dirt 5
In Dirt 5, this game is very playable at 4K. Overclocking the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti FE has improved performance by 7%. It’s 8% faster than the Radeon RX 6800, whereas before they were equal in performance.
Turning on Ray Tracing is also playable in Dirt 5. The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti FE is on par with the Radeon RX 6800, until we overclock it. Overclocking has improved performance by 8% and it is now just over the Radeon RX 6800.
Watch Dogs Legion
Overclocking the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti FE has improved performance by 7%. This pushed it just over the Radeon RX 6800, whereas before it was under. This also makes it 18% faster than the GeForce RTX 3070 FE. The game isn’t playable though, but turn on DLSS and it will be playable at 4K.
Horizon Zero Dawn
Horizon Zero Dawn is playable at 4K. Overclocking the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti FE has improved performance by 7%. This makes it 17% faster than the GeForce RTX 3070 FE, which is quite a bit of a difference. It’s within 10% of the GeForce RTX 3080 FE.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
Now we can see where overclocking helps the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti FE in MS Flight Sim, at 4K. Overclocking it has improved performance by 11%. This actually helps make the game feel much smoother. Overclocked, it’s 12% faster than the GeForce RTX 3070 FE.
Red Dead Redemption 2
In Red Dead Redemption 2, at 4K, the game performance improves by 8% when we overclock the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti FE. This makes it perform faster than the Radeon RX 6800 by 4%. It’s 16% faster than the GeForce RTX 3070 FE, which is quite a bit.
Wolfenstein Youngblood
Wolfenstein Youngblood is playable at 4K without DLSS. Overclocking the video card has improved performance by 8%. This makes it faster than the Radeon RX 6800 by 16% and also faster than the RTX 3070 FE by 16%.
