Gameplay Performance at 4K
On this page, we are going to focus on the 4K gameplay performance with the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC video card. We will test 1440p gameplay performance on another page. We will include DLSS and FSR performance on the same graph in the games that are supported. We will use DLSS on NVIDIA GPUs and FSR on AMD GPUs. Ray Tracing performance will be shown on a separate page. For video card comparisons we are using a GeForce RTX 3090 Ti FE, GeForce RTX 3090 FE, GeForce RTX 3070 Ti FE, and Radeon RX 7900 XT.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.0
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.0 was released on October 27, 2022, on the PC and uses the IW 9.0 gaming engine. The game supports all upscaling methods, including NVIDIA DLSS, NVIDIA Image Scaling, AMD FSR 1.0, AMD Fidelity FX CAS, and Intel XeSS. We use the highest quality option of each. We customize every graphics setting to the maximum value for the best image quality and enable everything. We use the built-in benchmark.
In Call of Duty Modern Warfare II the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC is playable at 4K and the highest in-game settings. It allows 80FPS at 4K, which is very playable in this game. In this game, the ASUS TUF RTX 4070 Ti OC is 5% faster than the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti and 19% faster than the GeForce RTX 3090. It provides a 63% performance uplift from the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti if you are planning an upgrade. The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT is faster than the ASUS TUF RTX 4070 Ti OC by 28% in this game.
Overclocking the ASUS TUF RTX 4070 Ti OC improves performance by 5%, which doesn’t change the video card positioning. DLSS also adds 35% to performance, allowing for over 100FPS at 4K. This doesn’t change the card positioning.
F1 2022
F1 2022 was released on June 28th, 2022 on the PC and uses Codemasters Ego engine. The game supports Ray Tracing, DLSS, AMD FidelityFX, and FSR. We are going to run the game with the highest quality settings of “Ultra High” and TAA+FidelityFX. We will enable DLSS and FSR as needed at the Quality setting for both. We will utilize the built-in benchmark in the Imola track, in dry conditions with a far-chasing cam.
In F1 2022 the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is playable at 4K with maximum settings. It allows 127FPS, providing a smooth experience of well over 100FPS at max settings at 4K. In this game, however, it sits in-between the GeForce RTX 3090 and GeForce RTX 3090 Ti in performance, actually closer to GeForce RTX 3090 performance this time. It is 3% faster than the GeForce RTX 3090, but 10% slower than the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti. Compared to the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti it offers a 41% performance uplift. The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT is faster than the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC by 18%.
Overclocking the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC improves performance by only 2% in this game. It does not change the cards positioning. DLSS does add performance in this game, by 29%. It allows for performance at smooth 160FPS, so 140Hz gamers can really enjoy this game at 4K. With DLSS performance is right on par with the GeForce RTX 3090.
Dying Light 2
Dying Light 2 was released in February 2022 on the PC and uses Techland’s C-Engine. The game supports Ray Tracing, DLSS, and FSR2. We use the built-in preset to set “HIGH QUALITY” which sets the highest game graphics, without Ray Tracing. We manually enable DX12 and ASYNC Compute. We use the built-in benchmark.
In Dying Light 2 the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC allows a playable gameplay experience at 4K and the highest game settings, sans Ray Tracing. It can push 75FPS average, so gameplay is smooth above 60FPS at 4K in this game with this video card. However, the scaling doesn’t look as good as the two above games, as we actually find its performance sits below the GeForce RTX 3090. The ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC is 3% slower than the RTX 3090 and 14% slower than the RTX 3090 Ti. In fact, the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT is actually faster by 5% in this game, a game where NVIDIA usually has a larger advantage. Compared to the RTX 3070 Ti the 4070 Ti allows a 38% uplift.
Overclocking really helps the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC in this game, improving performance by 8%. This 8% improvement changes the positioning of the video card, it is now faster than the RX 7900 XT by 3%. However, even overclocked it is still 7% slower than the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti. DLSS does add performance to this game, it improves performance by 55% taking it to over 100FPS at 4K. This puts it on par with RX 7900 XT performance with FSR2. When overclocked, it is on par with the RTX 3090 Ti with DLSS.
Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 was released in December of 2020 and uses the REDengine 4. We have the game patched to version 1.61 and utilize the built-in benchmark. We test using the Graphics Preset option to set graphics settings, mainly “Ultra”. This game supports DLSS and FSR2.
In Cyberpunk 2077 the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC is not playable at 4K and “Ultra” settings, it can push barely 50FPS average, and the game isn’t playable as the minimums are much lower. We also find that the performance is barely better than the GeForce RTX 3090, it’s about on par with it performance-wise. It is 11% slower than the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti. Compared to the RTX 3070 Ti it offers a 44% performance uplift. We find the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT is playable in this game, at these settings, and is 17% faster. Again, this game typically does well on NVIDIA GPUs, but at 4K this video card is dropping the ball in this game, just like Dying Light 2.
Overclocking the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC improves performance by 7%, but it isn’t enough to make the game playable and doesn’t change the positioning. DLSS is the answer to allowing this game to be playable at 4K, as it improves performance by 13%. With DLSS, the game felt smooth and playable at 4K. When you overclock it with DLSS you can exceed 60FPS at 4K at “Ultra” settings.
Watch Dogs Legion
Watch Dogs Legion was released on the PC in October of 2020 and uses the Disrupt game engine. We utilize the built-in benchmark for testing. We have the HD Texture pack installed and enabled for testing. We use the built-in graphics preset of “Ultra” for testing. This game supports DLSS upscaling.
In Watch Dogs Legion at 4K and “Ultra” settings the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC is playable, pushing 68FPS this game is super smooth and enjoyable at 4K. In this game, the ASUS TUF RTX 4070 Ti OC is actually a little bit slower than the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti and 6% faster than the GeForce RTX 3090. It offers 58% better performance over the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT is the fastest video card in this lineup at 4K and is 21% faster than the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC. In this game, we can enable DLSS on the ASUS TUF RTX 4070 Ti OC which improves performance by 49%. Overclocking improves performance by 9%.
