Test Setup
Please read the information on our GPU testing procedures and methodology here. Note that our GPU Testing Bench has been upgraded to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU and AM5 platform.
Note that we have the 1807 BIOS installed, which uses AGESA version Combo AM5 PI 1.1.0.1. We are using the motherboard’s current default BIOS settings on the latest release BIOS. We have enabled PCI-Express Resizable BAR in the motherboard BIOS. This means we are utilizing Resizable BAR on NVIDIA GPUs and AMD Smart Access Memory on AMD GPUs in all our testing. We have enabled EXPO I in the BIOS for the memory.
We are using a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro with the latest Windows Updates, including the 23H2 Fall 2023 update. We have the latest drivers installed including the latest chipset drivers from AMD. We are using the “Balanced” power profile in Windows Settings. Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling is ENABLED in Windows. VBS is DISABLED and Game Mode is ENABLED.
For the MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16G GAMING X TRIO WHITE SUPER we are using NVIDIA-supplied drivers for it to work, which are GeForce 551.15. For our comparison card, we are using an MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti GAMING SLIM because this video card operates at NVIDIA reference RTX 4070 Ti clock speeds, and therefore we can get a clear picture of the performance advantage with the new GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. For that video card, we are using previous testing from our full review on it, which uses the latest officially released driver available right now, GeForce 546.33.
For our comparison video card, the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT at $899 launch MSRP is the only video card that makes sense to compare with. Currently, at the time of this launch, AMD is offering a special promotional pricing program for select etailers and retailers this quarter for the Radeon RX 7900 XT that brings it down to $749, we will have to see if that price remains, over time.

Just noticed that there are 12 cards that perform similar to the RX6600XT with only + - 10 fps in it. That's one heck of a window when looking for a best value 2nd hand card. [IMG alt=":)"]https://forums.guru3d.com/styles/default/xenforo/clear.png[/IMG]
But not so good is what hardware features you need form one of those cards:(
