These are the top RTX 4070 Ti graphics card options currently available.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the cheapest current-gen ‘Ada Lovelace’ GPU on the market right now. And while it might not be the absolute best graphics card of the current generation, it’s still a high-end card, which makes its somewhat lower price—at least when compared to options like the RTX 4090 and 4080 Super—very alluring.
It faces strong competition from the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT and 7900 XTX, but for those on a tighter budget, a 4070 Ti might be the better choice. Perfect for 1440p gaming but also very capable at 4K resolution, this GPU offers superb rasterization, ray tracing, and upscaling performance.
There are many third-party AIB models to choose between, though. In fact, NVIDIA hasn’t released a Founders Edition (FE) 4070 Ti, so these AIB models are all we have.
There are some great RTX 4070 Ti choices from several manufacturers. In this guide, we’ve narrowed down the list to just some of the very best RTX 4070 Ti options for different use cases.
Quick Answer:
- The ASUS TUF Gaming OC RTX 4070 Ti offers the best value
- MSI’s Suprim X is the best 4070 Ti for overclocking
- The ASUS ROG Strix 4070 Ti is the most powerful option
- Gigabyte’s Gaming OC card is the coolest running 4070 Ti

1. ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 4070 Ti OC
Cheapest RTX 4070 Ti
The cheapest RTX 4070 Ti on the market right now is the ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 4070 Ti OC. Currently retailing for about $730, this 4070 Ti is currently $50-150 cheaper than most of its competitors.
Despite its lower pricetag, the TUF Gaming 4070 Ti OC ships with a competitive boost clock of 2,730MHz—just ~30-40MHz lower than the MSI Suprim X and ASUS’ ROG Strix cards listed below —giving it great out-of-the-box gaming performance.
On top of this, its VRM is decent (but not spectacular) with a total max current of 550A, and it’s capable of some hefty overclocking, providing you don’t mind implementing an aggressive fan profile. TechPowerUp, for example, got it running at 3,085MHz, which is about the same as the overclocks they achieved on the more expensive 4070 Ti models.
Other 4070 Ti options out there have higher boost clocks and run a little quieter than the TUF Gaming OC 4070 Ti, but considering the TUF Gaming OC’s lower price, it’s a great deal with little downside.
2. MSI RTX 4070 Ti Suprim X
Best RTX 4070 Ti for Overclocking
MSI’s GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Suprim X is probably the best RTX 4070 Ti for overclocking.
MSI Suprim X cards are fan favorites of this Ada Lovelace generation, and for good reason. While who wins a pure ‘best overclocking’ award is a toss-up between this card and the ASUS ROG Strix 4070 Ti (because both have similar max power limits and so on), the MSI card has some benefits over the Strix.
First, it’s significantly cheaper than the Strix. The Suprim X 4070 Ti is currently going for about ~$750, while the Strix OC is going for about $950. Second, it runs extremely quiet; in fact, it’s likely the quietest 4070 Ti on the market, sitting just above 25dB while gaming on its normal BIOS. Finally (and, okay, this is just one man’s opinion) it’s gorgeous.
Key to the Suprim X’s overclocking success is its 365W (+28%) max power limit, which allows you to crank the dial up and squeeze every last drop of performance out of the GPU. Its 12x 55A (660A max current) VRM handles this just fine, and its gigantic (four-slot!) cooler keeps temperatures low enough despite any overclocks.
Of course, it ships with a hefty stock overclock, too—2,775MHz, to be exact, which is the highest on this list. If this card is within your budget, it’s probably the best 4070 Ti option currently available. On the other hand, if you’re not into overclocking and you want to save some money, you’ll achieve similar frame rates if you opt for the ASUS TUF Gaming instead.
3. ASUS ROG Strix RTX 4070 Ti OC
Most Powerful RTX 4070 Ti
Unsurprisingly, the ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC is on this list. ROG Strix GPUs are frequently the most powerful models of NVIDIA 40-series GPUs, and it’s no different with the 4070 Ti. The ROG Strix 4070 Ti OC (2760MHz) comes close to matching the MSI Suprim X’s boost clock of 2,775MHz.
Besides having a stellar factory OC, this card is also a great manual overclocker. Multiple online tests show that it matches the Suprim X in its overclocking potential, no doubt thanks to its identical +28% max power limit.
While the Suprim X is better value purely for overclocking thanks to its lower price, the ROG Strix 4070 Ti OC gives it a good run for its money. And if you’re a fan of flashy RGB aesthetics and an over-the-top build, it should serve you better than the Suprim X on that front.
There is a price for this no-compromise performance, though. The ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC is currently going for about $950, which, while $150 cheaper than the RTX 4080 at MSRP, places it in the price range of the more powerful AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX. And, at that price it just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
Still we’ll include it on this list, because if the price were to drop down to a realistic range for an RTX 4070 Ti, it would definitely be worth considering.
4. Gigabyte RTX 4070 Ti Gaming OC
Coolest RTX 4070 Ti
Considering there are some great coolers on this list (I’m looking at you, MSI Suprim X), seeing Gigabyte’s Gaming OC RTX 4070 Ti win this award is a bit surprising.
But we can’t argue with real-world data, and TechPowerUp found that Gigabyte’s 4070 Ti Gaming OC stayed cooler than any other RTX 4070 Ti they tested—including the MSI Suprim X. In fact, it was the only card they tested that averaged below 60c.
Now, temperatures aren’t the be-all and end-all for graphics cards—far from it, considering modern GPUs can handle temperatures well above 60c without losing longevity. But low temperatures can impact overclocking potential, and we see this borne out with the Gigabyte 4070 Ti Gaming OC.
This card overclocks exceptionally well, thanks to its low temps and its 340W (+19%) max power limit. It doesn’t quite hit MSI Suprim X or ASUS ROG Strix clock speeds, though, and it’s currently more expensive than the MSI Suprim X, making it a tough recommendation.
Ultimately, though, even if low temps aren’t necessary and you don’t care about overclocking, having your GPU stay cool just feels good, and if that’s very important to you, then the Gigabyte RTX 4070 Ti Gaming OC is a solid option.
RTX 4070 Ti Alternatives
The closest comp to the RTX 4070 Ti is the RX 7900 XT. The 7900 XT will offer a small performance boost on average for about the same price. However, the RTX 4070 Ti will offer superior raytracing performance.
If you’re willing to stretch your budget, the RTX 4070 Ti Super, RX 7900 XTX, and RTX 4080 Super are the next tier up.
And, if you want to save some money, options like the RTX 4070, RTX 4070 Super, and RX 7800 XT are excellent options that will still offer great performance at both 1080P and 1440P resolutions.
