3070 Ti Review and Benchmark

Benchmarks

No changes were made to the 3070 Ti, as we want to provide the most out-of-the-box performance for these benchmarks.  All games were set to their highest graphical settings. However, we did disable motion blur wherever possible.  MSI Afterburner was used as our performance monitoring tool when going through in-game benchmarks.  DLSS was not used for any games.

Let’s start with one of my favorite games, Hitman 2!  We can see we are reaching a CPU Bottleneck in both 1080p and 1440p, getting to about 130FPS, which is similar to our 3080 Ti Review and Benchmark.  The CPU Bottleneck releases at 4K gaming, but it still maintains above 60FPS for those 4K 60Hz monitors.  

Frametimes are as follow, 1080p; 7.45ms | 1440p; 7.64ms | 4K; 13.19ms

The 3070 Ti can handle one of our less demanding games, Civilization VI, even at 4K.  Pushing almost 190FPS in 4K, which in our opinion, is more than you will ever need in a turn-based game like Civilization VI. We are seeing a consistent 1% low across all resolutions, but this can be attributed to the 60FPS cap in menus as the benchmark ends. 

Frametimes are as follow, 1080p; 5.31ms | 1440p; 5.31ms | 4K; 5.28ms

Our most demanding game when set at max settings, Borderland 3, put the 3070 Ti to the test.  While not the greatest performance we’ve ever seen, it still held up pretty well to one of the toughest benchmarks we have. It’s definitely more than playable at all resolutions!

Frametimes are as follow, 1080p; 8.23ms | 1440p; 11.15ms | 4K; 19.65ms

Pretty high FPS counts for F1 2020.  The 3070 Ti performed wonderfully, hitting all significant points of monitors when it comes to average framerate, even the 4K 60FPS section, with the 1% low being above 60FPS.  1% lows on 1440p and 1080p were lower than I expected, but they are in line with how the 3080 Ti benched as well.  

Frametimes are as follow, 1080p; 4.47ms | 1440p; 5.03ms | 4K; 7.27ms

Horizon Zero Dawn: the other demanding game in our benchmarking gauntlet. The 3070 Ti definitely put in work here.  Similar to our Borderlands 3 benchmark, the 3070 Ti isn’t perfect, but it is more than playable at max settings.  We may be some frames shy for 1080/1440p 144Hz monitors, but we are set up for 4K 60Hz for sure.   

Frametimes are as follow, 1080p; 7.49ms | 1440p; 8.80ms | 4K; 11.06ms

Next up, our esports title, Rainbow 6 Siege!  Our least demanding game, as it is an esports title, designed to play on as many computers as possible.  We see close to 400FPS at 1080p and high FPS at both 1440p and 4K.  If you genuinely want the edge in your esports games, pair this card with 1080p 300+Hz monitors.  

Frametimes are as follow, 1080p; 2.53ms | 1440p; 4.82ms | 4K; 4.82ms
