3070ti test9/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() These features don’t sound terribly exciting when described in words – but, trust me when I say, once you experience ray tracing you’ll struggle to go back. ![]() DLSS is a complementary technology that uses AI wizardry to let the GPU predict, and prepare, what it needs to do next, thus mitigating the effect ray tracing has on frame rates. The only downside is that it’s super-demanding – so, in my experience, turning it on will see frame rates nose-dive. Ray tracing is a demanding new technology that lets GPUs render near-photorealistic lighting effects, including real-time shadows and reflections. An early example of ray tracing provided by Nvidia ![]() The tech brings with it next-generation ray tracing and DLSS technologies, plus a load of cool extras such as Nvidia’s Reflex low latency tech. We’ve detailed the positives of Ampere before, but in short, it’s one of the biggest generational leaps we’ve seen in consumer GPU architectures since Nvidia’s 10-series Pascal cards hit the scene many moons ago. Under the hood, the RTX 3070 Ti also runs the same Ampere architecture as the other cards.

The latter is important: this is the port you’ll need to play games in 4K at 120Hz. Round the back you’ll also find an identical port setup featuring three display ports and a single HDMI 2.1 input. It also uses the same proprietary 12-pin PCIe connector, which means most builders will need to connect it to their PSU (power supply) using an included adapter. The reference design aims to improve thermals by placing the fans on either side of the heatsink, improving airflow and cooling as a result. It has the same “flow through” cooling system as the RTX 3080, 3080 Ti and 3090, featuring fans positioned at the top and bottom sides of the card on opposing edges. Physically, the Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti is near-identical to all the other middle to top-end 30-series graphics cards I’ve tested.
