**Testing Nvidia's Latest GPU Offerings: A Performance Comparison**

As we dive into the world of graphics cards, it's essential to evaluate the latest offerings from Nvidia. In this article, we'll be testing two different systems built around their latest GPUs, including the 4070 TI Super, 4080 Super, and 480 Super. Our goal is to determine which system provides the best performance at 1440p and identify any notable differences between these high-end GPUs.

**System 1: The $3000 480 Build**

We began by testing a top-of-the-line system built around the 480 Super GPU. This system was designed to provide the most extreme performance possible, with a budget of $3,000. We'll be comparing this system's performance to other builds in our test suite. For now, let's take a look at the details of this system. The 480 Super is a powerful GPU that offers impressive performance at high resolutions.

**System 2: The Low-End 470 Super Build**

Next, we tested a low-end system built around the 470 Super GPU. This system was designed to provide a more budget-friendly option for those looking to upgrade their graphics card without breaking the bank. With a budget of $1,500, this system is still capable of delivering impressive performance.

**System 3: The $225000 480 TI Super Build**

Finally, we tested an ultra-high-end system built around the 480 TI Super GPU. This system was designed to provide the absolute best performance possible, with a massive budget of $225,000. We'll be comparing this system's performance to other builds in our test suite.

**Testing and Results**

To ensure accurate results, we used a consistent testing setup for all systems. Our first test involved running Deathmatch on the Nuke map, which provided a good benchmarking experience. We also ran the Benchmark mode to evaluate each system's performance in a more controlled environment.

When it came to the 4070 TI Super vs 4080 Super, we noticed that there was only a small difference between them at 1440p. However, when compared to the 480 Super, the 4070 TI Super offered significantly better performance. We also tested the cheapest versus the most expensive system side by side using Cyberpunk 2077.

**The Importance of Software Ecosystem**

One aspect that sets Nvidia's GPUs apart from their competitors is the strong software ecosystem surrounding them. With features like DLSS, RAY tracing, and Frame Generation, these cards offer a level of performance and flexibility that's hard to match with other GPUs.

In our testing, we saw firsthand how these features can make a significant difference in performance. By using DLSS, we were able to push the 4070 TI Super up to frame rates that rivaled those of the more expensive 480 Super. Additionally, RAY tracing and Frame Generation provided excellent lighting effects that enhanced the overall visual fidelity.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, our testing has shown that Nvidia's latest GPU offerings offer impressive performance at high resolutions. The 4070 TI Super proved itself to be a formidable competitor in Deathmatch and Benchmark mode, while the 4080 Super offered slightly better performance. However, when compared to the more expensive 480 Super, the 4070 TI Super's performance was noticeably lower.

Looking forward, we're excited to see how Nvidia will continue to push the boundaries of GPU performance with future releases. With their strong software ecosystem and competitive pricing, Nvidia is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with in the world of graphics cards.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhen it comes to building a gaming PC it can be really tricky to know how much to spend and I get people ask me all the time whether you can really notice the difference between a $1,500 system and one that cost say2 or even $3,000 that's why today I'll be building three systems around three budgets to see whether spending more is really that noticeable and whether I can tell how expensive and how powerful each system is let's do this the premise of this video is quite simple I'm going to build three system systems around three different budgets $1,500 $2,000 and $3,000 each aims to be fairly representative of what you buy at that price point starting off with the $1,500 system and I've based this off a recent build but swapped the GPU out for an RTX 470 super this is one of the most popular mid-range cards right now it's also got an Intel Core i5 14400 F 32 GB of ddr4 memory and is built in corsair's fairly entry level but still decent 3000d my mid-range system coming in at $2,000 looks a piece nicer inside of fractal designs North case a hugely popular chassis but this time features an AMD ryzen 7700 and Nvidia GeForce RTX 470 TI super working up that GPU range by one notch the final system is built inside of corsair's sterning 6500 X and features the RTX 480 super arguably the most powerful GPU right now with the exception of course of the RTX 1490 massive shout out by the way it's G for sending all the cards out for these builds and making this video possible all of these systems are pretty primed for 1440p gaming which is where I'll be testing now before I jump into the games on these systems they are now built so let's take a look at them and analyze the visual differences between these three price points first of all the first system is this the Corsair 3000d based $1500 build you can see it's fairly basic we've got a simple deep cool cooler we've even got cheaper things like a more entry level power supply that doesn't have the gem 5 cable the graphics cards still looks nice this is the arrow design really like that with 32 gigs of ddr4 memory that older Dam definitely not quite as good for the future and an area we obviously want to improve as we spend that bit more money talking of spending a bit more money let's take a look at this now this is the $2,000 system I talked about massive graphics card like look at the size of this thing is ridiculous I obviously decided with this build that I was just going to go big on everything massive air cooler deep cool assassin instantly one thing I noticed this is so much quieter than the $1,500 build it looks nicer fans of better quality and of course we have a higher end motherboard this one's got a b650 gaming X ax with of course some overclocking Headroom we haven't got that on the other board and of course ddr5 memory which is going to be quicker and give us a bit more performance storage in this is also faster so General boot turn is going to be better and you can see how that General user experience is getting better as we go the lineup now $3,000 what do you get this is a lot of money to spend on a system and my word doesn't it look good Corsair 6500 case match perfectly to our 48 super GPU vram amounts of course growing up the lineup this has got 16 gigs alongside the $2,000 build the more entry level system only has 12 you can also see we've got budget here for nicer things like a Corsair IQ link cooler that looks amazing and of course unlike our other system a perfectly size BCI gem 5 power cable so evidently then as you spend a bit more you can definitely achieve a nicer looking build but it's frame rate that we really care about so I'm going to get editor Dan to plug in all these systems at random so I do not know which one I'm playing at to see if I can actually tell the difference between each of these three builds this could be quite embarrassing if I get this wrong but I'm actually really interested to see if you can tell and reliably guess which one's which the first system's plugged in let's call this system one I've got no idea which system it is jumping into Horizon forbidden West and we're running at 1440p very high settings everything tuned right up dlss and frame generation on I'm going to disable dlss as well shortly so we can see what impact that has and you can of course check out the frame rate up in the top right hand corner so we're at around about 194 FPS on average so far the frame rate genuinely feels buttery smooth and I feel like at 1440p I'm getting a really great gaming experience as I jump down into the water wow look at that looks really really fantastic also going to jump into those settings menus and disable frame generation and Nvidia dlss we can get a rasterization number and let's see what impact that has on the frame rate okay that's right down to sub 100 FPS now so we are seeing quite a sizable difference but still 90 FPS for what is an RPG game is more than adequate all in all though looks good and I'm intrigued as to which system this is next up is csgo 2 I want to try an FPS driven title before moving on to the next system so in video we're running at 1440p full screen and we've of course gone for the very high preset overall and I'm going to enable the FPS counter so we can always see what kind of results that we are getting so let's jump into a called Deathmatch game so we can see what kind of frame rates are achievable graphically looking very good I always forget how much better CS2 looks than the original CSG around about 330 FPS out the doors beautiful so a little bit of a drop there down to just below 300 FPS but still not too bad with all of our frame rate numbers staying really quite consistent throughout time for system number two system number two frame rate is sitting around the 126 127 Mark same settings 1440p high dlss and frame gen on and I'll turn dlss and frame gen off in a moment noticeably less frame rate than on the last system that makes me believe this could be our lower end 4070 super build even still though we're well at excess of that 60 FPS Mark we're even in those triple digit frame rates and the game again looks really quite nice all of our textures Reflections again looking pretty good that dlss is just giving us all the upside especially at that quality preset now let's just turn that dlss off and I know some of you prefer to play with it on some of you prefer to play with it off let's take the frame gen off first and then turn the upscale method to off as well and hit apply so turning those off our frame rate is unsurprisingly now a lot lower than it was we're down to 86 FPS on average a bit of a drop there on the graph down to 7475 that seems to be the more realistic level I think here graphically still looks good we're still in excess of that 60 FPS Mark but you can see here where we're arguably a lot more Reliant upon the likes of d SS to actually get the kind of frame rates we'd want so I'm going to guess early that this is going to be that cheaper $1,500 4070 system but it's still not a bad gaming experience and I could be wrong moving through then into CSO 2 our FPS title again 1440p Advanced video settings we're going to set these again to very high which is the same all of those changes have been saved let's see where we get to our frame rate now is sitting at 200 1889 so less again but if you don't look at that frame rate we're still getting a really smooth experience and this monitor only being 240 HZ means that we can't actually really take advantage too much of any frame rate over and beyond that 240 mark of course it helps because your frames are not always naturally going to be synced to the refresh rate and the frame refresh of your monitor but I wouldn't say this feels particularly any less competitive than last time around I'm think I'm going to hold off on my assumption that this could be the lower end 4070 system frame rate down to 220 but I guess the final system is going to really be the major Moment of Truth moving through into system number three and straight off the bat we're looking pretty strong nearly 200 FPS down to 170 180 this to me feels like it could be the 47 DTI super based system the system we looked at last definitely felt like it had a bit of a performance lag compared to system number one but this I have to say feels pretty good now again this is with dlss and frame generation enabled it looks great just for fairness sake let's go into those display settings and then go down to dlss turn frame gen off and turn dlss off as well and then hit apply now that is obviously going to Dent the frame rate down to 102 104 FPS still though looks pretty great in my opinion and you can see from that FPS graph that the frame rate is fairly consistent we're not dropping far below 108 107 FPS with a Max peak of about 120 give or take so into CS2 for the final time 1440p let's go into full screen mode just that everything's exactly the same and then in the advanced video settings we're going to go onto that very high preset wait for it to do its thing beautiful play practice Deathmatch the same nuke map here we go just for memory sake the first system was about 300 FPS the last was about 200ish 250 now at 308 292 so yeah again this backs up my theory using the frame rate that I think this is going to be that 4070 TI based system but I have to say it surprised me between if I am right the 470 TI super and 480 super how little discernable difference that actually is when it comes to day-to-day gameplay especially now that Nvidia have built up the vram amount to 16 GB on that 4070 TI super this title does of course support in video reflex as well which is great for busting some of those reaction times and allowing you again to just push that performance that bit further and give you that better Competitive Edge and as much as gigabyte and Nvidia sent the cards out for this video I do think that's a genuine honest advantage that you get when it comes to Nvidia gpus that software ecosystem surrounding the cards now is just so solid whether it be dlss raate tracing frame generation Nvidia reflex there's lots and lots of features that some people will feel like they do not want to go without when they're shopping and of course deciding what their next graphics card should be for some reason I seem to be in this game on my own where are where is everybody oh they they're all here what are they all what they what are they all doing in here you can see why a bot game is not ideal but I just needed a scenario that was going to have identical test conditions just to make this thing absolutely as Fair as possible so I'm going to look in my guesses I think the first system was maybe the top end $3,000 480 build the second was our definitely low-end 470 super $1,500 build and this was the2 to $225,000 470 TI super build editor Dan am I right close I'm not right not right I've got it wrong system one is the 4070 TI super system 2 is the 4070 super and this was the 48 wow okay I mean that just shows how especially at 1440p remember that 4080 super is going to give you a more discernable Advantage at 4K the difference can look really close now there is one more thing I want to do and that is to compare the cheapest versus the most expensive system side by side now for this I'm going to use cyberpunk because we can crank ra tracing up dlss on and I get a great excuse to use this unbelievable 5K super ultra wide Aus monitor so these are two 1440p feeds showing at 2560 x440 simultaneously unbelievable right I'm going to run the Benchmark first here are the settings that I'm using with two mice dlss is on quality we've got frame generation off R Trace lighting let's pop that up to the let's go Ultra preset I think that's probably around about where we'd be running normally and there's a quick swiz on all the rest of the settings and then just hit apply all that there remains is to hit B on the keyboard and we are of course going to run the Benchmark mode so here we go run the two benchmarks hopefully they're fairly in sync and you can see the frame rate in the top right of one and top left of another here we go so they're slightly out of sync but it's good enough for me you can see there's about a 30 40 FPS upside on our system on the right obviously all those Ray Trace light Reflections are really good in cyberpunk you can see here's a prime example the right feed definitely feels a bit more fluid I'm definitely seeing the advantage of the extra 40 FPS we see in a 25 30% uplift but I have to say both look really good what do you think I'll leave links to all the parts mentioned today this unbelievable 49 in super ultra wide down in the description below which system do you think you would buy on the B basis of performance and pricing let me know thanks for watching get subscribe to see more from us and as always we'll see you in the next onewhen it comes to building a gaming PC it can be really tricky to know how much to spend and I get people ask
