Can the ASUS ProArt 4070Ti Super with 16 GB of VRAM do it all for multimedia/3D designers?
The ASUS ProArt RTX 4070 Ti Super isn’t the fastest. But in many uses it gets pretty close. It even matches the top-of-line 4090 in some tests. And yet the Ti Super is literally less than half the cost. Unquestionably a good proposition. Then the question becomes, whether to buy this Asus ProArt line card, or perhaps a sister card from their gaming GPU line. Having reviewed a number of the ProArt line, I can say the line has a nice quality to its build.
So in real-world terms, what started out as a single card offering, the 4070, has expanded to now be 4070, 4070 Super, 4070 Ti, and the 4070 Ti Super. The next most powerful GPU bumps us into the 4080 segment of this current lineup, as seen in the chart below:What we can quickly derive from a few minutes with this chart is just how deliberate each step up is. From left to right, each card is progressively more powerful. But you can see that progression isn’t totally linear.
The only thing I wish this card had, and it would be a big ask at this price point, would be 20 or 24 GB of VRAM instead of the 16GB. But that would be greedy, as the cards with that much RAM are significantly more costly. While 8GB cards are on their way out, and those with 12GB seem a bit short-sighted, 16GB should be enough to hold us for a good time to come. With the possible exception of whatever our AI needs may become.
While still important, you might have noticed that CUDA has lost that spotlight to something called Tensor Cores. Both are processing units, and the more you have, the better something will run. That “something” depends on the processor. Where CUDAs run general graphics and 3D rendering well, they are not nearly as efficient at running the latest tasks at our GPUs: Neural processing, AI and “Deep” processing, and are beneficial with NVIDIA’s DLSS 3.
At that stratospheric price, you would need to dish out an additional $1,000US above the cost of the Ti Super. That’s a lot of green, and quite frankly, begins to get very hard to justify. Unless you are working on commercial projects day in and out. And even then, remember, all Pixar movies were created on boxes with less GPU power than we have here!
