Customers admire the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12GB VENTUS 3X OC's exceptional performance in games, high frame rates at 1440p resolution, and effective cooling system that keeps temperatures low and noise minimal. However, some customers find the price to be high and the card's size may pose compatibility issues for some computer cases. While many appreciate the quiet operation and advanced features like DLSS 3, a few users reported experiencing coil whine. The lack of RGB lighting is also noted by some, though others find this to be a positive.
To be clear, this card is meant for 1440p gaming, and it nails it right out of the box. It can do 4k, but it comes with some caveats. There were a lot of games I ran at max settings at 4k and it barely even flinched. Then, there were others where I would hit my VRAM limit and still have GPU head room based on utilization. Again, don't buy this card expecting to be able to run every game at 4k max settings. That was not my reasoning for it, but when I tested it out on a 4k TV I was pleasantly surprised by how well it handled it. At my desk, running at 1440p.. this thing absolutely smashes whatever you throw at it. I could put benchmark numbers for every game on here, but you can find those online anywhere. However, I will highlight one game that surprised me the most. The Medium was a majorly GPU heavy title that, when it would break into rendering two worlds simultaneiously, it would absolutely tank any GPU. At 1440p, max settings with full ray tracing, this card barely even dropped to 60 in the split world. When it wasn't rendering two worlds, it was basically a locked 120. In summary, if you're looking for a card that can handle any game you play at 1440p, max settings with max raytracing, this card is the definitive solution. DLSS 3 is an absolute treat, especially for CPU limited titles that break even the best CPUs out there (looking at you Witcher) and the statements about frame generation latency are overblown. I wouldn't use frame gen on a competitive FPS shooter, but using it in Flight Sim is really handy and makes for a nice smooth experience for something that might otherwise be really choppy at times. If you already have a 4k monitor/TV and are looking at this card, then I don't think you'll be disappointed. You just might need to lower your settings, resolution and expectations for some games that are really heavy on VRAM usage. P.S. - This is a pretty beefy card. If you have a micro ATX (like mine) or an ITX case, you might have to do some extra work. I knew based on the specs it would fit in my case, but I wasn't expecting to have to remove my air cooler to angle it in there. That is not a knock on the manufacturing, just something to keep in mind if you have a smaller case. It's 308mm long which is about 12.2inches, and you might as well add another .25-.5 inch due to the mounting bracket. Pros: - 1440p with max settings and raytracing don't even make this card sweat - 4k gaming is better than expected in most scenarios - DLSS 3 is really handy for games that are poorly optimized - Stock thermals are really great: 70c most of the time but never broke 80c Cons: - Not a great price, but is the best value in the current market - 4k gaming is not as great with VRAM heavy games

Fantastic card, runs extremely cool, minimal noise and not overly huge like other 40XX cards. Tackles 1440p gaming with ease. Fits into practically any case and with it's monochrome and lack of RGB can fit any color scheme well without the over gamery gimmicks most manufactures are using now. Ended up upgrading to a RTX 4080 Ventus 3x OC as I liked this design so much, but wanted the 16GB VRAM for future proofing, but would 100% recommend this card if you can't swing for a 4080. Wanted to knock one star off of value, not because of MSI priced this poorly but due to Nvidia's pricing on these cards. This is the best price to performance 4070 Ti out and is a fantastic value. I just wish Nvidia wasn't trying to nickel and dime everyone.

I read all the media about this card being overpriced and was skeptical. But after doing the research, considering the specs, cost, power consumption, etc., I felt it was the best value. So I went ahead and upgraded from a GTX 1080 to this one. 4 hours into it and I love it. On MW2 I am getting 170-200 FPS on 1440p with graphics at the recommended settings (I think close to ultra), and it isn't going above 62c. I have it paired with a 13700k and 32gb of ddr4 at 3600mhz. All in a 4000D case. Does it suck spending $800 on a GPU? Yes. But does my new (and first) build run and feel like I got my moneys worth ($2500)? Yes, yes it does. FYI, I didn't know that plate that came with it was to support it. Install it underneath the GPU. There is nothing in the box about that. Only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 starts on ease of use.
