Synthetic Testing & Performance

Testing was performed at stock ‘Out-of-the-box’ settings except for system memory which had its XMP profile applied. The 3070 Ti was switched from its default “silent” BIOS to the performance-oriented one, but the Extreme Performance profile in MSI Center was left disabled.

Futuremark 3DMark

3DMark includes everything you need to benchmark your PC and mobile devices in one app. Whether you’re gaming on a smartphone, tablet, notebook, or desktop gaming PC, 3DMark includes a benchmark designed specifically for your hardware.

Nvidia’s RTX 3070 Ti only has 256 more CUDA cores than the RTX 3070 and 40Mhz more boost clock so it should be less than 5% faster than the 3070, but MSI’s 3070 Ti SUPRIM X 8G comes in at almost 9% faster than the 3070 Founders Edition, and not terribly far behind the MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio.

Time Spy also shows a strong performance gain with the 3070 Ti SUPRIM X landing right between the 3070 and 3080 as expected.

 

Port Royal
test and compare the real-time ray tracing performance of any graphics card that supports Microsoft DirectX Raytracing—including multi-GPU systems.

Port Royal shows a smaller but still solid 7.7% gain over the 3070 for the 3070 Ti SUPRIM X.

 

NVIDIA DLSS Feature Test
The NVIDIA DLSS feature test runs in two passes. The first pass renders Port Royal with DLSS disabled to measure baseline performance. The second pass renders Port Royal at a lower resolution then uses DLSS processing to create frames at the output resolution. The result screen reports the frame rate for each run.

The 3070 Ti SUPRIM is only slightly faster than an RTX 2070 initially until you enable DLSS. With DLSS enabled, the 3070 Ti SUPRIM X decimates the entire RTX 20 series product stack.

 

3DMark – VRS Feature Test
The 3DMark VRS feature test is designed to help you compare differences in performance and image quality when using variable-rate shading. The test also offers an interactive mode for experimenting with different VRS settings and exporting frames for comparison.

Variable Rate Shading shows great gains at 1080P but it really shows its mettle at 4K with the 3070 Ti SUPRIM X gaining almost 64% at 4K.

 

Futuremark VRMark

The performance requirements for VR games are much higher than for typical PC games. So if you’re thinking about buying an HTC Vive or an Oculus Rift, wouldn’t you like to know that your PC is ready for VR?

VRMark includes three VR benchmark tests that run on your monitor, no headset required, or on a connected HMD. At the end of each test, you’ll see whether your PC is VR-ready, and if not, how far it falls short.

Orange Room Test – The Orange Room benchmark shows the impressive level of detail that can be achieved on a PC that meets the recommended hardware requirements for the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. If your PC passes this test, it’s ready for the two most popular VR systems available today.

Cyan Room Test – Cyan Room is a DirectX 12 benchmark. It features a large, complex scene and many eye-catching effects. Cyan Room shows how using an API with less overhead can help developers deliver impressive VR experiences even on modest PC systems.

Blue Room Test – The Blue Room is a much more demanding test. It’s ideal for benchmarking the latest graphics cards. With its massive 5K rendering resolution and spectacular volumetric lighting effects, the Blue Room sets the bar for future hardware generations.

VRMark shows just how powerful the RTX 30 series cards are because the lower resolution Orange room test scores lower than Cyan since it ends up CPU bound. The Blue room test gives us an average of almost 98 FPS which is playable but maybe not perfectly optimal.

Interestingly, the 3070 Ti SUPRIM X scores a bit higher than our MSI 3080 Gaming X Trio

 

Unigine Superposition

Extreme performance and stability test for PC hardware: video card, power supply, cooling system. Check your rig in stock and overclocking modes with a real-life load! Also includes interactive experience in a beautiful, detailed environment.

A lone professor performs dangerous experiments in an abandoned classroom, day in and day out. Obsessed with inventions and discoveries beyond the wildest dreams, he strives to prove his ideas.

Once you come to this place in the early morning, you would not meet him there. The eerie thing is a loud bang from the laboratory heard a few moments ago. What was that? You have the only chance to cast some light upon this incident by going deeply into the matter of quantum theory: a thorough visual inspection of the professor’s records and instruments will help to lift the veil on the mystery.

MSI’s RTX 3070 Ti SUPRIM does an excellent job in Superposition with the 4K optimized preset scoring an average of 91.32 FPS.

 

Passmark Performance Test – GPU Mark 3D

“Fast, easy to use, PC speed testing, and benchmarking. PassMark Performance Test ™ allows you to objectively benchmark a PC using a variety of different speed tests and compare the results to other computers.”

Performance Test 10’s 3D Mark test is our only anomaly with the 3070 Ti SUPRIM X falling just a touch short of the 3070 Founders, likely due to driver optimizations.

 

Blender Benchmark 2.90 – BMW27

A new platform to collect and display the results of hardware and software performance tests. Aimed at an optimal comparison between system hardware and installations using open-source software and testing content in the public domain.

For Productivity, the 3070 Ti SUPRIM X knocks out Blender’s BMW test in 30 seconds flat.
