16GB · AI Score 4.3/100 · first-party measured on 12 AI workloads
4.3 AI Score Includes estimates
Every number on this page is first-party: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super was run on our pinned 12-workload AI suite on 2026-07-11, with under 0.5% run-to-run variance. On Llama 3.1 8B (Q4_K_M) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super delivers about 119.63 tokens/sec. Llama 3.3 70B does not fit. It needs roughly 42GB and this card has 16GB. For image generation, SDXL runs at 4.45 it/s, while FLUX.1-dev won't fit at BF16 (needs ~26GB). 6 of the 12 workloads won't fit on 16GB at the tested precision, Qwen3 32B, Llama 3.3 70B, FLUX.1-dev, FLUX.1 Kontext and others. We publish those as hard gates rather than quietly dropping to a smaller quant.
The 16GB actually changes this card's story: only 6 of 12 workloads gated instead of 8, and it never got near its 285W rating (I peaked it at 250W). The Z-Image and LTX video runs were my noisiest on this card, which makes sense, those sit right at the VRAM edge. Quick note on the setup: all my AI benchmarking was done on rented cloud GPUs, I used all three of Vast.ai, RunPod and Modal depending on which had the card, and they all have their pros and cons. Same pinned harness on every run, and everything here got double-checked before it went up.

This card is $799 to buy. The cheapest listed rate on Vast.ai is $0.252/hour, but that is the floor: we budget $0.302/hour, a 20% premium, because idle time, storage and unavailable cheap instances all land on the same bill. At that rate buying wins after 2,642 GPU-hours. Below it you are paying for idle silicon.
| How you would use it | GPU-hours a year | Rental cost a year | Time to break even |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 hours a day, hobby | 730 | $221 | 3.6 years |
| 8 hours a day, working on it | 2,920 | $883 | 10.9 months |
| 24/7, always-on agent | 8,760 | $2,649 | 3.6 months |
At steady usage this card pays for itself inside a normal ownership window. Rental figures include a 20% premium over the cheapest listed rate. Ignores electricity, resale and the fact that a rented card can be a newer one tomorrow.
