Overview

The RTX 4070 Ti Super delivers 62/100 on our composite AI workload index — a balanced view of Flux generation throughput, SDXL inference, and quantized local LLM performance. With 16GB of VRAM and a 285W TDP, it's positioned for mainstream AI creators with budget constraints.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • 16GB VRAM handles most Flux & SDXL workflows
  • 1.8 it/s on Flux.1 dev FP16
  • Excellent CUDA ecosystem support
  • Strong resale value

Cons

  • 285W TDP requires serious PSU
  • Limited for 70B+ local LLMs
  • Limited stock at MSRP

VRAM analysis

With 16GB of VRAM, the RTX 4070 Ti Super can comfortably run: Flux.1 dev FP8 with text encoders offloaded, SDXL with multiple LoRAs, and Llama 3 8B at FP16 or 34B at Q4.

Flux performance

At 1.8 it/s, a standard Flux.1 dev 25-step generation completes in ~13.9 seconds. For batch workflows, expect linear scaling up to VRAM limits.

ComfyUI performance

SDXL throughput of 8.9 it/s makes the RTX 4070 Ti Super viable for iterative ComfyUI workflows. Block-swap and tiled VAE are rarely needed.
