Found the performance is underwhelming. Default BIOS is bugged, about 3% lower than other standard 4070 Ti Super like the news says.
I flashed the MSI updated BIOS found it’s still about 1.5% less performance, I checked the power limit even if it says 285w, the actual max power it pulls limited to 275w. So it’s still bugged and shame to Msi.
So I ventured out flashed Asus Strix’s BIOS, found it’s working perfectly: not only default power level correctly target at 285w, and it can increase to 128% thus given sufficient enough power budget for overclocking.
In the end, I tweaked for +220Mhz core and +1500Mhz memory in afterburner, end up about 10% more performance squeezed from default.
Overall it’s a budget card not fancy by any means, and Msi did a poor job to produce something basic as a OEM bios.
