People saw that it's the same chip as in 4080 and assumed that it will be the same performance even though what really matters is the configuration of the chip.I'm not sure what results you're expecting? It's 10% more SMs with the same power limit. There's also going to be a lot of tests, especially at 1080p, that were already at diminishing returns with the 4070ti even due to likely stalling outside of the GPU.
This was always likely going to be the situation -
4070s - largest performance gain
4070ti s - VRAM
4080s - price drop
Also the years long whine about the "lack" of 12GBs of VRAM meant that everyone was expecting something big from 16GBs while in reality 12GBs are fine and enough.
