After the leaked benchmarks of the RTX 4060 Of Nvidiacomes news of a rumored April launch date for its slightly older sibling, the RTX 4070.
The employees of Videocardz have come into possession of alleged embargo documents describing the launch plans of Nvidia for the RTX 4070. The precise date of the announcement of the new graphics card has not been specified. However, according to rumors, this GPU will be available on shelves starting in April.
From a specification perspective, it is expected that the RTX 4070 weighs in at Nvidia’s 5,888 CUDA cores for pixel beautification and a maximum boost clock of 2,475 MHz. This compares to the 7,680 cores of the RTX 4070 Ticonfirmed, launched and benchmarked, reaching a maximum of di 2.610 MHz.
The 4070 has the same 192-bit memory bus, 12GB of GDDR6X, and 504GB/s of bandwidth. Overall, the 4070 is said to be able to deliver 29TFLOPS of raw computation. That’s a decent difference from the RTX 4070 Ti’s 40TFLOPS.
For further context, i 29TFLOPS place the new one RTX 4070 on the same level as RTX 3080 of the previous Ampere generation. Still, that’s nearly 50% faster than the 20TFLOPS of its last-gen counterpart, the RTX 3070 (opens in a new tab).
Gaming performance isn’t limited to TFLOPS, Obviously. But it is interesting to note that the RTX 4070 it has exactly the same number of cores CUDA of the old woman RTX 3070 (5.888). A large part of the performance increase is therefore due to higher clock speeds. The older RTX 3070 clocked 1,725 MHz versus the new RTX 4070’s 2,475 MHz.
The last piece of the puzzle is the price. With the RTX 4070 Ti for $799at what price can we hope that the RTX 4070? Considering that the older RTX 3070 was a $499 GPU at launch and that so far all RTX 40 series cards have been more expensive than that model, let’s assume a price of $599 or so.
