[Hardware] Official Benchmarks For NVIDIA RTX 4070 Leak Online – Matches RTX 3080 Performance Without Frame Generation!

[Clayboy™]

One of the most reliable of leakers has done it again. The official benchmarks for NVIDIA's upcoming RTX 4070 are out in the open thanks to Videocardz. Considering these are first party benchmarks, a grain of salt never hurt anyone, but they are incredibly exciting as NVIDIA is stating that the upcoming RTX 4070 will be able to match the NVIDIA RTX 3080 GPU in DLSS performance without Frame Generation. This is a huge deal because Frame Generation is quite the controversial technology and so-called 'fake frames' have divided gamers. With the RTX 4070 however, even without framer generation, you are looking at RTX 3080 performance levels with standard DLSS.

 

NVIDIA RTX 4070 is a very impressive 40% faster than an RTX 3080 with Frame Generation in official benchmarks

We had already revealed that the NVIDIA RTX 4070 is going to be launching for $599 a while back and now WhyCry has revealed the official performance figures ahead of time as always. RTX 4070 appears to have a far greater value proposition once you tie in DLSS 3.0 and/or Frame Generation. Without Frame Generation and just good old DLSS3, it performs more or less identical to an RTX 3080. If you include Frame Generation however, it suddenly performs up to 40% faster than an RTX 3080 or 80% faster than an RTX 3070 - which is what generational upgrades should always be like.

 

If you are someone that believes at raster performance only (although in today's era, I would add that it is a highly obsolete metric), than the RTX 4070 performs 15% faster than an RTX 3070. Worth noting that since both have exactly the same level of CUDA cores, the only real difference is in the  clock speeds and IPC gains of the architectural revision. NVIDIA is targeting the graphics card dead center at the 1440p 120 fps gaming market as it can hit 100+ FPS with presumably maxed out settings so 120 should also be easily doable with tweaking a few settings.

 

 

Of course if the card can perform 120 fps at 1440p it can also run games quite adequately at 4k 60 - which is starting to become the more commonly adopted resolution and standard. The NVIDIA RTX 4070 is going to be announced on April 13th and will have a single power connector.The RTX 4070 will be a cut-down AD104 die with ID of PG141-SKU336 and PG141-SKU337. The exact GPU variant name is going to be AD104-250-A1. The GPU will have the exact same transistor count as the RTX 4070 Ti but only 5888 CUDA Cores will be activated across 46 SMs. It will feature the exact same VRAM as the 4070 Ti at 12GBs worth of GDDR6X memory and the same bus width at 192-bit. The memory will also be clocked at the same rate of 21 Gbps bringing the bandwidth to a solid 504 GB/s. This is going to be the first card from NVIDIA that is going to have a default TGP of 250W. The die size is going to be the same as the RTX 4070 Ti at 295mm².
