[Hardware] NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Official: 5888 Cores, 12 GB G6X Memory, $599 US, 1440P Gaming At 100+ FPS

[Krnfx™]

NVIDIA has officially unveiled its brand new GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card which aims to offer 100+ FPS in 1440P Gaming at $599 US.

 

NVIDIA Unleashes Its GeForce RTX 4070 Graphics Card, Ada Lineup Now Starting At $599 US

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4070 is the latest addition to the Ada Lovelace gaming lineup and the green team is stating it as a tremendous upgrade for existing GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce RTX 2070 users. The graphics card also brings the pricing of the Ada Gaming lineup down to $599 US, being the most lowest priced next-gen card yet. Besides just adding more performance and efficiency, it adds a range of new features including:

 

• New Streaming Multiprocessors (SM) – The new SM delivers up to 2x performance and power efficiency
• 4th Generation Tensor Cores and Optical Flow – Enable and accelerate transformative AI technologies, including the new frame rate multiplying NVIDIA DLSS 3
• 3rd Generation RT Cores – Up to 2x ray tracing performance, delivering incredibly detailed virtual worlds like never before
• Shader Execution Reordering (SER) – SER improves ray tracing operations by 2x, boosting FPS up to 44% in Cyberpunk with RT: Overdrive Mode
• DLSS 3 – A revolutionary breakthrough in AI-powered graphics that massively boosts performance using AI to generate additional high-quality frames
• NVIDIA Studio – Unmatched performance in 3D rendering, video editing, and live streaming
• AV1 Encoders – The 8th generation NVIDIA Encoder (NVENC) with AV1 is 40% more efficient than H.264, enabling new possibilities for streamers, broadcasters, and video callers

 

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 uses a cut-down AD104 GPU configuration with 46 SMs for a total of 5888 CUDA cores The GPU will come packed with 36 MB of L2 cache, 184 Texture Mapping Units & a total of 64 ROPs. The clock speeds for the graphics card are rated at 1920 MHz base and 2475 MHz boost clocks. The card offers 29 TFLOPs of FP32, 67.4 TFLOPs of RT, and 466 TFLOPs on INT8 compute output.

 

 

NVIDIA states that increasing the L2 cache by 9 times on the RTX 4070 versus the RTX 3070 (36 MB vs 4 MB) improves performance, reduces latency, & increases power efficiency, as data access can remain on-chip (rather than having to rely on memory bandwidth).As for memory specs, the GeForce RTX 4070 features 12 GB GDDR6X capacities that will be adjusted at 21.0 Gbps speeds across a 192-bit bus interface. This will provide up to 504 GB/s of bandwidth. This is the same memory configuration as used by the RTX 4070 Ti and 4 GB more memory versus the 3070 series graphics cards.

 

• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 12 GB "Official" TBP - 200W
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8 GB "Official" TBP - 220W

 

As far as the power consumption is concerned, the TBP is rated at 200W. The card will be powered by a single 16-pin connector which can theoretically deliver up to 600W of power. Custom models will be offering higher TBP targets but are also open to using standard 8-pin connectors.

 

 

Just for comparison's sake:

• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090: 83 TFLOPs (FP32) (2.5 GHz Boost clock)
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080: 49 TFLOPs (FP32) (2.5 GHz Boost clock)
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti: 49 TFLOPs (FP32) (1.86 GHz Boost clock)
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti: 40 TFLOPs (FP32) (2.6 GHz Boost clock)
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090: 36 TFLOPs (FP32) (1.69 GHz Boost clock)
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070: 29 TFLOPs (FP32) (2.48 GHz Boost clock)
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080: 29 TFLOPs (FP32) (1.71 GHz Boost clock)
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti: 21 TFLOPs (FP32) (1.77 GHz Boost clock)
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070: 20 TFLOPs (FP32) (1.75 GHz Boost clock)

 

Based on a boost clock speed of 2.48 GHz, you get up to 29 TFLOPs of compute performance and you can definitely squeeze out a lot more with an overclock as we had demonstrated with the RTX 4090. One should remember that compute performance doesn't necessarily indicate the overall gaming performance.
