A new leak has left us the final specifications, the price and the release date of the GeForce RTX 4070, a graphics card that will mean the entry level to the high end of the new generation of NVIDIA. In broad strokes, the information that we gave you at the time in this article has been fulfilled.
As our regular readers will remember, on March 15, information also emerged that the GeForce RTX 4070 was going to be priced at $749, a figure that was obviously a complete nonsense because it would place it only $50 away from the GeForce. RTX 4070 Ti. That’s why I told you that it didn’t make any sense, and that it was most likely that its price would end up in the range of 649 dollars.
I was not on the wrong track, and this leak has confirmed that the price of the GeForce RTX 4070 will be $599. This will be the recommended price for the reference models, which means that we will see overclocked versions and premium designs that will cost more, as has always been the case within the different ranges of the main manufacturers.
If we compare with the previous generation we find ourselves with a price increase of $ 100 compared to the GeForce RTX 3070. In return, the GeForce RTX 4070 presents a significant improvement in terms of raw power, since by TFLOP it is placed at the level of a GeForce RTX 3080, It will have 4 GB of extra graphics memory and will offer all the exclusive improvements of the Ada Lovelace architecture:
- Third generation RT cores.
- Fourth generation tensor cores.
- DLSS3 with frame generation.
- Greater energy efficiency.
- Increased L2 cache.
- AV1 codecs.
GeForce RTX 4070 Final Specs
- AD104 graphics core in 5nm.
- 35.8 billion transistors.
- 5,888 shaders at 1,920 MHz-2,475 MHz, normal and turbo mode.
- 184 texturing units.
- 184 fourth generation tensor cores.
- 64 raster units.
- 46 third generation RT cores.
- 192-bit bus.
- 12 GB of 21 GHz GDDR6X memory (504.2 GB/s).
- 36MB L2 cache.
- 29.15 TFLOPs of power in FP32.
- 200 watt TGP (average consumption 186 watts in games).
Price, release date and opinion
As we anticipated at the beginning of this article, the price of the GeForce RTX 4070 will be $599 in its reference version, a figure that in Spain should become 699 euros after converting currency and applying VAT 21. Keep in mind that the price in dollars does not include taxes, because these depend on each State in the United States.
Models with premium designs and finishes, and factory overclocked, They could be at higher figures, but at no time will they be stepped on with the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, which is obviously more powerful and positions a step above, both for performance and price. Its release is still scheduled for April 13th.
With the final specifications confirmed, I feel ready to issue a first assessment of the GeForce RTX 4070. I think it will be a very interesting model to play with all the guarantees in 4K, especially thanks to the differential value that will mark in that resolution the DLSS and the generation of frames, and also thanks to its 12 GB of graphic memory, that will be a guarantee to play with maximum qualities without problems.
