Yesterday we had the opportunity to see the specifications, price and release date of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, a high-end graphics solution that has generated a lot of buzz and will arrive before the GeForce RTX 4070. The latter has also given a lot of what to talk about, especially since its specifications were not clear at alland they have changed over time.
According to new information, coming from a reliable source that accumulates quite a few hits, the GeForce RTX 4070 will also use the AD104 core, although in a rather cropped version. Contrary to what the first leaks indicated, said graphics card will have 12 GB of graphics memory and not 10 GB, something that is obviously positive.
The GeForce RTX 4070 specifications have also leaked, and the truth is that the numbers we have seen they would place it well below the Ti versionat least on paper, although it is important to keep in mind that nothing is confirmed yet, and therefore it is possible that in the end we will find a slightly different configuration.
Possible specifications of the GeForce RTX 4070
- AD104 graphics core in 5nm.
- 35.8 billion transistors.
- 5,888 shaders at 2,505 MHz-2,640 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.
- 36MB L2 cache.
- 31.08 TFLOPs of power in FP32.
- 250 watt TGP.
That configuration would leave us a performance in games similar to what we can expect from a GeForce RTX 3080although thanks to its 12 GB of graphics memory, to the third-generation RT cores and support for DLSS 3 technology the GeForce RTX 4070 would offer more interesting value, and would be able to outperform said graphics card in a forceful way when enabling frame generation.
Special mention deserves the issue of consumption, since the GeForce RTX 4070 would move in the 250 watts while the GeForce RTX 3080 reached a value of 320 watts. The jump in terms of energy efficiency would be considerable, and this model should work without problems in equipment that has a modest power supply.
We don’t have a definitive release date yet, but most likely the GeForce RTX 4070 will arrive soon after the Ti version, perhaps in late January or sometime in February. The price has not been revealed, but I would bet some $699-749.
