How fast will Nvidia’s next graphics card be? First leaked benchmarks of the RTX 4070 speak of a performance difference to the RTX 4070 Ti of up to 19 percent. We round up all the known differences between the 4070 and 4070 Ti for you, and how the 4070 compares to current graphics cards.
Where does the 4070 compare to the 4070 Ti?
The 4070 and 4070 Ti differ primarily in the number of installed CUDA cores, the L2 cache and the graphics processor. Otherwise, similar or identical components are installed. We list an overview of all similarities and differences in the following table.
| Hardware | RTX 4070 | RTX 4070 Ti |
|---|---|---|
| GPU cores | AD104-250/251 | AD104 |
| CUDA colors | 5,888 | 7,680 |
| VRAM | 12GB GDDR6X | 12GB GDDR6X |
| VRAM speed | 21 Gbps | 21 Gbps |
| L2 cache | 36MB | 48MB |
Compared to the 4070 Ti, the performance of the 4070 in Geekbench 5 is 19 percent lower. The 4070 Ti scores 219,500 while the 4070 scores 177,600.
Where does the 4070 compare to other graphics cards?
In the Geekbench 5 benchmark, the 4070 ranks above the 6900 XT, but is just below the 3080 and achieves a 12 percent lower score than the 3080 Ti. This is probably primarily due to the lower clock speeds of the AD104 GPU installed in the 4070.
| graphic card | Geekbench 5 Score |
|---|---|
| RTX 4070 Ti | 219,500 |
| RTX 3080 Ti | 201,400 |
| RTX 3080 | 181,100 |
| RTX 4070 | 177,600 |
| RX 6900 XT | 170,000 |
How does the power consumption of the 4070 compare to the 4070 Ti?
The 4070 rumored to have one TDP of 200 watts and would be 8 percent more economical than the 3070. The 3070 had a TDP of 220 watts. Compared to the 4070 Ti, which has a TDP of 280 watts, the 4070 is about 30 percent more economical.
In video games, the 4070 is said to draw 186 watts of power, which means the graphics card uses 13.5 percent less power than the 3070 and similar to the 3060. At the same time, the 4070 is said to have similar performance to the 3080 12GB, which draws 300 to 320 watts .
The 4070 and 4070 Ti will be similar in size.
Price and release of the 4070
The 4070 is rumored to be on April 13th appear. The Founder Edition should be one day earlieravailable on April 12th.
At release, the RTX 4070 is expected to cost $599. In Germany, the RTX 4070 could appear for 650 to 700 euros.
Of course, the RTX 4070 also supports ray tracing. Has ray tracing found widespread use in the meantime?
What do you think of the leaked performance of the RTX 4070? Is the graphics card interesting for you or is the price too high for the promised performance? Would the reduced power consumption of the RTX 4070 compared to the RTX 4070 Ti be a reason for you to buy it? Or are you currently still waiting with the graphics card upgrade?
