According to a hardware leaker, Nvidia will officially announce the GeForce RTX 4070 on Monday, April 13th. @hongxing2020 He has a reputation for revealing exact launch dates for Nvidia’s upcoming hardware. Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4070 is priced cheaper than the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, making the company’s Ada Lovelace architecture more accessible to gamers.
Nvidia’s standard GeForce RTX 4070 is set to be based on the same AD104 graphics processor as the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, which launched earlier this year. However, the latter uses a full-fat version of the GPU with all 7680 CUDA cores enabled, while the non-Ti GeForce RTX 4070 features 5888 CUDA cores and runs between 1920 MHz and 2475 MHz, significantly faster. It is reported to come with a reduced processor, but still features a 12GB GDDR6X memory subsystem with a 192-bit interface.
Even with the heavily reduced AD104 GPU, the GeForce RTX 4070 should feature around 29 FP32 TFLOPS of compute performance. This closely matches the performance of the GeForce RTX 3080. The latter, on the other hand, has a 320-bit memory bus with a peak bandwidth of 760 GB/s, significantly higher than the 504 GB/s offered by the AD104 with 21 GT/s GDDR6X memory.
| row 0 – cell 0 | GPUs | FP32 CUDA core | memory configuration | TBP | Manufacturer’s suggested retail price |
| GeForce RTX 4090 Ti | AD102 | 18176 (?) | 24GB 384bit 24GT/s GDDR6X (?) | 600W (?) | ? |
| GeForce RTX 4090 | AD102 | 16384 | 24GB 384bit 21GT/s GDDR6X | 450W | $1,599 |
| GeForce RTX 4080 | AD103 | 9728 | 16GB 256bit 22.4GT/s GDDR6X | 320W | $1,199 |
| GeForce RTX 4070 Ti | AD104 | 7680 | 12GB 192bit 21GT/s GDDR6X | 285W | $799 |
| GeForce RTX 4070 | AD104 | 5888 (?) | 12GB 192bit 21GT/s GDDR6X | 250W (?) | ? |
| GeForce RTX 4060 Ti | AD106 | 4352 (?) | 8GB 128bit 18GT/s GDDR6 | 160W (?) | <$500? |
| GeForce RTX 3070 | GA104 | 5888 | 8GB 256bit 14GT/s GDDR6 | 220W | $499 |
29 FP32 TFLOPS of compute performance makes the GeForce RTX 4070 one of the best graphics cards available, but for workloads where memory bandwidth is critical (anti-aliasing, for example).
The drastic reduction in GPU configurations ensures high availability of the qualified AD104 GPUs and allows Nvidia and its partners to aggressively price GeForce RTX 4070 parts. Given that the model RTX 4070 sits below the RTX 4070 Ti, which carries an MSRP of $799, newcomers are guaranteed to be cheaper, but we don’t know how much cheaper it will be.
In any case, the GeForce RTX 4070 release date and hardware configuration information comes from an unofficial source, so trust us.
