RTX 4070

RTX 4070 Specifications

The RTX 4070 is based on the Ada Lovelace architecture and manufactured using the 5 nm process node. It was launched approximately 2 years ago, originally priced at $599. It features 5888 cores, including 46 compute units (SMs), 184 texture mapping units (TMUs), and 64 render output units (ROPs). For ray tracing and AI-accelerated tasks, it also includes 46 dedicated RT cores and 184 Tensor cores, enabling advanced rendering and upscaling features where supported. It has a base clock of 1920 MHz and a boost clock reaching up to 2475 MHz. The RTX 4070 comes equipped with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 192-bit bus. Memory runs at 1313 MHz and delivers a total memory bandwidth of 504 GB/s.

This GPU has a low thermal design power (TDP) of 200 W. It is generally compatible with almost all PC cases and is excellent for SFF and compact systems where heat dissipation is a concern.

RTX 4070 Performance

RTX 4070 is a mid-range graphics card, scoring 50.92% in relative gaming performance. It provides excellent performance at 1440p resolution and is capable of delivering playable 4K gaming with optimized settings or technologies like DLSS, FSR, and frame generation. This GPU is well-suited for average gamers who want 100+ FPS in competitive games at 1440p or a reasonable 4K experience in less demanding titles.

The gaming performance-per-price ratio of RTX 4070 is 38.1%, indicating lower value in this category. This GPU does not offer high gaming performance and has a low performance-to-price ratio, making it a poor value proposition. There are better alternatives available in this price range.
