The NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti will be available on the 5th for $799 (which will be loosely construed by AICs because the business is not creating a Founder’s Edition for this and only bespoke versions will be available). Videocardz has done it again, leaking the official performance stats of the RTX 4070 Ti – even though we previously had an excellent notion from NVIDIA’s official presentation of the same card when it was announced as the RTX 4080 12 GB.
The RTX 4070 Ti is nearly as fast as the NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti from the previous generation. The RTX 4070 Ti falls just short of the RTX 3090 Ti in gaming, while it is slightly faster in rendering programmes like Octanebench. The card’s official MSRP is $799, which is $1200 cheaper than the RTX 3090 Ti’s MSRP of $1999.
While the performance may be comparable, it is worth mentioning that the RTX 3090 Ti did feature 24 GB of VRAM, whereas the RTX 4070 Ti only had 12 GB of VRAM.
The NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti will include 7680 CUDA cores running at 2.61 GHz and 12 GB of GDDR6X memory.
This translates to a theoretical peak FP32 throughput of 40.01 TFLOPs. Interestingly, these official benchmarks suggest that the RTX 4070 Ti will be somewhat less powerful than the Radeon RX 7900 XT, which will retail for $899. So NVIDIA is undercutting the Radeon competition by pricing it to appeal to the new mainstream market niche.
While the RTX 4090 sold like hotcakes given the value proposition it provided in terms of TFLOPs/$, the RTX 4080 did not fare well given the low price point. The RTX 4070 Ti is significantly closer to the value offer made by the RTX 4090 and should sell much better. This may not be the cost that gamers had hoped for, but it is significantly better than what we have seen in the market for years and should allow NVIDIA and AMD to reconnect with their primary audience – gamers.
