NVIDIA RTX 4070 is just around the corner

It appears we might have the very first benchmark of the upcoming RTX 4070 GPU. 
 


The RTX 4070 non-Ti is the upcoming AD104-based mid-range card. It is replacing the Ampere RTX 3070 model that was released more than two years ago (October ’20) but later updated to LHR (Lite Hash Rate) model in May ’21. It is about time NVIDIA has a successor, a successor that launches after RTX 4070 Ti.

According to a leaked benchmark, the RTX 4070 GPU has been tested on a Core i9-13900K system with an ASRock Z790 Taichi Carrara motherboard. Given how niche this motherboard is, we might assume that this is a reviewer preparing data for April 12th.  The card is confirmed to feature 12GB and 10.5 GHz (21 Gbps) memory. This is the same configuration as the RTX 4070 Ti.

Furthermore, the leak confirms 46 Streaming Multiprocessor count, which translates into 5888 CUDA cores. This is quite literally the last part of the RTX 4070 specs that still had to be confirmed. Now it seems we know everything.


 
As for the result itself, the card scores 202437 points in Geekbench CUDA test and 177594 in OpenCL. Since these synthetic tests in relatively short and not gaming-related APIs, there is really no point in comparing this data. Furthermore, both tests were performed with the older version of Geekbench (5 not 6).

However, if one was still determined to compare this card to RTX 3070, then it would end up with 25-30% higher performance versus last-gen.

The RTX 4070 launches on April 13th at $599 price. The card will cost $200 (25%) less than RTX 4070 Ti while performing around 20% slower in first benchmarks.
