Written analysis

RTX 4070 at a glance

The RTX 4070 is based on the Ada Lovelace architecture and is manufactured using the 5 nm process at TSMC. It ships with 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus , about 504 GB/s. Shader count is 5888 across 28 CU/SM. The board interface is PCIe 4.0 x16.

Reference board power is a moderate 200 W with 1x 16-pin. Final PSU and case requirements still depend on the specific partner card and the rest of the system.

VRAM capacity is mid-range at 12 GB. Fine for 1440p; 4K ultra and large texture mods are where you start making compromises.

Best fit: Cost-conscious 1080p gaming systems.

Gaming performance

RTX 4070 is an entry-level gaming GPU, at 43.05% of the dataset’s best 1440p raster performance. 1080p is the natural target.

1440p value is excellent at 71.0 performance per dollar.
