Just a few days before the official launch scheduled for April 13th, the first official performance figures for the RTX 4070 have found their way online. As expected, NVIDIA is showing the performance with DLSS 3 and Frame Generation, comparing it to three graphics cards in the RTX 30 series, the RTX 3080, the RTX 3070 Ti, and the RTX 3070.
According to NVIDIA, the GeForce RTX 4070 is targeting 1440p performance at above 100 FPS, with ray tracing and DLSS 3 enabled, of course. NVIDIA officially did not reveal any performance numbers without DLSS 3, but earlier rumors puts the RTX 4070 at around the same performance as the RTX 3080. With DLSS 3 and according to NVIDIA, the RTX 4070 is 1.4x, 1.7x, and 1.8x times faster, compared to the aforementioned RTX 30 series graphics cards.
NVIDIA has a pretty decent list of games, with and without Frame Generation, showing the RTX 4070 pulling way ahead of the RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 2070 Super, as expected. NVIDIA was keen to note that the RTX 3080 launched at $699, and the RTX 3070 Ti launched at $599, which should be the MSRP of the RTX 4070.
As detailed earlier, the GeForce RTX 4070 should be around 15 percent slower than the RTX 4070 Ti in gaming, with the gap closing on higher resolutions. Of course, these are all numbers with DLSS 2/DLSS 3, so you should wait for reviews to show up to get a better idea on the actual performance, performance per Watt, and performance per dollar. The first slide also confirms that the GeForce RTX 4070 will be available on April 13th at $599.

I dislike the 4070ti as well but at least it generally offers 3090ti performance at 1440p it kinda sucks for 4k making it not something I would buy but in the current market vs a new 3080 it's still the much better buy now if you like the similarly stupidly priced 7900XT more good for you that's really the only alternative for a new gpu.
Anyone who hasn't used DLSS3 in person opinion really doesn't matter it's a pretty neat technology and especially for it being first generation technology is really impressive would I buy a card for it hell no but at least in CP2077 and Witcher 3 NG it's pretty awesome. It does suck in Spiderman though but less so than DLSS1 did when it came out and way better than FSR1 as well. I really wish Nvidia could have supported it in 30 series cards but that still wouldn't have made any different to me I still would have grabbed a 4090 anyway just for the general performance increase over my overpriced 3080ti
Again people love to complain and I've done my fair share about all these cards but this isn't anything new unless the 4090 was 500 usd people would still cry life goes on though. I can hear it now "in my day a GTX 580 was 499, I'm not spending a dime over that" lmao. At least try to come up with a good argument other than power consumption lmao you post these in every article over and over nobody cares. Everyone here has seen the reviews you don't need to be a tech parrot just repeating themselves.
4070 might be a little better is the hope.
Now ADA is priced horrendously/astronomically in a historically declining PC market! Yeah let's try that again ~
3080 12GB is basically 3080Ti & cost $800 USD, what's the price of 4080 right now?
From the initial review
IMO, Nvidia has been skimping out on VRAM on lower tier cards for way too long, and this 4070 being the least crap doesn't really mean much when it really should have been the 4060 or 4060Ti.

RTX 4080 16GB $1159.99
They've been doing this since the 600 series and probably prior to that nothing new.
So in reality prices are fixed for the foreseeable future unless the GPU sales really tank hard & at that point Nvidia probably diverts these dies to enterprise any way!
Nvidia is pretty crappy as a company no doubt especially with how they seem to treat their partners but with AMD not doing much to make them appealing what choice top gamers have if they want the latest tech than to buy an Nvidia gpu with likely inadequate vram no less.... Not buy anything I guess. Unlike you I actually support his content at the same time I ain't so drunk on the green coolaid that I boast with the same two graphs in every article that the 4070ti isn't meh af.
Maybe apply for NVidia's marketing department you'd fit right in
I know exactly how the 4070ti performs and it's meh for 800+ usd mostly due to the 12GB of vram which is a joke for a card that cost that much. Still if you like it good for you it's ok to like bad things some of my favorite movies are not considered very good.
But actually come up with something useful to why it's good posting the same two graphs is not it. Also this is an article about the likely better 4070 at least from a cost perspective will you actually buy one of those or just post the same two graphs about it as well....
Almost every AIB model except a handful are also around the $900 mark for the 4070ti, and will be the same case for the 4070. So you get 3080 and 3080ti performance for almost the same exact prices and or performance per dollar.
I also specifically said price to performance, and spoke of nothing about msrp, as that is pretty irrelevant in most cases. Nvidia did nothing to move that needle. They shifted cards down yet another tier. Inflation, cost of materials yada yada, a midrange card (60/70 series), could be had anywhere from $250-400 just a few years ago. Now we get a 4060/4070 at 1.5-2 the cost, no value increase whatsoever, and people come here and defend nvidia on the matter?
Again I'm not saying this card even at 600 is any good but I'm guessing that soon after launch it won't be super hard to get a decent model near MSRP.
At the end of the day if people don't like them they shouldn't buy them at the same time it is mildly annoying to see people drink that green coolaid so hard that they are defending a piece of silicon they don't even own.
One of the people on this forum who I regard extremely highly owns a 4070ti but they at least tried a 7900XT first... I still don't see them boasting about it in every thread posting the same two graphs though.
I also know multiple people who bought a 4070ti and returned it immediately due to how underwhelming it is buying a 4080 instead lol.
I briefly forgot how irrelevant the 4070ti is when the 7900 XTX exists.
Everything this generation of cards is about how to best bend the consumer over, no matter who you’re buying from.
The problem with the 7900XT/7900XTX is AMD is not at a point where for most gamers they are very appealing even though they are both slightly better overall than the 4070ti given the pricing. I've never personally had any major issues with amd drivers but I know many who have to the point that AMD gpu's don't even exist anymore to them.
I own plenty of AMD and Nvidia products I still will bash the crap out of stuff they release that isn't very good due to pricing. At the same time I won't blindly do it either even if it's not a good one you can still make a case for all the current gen gpus if you try hard enough...
lets be real though all these products are pretty good from the 4070ti to the 4090 and both the AMD offerings the issue is their price this isn't a RX 6500 scenario that is just a bad product regardless of price but even then people who own them defend it and enjoy it so my opinion really doesn't matter all that much to begin with at least for the people actually buying these products and not just blindly drinking the koolaid from either of these companies.
While for some the initial change going between nvidia and amd drivers may be jarring, modern UI aside, AMD offers more and better control through their driver than nvidia currently does from a feature standpoint.
I can’t say for sure, but I like to blame tech tubers for a lot of this. They burn through so much free hardware for pumping out reviews and click bait videos, that more often than not discrepancies across reviews and other reviewers point out they more than likely have software/setup configuration issues that sometimes aren’t even related to the hardware they’re testing. With so little time to move to the next review it gets passed of as yea it’s definitely their problem (amd/nvidia/whoever) and not something they did. So everyone draws conclusions from half baked data, and click-bait snide bullet points, then choose to argue with whatever “influencers” data suits their argument
Write me off as a fanboy, but both nvidia and amd have had major issues in the past, which is entirely different from now. With the exception of some buggy game releases, both my nvidia and amd rigs have been exceptionally stable. I laugh everytime someone uses the driver excuse though. It may be my opinion, but AMD drivers are objectively better.
TLDR
Good hardware, bad BAD prices, escepcially Nvidia.
