The NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti will launch on Day 5 for an MSRP of $799 (which will be loosely interpreted by AICs since the company is not preparing a Founder’s Edition for this and only dedicated models will be released to market). Videocardz has done it again and leaked the official performance numbers for the RTX 4070 Ti — although we already had an exceptionally good idea from official NVIDIA chipsets for the same card when it launched as the RTX 4080 12 GB.
RTX 4070 Ti scores 11,258 points in TimeSpy Extreme (4K) and 13,698 points in FireStrike Ultra (4K)
In short, the RTX 4070 Ti is almost as fast as the older generation NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti. In gaming the RTX 4070 Ti is just shy of the RTX 3090 Ti and in rendering apps like Octanebench it’s actually quite a bit faster. The card’s official MSRP is $799, $1,200 less than the 1999 MSRP of the RTX 3090 Ti.
While it may be similar in performance, it is worth noting that the RTX 3090 Ti has 24GB of VRAM while the RTX 4070 Ti only has 12GB of VRAM. A full breakdown of the scores and their relative positions by Videocardz is given below:
| Data provided by Videocardz.com | TimeSpy Extreme (4K) | fire strike Ultra (4K) |
|---|---|---|
| GeForce RTX 4090 | 19484 | 24938 |
| Radeon RX 7900 XTX | 14883 | 19465 |
| GeForce RTX 4080 | 14022 | 17316 |
| Radeon RX 7900 XT | 12707 | 17288 |
| GeForce RTX 3090 Ti | 11312 | 13987 |
| GeForce RTX 4070 Ti | 11258 | 13698 |
| Radeon RX 6950 XT | 10694 | 15218 |
| GeForce RTX 3090 | 10288 | 12612 |
| GeForce RTX 3080 Ti | 10037 | 12451 |
| Radeon RX 6900 XT | 10012 | 14362 |
| Radeon RX 6800 XT | 9262 | 12978 |
| GeForce RTX 3080 | 8894 | 10843 |
| GeForce RTX 3070 Ti | 7402 | 9339 |
| GeForce RTX 3070 | 6789 | 8560 |
| Radeon RX 6750 XT | 6320 | 9001 |
The NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti will have 7680 CUDA cores clocked at 2.61GHz and backed by 12GB of GDDR6X memory. This means that you are looking at a theoretical peak FP32 throughput of 40.01 TFLOPs. Interestingly, however, these official benchmarks show that the RTX 4070 Ti will officially be slightly less powerful than the Radeon RX 7900 XT – which will have an MSRP of $899. So NVIDIA is undercutting the Radeon competitor by pricing it to appeal to what is essentially the new mainstream market segment.
| GPU | FP32 TFLOPs | MSRP | TFLOPs/dollars | Values (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GeForce RTX 4090 | 82.59 | 1599 | 0.05165 | 100.0% |
| GeForce RTX 4080 | 48.74 | 1199 | 0.04065 | 78.7% |
| GeForce RTX 4070 Ti | 40.09 | 799 | 0.05017 | 97% |
While the RTX 4090 sold like hot cakes considering the value proposition it was offering on a TFLOPs/$ basis, the RTX 4080 wasn’t good at all considering the poor price. The RTX 4070 Ti is much closer to the value proposition of the RTX 4090 and should sell better as well. It may not be the price gamers were hoping for, but it’s certainly a much better price than what we’ve seen on the market for years, and it should give way to NVIDIA and AMD to start reconnecting with their core audience — gamers.
