NVIDIA has today announced its long-awaited RTX 4070 GPU, which is without doubt the cheapest way to get the DLSS 3.0 goodness into your life, particularly in the 1440p space.
@shannongrixti The NVIDIA RTX 4070 has been revealed. It costs $1,109 AUD and releases on April 13th #nvidia #nvidiageforce #rtx4070 #nvidiartx4070 #PC #PCgaming #tech #nvidiartx
NVIDIA RTX 4070 AUSTRALIAN PRICE AND RELEASE DATE
The RTX 4070 will cost $1,109 AUD in Australia (it has an RRP of $599 USD) and it’s assumed that partner cards will likely cost more than this.
The RTX 4070 is set to release on April 13th, so not too long to wait at all. It’s unlikely that the Founder’s Edition will be available in Australia but partner cards from the likes of MSI and Gigabyte will be available.
NVIDIA RTX 4070 PERFORMANCE
As far as performance goes, it’s very clear that this is a 1440p card first and foremost, blowing past 100FPS in games such as Cyberpunk 2077 (with RT ultra), A Plague Tale Requiem, Dying Light 2, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Spider-Man Miles Morales, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Warhammer 40K: Darktide.
NVIDIA says that it has 1.4x times the performance of a 3080 when utilising DLSS 3.0 (1x performance with standard DLSS), 1.7x the performance of a 3070 Ti whilst utilising DLSS 3.0 (1.2x performance with standard DLSS) and 1.8x performance of a 3070 (1.3x performance with standard DLSS).
This is fairly impressive given that just like the RTX 4080, it’s using a lot less power than its predecessor, but performing better than the 3070/3080 that came before it. Thankfully, the card is a dual-slot card, which makes it a lot smaller than it’s bigger brothers, the 4080 and 4090.
The full stats can be found below:
- CUDA Cores: 5888
- Base Clock: 1920 Mhz
- Boost Clock: 2475 Mhz
- Memory: 12GB
- Memory Interface: 192-bit
- Memory Bandwidth: 504 GB/s
- Total Power: 200w
As far as NVIDIA’s current GPU line-up, they consider the line-up to be:
- RTX 4090
- RTX 4080
- RTX 4070 Ti
- RTX 4070
- RTX 3060 Ti
- RTX 3060
- RTX 3050
It’s assumed that next in line will likely be the RTX 4060, but we’ll have to wait and see when that eventuates.
