NVIDIA 4000 Series

[Nexus18]

GeForce RTX 4070 Ti specs from NVIDIA​

At least nvidia add their test rig and state which dlss preset is being used (and if FG is turned on) unlike a certain other vendor

Meh from me, for anyone buying "new", could be a good alternative to the other new gpus if it does come in at £700-800

Along with such definite information as 1x, 2x, 3x...

At least it isn't "up to" figures......

EDIT:

Interesting they done 1440 here and not the go to of 4k so to me indicates they are "marketing" this as a 1440p gpu more than a 4k one, makes sense and pretty obvious what this gpu should be aimed at tbf.

 

[Bill Turnip]

Ha! True. Although if you don't know what 1x is, any comparison is pointless. The 4070ti might only play CP2077 at 5fps with those settings.

And a pre release build. The drivers may (probably not) completely bork it.

These marketing charts aren't worth the space on the Internet. This is true of any pre release product from any vendor.

Lovelace efficiency is being put to full use in the laptop line up


This is something I haven't seen happen before; the laptop rtx4090 is on par with the performance of the desktop rtx4070ti and it uses 100w less than the 4070ti. How did Nvidia achieve this? The laptop 4090 has significantly more cores than the 4070ti but the clocks speeds are significantly lower; the clock speed has a greater impact on power draw rather than core count so the reduction in clock speed didn't just allow for adding enough cores to match desktop performance but reduced TDP by a further 100w

Tldr; the 150w laptop 4090 has the same performance as the 250w desktop 4070ti

I'd really like to try this "Ray Tracing:Overdrive Mode" for Cyberpunk for those over the top glass-like reflections but I'm guessing it won't come out until Cyberpunks expansion which has no real ETA.

Comparing performance with fake frames turned on when only 1 GPU supports it isn't misleading at all /s.

Yeah - I *hate* this marketing. All that chart is telling us is that MSFS is CPU-bottlenecked at 1440p on the 3080 and that the RT hardware in the 40-series is twice as fast as the 30-series (nothing new there) - the Warhammer one is actually the odd one out since that's also going to be using Frame Generation on 40-series so the uplift against the 3080 here is kinda meh - CPU again maybe?

Warhammer is also pretty cpu bound and the RT is quite intensive too (reflections and GI)

Which is weird because typically in the heaviest RT workloads (really, only Cyberpunk at the moment), Ada is 2x Ampere's performance (with DLSS Frame Generation 'doubling' whatever the final output is) - which is why the Warhammer result is so underwhelming - it's seemingly not taking much advantage of Ada's RT improvements nor is it getting the typical doubling of fps of Frame Generation.

Warhammer isn't using SER for 40xx RT optimisations (CP "overdrive" RT mode has it) but yeah even without that it is a bit weird.

4070 TI, terrible card for terrible money. Dread to think what the AIB prices are going to be. I'll assume more than the 7900 XT, who knows.

 

[G J]

The way things are going it seems a 4050/4060 is going to be £400+ and a 4030 is going to be £300.

It should be aimed at 1440p as it's the 4060ti.

There's more to performance than just frequency-power, you can also spend more die area and optimise for efficiency (plus bin further). You'll get a chip that costs a lot more than a smaller one run hotter, but is more efficient for the performance.

But let's see if the performance can be sustained in the real world - there are often additional TDP caps so power hungry games end up running at even lower frequencies.

Cannot wait to see these RT overdrive puddles

Sickest puddles ever, So much water on road, Much reflect, Many shiny !!!!

Say what you will about him. I swear Nexus has a degree in graphics stuff, I see these options in the menu, have no idea what they are other than I turn them high when I can.
It's been one of these things I've promise to teach myself and still haven't done like when I see multiple options for AA and I have no idea which one is better.

After having time to play around with my 4090 Strix OC a bit over the holidays, I’m wishing I’d just gone with a cheaper version this time around. I can’t get passed 1400 on the memory which is a little disappointing. I haven’t noticed any coil whine though and the card stays very cool even over 3000mhz so it’s just really holding back my Port Royal score at just under 28000. If anyone is on the fence just go with a founders if you can get one, and save some cash.

I don't mean this in a snarky way, but I think most people on here didn't need convincing that a strix was never worth the extra over the founders edition or probably any of the other cheaper cards.
