Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Founders Edition Review - OC3D

Introduction The improvement to the RTX range from when it first launched has been staggering. If the RTX 2000 series was the first edition of hardware ray tracing, and the 3000 series was the first time that you could realistically turn it on in anything, then the latest 4000 series has proven...

ASUS GeForce RTX 4070 Dual Review

The ASUS RTX 4070 Dual comes at NVIDIA's MSRP of $600, yet offers an improved cooler over the Founders Edition. ASUS even managed to include a dual BIOS feature on their card. With the "quiet" BIOS active, the card is whisper quiet, quieter than any other RTX 4070 tested today.

Underwhelmed is an understatement.

This is more of a 1080p and qHD dGPU. The RTX3080 was considered more of a 4K dGPU when it was released.

Something I noticed in the other thread.

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

What a load of ****, cannot wait for AIB prices and their purchasers.

Already people are starting to spin,it consumes so little power!

Even DF were underwhelmed.

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Zero surprises there, the leaks were bang on by the sounds of it. An interesting thing is that bang for buck is similar to 7900 XT according to Techpowerup graphs although technically I guess you could have worked that out before the review (I just didn't!)

Also interesting that it's on 5nm rather than 4nm like the 4090 - no wonder the it seems badly positioned by comparison, it's like a refresh behind.

TSMC 4N is an improved 5NM process. Just like TSMC 6NM is an improved 7NM.

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

AMD researchers will be reading this, give us and tech jurnalists something to cheer about, take the win, its right there.... don't do a 7900XT.

The need to get the Navi 32 based RX7800XT out. Make it a 16GB card and offer it at under £500. Apparently it has around 2/3 the shaders of Navi31 and that would place it around the RX6800XT/RTX3080 level at qHD:

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX Review - Disrupting the GeForce RTX 4080

Navi 31 is here! The new $999 Radeon RX 7900 XTX in this review is AMD's new flagship card based on the wonderful chiplet technology that made the Ryzen Effect possible. In our testing we can confirm that the new RX 7900 XTX is indeed faster than the GeForce RTX 4080, but only with RT disabled.

www.techpowerup.com

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Yeah tho i think it will be clocked higher.

also is it monolithic or still MCM?

Either way i don't think AMD can charge $600 for it, they may have wanted to but its also an oportunity to do it right, Nvidia are not going to drop the 4070 to $500, i think Jens would sooner stab himself in the eye with a pen.

MCM I think.

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

From Paul's Hardware:

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Ah but if you go one generation further down the GTX 770 was a lemon, too.

It was.

The 4070Ti should have been the 4070 and the 4070 should have been the 4060ti basically.

Technically the AD104 is really a GA106 replacement. So the RTX4070TI should have been an RTX4060/RTX4060TI! But even the change you suggested would have at least improved VRAM by 50% and it shows you how greedy Nvidia have been this generation,especially with cratering RAM prices.

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

So probably a 200mm logic die, 100mm smaller than the 4070.

That is what the rumours say.

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Underwhelmed is an understatement.

Then you went and bought one. So Nvidia knows it's market like Nvidia.

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

TBH I had not seen it pulling 180 watts at 3080 performance, that is less than my 3060ti, that and the extra vram pushed me over the edge.

It's 40% faster for 60% more money. It's literally a rebadged RTX3060 replacement so why it draws less power. We should be expecting that improvement each generation from direct replacements. I showed you the numbers. The RTX3060TI was that improvement over the RTX2060 Super with better efficiency too.
So don't ever complain again about the market - your FOMO has proven the Nvidia/AMD price fixing works just like Apple doing it to their own fanbase, who complained but still bought it.

Even if my 3060ti went kaput today, I would rather use the ancient GTX960 4GB in the cupboard then pay £600 for this card. Because if this game works I hate to think what the next generation will cost.

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

4/5 Months from now? Good Grief.... 2023 is nearing its end at that point, Navi 33 in January 2024?

Navi 33 is already out as the RX7600S in laptops,which seems very competitive with the laptop RTX4060 it appears.

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Did someone actually a ditch an RX6800 16GB for just 12% to 16% extra performance and 4GB less of VRAM:

A slight undervolt would have gotten it to similar power.

The PC dGPU market is doomed!

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

so 10 years+ roi at current rates, great save

Its worse as the difference is more like 30W~40W comparing reference models. So even if the model is not reference,it most likely was overvolted a bit.Hence a slight undervolt and drop back to reference clocks would have split the difference.

Edit!!

Undervolted AMD RX 6800 with 183 W TGP offers clues about an upcoming RX 6800M laptop-grade GPU matching the desktop RTX 2080 Ti

The RX 6800 GPU particularly efficient when it comes to undervolting, as its TGP can be reduced by 45 W down to 183 W. These figures are already laptop-friendly if we look at Nvidia's RTX 2080 Super mobility GPUs, so we can expect to see an RX 6800M GPU with 150-180W TGPs that matches the...

www.notebookcheck.net

Now, the RX 6800 is much more efficient when it comes to undervolting. The voltages could be lowered from 1.025 to 0.9 V, and this also allowed for a small fps boost across the board, yet the TGP could be lowered by 45 W down to around 183 W.

The RX6800 was the most efficient dGPU of the last generation.

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Yeah that’s quite something, don’t remember seeing anything like it especially from Nvidia. Quite a nice sight given the insanity of the past few years.

Apparently it was perfectly priced according to some experts here!

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

A colleague (friend) at work has offered me a 4070 for £300. It's about a month old and barely used - there's nothing wrong with it. It's the Asus TUF Gaming 4070.

I currently have a 6700 XT which I'd sell so it ends up being fairly cheap really.

I wasn't looking to change my gfx card as it does well enough for me but for £300 it seems a good deal?

That is a decent deal.
