RTX 4070 12GB, is it Worth it?

We didn't need Intel to do that to know there was not a huge gap in memory prices, especially in this market where memory prices have come down.

It was always obvious Nvidia did it. Product segmentation and maxising profits.

You should know that very well. You keep buying Jensen's top SKU on release :cry:

Only the best for me
 
Moores Law is Dead is reporting the 13th April release of the RTX 4070 with a price of £750.

Would you buy a RTX 4070 at £750?

Personally no, might as well buy a 4070 Ti for £50 more, if can find it at that price, or just buy a 7900XT.
6700xt takes care of 1440p and down for midrange builds.
7900xt replaces the whole nvidia series for 4k and lower only exception is 4090 but you know pay double for it also.
 
So the pricing is official now, good stuff:

Not so good for MLID though.

TGP of 200w.

Looks like the rumoured shader count was wrong, as the diagram indicates more shaders than the RTX 3070.

There is nothing in the graphic that shows core counts, probably because they are the same or lower than last Gen. Nvidia trolling again :cry:
 
Well, I think you are being quite pessimistic there. It states '29 shader' on the graphic, which is higher than the figure shown for the RTX 3070.

As usual though, Nvidia is deliberately trying to obscure the details.

What does 29 shader even refer to?! The 4070Ti for example has 60 SM equating to 7680 CUDA cores (or 128 CUDA per SM). If we assume 5888 is correct this would mean 46 SM for the 4070 which is the only number being touted at the moment.

Oh hang on, are they referring to the Tflop performance in Mas FP32 when they mean "Shader"?! That makes even less sense as the other numbers quoted are the qty of units of each RT/Tensor/OFA and not their throughout..

Obscuring the details is pretty much bang on the money tbf.
 
Guys that slide is unreadable, it looks like it says 400 tensor cores, the 4080 only has 304.

I wouldn't read anything in to it, it looks completely fake.

Random numbers..... IMO its fake.
 
It's not fake. It's just mixing Gflops and TOPs and stuff like that.

It won't be giving counts.

OFA will be that optical flow thing.

edit:


RTX 3070 has 20.3 shader TFlops, 39.7 RT Tflops. Whilst not in the above link gonna guess 163 Tensor TOPs.

It will be 400 INT8 Tensor TOPs. RTX 3070 is 163.

Your the one who is reading a unitless number as cores.

Don't you think its odd that it has such a round number?

Okay... also, explain 67 RT cores when the 4070Ti has 60 and explain that against 29 Shaders, whatever that is supposed to be, 29 doesn't go in to 67 any which way.

I hadn't spotted that, good point. If that's the case, then the RTX 3070 TI has been rounded up to an FP32 of 22 TFlops.

I don't like how videocardz doesn't give a proper source / link to where they got the info from, the slide looks unfinished...

Also, the image showing the specs is really low resolution, and possibly photoshopped.

But a FP32 of 29/30 TFlops is about where I expect the RTX 4070 to be, especially when comparing it to the RTX 4070 TI, with a FP32 of 40 TFlops.

29 Shader TFlops. 67 RT Tflops.

You just need to check the links I gave. It's easy to work out using the 3070.

We are looking at a slide out of context. The purpose of this slide is clearly to say, their 3rd gen RT cores and 4th gen Tensor cores are way better. They are then providing the compute numbers.
