Colorful inadvertently confirms that the RTX 4070 Ti will be the renamed 12GB version of the RTX 4080. Additionally, Benchleaks tweets reveal performance scores of the product in Geekbench 5 software, somewhat indicating the forthcoming performance of the Ada Lovelace GPU.
If there are no changes, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti will utilize the AD104 chip die with 7680 CUDA cores, 12GB GDDR6X VRAM clocked at 21 Gbps, and a 192-bit memory interface. With this configuration, the RTX 4070 Ti may not become the most powerful GPU, but it will certainly rank among the top graphics cards.
In terms of clock speed, the RTX 4070 Ti is rumored to run at a base clock of 2130 MHz and a boost clock of 2610 MHz. However, in benchmark images, the product is running at a clock speed of 2730 MHz. The version being used for testing may be an OC version from the factory or manually overclocked by the tester.
Benchleaks discovered a range of 6 different scores between 207,528 and 219,504 points for the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti in OpenCL testing. All 6 tests utilized the same system comprising an Intel Core i7-12700 (Alder Lake) CPU and DDR4-3600 64GB RAM. Therefore, for comparison purposes, the article will utilize the highest score of 219,504 points, noting that OpenCL scores may not reflect gaming performance.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti performs admirably in OpenCL benchmarks, positioning itself between the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti and the GeForce RTX 3090. It boasts a 7.1% performance gain over the RTX 3090 and falls behind by 4.7% compared to the RTX 3090 Ti. When pitted against its predecessor, the RTX 3070 Ti, this Ada-based graphics card shows a significant 48.1% improvement in OpenCL performance.
Primate Labs Inc., the developer behind Geekbench 5, has yet to include scores for AMD's latest RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX in their database. This might be due to limited usage by users for benchmarking purposes. However, the sparse data available still showcases the Radeon RX 7900 XT's stellar performance, scoring 201.195 points in OpenCL tests.
As a result, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti achieves outstanding performance, surpassing its RDNA3 architecture-based competitor by 9.1%. Nonetheless, Nvidia's upcoming graphics card still falls slightly short compared to the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, scoring approximately 5.6% lower in OpenCL performance.
A reputable leaker specializing in hardware leaks has revealed that the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is set to hit shelves as early as January 5th. However, Nvidia's pricing strategy for this graphics card remains undisclosed.
It's highly likely that the product will be priced similarly to the RTX 4080 12GB, which retails at $899 USD. There isn't much hope for Nvidia to reduce the price of the RTX 4070 Ti, as other products in the market are following a trend of price hikes and are already exorbitantly priced.
