The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is now available worldwide

NVIDIA released the GeForce RTX 4070 GPU today, a move that anyone who has been putting off a new mid-range PC has likely been eagerly awaiting.

It puts the company’s impressive Ada Lovelace graphics architecture within the reach of people who don’t want to spend $1,000 or more on a massive graphics card.

Available today April 13, starting at $599 for the Nvidia Founders Edition single fan model. As is always the case, other manufacturers like Asus, Zotac, Esports Extrasbyte, MSI and others are also releasing factory overclocked variants.

The RTX 4070 Founders Edition card requires a 650W power supply and connects via two 8-pin PCIe cables (an adapter is included in the box). Alternatively, it can be connected via a PCIe Gen 5 cable that supports 300W or more.

The RTX 4070 won’t require a huge case, as it’s a two-slot card quite a bit smaller than the RTX 4080. It measures 9.6 inches long and 4.4 inches wide, which is almost the same size as the RTX 3070. Founders.

Play at 100+ FPS at 1440p with DLSS 3

The RTX 4070 enables newer games like A Plague Tale: Requiem, Dying Light 2, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, and other demanding titles to exceed 100 frames per second, thanks to DLSS 3, as well as popular games like Battlefield 2042, Call of

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy support DLSS 2.

With DLSS 3, AI-powered frame generation creates new, high-quality frames for smoother viewing and gameplay, accounting for seven out of eight pixels in a scene. Exceptional responsiveness is maintained through NVIDIA Reflex, which reduces latency between devices and monitors.

Ray tracing performance has also improved significantly, thanks to advancements such as Shader Execution Reordering (SER), next-generation Opacity Micromap, and displacement micromesh engines. These innovations allow even the most demanding games to simultaneously implement multiple ray tracing effects or even full ray tracing, also known as Path Tracing, for realism and immersion.

This powerful combination of third generation ray tracing and DLSS has resulted in a 16x jump in ray tracing operations per Esports Extras in the last five years. Adoption rates have skyrocketed, with over 400 RTX games and apps available, with DLSS 3 adopting seven times faster than its predecessor.

Class-leading performance and features

Compared to the RTX 2070 SUPER, the GeForce RTX 4070 is on average 2.6 times faster with DLSS 3, and on average 1.4 times faster than the GeForce RTX 3080 with DLSS 3.

DLSS 3 gives Ada Lovelace GPUs a tremendous performance boost, but the GeForce RTX 4070 also excels at traditional games that don’t include more advanced features like ray tracing and DLSS.

In these rasterized games, the GeForce RTX 4070 is on par with the GeForce RTX 3080 while running at nearly half the power and offering an additional 2GB of memory. Additionally, the RTX 4070’s memory subsystem has been enhanced with 36MB of L2 cache and 12GB of ultra-high-speed GDDR6X memory.

Perfect for content creators

The GeForce RTX 4070 GPU is powered by the NVIDIA Studio platform, which enables content creators to work faster and smarter with RTX acceleration and AI tools. Serving broadcast creators to video editors, the platform powers 100 creative apps, provides stability with NVIDIA Studio Drivers, and includes a powerful suite of studio apps, including NVIDIA Omniverse™, Canvas, and Broadcast.

3D modelers render scenes in 4K with AI-powered DLSS 3 on NVIDIA Omniverse – a hub for interfacing existing 3D workflows, replacing linear pipelines with live sync creation for real-time collaboration – with 2.8x performance faster than last generation GeForce RTX 3070 Ti.

Streamers implementing NVIDIA’s 8th generation NVENC video encoder, with support for AV1, will enjoy 40% more efficiency. Live streams will appear as if the bitrate has increased by 40% — a huge boost in image quality for popular streaming apps like OBS Studio. AV1 is already supported on Discord with a full release coming soon to YouTube via OBS Studio.

Video editors will see 20% faster export speeds, thanks to the 8th generation NVIDIA encoder on the GeForce RTX 4070, along with AV1 built into the best video editing applications. And all creators will be able to take advantage of the new 4th generation Tensor Cores for AI tools, which provide a significant performance boost from the last generation.
