It seems that the pricing and specs of the upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 has been confirmed by VideoCardz. The website posted official slides that detail the expected performance metrics of the card. 

Based on the slides, we can confirm that the RTX 4070 will cost $599, same as the RTX 3070 when it launched in 2021. The slide also shows that the card will be built around Ada Lovelace, more specifically, the AD104 GPU and a bunch of other specs were also confirmed. 

The card will provide support for DLSS3 which will provide access to things like Frame Generation and Optical Flow Accelerator. There’ll also be support for AV1 encoding, which has been the norm since the release of the RTX 40 Series. Gamers will also get newer RT and Tensor cores. 

Interestingly, if the slides are correct, then the RTX 4070 Ti is set to ship out with 12GB GDDR6X graphics memory, and not 8GB of memory, as it was initially rumored. 

With 12GB of memory, the RTX 4070 is also getting an upgrade in its L2 Cache at 36MB, which is nine times bigger than the 4MB cache on the RTX 3070 Ti. The memory bandwidth, however, seems to be lower at 504GB/s, compared to the 608GB/s of the RTX 3070 Ti. 

The power consumption of the RTX 4070 will be lower as compared to the RTX 3070 Ti, as it’ll draw an average TDP of 186W, as opposed to the 240W of its predecessor. The card is expected to release sometime this month, more specifically, at the end of next week.
