NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card is now available to purchase globally for a retail MSRP of $599 US.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Hits Retail Shelves, Starting At $599 US For Reference & Founders Edition Flavors

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 was unveiled yesterday and we had a review featuring four cards, all of which retailed at the MSRP of $599 US. Today, PC gamers will not only be able to purchase MSRP models but also premium designs which are now available at various retail outlets across the world at their respective regional prices.

In addition to the launch, NVIDIA has released its latest GeForce Game Ready 531.61 WHQL driver which officially supports the newest entrant in the RTX 40 family.

Following are the retail listings from various US-based outlets:

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4070 is the latest addition to the Ada Lovelace gaming lineup and the green team is stating it as a tremendous upgrade for existing GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce RTX 2070 users. The graphics card also brings the pricing of the Ada Gaming lineup down to $599 US, being the most lowest priced next-gen card yet. Besides just adding more performance and efficiency, it adds a range of new features including:

New Streaming Multiprocessors (SM) – The new SM delivers up to 2x performance and power efficiency4th Generation Tensor Cores and Optical Flow – Enable and accelerate transformative AI technologies, including the new frame rate multiplying NVIDIA DLSS 33rd Generation RT Cores – Up to 2x ray tracing performance, delivering incredibly detailed virtual worlds like never beforeShader Execution Reordering (SER) – SER improves ray tracing operations by 2x, boosting FPS up to 44% in Cyberpunk with RT: Overdrive ModeDLSS 3 – A revolutionary breakthrough in AI-powered graphics that massively boosts performance using AI to generate additional high-quality framesNVIDIA Studio – Unmatched performance in 3D rendering, video editing, and live streamingAV1 Encoders – The 8th generation NVIDIA Encoder (NVENC) with AV1 is 40% more efficient than H.264, enabling new possibilities for streamers, broadcasters, and video callers

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 uses a cut-down AD104 GPU configuration with 46 SMs for a total of 5888 CUDA cores The GPU will come packed with 36 MB of L2 cache, 184 Texture Mapping Units & a total of 64 ROPs. The clock speeds for the graphics card are rated at 1920 MHz base and 2475 MHz boost clocks. The card offers 29 TFLOPs of FP32, 67.4 TFLOPs of RT, and 466 TFLOPs on INT8 compute output.

NVIDIA states that increasing the L2 cache by 9 times on the RTX 4070 versus the RTX 3070 (36 MB vs 4 MB) improves performance, reduces latency, & increases power efficiency, as data access can remain on-chip (rather than having to rely on memory bandwidth).

As for memory specs, the GeForce RTX 4070 features 12 GB GDDR6X capacities that will be adjusted at 21.0 Gbps speeds across a 192-bit bus interface. This will provide up to 504 GB/s of bandwidth. This is the same memory configuration as used by the RTX 4070 Ti and 4 GB more memory versus the 3070 series graphics cards.

As far as the power consumption is concerned, the TBP is rated at 200W. The card will be powered by a single 16-pin connector which can theoretically deliver up to 600W of power. Custom models will be offering higher TBP targets but are also open to using standard 8-pin connectors.
