The first benchmarks of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4070 Non-Ti graphics card have been leaked within the Geekbench OpenCL database.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Graphics Card OpenCL Benchmarks Show On Par With RTX 3080 & 19% Slower Than 4070 Ti

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is expected to feature the AD104-250/251 GPU core. The GPU will feature 5888 CUDA cores, and 12 GB GDDR6X VRAM clocked at 21 Gbps, driving the bandwidth up to 504 GB/s (a 12.5% increase over the RTX 3070), The GPU gets 36 MB L2 cache which is 9x higher than the RTX 3070's GA104 GPU.

The graphics card is expected to feature a 200W TGP so you're getting an 8% reduction in power compared to the RTX 3070. The slide also lists down average gaming power which is rated at 186 Watts or 13.5% lower than the RTX 3070 and 22.5% lower than the RTX 3070 Ti. This is in fact the same power consumption as the NVIDIA RTX 3060 while the card should deliver performance on par or faster than the RTX 3080 12 GB which consumed anywhere between 300-320W. That's a massive increase in efficiency.

In terms of performance, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card scored 177,594 points in the Geekbench 5 OpenCL benchmark which puts it just on par with the RTX 3080 but slower than its Ti sibling which is 16% faster in this specific benchmark. Although this is just one result and one that's reading "Invalid", the score should more or less be in the same range.

The lower performance is to be expected considering that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 comes with 23% lower cores and also gets lower clock speeds for the AD104 GPU that it utilizes. VRAM specifications and the configuration remains the same as the Ti model. Once again, it looks like NVIDIA will be mainly targeting GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB performance with native rasterization & faster than 3080 Ti / 3090 using DLSS 3.

As for the compute performance figures, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card features 29 Shader FP32 TFLOPs, 67 RT TFLOPs, 300 OFA, and 400 Tensor TOPs. The compute performance is on par with NVIDIA's RTX 3080 12 GB (30 TFLOPs).

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card is expected to launch on the 13th of April with reviews for the FE variant landing a day earlier followed by custom AIC reviews on launch day. The graphics card will retail at an official MSRP of $599 US though certain custom models with factory overclocks and better cooling designs will come at a slight premium.
