All the focus has been on the RTX 4070 Ti of late, but we’re now hearing the juicy gossip on the 4070.
Nvidia’s RTX 4070 graphics card has been flying low under the radar of late, with all attention focused on the 4070 Ti which is supposedly about to launch, but now we’ve seen leaked specs for the lower-tier model.
Sadly, it’s not great news on the face of it, as according to leaker Kopite7kimi — a regular presence on Twitter when it comes to GPU spillage — the RTX 4070 will be considerably cut-down compared to the RTX 4070 Ti.
At least when it comes to the CUDA cores anyway, because as you can see, the RTX 4070 is set to purportedly run with 5,888 cores, a fair old dip from the max loadout of the AD104 GPU the 4070 cards are based on, which is 7,680 cores (the configuration the rumor mill believes the 4070 Ti will tout).
Also, don’t forget that this figure for the RTX 4070 matches the RTX 3070 which has 5,888 cores – though remember, architectural advances and other specs (like clock speeds) means a 4070 configured as this leak reckons will still be a good deal faster (there’s no chance Nvidia would have it otherwise, of course).
The better news is that while past speculation pointed to an RTX 4070 with 10GB of VRAM – a prospect that prompted a lot of bitterness in GPU-related online discussions, for sure – this leak pins a 12GB loadout on the 4070.
