Where To Buy NVIDIA's New GeForce RTX 4070 GPUs Starting At $599
We'll get to those in a moment but first let's recap where exactly this card stands in the Ada Lovelace hierarchy. It wields 46 streaming multiprocessors and 5,888 CUDA cores, along with 184 Tensor cores (4th generation), 46 RT cores (3rd generation), 184 texture units, 64 ROP units, and 12GB of GDDR6X (21Gbps) linked to a 192-bit bus.
Reference (or Founders Edition) specs call for a 1,920MHz base clock and 2,476MHz boost clock on the GPU side, and a 10,500MHz memory clock resulting in 504GB/s of memory bandwidth.
- RTX 4090: 16,384 cores, 24GB GDDR6X, 348-bit bus, 1,008GB/s bandwidth, $1,599 MSRP
- RTX 4080: 9,728 cores, 16GB GDDR6X, 256-bit bus, 716.8GB/s bandwidth, $1,199 MSRP
- RTX 4070 Ti: 7,680 cores, 12GB GDDR6X, 192-bit bus, 504.2GB/s bandwidth, $799 MSRP
- RTX 4070: 5,888 cores, 12GB GDDR6X, 192-bit bus, 504.2GB/s bandwidth, $599 MSRP
For 1080p and 1440p gaming, the GeForce RTX 4070 is a more affordable (compared to the rest of the stack) and power-friendly option within the Ada Lovelace lineup for smooth gaming. And being part of the latest generation means gamers have access to DLSS 3 with AI-powered frame generation.
In terms of availability, this is not a paper launch. Fortunately, the GPU landscape is very different these days compared to the height of the pandemic and the crypto-mining craze. Even the GeForce RTX 4070 Founders Edition model is in stock at the time of this writing (at NVIDIA's own webstore but not at Best Buy).
