GeForce RTX 4070 is designed for games in the format1440p at maximum image quality settings. Like other new generation models, the RTX 4070 received support for DLSS 3 frame generation technology.

The reference graphics card without DLSS outperformsby 22% on the RTX 3070 in Full HD games. The advantage over the RTX 3070 Ti is reduced to 17%, and in comparison with the RTX 3080 it drops to only 2%. But in 4K, the new product is 5% inferior to the RTX 3080 model. DLSS 3 improves performance by 30%.

Price and when to wait

The start of sales of the GeForce RTX 4070 is expected tomorrow,April 13th. The manufacturer's recommended price for the video card was $599. The novelty will appear on the market with 8- and 16-contract (12+4 / 12VHPWR) power connectors.
