The RTX 4070 runs on a cut down version of the AD104 GPU based on the company's latest Ada Lovelace architecture. Compared to the RTX 4070 Ti that uses the same GPU, the RTX 4070 has 5888 CUDA cores versus 7680 and can boost up to 2475MHz versus 2610MHz. Memory is the same on both; 12GB GDDR6X with a 192-bit bus, 21Gbps speed, and 504GBps bandwidth.
Like the other 40-series cards, the RTX 4070 includes the 3rd generation RT cores and 4th generation Tensor cores, which enables features such as shader execution reordering, and DLSS3 frame generation. There's also the 8th generation NVENC encoder for encoding in AV1, although there's just one of those on the RTX 4070 compared to two on the other 40-series cards.
The 4070 has a total graphics power of 200W, with a claimed average gaming power of 186W.
