Nvidia RTX 4070 Super benchmark leak suggests this could be the GPU take down AMD’s mid-range champions

Nvidia’s RTX 4070 Tremendous graphics card – which ought to be revealed later right now at CES 2024, alongside two different refreshes – has witnessed some efficiency leaks within the type of benchmarks that counsel it’ll be sizzling on the heels of the RTX 4070 Ti.

These have been highlighted by Benchleaks on X (previously Twitter) as Wccftech picked up, and as ever, regard any such leaks with an applicable quantity of skepticism. Though at this level, the RTX Tremendous refreshes have a crushing weight of rumors behind them, so it’s actually plausible there are fashions of those graphics playing cards on the market being examined.

There are two Geekbench outcomes to think about, one in all which exhibits the RTX 4070 Tremendous scoring 195,384 factors within the OpenCL check, and one other which sees this card hit 219,237 within the CUDA check.

That makes the 4070 Tremendous model round 15% to 18% sooner than the vanilla RTX 4070. Wccftech attracts another comparisons with these benchmark outcomes, and factors out that going by the CUDA check, the incoming 4070 Tremendous is a whisker away from the velocity of the present 4070 Ti (providing 98% of its grunt, which is so shut that you simply received’t discover any distinction realistically).

Evaluation: Judging the worth proposition

We should bear firmly in thoughts that the massive caveat right here is that this benchmark is an artificial check, and never even a gaming one at that. It doesn’t symbolize real-world efficiency, and Geekbench isn’t the primary selection for gauging the energy of a graphics card for PC gaming anyway. (That’d be 3DMark for artificial testing).

So, there are extra causes to be cautious than this simply being a leak, however nonetheless, it does give us an preliminary pre-release barometer of what to anticipate from the 4070 Tremendous.

We are able to additionally examine this leak to current buzz on the rumor mill that the RTX 4070 Tremendous might be round a 15% uplift in comparison with the RTX 4070, and these benchmarks seem to again that up.

General then, it is a optimistic signal that the RTX 4070 Tremendous might be step ahead – and just about an equal to the RTX 4070 Ti, give or take. (That GPU is supposedly being scrapped and changed by the 4070 Ti Tremendous, in fact – which might be sooner nonetheless, sustaining an appropriate hole).

Efficiency is one factor, however pricing is the opposite key facet of the brand new Tremendous refreshes, and we’ve been listening to that within the case of the RTX 4070 Tremendous that Nvidia is ready to pitch this GPU at $599 within the US. That’s the present MSRP of the RTX 4070 itself (and it’ll be consistent with that elsewhere, naturally). Meaning the RTX 4070 will drop in value to make sense when in comparison with the brand new Tremendous, and supposedly Nvidia goes to shave $50 off the worth of the present graphics card (so it’ll be $549 – fairly probably decrease with reductions, although, which can be essential to make it a bit extra engaging in comparison with the Tremendous).

A recent rumor (from MEGASizeGPU on X) backs up that earlier pricing hypothesis – which purportedly comes direct from Nvidia within the case of 1 supply – so there’s extra weight behind these theoretical value tags (which additionally peg the RTX 4070 Ti Tremendous at $799 within the US, and the RTX 4080 Tremendous at $999).

The lengthy and wanting it’s that these newest leaks are very a lot underlining that Nvidia ought to be bringing forth some way more compelling choices when it comes to worth proposition within the RTX 4070/4080 area. Keep in mind, the present RTX 4070 Ti has an MSRP of $799, so that you’ll have the ability to get very near that efficiency with a $599 RTX 4070 Tremendous – in idea (representing an efficient value drop of 25%).

Nvidia does have to up its recreation on this specific upper-mid-range bracket of the GPU battlefield, thoughts, as AMD is dominating right here with its RX 7900 XT and RX 7800 XT specifically. With Nvidia’s particular launch occasion occurring later right now, seize your popcorn and keep tuned to our CES 2024 protection as we watch the complete spec and pricing particulars of the Tremendous refreshes unfold.
