Nvidia’s purportedly imminent RTX 4070 Ti has popped up in a leaked benchmark on Twitter, displaying the GPU edging out AMD’s RX 7900 XTX to the shock of many – however don’t get carried away with that concept (we’ll come again to why in our evaluation).

The Geekbench consequence for the graphics card was shared by Benchleaks (as noticed by VideoCardz (opens in new tab)), and as ever with pre-release leaks, we must always keep in mind that it won’t be real.

We will see that the RTX 4070 Ti achieves a rating of 214,654 for the OpenCL take a look at in Geekbench 5. That’s 45% faster than its predecessor, as VideoCardz observes, and a pair of% sooner than AMD’s new RDNA Three flagship.

Furthermore, some spec particulars are imparted that match earlier leakage – the presence of seven,680 CUDA Cores, notably, once more underlining that this GPU ought to have the total loadout of cores for the AD104 chip – and we additionally get a glimpse of the enhance velocity right here.

The latter is fascinating as a result of it’s totally different from the leaks we’ve already seen, being pegged at 2,730MHz slightly than 2,610MHz.

Evaluation: Doesn’t compute…

A 45% generational bump could be very spectacular, after all, however there’s a heap of caveating to be achieved right here. We will’t put an excessive amount of religion in a single benchmark, particularly a leaked one, and on this case, Geekbench OpenCL is a compute take a look at for GPUs. What we actually want are gaming metrics, and most of all, real-world in-game benchmarks, and plenty of them (as outcomes can fluctuate significantly from recreation to recreation when evaluating totally different graphics playing cards).

As for the RTX 4070 Ti outdoing AMD’s new RX 7900 XTX – that’s clearly not proper. That is the case as a result of Nvidia GPUs (and drivers) are merely higher at this specific compute take a look at than AMD’s playing cards, which underlines simply why you possibly can’t put an excessive amount of weight on a single benchmark consequence.

Apart from the rating itself, there’s additionally that enhance velocity to think about, which doesn’t match one other current rumor, as famous above. What we assume has occurred right here is that whereas the RTX 4070 Ti has a lift of two,610MHz, it has been overclocked on this take a look at to 2,730MHz. In different phrases, we absolutely anticipate that the 4070 Ti may have the identical enhance velocity because the canceled RTX 4080 12GB (it’d be very odd if it was sooner, in any case, being a lower-tier card in its new incarnation).

With an increasing number of leaks showing for the RTX 4070 Ti, this additionally suggests the hypothesis a couple of CES launch is on the cash, and that we are going to see this GPU ushered onto the stage at Nvidia’s keynote on January 3 (adopted by it being on cabinets swiftly come January 5).

And regardless of the efficiency degree seems to be, players gained’t be scrutinizing that a lot as the worth/efficiency ratio, which is the actually telling side – will the RTX 4070 Ti be good worth? We’re not hopeful, sadly, for a very good consequence on that rating, however you by no means know…
