Nvidia RTX 4070 Review ft. Gigabyte and Palit

Here we present frame rate figures for each graphics card, averaged across all 12 games on test today. These figures can disguise significant variations in performance from game to game, but provide a useful overview of the sort of performance you can expect at each resolution tested.

Overall, it's not a surprise to see the RTX 4070 performs, on average, very similarly to the RX 6800 XT at 1440p – the two GPUs were neck-and-neck in most of the 12 games we tested. The 4070 is a touch slower on average than the 3080, but only by 2%, so we'd call that a tie. The new Ada GPU is 19% faster than the RTX 3070 Ti, but 18% slower than the 4070 Ti.

As for 4K, frame rates were mostly fine at this resolution, but the memory bandwidth situation does mean the 4070 falls off slightly when the pixel count is increased. It's 7% slower than the RTX 3080 for instance, and now just 15% faster than the RTX 3070 Ti, though it remains level with the RX 6800 XT.
