Nvidia RTX 4070 Review ft. Gigabyte and Palit

Cyberpunk 2077 is a 2020 action role-playing video game developed and published by CD Projekt. The story takes place in Night City, an open world set in the Cyberpunk universe. Players assume the first-person perspective of a customisable mercenary known as V, who can acquire skills in hacking and machinery with options for melee and ranged combat. Cyberpunk 2077 was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and Xbox One on 10 December 2020. (Wikipedia).

Engine: REDengine 4. We test using the Ray Tracing: Ultra preset. DLSS/FSR are disabled. DXR API.

Cyberpunk is one of the most taxing ray traced games currently – and that's without even touching on the new RT Overdrive mode! At 1080p the 4070 delivers just under 59FPS, where it is on par with the RTX 3080, but impressively 9% faster than AMD's much more expensive RX 7900 XT.

At 1440p you'd likely want to engage DLSS (which we benchmark later in this review), with 36FPS at native resolution it's not overly smooth, but the 4070 is still roughly level with the RTX 3080, but now a hefty 37% faster than the RTX 3070 Ti, with VRAM again a possible factor there.
