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 Ultra preset, FSR disabled, DX12 API.

As for Cyberpunk 2077, at 1440p we see the RTX 4070 averaging just under 73FPS, making it just 12% faster than the RTX 3070 Ti. It's also about 7% slower than the RTX 3080, and not much faster than the RX 6800. In fact, it's 8% slower than the 6800 XT, a GPU that released for £599 about two and half years ago.

As we expected coming into this review, performance does fall off at 4K due to the 4070's limited memory bandwidth. It's now 13% slower than the RTX 3080, when it was 7% slower at 1440p, while it's just 10% faster than the RTX 4070. Frame rates aren't wonderful in Cyberpunk at 4K so you'd likely play at 1440p anyway, but this is a trend we will see throughout our testing today.
