The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 - Basic GPU Architecture and Design!

[@dominicshortbow1828]

I run the Zotac Rtx 4070 Trinity and it has been running great!

[@AzusaSnowflake]

Nice, mine Asus Dual 4070 is running great too!

4070 is a great card I just wish they coulda gave me 16gb instead of 12

[@mikakorhonen5715]

Technically not possible.

[@AntCrazyy]

@@mikakorhonen5715 I wouldn’t see why it has higher memory bus and everything compared to the 4060 (which ti version has 16gb ram that it definitely cannot handle and use all of it)

[@ProceuTech]

So the reason the 4070 has 12GB is because of the 192 bit bus. Each GDDR6X memory controller is 32 bits wide, and can handle either 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB modules- this means you either can get 6GB, 12GB, or 24GB with GDDR6/X. GDDR7 is set to release 24Gb modules (3GB), so we may be able to see more exotic configs in the future!

@@AntCrazyy 4060 (Ti) has 128bit memory bus, so options are 8GB, or 16GB.

[@AntCrazyy]

@@mikakorhonen5715 right but my point is that it can’t really USE it all to its full potential

You mean 4070 super?

[@dominicshortbow1828]

No one can get a 4070 Super rn. Anyways 4070 is still great

@dominicshortbow1828 I love my 4070 😍

[@cubeco2653]

the 4070 is fine preformance wise but the fact that it preforms essentially the same as a 3080 for only $50 less almost three years after the 3080 came out makes it a non starter for me. i will always be recommending a used 3080 or 3090 considering the 3080 is 200$ less than the 4070 and 3090 is about the same price but with SIGNIFICANTLY better performance in both gaming and productivity all of the 40 series is incredibly overpriced with the exception of the 4090 and it only gets a pass because no other gpu can even get close to its preformance

[@cubeco2653]

not to mention 192 bit memory bus in 2023 and thats AFTER the 3070 has a much better 256 bit bus

[@SB-mr2nk]

yeah I bought one and sent it back for a 4090. I didn't need 4090 performance, but the 4090 is for some ridiculous reason the best perf/dollar. I guess nvidia got me

[@AzusaSnowflake]

@@cubeco2653 Yes, But he will save more electricity bill, and will stay cooler and efficient, 3080 no brainer with twice power usage lol

[@jgig1329]

Obviously buying a used card is cheaper than a new one, what kind of argument is this lol that’s like saying the 3080 is a bad product because the used cards are cheaper than new. The 4070 has 3080 performance for much less power consumption and DLSS 3 if you care about that, it’s a no brainer to buy it over the similarly priced new 3080. If you prefer to save money and take on the used risk that’s of course reasonable but not for everybody.
