Just as promised, Nvidia went live with its CES keynote this afternoon and as expected, the RTX 4070 Ti was officially announced. As many predicted, this is indeed the same GPU we were due to see on the 12GB RTX 4080 graphics card, which was swiftly ‘unlaunched' in November following criticism over the 4080 branding and the power difference between the proposed 12GB version and the 16GB version.
With this particular GPU now renamed and relaunched, it is time to take a second look. Nvidia claims the RTX 4070 Ti will offer performance comparable with the RTX 3090 Ti at a lower price tag. While the 12GB RTX 4080 was going to launch at £949, the price tag has since been revised. Nvidia is announcing the RTX 4070 Ti with a £799 price tag instead, which isn't necessarily a bargain, but it is still better than what was originally planned.
In the table below you can see the RTX 4070 Ti's specs compared to the RTX 4080 and RTX 4090:
| GPU | RTX 4090 | RTX 4080 | RTX 4070 Ti |
| Process | TSMC N4 | TSMC N4 | TSMC N4 |
| SMs | 128 | 76 | 60 |
| CUDA Cores | 16384 | 9728 | 7680 |
| Tensor Cores | 512 | 304 | 240 |
| RT Cores | 128 | 76 | 60 |
| Texture Units | 512 | 304 | 240 |
| ROPs | 176 | 112 | 80 |
| GPU Boost Clock | 2520 MHz | 2505 MHz | 2610 MHz |
| Memory Data Rate | 21 Gbps | 22.4 Gbps | 21 Gbps |
| L2 Cache | 73729 KB | 65536 KB | 49152 KB |
| Total Video Memory | 24GB GDDR6X | 16GB GDDR6X | 12GB GDDR6X |
| Memory Interface | 384-bit | 256-bit | 192-bit |
| Memory Bandwidth | 1008 GB/Sec | 716.8 GB/Sec | 504 GB/Sec |
| TGP | 450W | 320W | 285W |
All of Nvidia's new RTX 40 series graphics cards make use of the new ADA architecture, paving the way for new features like Shader Execution Reordering (SER), which reschedules shading workloads on the fly to better utilise the GPUs. These new graphics cards are also capable of DLSS 3 with Frame Generation. The latest version of DLSS can predict how the scene is supposed to change and then generate entirely new frames for the image. This enables even bigger performance gains for both CPU-bound and GPU-bound titles. However, this does come at the cost of additional latency due to the extra frames being inserted.
The RTX 4070 Ti will be available later this week on the 5th of January, so expect to see plenty of reviews and benchmarks over the coming days.
