RTX 4070 is more expensive than RTX 2070 at launch
The TechSpot resource decided to compare the GeForce RTX 4070 and RTX 2070 graphics cards in order to evaluate how much gamers have gained in two generations and just over four years.
Of course, the new 3D map is much faster. In Full HD, the average increase is 100%, that is, the new product is twice as productive, and in some games more than 2.5 times. At 1440p, the difference is about the same, but adapters have not been tested in 4K.
It is also worth noting that in a number of games the increase was only 50-60%, and these are fairly recent or very recent (like Redfall) projects.
GeForce RTX 2070 vs RTX 4070.
The authors note that a two-fold increase in two generations is quite a lot, and only a little more than four years have passed between the release of cards. At the same time, the RTX 4070 started at a price of $ 100 higher than the RTX 2070 came out at the time. However, there is a nuance. The fact is that the RTX 3070 compared to the RTX 2070 at one time showed an increase of about 60% and this is without a price increase. That is, the RTX 3070 conditionally increased performance by 60% for free. But the RTX 4070 raised it by another 40%, and Nvidia has already asked $ 100 on top for this.
That is, for an impressive two-fold increase in performance over two generations, we should first of all thank the RTX 30 line, and the RTX 40 is already much worse in terms of growth in relation to the price. But do not forget that the RTX 40 is much more energy efficient and supports DLSS 3.
Recall that this month Nvidia will release the RTX 4060 Ti, the prices of which became known today .
