Palit's latest offering, the GeForce RTX 4070 DUAL 12GB, is powered by the NVIDIA ADA104 GPU. However, this time around, the configuration is more limited as it's offered at the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP). Boasting 5888 shader cores, the AD104 GPU drives the GeForce RTX 4070, capable of rendering rasterized graphics with an impressive 29 FP32 Shader-TFLOPS. The card also features 184 Fourth Generation Tensor Cores for AI processing and DLSS, and 46 Third Generation Ada RT Cores to support the next-generation ray-tracing technology. As with all GPUs in Nvidia's RTX 40 Series, the GeForce RTX 4070 comes equipped with Ada technologies such as Shader Execution Reordering (SER), the new RT core engines, and DLSS 3. Running at a clock speed of 2475 MHz (boost) with a TGP of 200W, this graphics card delivers excellent performance, perfect for those who prefer a subtle but simple aesthetic.
