News RTX 4070 infused with slower GDDR6 pictured — New variant features 20 Gbps VRAM with 5% less bandwidth

[Admin]

Galax is purportedly preparing to launch an RTX 4070 with GDDR6 memory rather than GDDR6X. The new model will utilize 20Gbps modules, giving it 5% less bandwidth than GDDR6X-equipped RTX 4070 models.

The good news is that this memory change is unlikely to affect the RTX 4070's performance. A minimal 5% memory bandwidth reduction and the RTX 4070's large L2 cache make memory bandwidth less critical, making this change even less relevant.

I hope TH will perform a battery of tests and see how this change really does affect its performance. If it's more than negligible, I think Aaron Klotz should be made to do something a penalty, like buy beer for the whole office.

Will be perfect with the new 9700x No performance gains!

Overlock, ur literally starting at just 88W..

It’s pathetic that people are using a reduced tdp to make this claim when testing shows that at the same tdp as the last gen it has a significant MT and ST boost.
