Full NVIDIA RTX 40 “AD104” GPU with 7680 cores and 400W TDP to match RTX 3090 Ti in performance

As usual, I'd take the power figures with a grain of salt more so than the rest as they could be testing out a custom AIB board. I do think the 70 series will be heavily held back due to the memory bus as as far as resolution is concerned. While it does have a lot more L2 cache compared to Ampere, it's still low so it will be targeting that 1440p where as a 3080Ti/3090 class GPUs will do better at 4k.

So, just to be clear about this hypothetical card that won't launch until 12-18 months after the launch of the regular 4000 cards: should we compare this 400W limit to the 3090 Ti's 890W limit or to the actual 450-470W that the retail cards use?

Because, if it's the former, well, it's kind of useless as no 3090 Ti can reach that power limit, making the comparation a bit flawed; but if it's the later... I don't know, I don't think that the 4070 Ti looks that impressive given that will use a new and improved architecture, much, much more efficient 5nm TSMC process and feature half the VRAM for only what, around 60W less?

Well it will be hard to tell until it actually comes out but most likely, it will be the former like Kopite's other leaks. Cause logically it makes no sense for a 4070 Ti to use 400 watts with only 7680 cores when the 4080 with it's 10,000+ cores will use 420 watts. I think the 4070Ti can spike to 400 Watts like how a 3070Ti can spike to 360 Watts but on average, it should be much less like how a 3070Ti generally uses 300sh Watts on average.

So a 4070Ti will be capable of handling 400 Watts but on average, it will probably be more so around 300 Watts.
