NVIDIA AD104-250 GPU For Upcoming GeForce RTX 4070 Graphics Card Pictured

The first die shot of the Ada AD104 GPU powering the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card has leaked out.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 will be the next addition to the GeForce RTX 40 desktop graphics card family. This particular GPU will be utilizing the AD104 GPU which is the same one used by GeForce RTX 4070 Ti graphics cards but the specific SKU is the AD104-250 which is a cut-down configuration with lower cores. This GPU has been leaked by MEGAsizeGPU and it looks like the particular SKU was produced in the 48th week of 2022 which happens to be late November 22.

Following is a comparison of all the known Ada GPU dies for desktop graphics cards. (Credits to TechpowerUP GPU Database for the AD102/AD103/AD104 die shots).

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Graphics Card "Rumored" Specifications

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is expected to feature the AD104-250/251 GPU core. The GPU will feature 5888 CUDA cores, and 12 GB GDDR6X VRAM clocked at 21 Gbps, There seem to be three PCB boards designed for the GeForce RTX 4070 graphics cards, two of which we had pointed out last month and another one has been revealed by Kopite7kimi. Two of these are for the reference cards while one is for the Founders Edition as listed below:

The graphics card is expected to feature a 200W TGP which featured a 220W TGP so you're getting a 10% reduction in power. Also, another interesting thing to note is that the GeForce RTX 4070 core config is very similar to the RTX 3070 which also features 5888 cores but the successor houses the Ada GPU core which should not only bring extra performance but also higher efficiency. The card is also reportedly clocked at 1920 MHz base and 2475 MHz boost clocks which gives it just around 30 TFLOPs of compute power.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card is expected to launch in April 2023 for a price close to $500 US.
