The ‘unlaunched’ RTX 4080 12GB card has reappeared under a new moniker, the RTX 4070 Ti. This card is currently being distributed to reviewers, who will publish their findings early next month. However, it appears that some have already tested the card with Geekbench software.
The RTX 4070 Ti’s initial appearance in Geekbench confirms the basic specifications. The card has a maximum frequency of 2730 MHz, 60 Streaming Multiprocessors (7680 CUDA cores), and 12GB of memory, according to this entry. Those are the same specifications as the RTX 4080 12GB, which was later cancelled.

Geekbench OpenCL was used to test the card several times (no Vulkan or CUDA tests were available at the time of writing). We can average the score to 214654 points with those few runs, which is 45.8% faster than the RTX 3070 Ti in the same test (according to official Geekbench compute ranking).

This score is actually higher than the recently released Radeon RX 7900 XTX score (we’ve updated the chart to include the most recent runs with this card). However, OpenCL appears to favour NVIDIA GPUs, while Radeon cards perform better with the Vulkan API.
It goes without saying, but those are only brief simulated tests. With more advanced gaming workloads, the RTX 4070 Ti will almost certainly perform differently.
