NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti — Benchmarks & Specs

12 GB VRAM$799 MSRP

Short answer: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti generates a median 78.0 tokens/sec on 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp, across 9 cited runs from Markaicode, GPU-Benchmarks-on-LLM-Inference, Kunal Ganglani LLM Benchmarks and Hardware Corner. Its 12 GB of VRAM holds up to Phi-4 14B at Q4_K_M with an ~8K context, by the Will-It-Run matrix's sizing (13 of 23 models fit). At the $1,149.00 Amazon price checked 15 h ago (prices change), that is 67.9 tok/s per $1,000, the SpecPicks Value Index. That ranks #23 of 29 GPUs on tok/s per $1,000 in the SpecPicks value table (table built 2026-10-21 13:27 UTC).

Bottom line: how fast is the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti?

SpecPicks median: 78.0 tokens/sec across 9 cited single-user runs of 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp (range 42.1–97.0 tok/s), from Markaicode, GPU-Benchmarks-on-LLM-Inference (4 runs), Kunal Ganglani LLM Benchmarks, Hardware Corner (3 runs). At the $1,149.00 Amazon price of the cheapest linked listing (checked ; prices change), that is a SpecPicks Value Index of 67.9 tok/s per $1,000. One of those runs: llama3.1:8b at q4_K_M generates 97.0 tokens/sec under llama.cpp, per Markaicode. At 1440p Ultra, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti averages 127 fps in Far Cry 6, per Beebom. In PassMark G3D Mark it scores 31,573 pts, per PassMark. Its 12 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card is deepseek-r1:14b (14B parameters, q4_K_M), generating 49.7 tokens/sec under llama.cpp, per geerlingguy/ai-benchmarks.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from; the SpecPicks median is computed here from the runs it names, each a row in the AI table, and the per-$1,000 figure divides it by the dated listing price. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.

AI Inference Performance

Tokens per second under each model + quantization. Higher = faster generation. Bars compare runs across the same model.

Local LLM inference throughput on the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, in generated tokens per second for a single request (one user's generation speed). Higher is better; each row links to the community report or benchmark database it came from.
