NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Graphics Card Allegedly Launches On 13th April

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4070 (Non-Ti) graphics card is now said to allegedly launch on the 13th of April which aligns with previous rumors.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 will be the latest addition to the RTX 40 "Ada" family which was introduced last year. Twitter leaker, Hongxing2020, reveals that the launch date for the card is going to be the 13th of April which is still more than a month away but it does align with earlier rumors that pointed out an April launch.

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.

As far as pricing is concerned, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is most likely going to be closer to 600 USD otherwise there will be a huge price gap between the Ti and Non-Ti variants. The 4070 Ti starts at $799 US so the RTX 4070 may as well be priced at $599 US which will be a $100 US increase over its predecessor, the $499 US RTX 3070. NVIDIA has started clearing away older RTX 30 FE (Founders Edition) inventory which might be our first hint that this news story could very well be legit.
