GeForce RTX 4070 Listings Reveal Sticker Shock for Early Adopters
Vietnamese retailers are listing a number of GeForce RTX 4070 graphics cards from different brands. The surplus of trademarks and models clearly could point to a lot of hardware at launch, which is said to be days away. is.
A screenshot from Bpstore.vn lists GeForce RTX 4070 graphics cards from Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, and Zotac. I_Leak_VNPricing for these AIBs starts at VND17.9 million ($637 excluding VAT) for Zotac’s gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Trinity OC (premium product) to VND25.9 million ($916) for the pre-overclocked Asus GeForce ROG go up. Strix RTX 4070 OC Edition.
These prices are nowhere near the $599 Nvidia recommends. One thing to keep in mind about the preliminary listing, though, is that retailers tend to monetize on demand for hardware that hasn’t been announced yet, with AIB prices well above recommendations. about it.
We already know that these boards have pretty comprehensive cooling systems with three fans (and possibly more). They’re aimed at enthusiasts, which isn’t surprising given the price range we’re discussing.
Speaking of pricing, we’ll have to wait to see what kind of performance these cards offer before drawing any conclusions as to whether the GeForce RTX 4070 joins the ranks of the best graphics cards available.
Nvidia plans to launch its GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card in mid-April. However, many of its technical details have been known to the public for some time, despite not being officially disclosed by the company. It shares it with the 4070 Ti, but offers only 5888 CUDA cores running from 1920 MHz to 2475 MHz from the “Ti” version of the 7680 CUDA cores. Like its ‘Titanium’ counterpart, the GeForce RTX 4070 boasts his 12GB GDDR6X memory subsystem and 192-bit interface.
The GeForce RTX 4070 will use a scaled-down AD104 GPU but is projected to offer around 29 FP32 TFLOPS of compute power, matching the performance of the GeForce RTX 3080. Nonetheless, the RTX 3080 features 320-bit memory, which significantly exceeds the 504 GB/s bandwidth offered by the AD104’s 21 GT/s GDDR6X memory. Even the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti has excellent memory bandwidth (608 GB/s) compared to upcoming cards. On the other hand, newer graphics cards are expected to have substantial L2 caches, which may offset the limitations of slower memory subsystems.
