Reference NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Rumored to Launch at $749
According to the latest rumor coming from Moore's Law is Dead, the upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 could have a higher MSRP than expected, and could launch at $749. Yesterday, another rumor pointed out that NVIDIA is splitting the reviews for the GeForce RTX 4070 on two dates, with reference models that are sticking to MSRP going out on April 12th, and custom, higher-priced versions, a day later, on April 13th. The same date, April 13th, is when the GeForce RTX 4070 should hit retail shelves.
According to Moore's Law is Dead, the MSRP for reference versions will be set at $749.99, which is a bit more than earlier expected, and just $50 less than the launch MSRP for the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. The custom versions, or "premium" as some now called them, could start at $799.99.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is also based on the AD104 GPU, as the RTX 4070 Ti, but has 46 streaming multiprocessors (SMs), leaving it with 5,888 CUDA cores enabled. On the other hand, it is rumored to come with the same memory configuration as the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, featuring 12 GB of 21 Gbps GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit memory interface. The TGP is set at 200 W.
The performance is expected to land somewhere between the RTX 3080 Ti and the RTX 3080, or pretty much in line with the RX 6900 XT. Of course, a 50% bump in the launch price compared to the predecessor, the RTX 3070, leaves a rather sour taste.

I can't find a way to express my feelings without resorting to swear words, honestly.
The more you buy the more you save, he wasn't kidding.
It's funny, when 4k monitors are starting to be plentiful, the price of GPU will lake you think twice if you really want to go that route.... I'm glad I just bought a 1440p UW OLED, too bad they don't make OLEDs in 1080p, because upgrading your GPU will become a real financial effort.
In 4K those two cards and 4070 Ti are very close:
A bit steep for a mid-range GPU so another easy skip.
Good luck all.
3070 Ti vs 3060 Ti is 20% less CUDA and 16,6% less rops. and less bandwitdh, cheaper GDDR6, but whatever that doesn't matter. $200 less
4070 Ti vs 4070, 23,3% less cuda and 20% less rops, same bandwith, and only $50, wow NVidia.
4070 is a more cut down version of 3060 Ti even, and if it isn't at least $250 less. I'll have to eat my hat, literally, because i will live on 200 gr of lentils per day for 2 months in order to afford it.
However take special note that this is an 'MLID' rumor... there is a tiny sliver of hope this might end up in retail at 699... :D
But I generally value those statements at sub zero. Every idiot can guess where the next release ends up in the stack. The release of the top end SKUs already set the stage. This is corporate living in fantasy land, power to them, I'm a no buy customer kthxbai
Same goes for AMD who's still content with sellers peddling RX 6800 (-XT) at price/perf close to or over MSRP. The universal message from me shall always be 'go f*ck yourself'... I'll be buying a console long before I feel being forced into a bad discrete GPU deal, or I'll just stretch the current one that much longer, no biggie.
I don't understand nGreedias end game here. It's almost like they want to pull out of the gaming market for all the damage their extreme prices are doing.
The way this is going, the only affordable mass market gaming card will be a $350+- RTX4050, and knowing nGreedia, it will probably only have 6GB and a 96Bit bus.
It's sad,
but it is the reality we live in.
No need to bother with peasant PC "Master Race".
They want to switch to complete vertical integration in their products Apple style, i.e they no longer want to rely on board partners. The final nail in the coffin will be rising the prices so much that board partners can longer make a profit and they can start selling founders edition cards exclusively.
I bet this was also part of the plan with the abhorrently priced 12 GB "4080".
Nvidia, AMD, Intel, ASUS, Acer, everybody.
They are all greedy in that respect.
- Play PC Games from the 90's - 2000's era.
- Run Steam, GOG and Epic Launchers.
- Run applications like Photoshop and reWASD.
- Non-Laggy Mouse and Keyboard support.
- Run a browser with uBlock Origin support.
- Ability to mod my games and install fan patches.
- Convert movies to H.265 (NVENC) with Handbrake.
So for now i'll stick to a PC thank you every much.
