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.

This is robbery, not profit.
after trying out 1080p144hz any refresh rate below 120hz felt too slow
having moved up to 4k144hz i can compromise on neither and get to enjoy the fuck out of games :D i tried out 1440p180hz but it's still not good enough, so 4k144hz was the obvious step forward and it's no going back for me, too good
By now i would have been on 4k/144 (yep im all about the eye candy) but seeing todays GPU prices I've lost all interest. 1440p for many years to come for me!
Taking nothing away from 1080/60... i had years of fun on this resolution/hz, actually more-so considering todays games are not as appealing as they once were other than the eye-candy and huge destrucible FPS MP maps (if you're into that sorta thing)
When building a rig there are many areas that can slow down your performance. You just have to know of them as well what exactly you want out of your rig.
Mine is a full blown multimedia rig that runs cool and uses low voltage compared to stock as well as what is being produced out there. Considering that my Electric bill doubled from last year I can say I did not have to worry about costs than those desktops that has a secondary function as a space heater. That might be great in the winter but not in the summer.
