MSI RTX 4070 Gaming X Trio and Ventus 3X Series Leak Ahead of Launch
MSI has been rumored to have at least eight different models of the upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card, and two of them, the RTX 4070 Gaming X Trio and RTX 4070 Ventus 3X, have now leaked online, ahead of the launch scheduled for next week. What makes it interesting is that this will be the first RTX 40 series graphics card that will be able to come without the 16-pin 12VHPWR connector.
MSI's Gaming X Trio, as the more premium edition, will be a 2.5-slot design with triple-fan cooler, have more RGB effects, and will feature the 16-pin 12VHPWR connector. The MSI RTX 4070 Ventus 3X as a more budget-oriented SKU, will have a triple-fan cooling system but only takes two slots, and it needs a single 8-pin PCIe power connector. While both are factory-overclocked models, it is obvious that the MSI RTX 4070 Gaming X Trio will have a higher overclocking potential.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is still rumored to launch on April 13th, aiming at MSRP of $599. The MSI RTX 4070 Gaming X Trio will most likely be a more expensive version, with only the Suprim edition being more expensive. The Ventus 3X and Ventus 2X series is expected to be closer to the MSRP.

I'm not in a hurry buying a new GPU, for now I can still play my games with the fps I like, @1440p.
I might just wait for the Nvidia 5000 series...
Also would be a nice bonus if I can keep my current 750W Gold Seasonic Focus + PSU with a GPU upgrade.
(My current is 4770k +16gb 1600Mhz + GTX 970, i've been thinking bout getting a R7 7700, 32GB 5200 + 4070 since i play on a 3440x1440@144 monitor)
Does a 970 even support 4K?.. :D
Can someone please wake me up when they drop down to ~$299 or so ?
Cause that's when I might consider buying one, but of course by then, the $7k 8090ti SuperDuperMegaGamminMaxUberOCHectagonagalDelutzSpecialQuadzLimitedEdition will be out, and I'll just get that instead :D
3080 performance, decent amount of VRAM and a very low TDP. With an undervolt and a capped framerate, it will draw 100-150 W in most games.
This will probably be the most attractive 40-series card. The 4060s are DOA with 8 GB of VRAM. Many clueless people will unfortunately get suckered into buying those cards, which will become obsolete very quickly.
But this gigantic increase in pricing puts things in a different perspective. Buying a new card with 8 GB is now pointless, and 12 GB is just on the limit. 16 GB should be enough until the end of this console generation, possibly two more years, at least when it comes to texture quality.
