NVIDIA today announced the GeForce RTX 4070 "Ada" graphics card, with a starting price of USD $600, with availability slated for tomorrow, April 13. The GeForce RTX 4070 is a performance-segment graphics card based on the same "AD104" silicon as the RTX 4070 Ti, but heavily cut down—it features 5,888 CUDA cores, 46 RT cores, 184 Tensor cores, 64 ROPs, and 184 TMUs. The memory subsystem is unchanged from the RTX 4070 Ti, with 12 GB of 21 Gbps GDDR6X memory across a 192-bit memory interface.

The GeForce RTX 4070 targets maxed-out AAA gaming at 1440p, and high refresh-rate e-sports gaming. You get all of the features introduced with "Ada," including dual video encoding hardware accelerators, Optical Flow Accelerator, and DLSS 3 Frame Generation. The card has a typical board power of 200 W, and the company allowed board partners to use 8-pin PCIe power connectors instead of 16-pin 12VHPWR.Our launch day review coverage of the RTX 4070 (as on April 12) includes: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Founders Edition | PNY GeForce RTX 4070 | MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ventus 3X | ASUS GeForce RTX 4070 DUAL | Gainward GeForce RTX 4070 Ghost

NVIDIA company ensured its add-in card (AIC) partners have products priced at MSRP, by giving such cards an earlier review publication date. Premium overclocked cards priced above the MSRP will see their reviews go live tomorrow, April 13. Both MSRP and premium cards will be available to purchase from April 13. These are not two different SKUs, but simply that any card (regardless of its specs) carrying a $600 price-tag will be treated like an MSRP card.
