In recent weeks, a sensational rumor suggested that the RTX 4070 would cost less than expected, targeting the RTX 3070 Ti’s MSRP with many more weapons under the hood, starting with far superior energy efficiency.
Under the body should be the AD104 chip with a much lower core count compared to the RTX 4070 Ti, while retaining the same memory profile, therefore 12 GB GDDR6, again on a 192-bit bus at 21 Gbps, but the bandwidth should be reduced from 608 to 504 GB/s. Net of this, it could seriously be the most interesting card of the entire lineup together with the flagship RTX 4090.
The latest rumors, as well as confirming the price MSRP of $599 (for Europe for the RTX 3070 Ti it was originally 619 euros, then increased to 649), they also suggest very low consumption: Videocardz suggests, net of the 200W TGP, an average in-game consumption of 186W (between other, the RTX 4070 should have the “old” connector on some custom), although these are all numbers to be verified and which are not currently confirmed in any official press release from the brand.
After the warm welcome reserved to the RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 Tiit is hoped that this card will really change the fortunes of the generation by putting high efficiency on the plate at a price that is finally approachable for the wider public, all supported by proprietary technologies including DLSS3, which in this price range could seriously make the difference.
