Little by little, the Ada Lovelace generation of GeForce is becoming more accessible to the average person.
Launched last November, the GeForce RTX 4000 series had unleashed the passions. On the one hand, the power of the flagship RTX 4090 and its little sister RTX 4080 was quite remarkable. On the other hand, you also had to be a good negotiator with your banker in order to benefit from it: at almost 2,000 euros for the RTX 4090 and a price of around 1,500 euros for the RTX 4080, the PC gamer's paradise was virtually inaccessible. Unfortunately, the release of the RTX 4070 Ti a few weeks ago did not change this situation sufficiently. The card is certainly cheaper, but the prices are still around 1,000 euros.
Fortunately, stocks of RTX 3000s - the previous generation - seem to be dwindling at NVIDIA and its partners. In fact, the American company is slowly moving the GeForce RTX 4000 downmarket and rumors have begun to surface that the RTX 4060 / 4060 Ti may be released sometime this summer. Closer to home, it's the GeForce RTX 4070 that might make some people happy. Of course, it will probably not be a card for less than 500 euros, but we can already be confident that it will be closer to the 800/900 euros mark.
For the moment, NVIDIA has not confirmed anything about what will follow, but several sources relayed by Videocardz converge to evoke a release of the GeForce RTX 4070 during the month of April. The card will have a slightly smaller GPU than the RTX 4070 Ti - which is logical - but with 5,888 CUDA cores and an estimated 29 TFLOPS of raw computing power. The graphics card would be accompanied by 12GB of GDDR6X video memory on a 192-bit interface bus. In the end, we are talking about a bandwidth of 504 GB/s, as much as the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. On the other hand, the TDP would be significantly lowered: we are talking about 200 Watts when the big sister teases the 285 Watts.
