RTX 4070 THIS APRIL
4060 to follow, as 40 series goes mainstream
Graphics card prices are still too high. What we need is decent affordable mid-range kit.
SOME OF THE first outsiders to know about new cards from Nvidia are its partners, and the company has given notice that it is to launch the GeForce RTX 4070 in April. It will be the lowest-spec desktop version of its new Ada Lovelace architecture yet. Details are to be confirmed, but the 4070 will use the same GPU as the 4070 Ti, the AD104, but cut to 5,888 CUDA cores. If correct, it’s quite a drop as the Ti has 7,680 cores. It means yields on the wafers should be near 100 percent though. It’ll also have 12GB of memory on a 192-bit bus, but availability and pricing will depend on how many unsold 30-series cards there are.
