So far, Nvidia has released three graphics cards of the new RTX 4000 generation, specifically the RTX 4090, RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 Ti. None of them cost less than 800 dollars, but there is some light at the end of the tunnel.
At least the RTX 4070 will soon be the first Ada Lovelace graphics card that could be under 800 dollars – which is still a lot of money. A leak tells us when we can expect the graphics card.
RTX 4070 in April and in three variants
In an embargo letter intended for Nvidia’s board partners and the Videocardz leaked, the company states that the RTX 4070 should be on shelves by April 2023. No further recognizable information emerges from it.
This isn’t the only new leak affecting the mid-range graphics card. Kopite7kimi, who was often right in the past with advance information, names three different chip variants for the new graphics card.
According to the leaker, however, there will be little difference between them. At the same time, the RTX 4070 is expected to have 5,888 Cuda cores and 12GB of GDDR6X memory. The TDP is said to be 85 watts lower than the Ti variant of the card – i.e. around 200 watts.

No concrete information is yet available about the performance of the graphics card, but the performance of an RTX 3080 can be inferred based on the available data and the GPUs that have been released so far.
It will probably be more expensive again
If the graphics card really costs around 800 dollars, that would certainly still be far too expensive for a large part of the PC gaming community. It might be worth waiting for the RTX 4060, about which some information is already known.
However, according to the latest reports only
have the performance of an RTX 3070, which currently costs around 540 dollars. So the RTX 4060 shouldn’t actually cost much more than this. In reality, however, this could look different again. You can find out more about this here:

According to Videocardz, mass production of the GPU for the RTX 4070 is scheduled to begin in February. Accordingly, a publication in April would be quite plausible.
And once again we ask the price question: How much can the RTX 4070 cost at most in order to be interesting for you and how high do you estimate the price that Nvidia will choose? Write us your opinion in the comments!
