The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is now expected to launch in the month of April. According to information procured by popular leakster site, Videocardz, the alleged information was recently shared by the GPU brand itself, albeit with certain details blanked out or pixelated.
Specifically, the on-shelf launch date for the non-Ti RTX 4070 is set simply for the month of April. When exactly in the month, though, is yet to be determined, as the actual announcement of the product is still listed as “TBD”. Also, by the looks of it, the GPU’s model number, PG141-SKU343, denotes that this card will be using the AD104-250-A1, which is identical to the PG141-SKU344 GPU used in the assembly of what is believed to be the Founders Edition of it.

On that note, if that last bit is to be believed, then we can expect to see NVIDIA return to form with an RTX 4070 Founders Edition (FE), given that the brand skipped a series with the Ti version of the GPU. Whether or not it will be almost as big as the current FE cooler design is still up in the eye and frankly, anybody’s guess.
Beyond that, there isn’t any further detail about the RTX 4070. However, based on earlier rumours, the new mid-range GPU is expected to feature 5888 CUDA Cores, 12GB of either GDDR6X or GDDR6 graphics memory – that last detail is still in limbo as well, as the rumours on the subject are still divided. Since this is technically a watered down version of the more powerful Ti version, the card is also expected to operate with a lower TDP of 200W.
