Apparently, NVIDIA may launch its new GeForce RTX 4070 on April 13, 2023 . The news was released by the hardware leaker @ hongxing2020 , well known for having revealed some exact dates in the past relating to other products of the well-known Californian company. The GeForce RTX 4070, based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, will be cheaper than its older sister, namely the RTX 4070 Ti, making it accessible to less demanding gamers.

The RTX 4070 will have the same AD104 GPU as the RTX 4070 Ti, but in a version reduced, i.e. equipped with 5,888 CUDA cores and with an operating frequency range between 1,920 and 2,475 MHz, accompanied by 12GB of GDDR6X memories on a 192-bit interface.
Even though the AD104 GPU has been heavily downsized, the RTX 4070 will offer a compute performance of approximately 29 FP32 TFLOPS, in line with that of the last generation RTX 3080. However, the RTX 3080 had a 320-bit memory bus and peak bandwidth of 760GB/s, significantly higher than the 504GB/s offered by the RTX 4070. As such, it's still unclear how the new card will perform. compared to the RTX 3080 in workloads where memory bandwidth is important, such as running high resolution games with anti-aliasing.
