RedGamingTech’s Paul Eccleston has shared a bunch purported information regarding what is apparently NVIDIA’s next GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics card, the GeForce RTX 4070. Unlike the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, NVIDIA will be releasing a Founders Edition of the GPU, according to photos that Eccleston shared. The GeForce RTX 4070 is also said to offer performance that’s on par with the GeForce RTX 3080.
Some of the claims made in the video include:
- GeForce RTX 4070 features 5,888 CUDA cores, 12 GB of GDDR6X memory, 250-watt TDP
- Performance roughly on par with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080
- GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Founders Edition wasn’t made because of the switch from GeForce RTX 4080 (12 GB)
- GeForce RTX 4070 will be released in Q2
From RedGamingTech:
We discuss our EXCLUSIVE info on the RTX 4070, including details on the 4070’s specs, performance AND exclusive leaked photos of the mid range RTX 40 GPU. In this video, we examine the 4070 specifications, gaming and ray tracing performance and look at our exclusive photos of the 4070 graphics card. But just how will the hardware specs and performance measure up to AMD’s RDNA 3 / RX 7000 mid range cards? And will the 4070 offer competitive enough MSRP price to be competitive in the price vs performance war?
RedGamingTech goes on to discuss the GeForce RTX 4090 Ti and GeForce RTX 40 TITAN, new flagships that NVIDIA is also supposedly planning. His sources claim that there will be a special edition of the TITAN to mark the company’s upcoming 30th anniversary.

I remember when I started building PC's, before discreet 3d graphics was a thing and the top games on PC were like the OLD warcraft or for higher end Dune, and Command And Conquer. Or triangle tanks for local lan play. (Can't remember that one.).
Back when knowledge was more important to grow than budgets for hardware.
Over the years it has all changed. Now if you want to learn how to build computers and enjoy gaming on them you have to spend a literal F-TON of money. This will prevent people from getting into the industry all together. No more home grown experts on IT stuff. It's sad.
I don’t know what you’re talking about in build cost. I used to spend my whole summer working to buy a build right around Labor Day.
My builds are all less expensive than what they used to cost. I spent over 2000 for my pentium 133 build. Over 3000 each for my p2 400, and p3 733 builds. My Athlon TBird build came in around 2500, and every build since that TBird has been less expensive and longer lasting.
Yep and those were high end builds then. Today y9u can spend that on a video card and still need to drop another 1k on cpu motherboard ram oh and a couple hundred for storage.. don't forget your kb, mouse, and monitor or monitors. Another 1k there to round out the set.. dang yea headset.. another 159 bucks... 500ish for a good chair and your closer to 6k than you ever thought you would be.
This is true if you're kitting out your workspace from scratch (you forgot the desk and the mood lighting :D), but you also don't have to go that far, of course.
It's still important to point out that 'high-end' isn't needed to game. If you demand to always have the very best experience, you're going to pay for it in this hobby - but still not nearly as much as many others. PC gaming is still broadly accessible, and accessible worldwide at that.
Perhaps the biggest draw of this 4070 FE will be how small the PCB is. Assuming that it'll also be pretty efficient, it will probably work very well in smaller builds, and also lend itself well to custom watercooling.
I often think about how much it would cost me to build from scratch, just for an o.k. 1080p gaming rig that surpasses a console, and I'm thankful that I've been doing it long enough to have multiple upgrade paths in place for things to offset most other sticker shocks. However, if I were to start from scratch it would take some effort to keep a complete build (rig, display, and accessories) at under $2K these days. I'm not saying it can't be done but it would be a challenge. I don't believe it could be done for under the price of a $600 console though and still outperform said console.
What do you need to pass a console these days? Will a 3050 cut it? You can get a 15" gaming laptop with a 3050 from dell for 749, so I'd think you could manage a desktop for less than that.
You need at least a 3060 to defeinitely surpass the PS5, and that costs as much as a PS5 digital version here in the EU. About $650 here. We used to be able to build an entire PC from that 2-3 gens ago that would eat a console for breakfast.
Also mind you a laptop 3050 is far from a desktop one. You'd need a 3080 laptop to even hope to match the PS5. Laptop 3080 < Desktop 3060
I have no idea how your builds got cheaper, unless you have been building lower and lower end PCs..
The last time PCs got cheaper was during the early 90s, it has been a constant upward trend ever since, with a giant spike at the RTX introduction.
I always bought the top end processor and video card (2x video cards with the 12mb Monster 3d voodoo2) , then spent extra money on SCSI raid arrays and extra ram. Eventually I stopped doing SCSI arrays and replaced them with WD Velicoraptors which was cheaper, then SSDs were cheaper still. Ram got way cheaper over time and SLI went away with AGP and I never really got back into it when NVidia brought SLI back.
On the AMD side of the house: the 6600XT would be a hair slower, the 6650 almost dead-on, and the 6700 (non-XT) a hair faster, than a PS5 - going off basic TFLOPS: which would probably be fairly close since all of those, including the PS5, are 7nm RDNA2
I’d also note; it used to be we were stuck for over a decade on a single Console generation, near the end of that cycle yeah, it was very easy to build a competitive PC when the console is coming up on 10 years old.
I'm not talking just end of generation, but the entire lifespan. Consoles used to be obsolete compared to PCs as soon as they came out. That's why we were seething when we got console ports. This is the first time a console is a viable alternative to a gaming PC, and not just the peasant way. All thanks to nVidia's greed, and AMD's ineptitude as a competitor.
Nvidia won't sell you 2 cards for 400 if they can sell you one for 800.
Same amd really.
Not the same cards but does have some relevance here:
For the past 3 years nVidia couldn't sell me shit neither as a private or corporate buyer.
but they can't sell me one for 800 (or at least not this one, a 4080 for around 800 would do)
My go to webshop has 4 different 4090's in stock,, 8 different 4080's and half a dozen 4070 Ti's, shit don't sell like the 3000 series, those were sold out for months after launch, seems they do not want to sell these.
