Just a few hours ago, a rumor surfaced predicts that the GeForce RTX 4070 will be priced at $749 in its basic configuration and that custom models with high-quality finishes will be priced even higher, meaning they would be more expensive than the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, which is information that obviously makes no sense.

The source of this information It takes a while with credibility at minimal levelsand he was the same one who said late last year that NVIDIA would launch Ada Lovelace’s TITAN RTX with a 900-watt TGP. Taking it for granted that the GeForce RTX 4070 will cost practically the same as the Ti model is nonsense, especially considering the significant differences that will exist between the two graphics cards.

To better understand it, it is necessary to see the specifications of each of them face to face. Keep in mind that those of the GeForce RTX 4070 were not confirmedbut the most reliable leaks we’ve seen all point in that direction, so barring surprises, they should be met as is.

GeForce RTX 4070 specifications

Possible specifications of GeForce RTX 4070

• Graphics core AD104 in 5nm.
• 35.8 billion transistors.
• 5888 shaders at 2505MHz-2640MHz, normal and turbo mode.
• 184 texturing units.
• 184 tensor kernels of the fourth generation.
• 64 raster units.
• 46 cores of the third generation RT.
• 192-bit bus.
• 12 GB GDDR6X 21 GHz memory.
• 36 MB L2 cache.
• 31.08 TFLOPs of performance in FP32.
• 200W TGP.
• Price: not confirmed.

As we assumed, there is an important difference between the two. As we saw in our review, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti offers similar performance to the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, and looking at the lower number of shaders that the GeForce RTX 4070 will have, it’s clear that this rather, it will sit between the GeForce RTX 3080 and the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti.

With that in mind, it’s clear that it doesn’t make sense to sell her for the same price as her older sister, and that it also wouldn’t make sense to keep her only $50 off her older sister. There was a $100 price difference between the GeForce RTX 3070 and the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, which directly converted to a difference of 100 euros in Spain, so I’m inclined to think they’ll do the same with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4070.

Personally I think GeForce RTX 4070 Its price will be between 649 and 699 dollars, in Spain they will be between 700 and 800 euros.after taxes are applied. Positioning it in this lane would set it perfectly apart from the Ti and not be messed with. On the other hand, it would also rank better in terms of value for money.

I remind you that if all goes according to plan, the launch of this new graphics card will take place on April 13.
