GPU enthusiasts have been eagerly waiting for NVIDIA to drop the RTX 4070 GFX cards, and as per the latest reports, their pricing points have just been unveiled. NVIDIA might finally look to find some common ground with its customers, since the RTX 4070 will reportedly be priced at $599, as compared to its big brother, the RTX 4070Ti, which is priced at $799.
At $599, the RTX 4070 is definitely more wallet-friendly than the RTX 4070 Ti, which had an initial price tag of $899. The Ti model was originally called RTX 4080 12GB, but after some backlash from the gaming community, NVIDIA decided to pull the card from the market. It was later rebranded and released for $799 a few weeks later.
The GeForce RTX 4070 is expected to have the same 192-bit 12GB GDDR6X memory subsystem as the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, but with fewer active CUDA cores. It is unclear how well the GeForce RTX 4070 will perform as a graphics card, but it is definitely good to hear that its price point is lower than the 4070 Ti.
Interestingly, the RTX 4070 pricing seems to be on par with that of the RTX 3070 Ti, which has remained fairly consistent even after 1.5 years since its launch in June 2021. At $599, the Graphics Card would be a great option for those who are looking to upgrade to a high-performance card to support AAA titles, even for the next couple of years or more. Making PCs future-proof is a thing of the past. Even the most high-end computers of today may struggle to run the latest software and games in the future. Additionally, emerging technologies such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and machine learning require significant processing power and specialized hardware that may not be available in current PCs. Furthermore, as new technologies continue to emerge, it is likely that they will require even more powerful hardware, rendering current systems obsolete. With the stabilizing prices of GPUs, one can at least be reassured that it won’t break the bank while spending on a new GPU upgrade in the future.
