A Vietnamese retailer has listed a variety of Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 graphics cards from different manufacturers. The abundance of trademarks and models can obviously point to a large amount of hardware at launch, which is rumoured to be a few days away. However, the pricing for these add-in-boards, which start at $800, appears to be quite high.

According to screenshots from I Leak VN, Bpstore.vn listed Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 graphics cards from Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, and Zotac. Prices for these AIBs range from 17.9 million Vietnamese dong ($637 without VAT) for Zotac’s Gaming Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Trinity OC (a premium product) to 25.9 million dong ($916) for a pre-overclocked Asus GeForce ROG Strix RTX 4070 OC Edition.

These prices are not even close to Nvidia’s recommended price of $599. However, one thing to keep in mind about the preliminary listing is that retailers often capitalise on the demand for yet-to-be-announced hardware by pricing AIBs far above recommended prices.

When it comes to pricing, we should, of course, wait and see what kind of performance these cards provide before deciding whether or not the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 will join the ranks of the best graphics cards available.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card is expected to be released by Nvidia in mid-April. Despite not being officially disclosed by the company, many of its technical details have been public knowledge for some time.

The GeForce RTX 4070 standard edition shares the AD104 graphics processor with the RTX 4070 Ti but has only 5888 CUDA cores running at 1920 MHz to 2475 MHz, compared to 7680 CUDA cores on the ‘Ti’ version. The GeForce RTX 4070, like its ‘Titanium’ counterpart, has a 12GB GDDR6X memory subsystem and a 192-bit interface.

Despite using a scaled-down AD104 GPU, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 is expected to deliver around 29 FP32 TFLOPS of computational power, which rivals the performance of the GeForce RTX 3080. Nonetheless, the RTX 3080 has a 320-bit memory bus and a peak bandwidth of 760 GB/s, which is significantly greater than the 504 GB/s bandwidth provided by the AD104’s 21 GT/s GDDR6X memory.

When compared to the upcoming card, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti has a higher memory bandwidth (608 GB/s). The new graphics card, on the other hand, is expected to have a large L2 cache, which will likely compensate for the limitations of its slower memory subsystem.
