NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Launch Date Set for April 13th: Leaker Confirms
NVIDIA's non-Ti version of the GeForce RTX 4070 might make its way to retail in April. Recent reports, citing the reputable Twitter leaker, hongxing2020, have specified the release date as April 13th. This leaker has previously been accurate in predicting the launch dates of the RTX 30 and RTX 40 series.
The GeForce RTX 4070 will be based on the same AD104 GPU as the RTX 4070 Ti, with slightly fewer cores but still boasting the same memory specification as the Ti version. According to speculations, this GPU will feature 46 streaming multiprocessors (SMs), resulting in 5,888 CUDA cores enabled. The memory capacity of this graphics card is expected to be 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit memory interface. There have been rumors about the possibility of NVIDIA offering three different SKUs for the RTX 4070, with 16 GB, 12 GB, and 10 GB of VRAM, but so far, there is no concrete information to support this. The TDP of this graphics card is rumored to be 200 W.
NVIDIA is working on completing the RTX 40 series lineup, and fans are eagerly anticipating updates on the RTX 4060 Ti and the RTX 4060. The company's founder and CEO, Jensen Huang, will be delivering the opening keynote at GTC on March 21st, where we may receive updates on the future GeForce lineup. Stay tuned for more updates on NVIDIA's latest offerings.

A friend of mine was trying to run an old game (Collin McRae Rally 2005) at 4K with SGSSAA on his 1660. It was stuttering. Runs perfectly on my 980 Ti. Is this the result of 192-bit vs 384-bit memory?
But it looses to 3090 and 3090ti which was supposed to beat. At 4k its severly bandwidth limited and soon memory limited even at 1440p. I would not buy such a card for 900eur.

Nvidia may need to be careful with the pricing on these. With all the recent driver improvenemets the Intel Arc offerings cannot be ignored.

Memory bus width is just a physical detail. The bandwidth the card can achieve in practice is more important. Better memory controllers and more advanced memory can produce higher bandwidth with a narrower bus than a wider bus on an older card with old memory and more primitive controllers. Nevertheless, Nvidia and AMD are more concerned about the cost of the components than the performance, so they love to make a narrower bus and use a lower number of memory chips (with a higher capacity per chip if needed). A large cache in the GPU can help with a narrow bus, especially at lower resolutions.
All that being said, 3070 Ti and 4070 Ti both use GDDR6X. 4070 Ti uses a bit faster memory chips, but it can't compensate for the much narrower memory bus in full. 3070 Ti actually achieves a higher bandwidth than 4070 Ti. To compensate, 4070 Ti has a huge cache memory in the GPU, compared to 3070 Ti.

3070ti has a huge disadvantage with memory capacity. 8gb is on the low side atm and you cannot compensate that for wider memory bus.
You saw in latest games it does not help if you are memory limited.
