The RTX 4070 Founders Edition sports a dual-slot design, noticeably smaller than its RTX 4080 counterpart. The unique V-shaped PCB allows the secondary axial fan to be fully exposed on either side.
NVIDIA is set to release its RTX 4070 GPU, with the Founders Edition available for purchase. Unlike the non-Ti SKU, the company is encouraging more custom designs for this model. Even with its compact size, NVIDIA has incorporated a 16-pin power connector into the design, while most custom variants will utilize a standard 8-pin connector. Gamers have the option to connect up to four displays through a single HDMI 2.1 or three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors. The RTX 4070 is a versatile addition to the desktop Ada lineup, suitable for systems with or without power adapters.
This release marks the third Founders Edition graphics card in the RTX 40 series lineup. Although original renders were provided by Videocardz, additional images showcasing the front and power connector were shared by David Giannis.
Outstanding 1440p Performance with Ray Tracing and DLSS 3
In leaked slides, NVIDIA reveals that their GeForce RTX 4070 aims to deliver exceptional 1440p gaming performance, surpassing 100 FPS, while incorporating ray tracing and DLSS 3. Although official figures without DLSS 3 haven't been disclosed, prior speculations suggest that the RTX 4070's capabilities are on par with its predecessor, the RTX 3080. NVIDIA states that with DLSS 3 enabled, the RTX 4070 performs 1.4x, 1.7x, and 1.8x faster than the comparable RTX 30 series graphics cards.
The company boasts an impressive selection of games, both with and without Frame Generation, demonstrating the RTX 4070's substantial lead over the RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 2070 Super. It's worth noting that the RTX 3080 debuted at $699, while the RTX 3070 Ti launched at $599, the anticipated MSRP of the RTX 4070. Bear in mind that these figures are based on DLSS 2/DLSS 3 performance; thus, it's advisable to await reviews for more accurate information on actual performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. NVIDIA confirms that the GeForce RTX 4070 will be available on April 13th, priced at $599, the RTX 4070 Founders Edition is poised to challenge NVIDIA's AIC partners.
