NVIDIA’s 40-series cards have been available in a few models since last year, but none of them were the RTX 4070, which the company just announced today alongside its official retail price. Of course, what NVIDIA charges for the MSRP of its in-house card compared to what its partners may charge is another story.
Not to mention the card could make its way to third-party sellers who will charge a premium, as has been the case since the 30-series cards launched a few years ago. But if you’re lucky enough to snag one at its normal price, you’ll be looking at paying a mostly reasonable $599.
Compared to the asking price of GPUs like the RTX 4090, the upcoming 4070 shouldn’t be out of the question for many PC gaming enthusiasts. Sure, it won’t have the performance power of the high-end cards. But if the absolute pinnacle of gaming graphics isn’t your main concern, it should serve to be a great upgrade for consumers who are on older GPUs. It may even be worth upgrading to if you’re on an RTX 3060. Of course that all depends on your personal wants as a gamer.
The RTX 4070 GPU will launch at a $599 price on April 13
Those who have been waiting on the RTX 4070 won’t have to wait much longer to purchase one. As NVIDIA confirms the newest GPU in its 40-series lineup will go on sale on April 13. It’ll be available from select retailers and should be available directly from NVIDIA. Though where you’re able to find one might depend on available stock. And considering the reasonable price, stock may not last long.
In addition to the Founders Edition card, the RTX 4070 will also be available from NVIDIA’s partners. Including PNY, ASUS, Colorful, Gainward, GALAX, GIGABYTE, INNO3D, KFA2, MSI, Palit, and Zotac. Prices for the partner models aren’t mentioned but they should be relatively close to what NVIDIA is offering.
Should you end up buying one of these cards between April 13 and May 8, you’ll get the Overwatch 2 Ultimate Battlepass as a freebie. Which comes with 2,000 Overwatch 2 coins, 20 tier skips and a bunch of other extras. Of course, you could also just sign up for GeForce NOW’s Ultimate tier which gives you RTX 4080 performance in the cloud if a new GPU isn’t in your budget.
