One week after the RTX 4070 Ti was unveiled at CES 2023, the “classic” RTX 4070 begins to come to fruition via a photo-captured Founder’s Edition box. These first images allow us to get some clues about the next graphics card from Nvidia.
Nvidia begins to work seriously on the production of its next RTX 4070. In any case, this is what we deduce from the photos shared by the RedTechGaming YouTube channel. We discovered the box of an RTX 4070 Founder’s Edition (Nvidia’s reference model), and in this case, this packaging looks authentic. It gives us some first clues about the future graphics card from the giant to the chameleon.
Expected at the “top of the mid-range”, this new model talks about it again just a few days after the launch of the RTX 4070 Ti: the first “Ada Lovelace” card offered under the symbolic bar of 1000 euros. The RTX 4070, meanwhile, should hit the market in the second half of 2023, around $600-$700 according to WCCFTech.
Towards a new design for the reference model?
Regardless, the packaging presented by RedTechGaming gives a first glimpse of the design adopted for the Founder’s Edition model of the RTX 4070. If we are to trust the visible cutouts inside the packaging, the card should be significantly more compact than the RTX 4080 and 4090. released at the beginning of the school year. The revealed photos still don’t allow us to have all the dimensions of the reference RTX 4070, but we still read there that the card would be 112mm wide (versus 137mm for the RTX 4080 and 4090). The mentions displayed on the back of the box finally allow us to have a first confirmation that the card will be PCIe Gen 5 compliant and will be powered via two 8-pin ports. Nothing new here.

On the rumor side, the classic RTX 4070 would be based on an AD104-250/251 GPU whose TGP is expected to be 200 W. There are no major differences between the AD104-250 and AD104-251 GPUs, except that the 251 model uses a slightly different consumption. , a little cheaper to produce and a little more energy efficient. Other leaked information also suggested that the RTX 4070 could feature a maximum of 5888 CUDA cores and 12GB of 21Gbps GDDR6X video memory. We finally learned a few weeks ago that Nvidia would launch full-scale production of this new reference in February.
It remains to be seen when its formalization could then take place. Without leaving predictions to the toe, a late May/early June presentation at Computex wouldn’t be surprising. In 2021, Nvidia, for example, took advantage of this window to formalize its RTX 3070 Ti and 3080 Ti.
