NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Priced at $600
NVIDIA has reportedly set the retail MSRP of its upcoming GeForce RTX 4070 "Ada" graphics card at USD $600. This would put its starting price at anywhere between $170-200 cheaper than the RTX 4070 Ti. We know from reports of different review NDAs for "MSRP" and "non-MSRP" RTX 4070 custom-design graphics cards, that there is an emphasis from NVIDIA's side to ensure that every board partner has cards to sell at MSRP (this $600 price). The rather large price-gap between the RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 Ti should carve out room for premium custom-design RTX 4070 cards without treading too close to the cheapest RTX 4070 Ti.
The GeForce RTX 4070 is reportedly based on the same AD104 silicon as the RTX 4070 Ti, albeit heavily cut down, with just 46 out of 60 streaming multiprocessors being enabled, which work out to just 5,888 CUDA cores, compared to the 7,680 present on the silicon. Other specs include 46 RT cores, 184 Tensor cores, 184 TMUs, and possibly 64 ROPs. The memory sub-system is unchanged from the Ti, you reportedly get 12 GB of 21 Gbps GDDR6X memory across a 192-bit wide memory interface, with 504 GB/s of memory bandwidth on tap. NVIDIA is planning to launch the RTX 4070 in mid-April.

And for the 'testing the waters' idea... so tech press is helping Nvidia's marketing department now? Great fucking job then, thanks, I Hate it.
This is the way things have always been honestly new generations of gpu get features older ones don't support life goes on.
DLSS 3 is pretty niche anyways and only works well in single player games where the latency hit doesn't matter anyways.
Don't get me wrong I still think it will be a terrible product at 400 usd but what choice do gamers have anymore other than just not buy and stick with their aging cards as the only alternative or gamble on the used market I guess. Hopefully AMD has more appealing options at the sub 400 price point but I'm not holding my breath.
A $400 4060 that outperforms the 6700xt would be a good buy. More likely, we'll get a $400 4060 that just matches or slightly trails the 6700xt and keeps its $50 premium because raytracing.
The fact that as you say it will likely match or beat a 6700XT but offer 50% less vram is kinda sad the 6700XT isn't even a card I really like but If I had around 350 usd to spend on a card I would go with it over any of the 8GB options.
As for 4060, if it really is based on AD107 with 3072 cores, then that's a $300-350 product and that's pushing it. This card won't be much better than 3060, maybe 15-20%?
I think AMD could do well at <$500 price range as people don't care that much about RT with these weaker cards and N32 offers more flexibility with memory config coz its 256bit chip. So there could be some interesting SKUs from them. Not that excited when it comes to N33 tho, unless it's super aggressively priced.
All joking aside it's shaping up to be an awesome game that perfoms well on most hardware even the console versions seem pretty great.
