Multiple Vendors List Nvidia RTX 4070 Boards Early

It isn't uncommon for hardware makers and retailers to list yet-to-be-announced products weeks before they should officially start selling. It looks like this trend is repeating with Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4070. At least four vendors are already listing their RTX 4070-badged products, perhaps as a way to generate buzz and interest among consumers ahead of their official release, as noticed by @momomo_us and @harukaze5719.

MSI briefly listed its GeForce RTX 4070 Ventus 2X 12G graphics board on its website. The listing indicated that the product would carry 12GB of memory onboard and would feature a cooling system with two fans suggesting that we are dealing with a fairly compact graphics card, one of the first for the Ada Lovelace microarchitecture. Obviously, this is a preliminary listing, but since it is an official website, we can be more or less sure that it accurately reflects what MSI plans to offer. That said, take the news with a pinch of salt until the official release date arrives.

    Waiting for the initial waves of buyers who have "more dollars than sense" to buy all this overpriced crap and then when sales tank, and prices crash, pick up something at a decent price these things should have been launched at.

    Price/performance scaling is so messed up.

    The 4070 is about 35% of the cores of a 4090 at about 37.5%+ of the price.

    The bottom end of the stack is over priced. Pricing the lower cards compared to the "halo" cards is just madness!

    The quoted price is only the very basic one and the first one to go out of stock, a couple of hundred more for a few Megahertz, even greater madness.

    Yupp, a few MHz you either get anyways because those cards run so cool they don't even come close to throttling temperatures, or which you can easily apply manually (and which you usually don't even notice because it's single-digit gains anyways)... I'm never gonna buy OC models again. They aren't worth the money.

    Just hope the rumours about the base cards being so power limited that they run slower is not true.
