It so happened that the $799 GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is a budget graphics card (by the standards of the GeForce RTX 40 series). It seems this will not last for very long.
Journalists obtained information from sources that NVIDIA intends to release two graphics chips based on the Ada architecture.
The tentative GeForce RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 Ti may enter production in the second half of February. They will reportedly be based on cut-down AD 104 chips.
For instance, reports indicate that they will use the AD104-251 chip and the PG141 printed circuit board used in the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. This means partners will not need to dedicate significant engineering resources to organize production of the new models.
The price of the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 graphics cards is expected to be below $799.
