The latest embargo document for NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card has leaked out by Videocardz. The new document shows that NVIDIA will be separating the reviews into MSRP and Non-MSRP takes.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card is going to be the latest entry in the RTX 40 "Ada" lineup. The graphics card is expected to sit around the $599 US price range which would be a slightly higher than its predecessor, the $499 US RTX 3070.
