The Nvidia RTX 4070 could come with a lower price tag than originally expected, as it’ll apparently match the RTX 3070 Ti’s MSRP. Naturally, is this great news for anyone waiting for a more affordable RTX 4000 card with Nvidia DLSS 3 capabilities, and it may also influence the price of future entry-level cards.

As mentioned above, the new 70-class card will boast Nvidia DLSS 3 and Frame Generation support, which should help midrange rigs boost fps further than ever before in the best PC games.

Not to be a killjoy, but we’d still recommend taking any and all pre-release graphics card rumours with a grain of salt, as Nvidia notoriously likes to change its launch plans. Nevertheless, the rumours point towards
