RTX 4070 Gaming PC sheds $230 as RX 9070 pricing revealed
Table of Contents
AMD’s RX 9070 pricing has been announced and it targets NVidia’s RTX 5070. With more competition in the market, expect last-gen RTX 4070 systems to tumble in price. That’s good news though, because 1440p gaming could get more affordable.
One such example is the MSI Codex R2 Gaming, a system that can deliver smooth 1440p gaming that has dropped to $1,369 at Newegg. The $230 saving is a 14% reduction on a PC that will boost the experience of anyone upgrading from a 1080p-focused system.
