Keen to know the RTX 4070 release time prediction? We can’t make any exact promises but read on for our closest approximation.

The latest GPU from Nvidia is a forthcoming release hotly anticipated by gamers across the world. The 4070 is will shortly be available. Speculation is rising about exactly what time the RTX 4070 will hit the shelves. Here at PC Guide, we’ve done our best to cover the forthcoming release when it comes to the specs of the 4070.

Similarly, we’ve had a good crack at working out the RTX 4070 release time prediction. So, read on for our lowdown on the possible time this new GPU will be released.

When will the RTX 4070 be released?

It’s official: Nvidia has confirmed that the GeForce RTX 4070 will become available to the general public on April 13, 2023. That’s today, so if you’re keen to get your hands on one of these GPUs, prepare yourself for action. It’s hard to say for sure the exact time the RTX 4070 will be released. However, going off previous releases, we predict the time the GPU will be made available to the public will be at approximately 2 PM GMT/ 3 PM CEST/ 6:30 PM IST/ 9 AM EDT/ 8 AM CDT/ 6 AM PDT.

RTX 4070 specs

There’s a lot to love here. Although the CUDA cores come in lower than the 4070 Ti, we love the high memory and great CPU speed. It’s not quite as impressive as the 4070 Ti, but for a less premium card, it’s pretty great.

How much will the RTX 4070 cost?

The RTX 4070 will be coming in at a confirmed MSRP $599.00. It’s a lot more affordable than the 4070 Ti, $100 cheaper than the 3080 MSRP at launch, and $100 more expensive than the RTX 3070 at launch. In short, it”s placed in a good spot.

Will RTX 4070 be better than 3080?

Given the specs recently released by Nvidia, the RTX 4070 release will see a GPU that outperforms its similarly priced predecessors, and at times even the 3080. The new GPU is built on the 5nm process AD104 die, which is pretty top-end. However, the improvement isn’t massive – some tests found that the RTX 4070 lacks somewhat in value when the current price jump is taken into consideration.

RTX 4070 Release Time Prediction: Final Thoughts

There are lots to look forward to from the RTX 4070. A lower price point than the 4070 Ti but with plenty of great features and a super fast processing speed – what’s not to like? With the recent news from Nvidia and history of similar releases, it looks like the 4070 release will be available on April 13th, at around 2PM GMT.

We’ll be keeping you updated with exact times as Nvidia makes them clear, so keep checking back if you don’t want to miss out.
