TECH NEWS – Gamers have snapped up the high-end 4090, and the 4080 hasn’t even been touched (we wrote about that already). Will there be demand for the 4070?

According to a tweet, a Serbian distributor is already selling the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Gaming video card from Gigabyte for 172229 Serbian Dinars. The video card, which occupies three slots and has three fans, can be cheaper than the roughly $1550: those who would like to pay cash will get a 10% discount, so they can get the video card, which is intended for the upper-mid-range, for about $1400.

Anyone who may be following Nvidia’s recommended pricing may raise their voice. This price of about 1550/1400 dollars is higher than the price the company suggested for the RTX 4080. Still, there is an explanation for it on Reddit: the Serbian tech market is a duopoly, as the retailers are greedy and the customs officials are putting huge surcharges and taxes on technology products. The RTX 4080 costs about $1700 (roughly $500 higher than the US MSRP), and the RTX 4090 starts at $2500 (that’s $900 higher). When the retail embargo ends, the RTX 4070 should be priced below $1000.

The RTX 4070 Ti comes with the Ada Lovelace AD104-400 GPU configuration, 7680 cores, and 60 SM, so there is no cutback. 48 MB of L2 cache, 192-bit bus interface, and 12 GB of GDDR6X memory. The 21 Gbps memory bandwidth will be 504 GB/s, and the card will have a boost clock speed of 2610 MHz. The TBP is 285W, 35W less than the 10GB RTX 3080, and five watts less than the 3070 Ti. Compared to the 4080, there could be a difference of 30-40%…

So it’s a pretty expensive video card…
