NVIDIA's highly-anticipated GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card is set to launch in mid-April 2023, boasting a standard memory size of 12 GB.
This impressive memory capacity is expected to be evenly distributed across the 192-bit memory bus width of the AD104 GPU which forms the basis of the SKU. Despite having fewer CUDA cores than the RTX 4070 Ti at 5,888 compared to 7,680, the RTX 4070's memory subsystem is still expected to feature 21 Gbps-rated GDDR6X memory chips, providing up to 504 GB/s of memory bandwidth. This information has been confirmed through regulatory filings for several upcoming custom-designed RTX 4070 board models by leading manufacturer MSI, including dual-fan models of their Ventus series.
MSI's exciting range of RTX 4070 models includes the MSI RTX 4070 VENTUS 3X 12G, MSI RTX 4070 VENTUS 2X 12G OC, MSI RTX 4070 VENTUS 3X 12G OC, MSI RTX 4070 VENTUS 2X 12G, MSI RTX 4070 GAMING X TRIO 12G, MSI RTX 4070 GAMING TRIO 12G, MSI RTX 4070 SUPRIM X 12G, MSI RTX 4070 SUPRIM 12G, and the GIGABYTE RTX 4070 EAGLE OC. Below is a table overview from videocardz.

Rumors also suggest that NVIDIA may release two distinct SKUs specifically for use by board partners, although it remains uncertain whether any of these cards will feature the modern 16-pin power connector or the standard 8-pin variant. The RTX 4070 is poised to launch on April 13th, sporting AD104-250 or 251 GPU variants with 5888 CUDA Cores, all operating within a 200 to 225W TDP.
