The launch of the GeForce RTX 4070 has now been confirmed for April 13, but just before that date NVIDIA has set some embargoes for partners and reviewers. So, here is what you need to know. According to the information, the first embargo begins this week. Board partners will begin contacting channel partners to stock RTX 4070 cards in their regional warehouses before shipping to distributors and later to retailers. That means AICs (add-in card partners) have almost a month to stock and distribute RTX 4070 GPUs.
Reviewers will receive their samples in early April, so they should have at least a week to complete their reviews. An interesting detail is that the test embargo is split between MSRP and non-MSRP models. This means that NVIDIA will no longer split the test embargo for NVIDIA Founders Edition and custom cards into two separate embargoes, but based on market price.
By splitting the embargo in this way, NVIDIA is essentially promoting cheaper custom models instead of overclocked models, which tend to be more expensive. On the other hand, it doesn’t make sense to extend the embargo by a whole day, since hardly anyone will have a chance to read the reviews of the non-MSRP cards once they hit the shelves. NVIDIA will officially announce the GeForce RTX 4070 on April 12. That day is also the test embargo for all RTX 4070 cards offered at MSRP.
The tests of the non-MSRP models will be published on April 13, the same day the card is officially launched. The RTX 4070 is the fourth part of the Ada Lovelace desktop series. This model is said to have an AD104-250/251 GPU with 5888 CUDA cores. In terms of memory, gamers should expect a 12 GB GDDR6 configuration with a 192-bit memory bus. This will also be the first RTX 40 desktop card with a TDP of only 200W.
