According to recent reports, Nvidia is considering launching an updated version of the GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card that will feature GDDR6 memory instead of the currently used GDDR6X chips. This potential shift from GDDR6X to GDDR6 could be driven by shortages and quality control issues with the GDDR6X chips.
The GeForce RTX 4070, initially released in April 2023, is built on Nvidia's Ada Lovelace architecture and comes equipped with 12GB of GDDR6X memory, supporting ray tracing and DLSS technologies. The card is aimed at PC gamers who play at 1080p or 1440p resolutions, though it may struggle with 4K gaming without adjustments. As of now, the lowest-priced RTX 4070, the MSI Ventus 2X OC, is listed at $539 on Amazon and Newegg.
While this information is still speculative, sources suggest that Nvidia may release this updated RTX 4070 model out of necessity. Wccftech reports that due to the failure of some unreleased GDDR6X chips during quality checks and supply chain disruptions, Nvidia may need to revert to the older GDDR6 memory to meet consumer demand, especially with the RTX 50 series on the horizon. However, no official pricing or release date for the potential GDDR6 version of the RTX 4070 has been confirmed by Nvidia.
