RTX 4070 Release Date Confirmed for April 13
The highly-anticipated GeForce RTX 4070 will launch **on April 13th, 2023**, with NVIDIA implementing several embargoes for partners and reviewers before its release. According to [VideoCardz](https://twitter.com/VideoCardz), the first embargo starts this week, with board partners contacting channel partners and stocking RTX 4070 cards in their regional warehouses before they reach retailers.
New Review System Differentiating MSRP & Non-MSRP Models
AICs have almost a month to stock and distribute RTX 4070 GPUs. Reviewers will receive their samples in early April and have at least one week to complete their reviews. Interestingly, the review embargo will be split between MSRP and non-MSRP models. Instead of two separate embargoes for NVIDIA Founders Edition and custom cards, NVIDIA will split the review embargo based on their market price.
By doing so, NVIDIA is essentially promoting cheaper custom models over factory-overclocked designs that are usually pricier. The official announcement of the GeForce RTX 4070 will take place **on April 12th**, also the review embargo for all RTX 4070 cards available at MSRP. Non-MSRP model tests will be published **on April 13th**, the same day the card officially launches.
RTX 4070 Specs & Performance
The RTX 4070 is the fourth instalment in the Ada Lovelace desktop series, featuring the AD104-250/251 GPU with 5888 CUDA cores. Gamers should expect a 12GB GDDR6 configuration across a 192-bit memory bus. This will also be the first RTX 40 desktop card with TDP at only 200W.
