Nvidia Introduces New RTX 4070 Variant Utilizing AD103 Chips

The new RTX 4070 variant features cut-down AD103 chips, repurposed from higher-end models to optimize silicon use.

Nvidia's latest RTX 4070 variant employs AD103 chips, originally intended for higher-end models like the RTX 4080 Super.
The AD103 chips are larger and more costly than the AD104 chips traditionally used in RTX 4070, leading to a strategic repurposing.
Despite the hardware changes, the new RTX 4070 variant offers the same performance levels as its predecessors.
TechPowerUp confirms the market availability of the RTX 4070 with AD103, with MSI models already using the new configuration.
Nvidia aims to clear out existing Ada Lovelace silicon before the launch of the upcoming Blackwell RTX 50-series.
