This Nvidia RTX 4070 graphics card has dropped back to its lowest-ever price, but is now a good time to pick up a new GPU? We know the next series of Nvidia graphics cards is on the way, but we still don't have any news of SKUs and release dates, especially for the more affordable low—to mid-range tiers. A lot will depend on your urgency for a new GPU. Do you need it immediately, or is it a replacement part for an old GPU that's developed a fault? My advice would be to wait if you can, although the prices for Nvidia next-gen cards could be in the stratosphere if rumors are anything to go by, and we've no idea of their performance yet.

You can find today's deal at Walmart, where PNY's Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 GPU is available for just $499, equal to its lowest-ever price. This deal saves you $80 off of the listed MSRP price, as this card usually sells for $579. See our review of the RTX 4070 for more detailed information on the performance of this graphics card.

Nvidia's RTX 4070 comes with 12GB of GDDR6X VRAM with up to 504 GB/s of memory bandwidth thanks to its 192-bit bus. Using 5888 CUDA cores, the RTX 4070 has a 1,920 MHz core clock and 2,475 MHz boost clock speeds. With dedicated Tensor cores for ray tracing, the RTX 4070 is perfect for games that include ray tracing as part of their feature set.

PNY's Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 12GB comes with 12GB of GDDR6X VRAM, 5,888 CUDA cores, core clock speeds of 1,920 MHz, and 2,475 MHz boost clock speeds. With a triple-fan setup and large cooling fins, the RTX 4070 keeps cool when playing high-fidelity graphical games.


Another great reason for an Nvidia RTX 40-series GPU is Nvidia's Broadcast software (ideal for streaming and content creation) and NVIDIA DLSS 3 frame generation software, for helping to increase frame rates in some games but tinkering with resolution settings.

Connect your display devices to the PNY Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 using its 3 x DisplayPort ports and 1 x HDMI port. It's suitable for a multi-screen setup.

    A card soon to be replaced and still cost $499 is absurd...

    It's even more absurd it launched $100 over that. This card is worth at best $449 launch, now it should be selling for $389

    This is nowhere a deal, not here or in china. For the same price you get a 7900 GRE which destroys this renamed 4060

    It's already replaced. By the super variant.

    I must be getting old because I remember the GTX series launching around $599 for the Founders Edition, and the 3090 Founders Edition going for about $699 at Best Buy initially. I’ve seen some pretty absurd comparisons of the 3090 to the 4060, when in reality it’s closer to the 4080. I also doubt Nvidia will add the optimized features of the 40 series to it—shareholders are eyeing their dividends and probably aren’t keen on reducing that by holding back on their ambitions. Guys like George Hotz have mentioned multiple times that the 3090 could have a potential that approaches the 4000 series features, but Nvidia’s driver team isn’t allowed to develop these additional options.
    The sad part is the 4000 series about to meet the same faith.
