NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Could See a Tight January 5 Launch Schedule

NVIDIA’s upcoming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti performance-segment graphics card could see a January 5, 2023 launch (the day on which you can buy one), according to a Wccftech report. The card will be unveiled to the masses on January 3, and reviews of the card could go live on January 4, before product-availability the next day. This would mean that reviewers could get the card well in advance, and would probably be testing it over the Christmas break in order to meet the review date, before flying off to the 2023 International CES, which opens to the public on January 5, and to the press a couple of days earlier.

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is reportedly a rebadged RTX 4080 12 GB, which was supposed to launch alongside the RTX 4080 16 GB on November 16; before NVIDIA pulled the plug on the SKU in the face of backlash on social media and the press over its controversial naming that could confuse buyers, given its significantly different hardware specs to those of the RTX 4080 16 GB. With the first batch of RTX 4080 12 GB cards probably already boxed and ready to ship, if not shipped already, NVIDIA is issuing re-branding guidelines to its board partners, so they could do their best at pasting stickers, a template of which is below. It remains to be seen if NVIDIA sticks to the $900 MSRP for the SKU.
