Italian online store: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti will be released in early January

An Italian online store has put a web page for the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti online. The store is showing a countdown for an ASUS TUF card, which ends on January 5. The GPU, which was previously announced as the RTX 4080 12GB, would be announced during CES.

The product page of the ASUS GeForce RTX 4070 Ti TUF Gaming 012G recently appeared at Italian online store Drako.it, noted tech website Wccftech. The product page contains an availability countdown that expires in 31 days, which means January 5, 2022. The video card has a cooler with three fans. The GPU also has 12GB of GDDR6X memory, although 16GB of memory is incorrectly stated elsewhere on the product page.

The listing at Drako.it seems to confirm an earlier rumor. Tech website Wccftech reported in November that Nvidia would announce the RTX 4070 Ti on January 3, during the CES fair in Las Vegas. Reviews would follow on January 4 and the card would appear in stores on January 5.

Nvidia previously announced this video card as the RTX 4080 12GB, which would become available in November alongside the RTX 4080 16GB. However, the 12GB variant was deleted after criticism because, in addition to less memory, the video card also had a less powerful GA104 GPU. There were already rumors going around that Nvidia would later reintroduce the video card as the RTX 4070 Ti. The card has 7680 CUDA cores and a 192-bit memory bus.
