Nvidia is apparently allowing graphics card manufacturers to make GeForce RTX 4070 cards out of GPUs normally used in its much more powerful graphics cards. Specifically, instead of using the AD104 chips used in standard cards, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 made with the AD103 GPU normally found in the RTX 4080 has been discovered.
The specific variant of what's arguably the best graphics card of Nvidia's original 4000 series lineup, is an MSI RTX 4070 Ventus 3X E 12 GB OC. Nothing looks externally different about the card, and it doesn't perform any differently from a standard RTX 4070, but it is one of the larger variants of the RTX 4070 on the market.
