For Management Heart’s newest replace, model 23.03.02.01, the discharge notes had your commonplace bug fixes: clearing points with RGB, settings not making use of, and so on. Nonetheless, on the backside of the web page, there was another entry within the “Assist” class of adjustments.

Gigabyte clearly made a mistake right here, as the road denoting help for these new graphics playing cards was lately eliminated. Nonetheless, this single unintended observe seems to have confirmed small bits of data concerning Nvidia’s subsequent two Ada Lovelace GPUs.
Particulars in regards to the soon-to-launch RTX 4070 had been certain to leak finally, and Gigabyte seems to have leaked the reminiscence capability of the cardboard. The RTX 4070 can have 12 GB of (possible GDDR6X) reminiscence, an enchancment over the RTX 3070 which featured solely 8 GB of GDDR6. This implies the RTX 4070 will boast the identical reminiscence setup as its greater brother, the RTX 4070 Ti.
