"New NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 to feature AD103 GPU"
NVIDIA may use salvage dies for the lowest tier SKU in the RTX 40 lineup, with plans to introduce the AD103 GPU for the RTX 4070. The AD103 GPU is currently not used by any graphics card on the market, and if used for the RTX 4070, 42% of the GPU would be partially disabled. Board partners should not encounter issues with the GPU swap, as AD103 and AD104 are pin compatible. GeForce desktop cards are no stranger to mixed GPU specs, which may explain why NVIDIA is not displaying the exact GPU names on their official website.
