Gigabyte EEC Filing Confirms GeForce RTX 4070 Ti To Arrive For A Likely CES Launch
Those rumors might well be considered confirmed now thanks to an EEC filing by Gigabyte (spotted by @harukaze5719) that seems to list numerous models of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. This kind of filing is similar to a trademark application, although unlike a trademark, the filing lists individual products that will be sold.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti models on the list
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Ti AORUS MASTER
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Ti AORUS ELITE
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Ti GAMING OC
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Ti GAMING
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Ti AERO OC
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Ti AERO
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Ti EAGLE OC
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Ti EAGLE
Gigabyte also did a separate filing for Radeon cards based on Navi 31, both RX 7900 XTX and RTX 7900 XT models. It looks like we'll be seeing seven new red-team cards; three based on the Radeon RX 7900 XT and four based on the RX 7900 XTX.
As far as the release date, the usual cadre of Twitter leakers seem to expect the RTX 4070 Ti to appear in the first week of January. That would make it very likely for a CES launch. While "CES 2023" probably sounds like it's still a long time away, it's barely more than a month from now, so we don't have long to wait to see how things will play out.
