At this year’s GDC (Game Developer Conference) NVIDIA is focusing on two technologies: path tracing and frame generation. The latter should already be well known to gamers on RTX 40 series, but the former technology is still not commonly used in games. In an effort to change this, today NVIDIA released its first SDK (Software Development Kit) for Path Tracing, as part of their RTX toolkit.

Inno3D GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card to feature one 8-pin power connector
https://videocardz.com/newz/inno3d-geforce-rtx-4070-graphics-card-to-feature-one-8-pin-power-connector
The Inno3D RTX 4070 non-Ti graphics card will indeed have an 8-pin power connector. This is a confirmation of a 1-day-old rumor that some RTX 4070 cards may appear without the new 16-pin (12VHPWR connector). The packaging that was pictured and shared on Chinese social platform clearly mentions the standard 8-pin connector for this card.
