In quick succession, the photos of graphics cards Founders Edition have been published: one remains possible, the other seems unimaginable.
Not all GeForces are entitled to their NVIDIA Founders Edition stamped version, but photos recovered by our colleagues from Videocardz are there to illustrate models that are still unknown.
A 4070 Ti FE that will never see the light of day…
In the first place, it is a hypothetical GeForce RTX 4070 Ti which is at the heart of the news. Available since January, this graphics card has not benefited from the Founders Edition treatment.

However, two photos illustrate what appears to be such a model. It is not difficult to recognize the PCB found on the cards of NVIDIA partners while the design of the cooling system is, without a doubt, that of a Founders Edition.
Such photos seem to confirm the fact that NVIDIA once had the idea to release such a card. Remember, this one had a turbulent genesis since it was originally going to be called RTX 4080 12 GB.
… and a 4060 (Ti?) more possible
Today, more than two months after the release of the partner versions, there is no longer any chance that NVIDIA will release this RTX 4070 Ti Founders Edition. On the other hand, the brand could have other models in its boxes.

We know that an RTX 4070 FE is already planned, but these are the photos of a hypothetical RTX 4060 or RTX 4060 Ti Founders Edition that have been released in the last few hours. On the picture, the mention “RTX 4060” is clearly visible, but the person behind the leak specifies that it could be an RTX 4060 Ti due to changes in the specifications.
If the design of the cooling system is the one we are used to on the Founders Edition RTX 4000, note that it is more compact here and the card should – that’s a good thing! – occupy only two PCI Express slots. However, it is difficult to comment on its exact dimensions.
