More RTX 4070 Designs Show Up: Gigabyte, Palit, MSI, Zotac
The official launch of Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card is said to be days away, so even if we have leftover images of the yet-to-be-announced add-in board featuring a cut-down AD104 ‘Ada Lovelace’ GPU indicated by not surprised momomo_us (opens in new tab), alex wifi42 and Italian vendor Drako.it (opens in new tab) (and discovered by our colleague video cards).
On the spec side of the matter, images of GeForce RTX 4070 graphics cards by Gigabyte, Palit, MSI and Zotac, as we already know from leaks, show nothing new (this is a grain of salt should have been taken, but not yet at this point). These AIBs feature a reduced AD104 graphics processor with 5,888 CUDA cores and paired with 12GB of GDDR6X memory.
Gigabyte has four GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card designs in the works, with only the WindForce and Eagle models shipping with a standard 8-pin auxiliary PCIe power connector, while the Gaming and Aero models have a 12VHPWR 16-pin connector. will be installed. All four designs have three fans, based on leaked images.
One thing that catches my eye in the pictures of the upcoming GeForce RTX 4070 graphics cards from Gigabyte, Palit, MSI and Zotac is that most of them are massive, as my colleague Mark reported yesterday. It is triple wide with an efficient cooling system. On MSI’s GeForce RTX 4070 AIB hoarding.
It’s not particularly surprising that many GeForce RTX 4070-based graphics cards are huge, but given the overclocking potential of the GPUs powering them, it’s reasonable to expect a more compact AIB as well. This is probably where MSI’s GeForce RTX 4070 Ventus 2X comes in. The board features a dual-fan 2-width cooling system that could fit most PCs used by gamers. Of course, different GeForce RTX boards have different power connections. Some use the well-established 8-pin plug, while others use the all-new 12VHPWR.
Apparently, budget-friendly options from Zotac and Palit also include a dual-fan design and 12 GB of GDDR6X memory, but that’s from an unofficial source, so let’s take the info with a grain of salt. take.
