Gigabyte Shows New RTX 4070 Ti WindForce Series Graphics Card
Gigabyte has introduced its new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti WindForce series, that will actually be a sixth SKU in the RTX 4070 Ti lineup, alongside two AORUS models, Eagle, Gaming, and AERO models. Surprisingly, this is a completely new design that has not been used on any previous Gigabyte cards, featuring a 2.5-slot, triple-fan cooler design.
Gigabyte did not give out a lot of information, so we do not know when the new Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Ti WindForce series will actually be available or at what price, but it is safe to assume it could end up to be the least expensive in the lineup. The new RTX 4070 Ti WindForce is also an OC edition card, which means it comes with a slight factory overclock, pushing the GPU up to 2625 MHz, which is a rather minor 15 MHz overclock.
According to the details provided by Gigabyte, the new WindForce cooling system features three 80 mm alternate spinning graphene nano lubricant sleeve bearing fans, eight copper heatpipes, and a direct touch copper plate. It also comes with a metal backplate as well. Of course, it still needs a single 16-pin power connector, which is located at the top.
The Gigabyte RTX 4070 Ti WindForce OC (GV-N407TWF3OC-12GD) is not yet available in retail/e-tail but we will certainly keep an eye out for it.

The provided images look like the VRAM cooling was simplified and there's a general loss of finstack area around the GPU compared to Eagle? Also smaller flow-through cutout on the back.
if you put Rev2.0 eagle and WF3 side by side, they are exactly the same, apart from the shroud. so either one should do the job.
They kept the heatpipe count the same but the VRAM (and GPU?) baseplate is now bare copper without that extra plate on top.
Gigabyte cards do pretty well with VRAM temps this gen, I guess there's no reason to expect any different from 2.0.
