GIGABYTE RTX 4070 Ti Pictured, Includes 2x 8-pin to 16-pin Adapter for 300W Power Delivery

[btarunr]

Here are some of the first pictures of a GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 Ti custom-design graphics cards, the RTX 4070 Ti AERO. GIGABYTE targets the AERO brand of graphics cards, motherboards, and notebooks, at creators who like to game, hence the product design that's a lot less flashy than the company's AORUS or Gaming OC brands of graphics cards. An interesting aspect of this card is that it features a 16-pin ATX 12VHPWR connector, and includes an NVIDIA-supplied power adapter that converts two 8-pin PCIe power connectors to one 12VHPWR. We know this adapter is different from the 2x 8-pin to 12-pin adapter NVIDIA included with the RTX 3080 Founders Edition, looking at the four sensor pins.

The connector has keying for 300 W, and so the typical board power of the RTX 4070 Ti will be at or below 300 W. The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is essentially a re-branding of what would have been the RTX 4080 12 GB, had NVIDIA not decided to "unlaunch" it. The SKU maxes out the 4 nm "AD104" silicon, featuring 7,680 CUDA cores across 60 streaming multiprocessors (SM), 240 Tensor cores, 60 RT cores, 240 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. The chip features a 192-bit GDDR6X memory interface, which was at the heart of the RTX 4080 12 GB naming controversy.

Mixed feelings with this card. I want to like it, but it is so cut down. And that power connector.. I dunno.

Sadness is knowing there is no EVGA model coming.

 

[dj-electric]

Huh, another gaming oc repaint. I really wish GBT will shift AERO a bit towards a different design besides a recolor

I'm fine with the connector but wish they'd make the wires longer so I could hide it under the psu shroud. Having 2 big 8 pin blocks going into these sockets to then feed into my 3080 looks daft.

Following in the footsteps of apple with the dongles.

Interesting card. Unfortunately, I already fear what arsehole price it will be sold for.

x070ti card at 999, or 899? If so, more (justified) NV hate incoming.

I'm not fucking around with this new power connector. AMD for me this round.

Some of the EVGA models may have the the power connector on the side instead of the top. Not sure why other AIB are not doing this, like Sapphire who did this on some of their AMD GPUs.

What is next? RTX 4050 120W, 1x6 to 1x16 connector?

Pretty sure most of them like to cheap out on not having a longer pcb or an extra bit of pcb with a wire to the main pcb.

Exactly my thoughts. The specs look alright (although I don't like the idea of a x70 card having a big-ass 2 kg cooler to cool up to 300 W), but something tells me that Nvidia will try to upsell it on the premise that AMD's x700 tier RDNA 3 card isn't out yet (which is irrelevant at this price range).

 

[ZoneDymo]

this thing will be massively overpriced for sure

Is its goal equaling the 7900XT in raster while beating it in RT? Then 1k in the least.
If it is to cost 899, it'll possibly get trounced in raster but the RT media machine will sell it anyways.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Ahh the 192-bit 80series that should've never been.

 

[lightning70]

I hope they don't set an $899 MSRP.

 

[ZoneDymo]

I hope they don't set an $899 MSRP.

the 4090 is 1600 dollars
the 4080 is 1200 dollars (400 dollars less for this one and room inbetween for the inevitable 4080ti)
the 4070ti at 900 dollars is 300 dollars less and its the next one down, so its more then likely.
the 4070 might be 800 dollars...

either way, you are all the consumers, im not buying shit so if these prices hold, its yall's fault.

I thought evga decided not to launch 40 series cards, but I could be wrong.

This way people with stubby cases and sff will complain.

There isn't really a proper solution for the power connector position. Where ever it's placed, someone will have issues with it.

The only place it won't be in the way for anyone is next to the HDMI port, via a wall adapter

I'm already waiting for the greedy $ 799, but the price will be $ 899. I am happy with the RTX 3070.

 

[TechHalp]

Ooh I bet everyone can't wait for the card that has less vram, performance, a pathetic 192-bit memory bus, and costs more than the 3090 ti!

Bonus points for it destroying every single thing on your case if you bend the cable even slightly in the wrong direction.

 

[N/A]

Oh boy, the backside is 1½ fans of pure airflow, almost twice as wide as the 4080 Aero, the card being 342mm and probably 3 slot, this is serious overkill like
I guess big size is what sells now, look at my monster card with a 192 bit bus 60-class GPU under the hood.
No no, you all AIBs got it wrong.. Just give me 10 K shaders of pure PCB with $199 water block.

how come this wasn't in W1zz's review? i don't recall seeing it. hmm. odd.

I was planning on getting Sapphire 7900 xtx though so won't be a problem there

Making that the 4060 $600. I think the 4070Ti will be expensive, but you're pushing it with those prices.

I also don't have a problem with the power connector, but I'd sure like an explanation as to why it exists.

x070ti card at 999, or 899?

Considering as a 4080 12GB it was going to be $899, I can't see them charging more for it as a 70Ti. $899 tops imo, maybe even slightly less but I doubt it.
