The Card

The TUF RTX 4070 Ti follows the company's GeForce 40 design theme—a bulky look, with surfaces in various metal colors. On the back you get a thick metal backplate with cutouts for airflow.


Dimensions of the card are 30.0 x 14.0 cm, and it weighs 1373 g.


Installation requires three slots in your system.


Display connectivity includes three standard DisplayPort 1.4a ports and two HDMI 2.1a (same as Ampere).

NVIDIA introduces the concept of dual NVDEC and NVENC Codecs with the Ada architecture. This means there are now two independent sets of hardware-accelerators; so you can encode and decode two streams of video in parallel, or one stream at double the FPS rate. The new 8th Gen NVENC now accelerates AV1 encoding, besides HEVC. You also get an "optical flow accelerator" unit that is able to calculate intermediate frames for videos, to smooth playback. The same hardware unit is used for frame generation in DLSS 3.


The card uses the new 12+4 pin ATX 12VHPWR connector, which is rated for up to 600 W of power draw. An adapter cable from 2x PCIe 8-pin is included. Of course the 4x 8-pin to 16-pin adapter cables from RTX 4090 will also work with the RTX 4070 Ti.


This dual BIOS switch lets you toggle from the default "performance" BIOS, to the "quiet" mode BIOS.

Teardown

The fan assembly can be replaced easily, it's just a few screws to take off.


The heatsink provides cooling for the GPU, memory chips and VRM circuitry. ASUS has installed six heatpipes.


The backplate is made from metal, it protects the card against damage during installation and handling.
