The front of the Gigabyte RTX 4070 Ti Gaming OC is mostly black, with silvery highlights on the fan hub. On the back you'll find a high-quality metal backplate.

Graphics Card Dimensions

Dimensions of the card are 35.0 x 15.0 cm, and it weighs 1740 g.

Installation requires three slots in your system. We measured the card's width to be 75 mm.

Monitor Outputs, Display Connectors

Display connectivity includes three standard DisplayPort 1.4a ports and one HDMI 2.1a (same as Ampere and same as non-Super Ada).

NVIDIA introduced the concept of dual NVDEC and NVENC Codecs with the Ada Lovelace architecture. This means there are 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.

Graphics Card Power Plugs

All GeForce RTX 4080 and 4080 Super graphics cards use the 12+4 pin ATX 12VHPWR connector, an adapter cable is included in the box.


This BIOS switch lets you activate the "quiet" BIOS, which runs a more relaxed fan curve, for lower noise levels.

The thermal solution on the Gigabyte Gaming OC has nine heatpipes. The main heatsink also provides cooling for the memory chips and VRM circuitry.


The backplate is made of metal and protects the card against damage during installation and handling.
