The Card

Palit's RTX 4070 JetStream uses a mostly black color theme, which looks good, thanks to the matte surfaces. On the other side you'll find a metal backplate that has a cutout for air to flow through.


Dimensions of the card are 33 x 13 cm, and it weighs 1443 g.


Installation requires three slots in your system. We measured the card's width to be 64 mm.


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. While the RTX 4070 Ti features dual units, the RTX 4070 Super and RTX 4070 come with only one of them. 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.


All GeForce RTX 4070 Super graphics cards use the 12+4 pin ATX 12VHPWR connector, an adapter cable is included in the box.

Teardown

The thermal solution on the Palit JetStream has six 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.
