The Card

Palit uses a clever mix of metal plates on plastic to create a high-quality look and feel for their cooler. The various shades of gray contrast nicely with the black fans. On the back you get a high-quality metal backplate.


Palit has installed several RGB elements in their main cooler, there's another illuminated zone near the top right of the card.


Dimensions of the card are 33.0 x 13.0 cm, and it weighs 1557 g.


Installation requires three slots in your system.


Display connectivity includes three standard DisplayPort 1.4a ports and one 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.

Right next to the connector, partially pictured, is a header for ARGB, to sync the graphics card to your motherboard.

Teardown

The main heatsink provides cooling for the GPU chip, memory chips and VRM circuitry. Palit has installed seven heatpipes on their cooler.


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