The Card

PNY's RTX 4070 Ti OC looks similar to the company's other GeForce 40 Series cards. The dominant color is black, with highlights in gray and silver, the fan hubs have a splash of red to add some color. On the other side you'll find a high-quality metal backplate.


PNY has integrated two RGB illuminated elements in the front cooler.


Dimensions of the card are 33.5 x 13.5 cm, and it weighs 1574 g.


Installation requires 3.5 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.

Teardown

The main heatsink provides cooling for the GPU chip, memory chips and VRM circuitry. PNY is using seven heatpipes on their cooler.


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