The Card
The PNY RTX 4070 Ti Super Verto comes with a mostly-black color theme that has some white highlights on it from the PNY and GeForce logos. There's a cutout for air to flow through, the main cooler shroud is made from plastic while the backplate is made of metal.
Dimensions of the card are 30.5 x 12.0 cm, and it weighs 1150 g.
Installation requires three slots in your system. We measured the card's width to be 61 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 Ti 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 PNY Verto 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.
