ASUS recently revamped the design of its GeForce 40 STRIX Series graphics card with a strikingly new aesthetic. The primary cooler shroud and the backplate are both crafted from robust metal materials. The backplate features a sleek black design with silver accents, while the front is adorned with dynamic gradients of blue and red. These colors subtly shift and change as the viewing angle on the card is altered.
The graphics card under review presents an impressive visual appeal, featuring a striking design that is likely to captivate enthusiasts. Beyond its eye-catching aesthetics, the card is also a powerhouse in terms of performance. It is equipped with an efficiently designed shroud and a substantial cooling system, ensuring stable operation at peak temperatures. This combination of style and functionality marks the card as a strong competitor in the graphics card market. In the subsequent sections, we will present photographs that highlight both the aesthetic and performance aspects of this hardware.
The 12VHPWR connector has faced criticism recently due to isolated cases of overheating and melting caused by cable bending too close to the connector during user installation or potentially poor quality control. However, we find it difficult to replicate and overheat these connectors. Although the GeForce RTX 4000 series adheres to PCIe Gen 5 specifications, it utilizes a PCIe Gen 4.0 x16 host interface. A notable feature of the RTX 40-series is NVIDIA's exclusive provision of power adapters for both the Founders Edition and custom-designed boards by partners. For power, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER uses a triple-slot design and is powered by a single 16-pin connector, with a maximum power consumption of 280 W.
It offers various display outputs, including 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a, and connects to the system through a PCI-Express 4.0 x16 interface. As NVIDIA prepares to phase out the Ampere lineup, the ADA series takes its place, offering faster and similarly priced cards. With 8448 shading cores, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER will be close(r) to 4080 performance.
