When activated, the card features RGB LEDs that illuminate both the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and STRIX logos. The visible heatsink on this side suggests improved heat dissipation, potentially enhancing the card's cooling efficiency. This could result in better frame rates during gaming. The card's weight, approximately 1.8kg, which necessitates careful handling during installation. ASUS included a stand for the card to rest on. Improper installation without securing it with screws might risk damaging the PCIe slot.

The card's display outputs comprise three DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.1 port. Additionally, ASUS includes a 2x8-pin to 16-pin converter. Users should ensure their power supply is adequate for this hardware. The STRIX graphics card is notably larger compared to the NVIDIA Founders Edition, measuring 34 x 7 cm and weighing 1800 grams.

In terms of design, the card showcases a blend of metal and RGB lighting. The front shroud features a brushed metal edge, set against a backdrop of grey and white tones. The STRIX series of cards are notable for their extensive use of RGB lighting, making them some of the most RGB-intensive GPUs on the market. While this design may not appeal to everyone, it undeniably makes a bold and somewhat unique visual statement.

The card features a ventilated backplate and maintains a compact size with a length of approximately 34 cm. Weighing over 1800 grams, it is on the heavier side. Its efficient cooling is attributed to a sleek, dark shroud that covers the heat sink array, ensuring effective temperature regulation. This aspect is further explored in the following section. For installation, the card occupies three slots in a computer system. In terms of connectivity, the RTX 4000 series includes HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 ports. These ports enable 8K 60 Hz HDR output through a single HDMI cable, despite the absence of the DP 2.1 standard.

The card includes a BIOS switch, allowing users to toggle between a standard performance BIOS and a quiet BIOS with a less aggressive fan curve. Installation requires four slots in the computer system.

The card's I/O panel comprises an air vent, connectors, and an aluminium fin stack within an alloy frame. The bulk of the cooling system's volume is occupied by the fin stack. The airflow mechanism involves one fan drawing air in and expelling it from the sides of the card, while another fan directs air through the fin stack and outwards. For power management, the cards feature a 12VHPWR power connector header, complemented by a converter cable linked to 8-pin connectors. The product package includes relevant documentation and an adapter for converting 8-pin PCIe power inputs to a 12-pin power connector. Users are advised to maintain a 3-4cm clearance from the plastic connector and to avoid bending the cable near it for safe functionality.

This model does feature RGB lighting and maintains an appealing appearance with its all-dark design. The latest models in the series are engineered for superior cooling and enhanced stability, featuring a protection Plate and a Metal Backplate with strategically placed cut-outs.
