The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER graphics card is engineered to enhance gaming and creative applications. It incorporates ray tracing, Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), and AI-assisted technologies. Utilizing the AD104 silicon, similar to the RTX 4070 Ti, this card activates 56 out of 60 streaming multiprocessors. This configuration results in 7168 CUDA cores, compared to the 7,680 in the RTX 4070 Ti It includes 56 RT cores, 224 Tensor cores, 224 Texture Mapping Units (TMUs), and 80 Raster Operations Pipelines (ROPs). The RTX 4070 Super has a 192-bit wide memory interface with 12GB of 21Gbps GDDR6X memory, offering a memory bandwidth of 504GB/s.

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. The GeForce RTX 4070, while adhering to PCIe Gen 5 specifications, operates with a PCIe Gen 4.0 x16 host interface. The card is equipped with 12GB of GDDR6X memory and a 192-bit wide memory bus. It has a Total Graphics Power (TGP) of 220W, with a recommended minimum power supply of 500~550W. However, in practice, the Founder Edition card typically consumes between 175-200W on average. Board partners may utilize higher TGP limits, leading to increased wattage requirements for the card though.

As NVIDIA prepares to phase out the Ampere lineup, the ADA series takes its place, offering faster and similarly priced cards. With 5888 shading cores, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER surpasses its predecessor, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and even 3080. An open backplate design on both sides complements its distinct aesthetic, which has been consistent in their products for the past year. Moreover, a vented backplate promotes better airflow.

This model's large size necessitates a sophisticated cooling system constructed from high-quality materials. It features subtle RGB lighting, which highlights the TUF logo in the top right corner. The GPU is reinforced with a carefully designed aluminum backplate and a metal anti-bending plate, minimizing sagging. This robust cooling system enables ASUS to enhance the frequencies while maintaining temperature stability. The card's design expands from a standard three-slot to a more spacious 3.5-slot configuration. Additionally, the latest ASUS GPU includes an expanded I/O shield that accommodates three DisplayPort 1.4 ports and one HDMI 2.1 port.
