Gainward has recently revealed its latest Panther series graphics cards, which feature a sleek and unobtrusive design that avoids drawing too much attention. The Panther series follows Gainward's Phantom and Phoenix lineups, using names that start with "P." The new additions boast a 3.1-slot triple-fan cooling system without any LED lights or logos, perfect for users who prefer keeping their PC builds concealed within windowless cases. Furthermore, a vented backplate offers improved air circulation.
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.
The weight of the card is approximately 1.5kg which is okay by today's standards, it has a compact design, measuring almost 32 centimetres in length. Additionally, the card's backplate is open on one side. The card comes with a vented backplate for enhanced ventilation.
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 its products for the past year. Moreover, a vented backplate promotes better airflow. One unique aspect of the RTX 40-series graphics cards is that NVIDIA is the exclusive provider of the power adapters included, whether for the Founders Edition or custom-designed boards by partners. Despite conforming to PCIe Gen 5 specifications, the GeForce RTX 4000 series features a PCIe Gen 4.0 x16 host interface. The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER comes equipped with 12GB of GDDR6X memory and a 192-bit wide memory bus.
