On January 8th, 2024, NVIDIA introduced the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, a high-performance graphics card designed for the PC gaming community. This card is built using the 5 nm process technology and features the AD103 graphics processor, specifically the AD103-275-A1 variant. It is fully compatible with DirectX 12 Ultimate, ensuring it can efficiently run the latest games and support upcoming titles with advanced features like hardware-ray tracing and variable-rate shading. The AD103 processor is a large chip with a 379 mm² die area and contains 45,900 million transistors. While it shares the same GPU as the fully-enabled GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has fewer shader units to align with its design specifications. It includes 8448 shading units, 264 texture mapping units, and 112 ROPs. Additionally, it is equipped with 264 tensor cores for improved machine learning performance and 66 ray tracing acceleration cores for advanced rendering. The reference clocked cards come with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory, connected through a 256-bit memory interface. It operates at a base clock speed of 2340 MHz and can boost up to 2610 MHz, while the memory runs at 1400 MHz (22.4 Gbps effective data-rate). 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 285 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. At launch, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is priced at $799, positioning it as an attractive option for those seeking top-tier graphics performance.
GALAX has unveiled the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER EX gamer edition with 16GB, powered by the NVIDIA ADA104 GPU. This model is offered at the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) and features a more limited configuration. It includes the new 12V power connector and is fitted with a triple-fan cooling system for efficient thermal management. This graphics card comes factory-overclocked at 2640 MHz, featuring slight adjustments to the Total Graphics Power (TGP) and standard memory clocks. It boasts RGB fans as its primary lighting elements, catering to users who favor a minimalist design. In our tests, overclocking further yielded speeds approximately between 2.9 to 3.0 GHz, while the memory clock reached around 22 to 23 Gbps. Considering these performance metrics and its compatibility with other high-end components, we recommend using a power supply unit (PSU) of at least 700 Watts. However, the final choice rests with the user. Let's delve into this review.
