GeForce RTX 3070 Ti has been fitted with 8 Gigabytes of GDDR6X memory; it runs at 19 Gbps (effective data rate), which is a data-rate most of us can identify with when compared to the last-gen products. We'll show you the full specification details on the next pages. BTW we get often asked, but yes these photos are made with our own photos shoot, and are not provided externally.

The cooling design for the FE again is based on the dual axial flow through thermals. Basically, at the bottom side, the air is being pulled in, the hot air is then exhausted at the top and connector port sides. The RTX 3060 Ti, 3070,3070 Ti 3080, 3080 Ti, and 3090 cards all get HDMI 2.1 connectors and the latest iteration in DisplayPort. The card again gets the new 12-pin power connecter header (converter cable included that feeds from two 8-pin connectors). Mind you that I do refer to the FE editions here. AIB partner cards are free to choose and use whatever they deem applicable. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition is delivered in a gift-like, soft-touch paperboard box. The bundled items include an adapter that converts 8-pin PCIe power inputs to a 12-pin power connector and documentation.

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition card much like the other models feels big and premium when you have it in your hands; there is a good detail to the product's finish. The IO panel is used as an air vent and shows four display connectors, three DisplayPort 1.4, and one HDMI 2.1 connector that will bring 8K 60 Hz HDR to a single HDMI cable. No more USB type-C VirtualLink connector, as that one is going the way of the dodo.

You will again notice the new 12-pin (MicroFit 3.0) connector. It remains to be an oddity, alright. The connector would work with native PSU cables quite well; the adapter, however, is a bit clumsy and difficult to hide. Also, the adoption rate from PSU manufacturers and vendors is tiresomely slow. So you'll be using that converter cable for a while.

The advantage, though, is the connector can pass at least 300 watts of power, twice that of a single 8-pin PCIe connector.  Above you can see the 3x DP and single HDMI connector btw.
