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.
Palit has engineered this graphics card with a semi-passive cooling solution, which activates its three fans once the GPU surpasses a predefined temperature threshold. Our acoustic analysis revealed a remarkably low noise level of only 33-34 decibels. This card boasts one of the market's highest clock speeds, running at 2655 MHz out of the box. When subjected to overclocking, it can achieve a 3.0 GHz clock speed. Additionally, the memory operates at a speed of approximately 23 Gbps.The semi-passive cooling system, featuring three fans that engage and cool the GPU as it heats up, ensures the card remains passive during idle loads. Furthermore, it introduces a novel 16-pin power connector and has a modest weight of just over 1500 grams. Visually, this graphics card stands out, especially when illuminated with its vibrant RGB lighting. Join us as we explore its design and delve into its performance in our upcoming photography session.
