Asus GeForce RTX 4070 Ti TUF OC

Meet the RTX 4080 12GB in a new guise

The announcement of the 4th generation of GeForce RTX graphics cards did not go according to plan. First, the players were advertised for a long time with the DLSS version, then the “greens” made confusion with the versions of the RTX 4080 model, then the players went a little crazy with the difference between the announced and real prices. Nearly half a year later, NVIDIA came to its senses and re-released the RTX 4080 model with 12 GB of memory called the RTX 4070 Ti. In fact, this is the same card based on the NVIDIA AD104 core with 7680 CUDA cores and a 12 GB GDDR6X buffer with a 192-bit bus. However, the name is no longer misleading, and the price looks more adequate.

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti has a very attractive price/speed ratio. At a lower cost, the new product demonstrates performance at the level of the flagship of the previous generation GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, providing a comfortable frame rate in most AAA projects of recent years in 2K / 4K resolution and mixed graphics settings. That being said, the RTX 4070 Ti has a couple of very serious architectural aces up its sleeve that greatly improve the quality and performance of hardware ray tracing and DLSS supersampling technology.

Tri-slot cooling system and dual BIOS

The Asus GeForce RTX 4070 Ti TUF is a three-slot variant of the RTX 4070 Ti graphics card with three air coolers. It uses an updated cooling system with new 11-blade Axial-tech fans. Compared to TUF RTX 30XX graphics cards, the new coolers are capable of pumping a third more air volume, providing better airflow to the video core and memory. Traditionally, for models of the TUF series, the manufacturer used a denser textolite and durable system elements, equipped the board with dual UEFI / BIOS and built several alternative operating modes into the firmware.
