GIGABYTE introduced the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER WindForce MAX graphics card. It is characterized by an oversized air cooling solution that gives it some large dimensions of 33.1 cm length, 5.55 cm thickness (3 slots), but more importantly, a height of 13.6 cm, which could pose a challenge for those with mid-tower cases, given the tight cable bending restrictions of the 12VHPWR connector. GIGABYTE found a novel solution to this problem. The power connector is located pointing toward the tail end of the card, where the PCB terminates. The PCB is only two-thirds the length of the card, and so the power cable can be routed in without any bends.
The WindForce cooling solution features a trio of 100 mm fans that ventilate a large aluminium fin-stack heatsink with nine copper heatpipes, and a direct-touch base. GIGABYTE has given the card a factory overclock of 2655 MHz GPU clocks, compared to 2610 MHz reference, while leaving the memory untouched at 21 Gbps. The card offers dual-BIOS, with the default BIOS enabling these clock speeds, and the Silent BIOS lowering them to reference speeds, while quietening the cooler. Based on the 5 nm AD103 silicon, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is endowed with 8,448 CUDA cores, 66 RT cores, 264 Tensor cores, 96 ROPs, and 264 TMUs. The GPU gets 16 GB of 21 Gbps GDDR6X memory across a 256-bit wide memory interface. The company didn't reveal pricing.

That's green.
Now this is a nice position for a power connector. Too bad its the melty one, and this doubly reinforces the fact there's more than enough space to get 3x8pin going. Or make the GPUs a LOT smaller.
I thought they already offered eagle series or something with that design layout.
Vayra86Too bad its the melty one, and this doubly reinforces the fact there's more than enough space to get 3x8pin going.
This can go with 2 x 8-pin with ease.
Vayra86Or make the GPUs a LOT smaller.
The problem is that a small heatsink will have a very tough time to cool those 285-300-watts down.
Maybe if it undervolted and underclocked, then Radeon R9 Nano size would be possible.
Both AMD and nvidia are trolling us really hard with those enormous heatsinks for no visible benefit in terms of higher performance.
I like the included support bracket; nice and clean!

That's standard with Gigabyte GPUs. My 4080 Aero had one in the box.
I'd be happier if the power socket was on the lower half of the GPU instead of the upper, especially with the new trend in rear-connector motherboards.

Imagine writing that AMD and nvidia are trolling you with big heatsinks with no benefit IMMEDIATELY after writing that the 4070 ti super couldnt work with the smaller heatsink unless you undervolted and underclock it. LMFAO! :roll:
Here's the truth: people care about noise. They HATE noise. We whined for years that we wanted less noise. You have to make the fans bigger, or make the heatink much larger, to do this. Measureably, these big heatsinks are nearly silent compared to a few generations ago. And since ATX is the most popular form factor and nothing else goes in there, its free real estate!
it'd be real nice to have ITX cards more often, but sadly most consumers just dont buy them. Same reason I cant have a new old style ranger, or just buy my software outright.

This is the truth. Noise is a thing, I hate it too.
At the same time, somehow we used to have non noisy cards and noisy cards with a smaller footprint (or lower OC, or just a quiet bios) and now we have cinder blocks and half cinder blocks. What the fck happened? Lazy and cheap happened. Its a similar lack of variety you see in gaming itself. The mainstream has chosen the christmas tree cinder block so that's what we get, screw everyone else.
Are they still using cheap sleeve bearing fans these days?

I think I read some AMD cards will have them too... Think it was ASROCK!

That was a card designed to go in a rack mount render farm, where airflow and cable management trumps everything else.
Vayra86Too bad its the melty one
That's why they placed it is a position where the connector will be cooled by the fan.
That's not a newly re-positioned power connector. Gigabyte has been either using that position or recessing in the standard position since the SUPER refresh.
The Aorus 4070 (Ti) Super Master is deeply recessed:
As is the 4080 Super AERO OC:
The 4080 Super WindForce OC (and 4090 V2) had the same rear position:
I actually spoke to Gigabyte about this a few months ago and said they should have included a cover over the corner with grommets to both hold the cable in place and neaten the appearance.
I don't know about you but I prefer the brand HIS, I have had 2 of these and they have had very good quality and cooling system... it's a shame that that brand is not heard as much as before...
You're almost there Gigabyte, just another 90 degrees to go.
As others said, many other gigabyte cards use this placement, like the 4090 Windforce v2: www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N4090WF3V2-24GD-rev-10-11
I sorta thought Nvidia banned this connector placement, at one point Gigabyte told vendors that they weren't shipping any more - but that changed after a few months...
The postulated reason for the top mount connector (plus non-standard board height on the reference design) was to limit usage in datacenter style rack-mount cases. You have to use a 5u if not 6u case for a normal 4090 vs a 4u case. The 4090 windforce v2 series card will fit in a 4u case if you use a water block.
It's interesting this specific card was redesigned this way too - it's the cheapest card with 16GB of memory, very cost effective for LLM inference...

Vayra86Too bad its the melty one,
I'm curious, has there been a case of a melted connector on a 4070Ti(super)?
I'm having trouble finding a single one :confused:

Nah, but I do enjoy using an adapter to connect my card, just lovely especially in those boutique cases that love to show off their cleanliness /s
Its a non issue, and yet its an issue, because its just completely unnecessary.

Somehow I don't think you're in danger of buying an Nvidia gpu anytime soon lol /s
Personally I use 180 degree adapters anyway, and would likely buy a native PSU cable, and yet this orientation would mean I couldn't use the fancy 180 degree adapter that shows wattage too. I don't often show it off.. But
wolfSomehow I don't think you're in danger of buying an Nvidia gpu anytime soon lol /s
Haha you might get surprised ;)
The only constant in time is change
Fingers crossed for next generation to be mostly BTF connectors. Hopefully it's standardized.
