Nvidia’s RTX 4070 Ti actually is nearly upon us, the rumor mill would have us consider, with recent photographic proof of the facility connector setup of this graphics card, displaying it gained’t be an influence hog.

VideoCardz (opens in new tab) leaked footage of Gigabyte’s RTX 4070 Ti Aero OC displaying the cardboard from varied angles – it’s white in colour, with a triple fan cooler – and we additionally get a glimpse of the facility adapter. Within the case of the 4070 Ti, Nvidia has gone for a twin 8-pin to 16-pin adapter (extra on that in a second).

All of this, naturally, assumes these photos aren’t faked, however they give the impression of being real sufficient.

As per earlier rumors, the RTX 4070 Ti is anticipated to have 7,680 CUDA Cores, with 12GB of GDDR6X VRAM (and we will see the reminiscence configuration on the field within the pics right here).

VideoCardz reckons that the 4070 Ti is a cert to be launched at Nvidia’s ‘particular handle’ at CES 2023 on January 3, and the graphics card ought to go on sale very shortly after – certainly, January 5 is the rumored on-shelf date.

Evaluation: Energy and pricing

With the load of rumors now, and the looks of images of an precise third-party mannequin of the RTX 4070 Ti, that CES launch is wanting just about like a certainty (or as sure as something from the rumor mill will get, anyway).

Whether or not it’ll go on sale immediately afterwards is the place there appears to be somewhat extra doubt, however once more, it is smart that it might, on condition that this GPU is basically a (barely) rejigged RTX 4080 12GB. (The cardboard that was prepped after which ‘unlaunched’ by Nvidia, as you’ll probably recall, which means that the whole lot was just about able to go together with this launch).

As for the facility adapter (wanted for ATX 2.zero energy provides, which is what most PCs have) utilizing a 2 x 8-pin configuration, that’s in fact a mirrored image that the 4070 Ti makes use of much less energy – it’s pegged at 285W by the rumor mill – than the RTX 4080, which is Three x 8-pin, and the RTX 4090, which is four x 8-pin.

Fortuitously, we’ve not witnessed any circumstances of melting adapters with the RTX 4080. These incidents have solely been seen with the RTX 4090, however solely in very unusual circumstances as Nvidia has made clear (doubtless as a result of connector not being seated correctly in its port).

All that continues to be to know concerning the 4070 Ti is its price ticket, which might be a vital factor, naturally. Given how AMD’s new RX 7900 XTX has made the RTX 4080 look much more overpriced than it already appeared, we’re anticipating Nvidia to pitch the RTX 4070 Ti at a extra cheap stage, in addition to dropping the value on the 4080 to compete higher with the RDNA Three flagship.

That’s the transfer that is smart to us, anyhow, notably if you additionally think about that Nvidia should justify why the 4070 Ti will (presumably) be cheaper than the ditched 4080 12GB, and a 4080 16GB worth drop would appear the plain means to take action. Nonetheless, what is smart and what occurs are sometimes two various things within the GPU world…
