The official launch of Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card is allegedly just a few days away, so we’re not stunned by the excess of photographs of yet-to-be-announced add-in-boards that includes the cut-down AD104 ‘Ada Lovelace‘ GPU proven by momomo_us (opens in new tab), alexwifi42 and Italian vendor Drako.it (opens in new tab) (and located by our colleagues at VideoCardz).
On the specs facet of issues, photographs of GeForce RTX 4070 graphics playing cards by Gigabyte, Palit, MSI, and Zotac present us nothing new, as we already know from the leaks (which ought to be taken with a grain of salt, but at this level they’re greater than more likely to be correct) that these AIBs carry a cut-down AD104 graphics processor with 5,888 CUDA cores and paired with 12GB of GDDR6X reminiscence.

Gigabyte is prepping 4 GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card designs, with solely the WindForce and Eagle fashions delivery with normal 8-pin auxiliary PCIe energy connectors, whereas the Gaming and Aero fashions may have 12VHPWR 16-pin connectors. All 4 designs may have three followers, based mostly on the leaked photographs.
One of many issues that strikes the attention with the images of the upcoming GeForce RTX 4070 graphics playing cards from Gigabyte, Palit, MSI, and Zotac is that almost all of them are triple-wide with an enormous cooling system, simply as my colleague Mark reported yesterday in regards to the hoard of MSI’s GeForce RTX 4070 AIBs.
Whereas it’s not significantly stunning that lots of GeForce RTX 4070-based graphics playing cards will likely be enormous, contemplating the overclocking potential of the GPU that powers them, it’s affordable to anticipate extra compact AIBs too. That is maybe the place MSI’s GeForce RTX 4070 Ventus 2X comes into play. The board encompasses a dual-fan two-wide cooling system and can seemingly match into most of PCs utilized by avid gamers. In fact, completely different GeForce RTX boards function completely different energy connections, some preserve utilizing well-proven eight-pin plugs, whereas others make use of the all-new 12VHPWR.
Apparently, budget-friendly choices from Zotac and Palit can even have dual-fan designs and 12GB of GDDR6X reminiscence, but take the knowledge with a grain of salt as this comes from unofficial sources.
