NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, once the 12GB RTX 4080 that was canceled due to the “confusion” it generated, continues to add to its catalog with custom models. This time it’s up to ASUS with its ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Tiwhich have standard and OC versions, start from the same base and on paper they should offer a very similar performance, but with a different aesthetic finish and with the first including something more “brilli-brilli” than the second.
the graph ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4070 Ti it packs all the spices one would expect from the Taiwanese hardware giant’s Republic of Gamers line, finished with a striking cyberpunk-inspired aesthetic and RGB lighting for the most immersive or eye-catching experience, depending on the case. It is a graph that occupies 3.15 slots of the box that holds the desktop computer and has a length of 336 millimeters.
The graphics card features a large surface area on its MaxContact heat sink for airflow supported by three 11-blade ASUS Axial-tech fans, which drive 31% more air volume and 56.3% more pressure. static than the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080. Although the dissipation system sounds bulky, the reality is that noise levels should be low thanks to the use of a back plate that guarantees airflow and 0dB noise technology. the company.
Other features of the ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4070 Ti are the possibility of choose between performance and silent modes with a Dual BIOS switchconnecting PC case fans with FanConnect II headers, and the ability to light things up with a ring of ARGB taillights compatible with ASUS’ Aura sync solution.
On the other hand is the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Tiwhich occupies 3.25 box slots that holds the computer components and has a thicker heatsink, although in return it is somewhat shorter than its ROG Strix counterpart as it has a 305 mm length. The active part of the dissipation is made up of three eleven-blade Axial-tech fans, so it should be able to sustain temperatures in contexts where heavy loads are executed on the GPU.
The unibody die-cast cover shares the same structural strength as TUF Gaming’s RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 models, and the wide vent on the backplate should improve airflow compared to previous generations. The ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti also provides a Dual BIOS switchto which are added the redesigned ARGB TUF logo along the cover, military-grade capacitors and the Auto-Extreme build quality employed by the ASUS TUF line.
In short, ASUS is making available two GeForce RTX 4070 Ti models with similar orientations, but with a different aesthetic finish. On paper, the TUF model should be at least a little cheaper than the ROG.
