GIGABYTE RTX 4070 Ti Pictured, Includes 2x 8-pin to 16-pin Adapter for 300W Power Delivery
Here are some of the first pictures of a GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 Ti custom-design graphics cards, the RTX 4070 Ti AERO. GIGABYTE targets the AERO brand of graphics cards, motherboards, and notebooks, at creators who like to game, hence the product design that's a lot less flashy than the company's AORUS or Gaming OC brands of graphics cards. An interesting aspect of this card is that it features a 16-pin ATX 12VHPWR connector, and includes an NVIDIA-supplied power adapter that converts two 8-pin PCIe power connectors to one 12VHPWR. We know this adapter is different from the 2x 8-pin to 12-pin adapter NVIDIA included with the RTX 3080 Founders Edition, looking at the four sensor pins.
The connector has keying for 300 W, and so the typical board power of the RTX 4070 Ti will be at or below 300 W. The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is essentially a re-branding of what would have been the RTX 4080 12 GB, had NVIDIA not decided to "unlaunch" it. The SKU maxes out the 4 nm "AD104" silicon, featuring 7,680 CUDA cores across 60 streaming multiprocessors (SM), 240 Tensor cores, 60 RT cores, 240 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. The chip features a 192-bit GDDR6X memory interface, which was at the heart of the RTX 4080 12 GB naming controversy.

Sadness is knowing there is no EVGA model coming.
x070ti card at 999, or 899? If so, more (justified) NV hate incoming.
If it is to cost 899, it'll possibly get trounced in raster but the RT media machine will sell it anyways.
the 4080 is 1200 dollars (400 dollars less for this one and room inbetween for the inevitable 4080ti)
the 4070ti at 900 dollars is 300 dollars less and its the next one down, so its more then likely.
the 4070 might be 800 dollars...
either way, you are all the consumers, im not buying shit so if these prices hold, its yall's fault.
There isn't really a proper solution for the power connector position. Where ever it's placed, someone will have issues with it.
The only place it won't be in the way for anyone is next to the HDMI port, via a wall adapter :P
Bonus points for it destroying every single thing on your case if you bend the cable even slightly in the wrong direction.
I guess big size is what sells now, look at my monster card with a 192 bit bus 60-class GPU under the hood.
No no, you all AIBs got it wrong.. Just give me 10 K shaders of pure PCB with $199 water block.
I was planning on getting Sapphire 7900 xtx though so won't be a problem there
I also don't have a problem with the power connector, but I'd sure like an explanation as to why it exists.
