ASUS has launched the GeForce RTX 4070 Turbo, a performance segment graphics card that features a lateral blower-style turbine cooling solution that is ideal for environments with limited airflow (such as stacking graphics cards in an AI processing box). The thickness of the graphics card is only 2 slots, the height does not exceed the full height of the add-in card (11.1 cm), and the length is 26.9 cm.
This graphics card has no backplate, thus providing more ventilation space for adjacent boards. Its only power connector (8-pin PCIe) is located at the end of the card instead of the top, which also allows for more space.
The ASUS Turbo RTX 4070 cooling solution uses a copper baseplate that delivers heat to an aluminum channel stack, ventilated by side-facing turbine heatsinks, and a cooling fan equipped with high-durability dual ball bearings.
The RTX4070 GPU at the core of the graphics card adopts NVIDIA standard specifications, with a boost frequency of 2475MHz and a memory speed of 21Gbps GDDR6X. It has 12GB of memory on a 192-bit memory bus.
There are two SMD switches on the card, the "Turbo" switch overrides the software fan control and keeps the fan on a steep fan curve, even up to 100%; while the VM_SW switch switches between "Quiet" and "Performance" modes, we don't know if this uses a dual BIOS mechanism or is a physical switch by ASUS's GPUTweak software.
Asus has not announced pricing information for its GeForce RTX 4070 Turbo graphics card.
