The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, once the 12GB RTX 4080 was canceled due to the “confusion” it caused, continues to add its own models to its catalog. This time it’s up ASUS with ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Tiwhich have standard and OC versions, they are based on the same base and on paper should offer very similar performance, but with a different aesthetic treatment and with the former containing a bit more “brilli-brilli” than the latter.

chart ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4070 Ti graphics card it packs all the spice you’d expect from the Taiwanese hardware giant’s Republic of Gamers line, topped off with a striking cyberpunk-inspired aesthetic and RGB lighting for the most immersive or engaging experience, as the case may be. It is a chart that it occupies 3.15 slots of the box that holds the desktop computer and is 336 millimeters long.

The graphics card has a large airflow area on the MaxContact cooler, 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. the dispersion system sounds voluminous, the reality is that the noise level should be low thanks to the use of a back plate that guarantees airflow and 0dB noise technology.

Other ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4070 Ti features are possible choose between performance and quiet mode with the Dual BIOS switchconnecting PC case fans with FanConnect II headers and the ability to light things up with a ring of ARGB backlights compatible with ASUS’ Aura sync solution.

There is on the other side ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Tiwhich occupies 3.25 box slots which holds the computer components and has a stronger cooler, although in return it is slightly shorter than its ROG Strix counterpart because it has length 305 mm. The active part of the dispersion is made up of three 11-blade Axial-tech fans, so it should be able to maintain temperatures in contexts where the GPU is under heavy load.

The unibody die-cast enclosure 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 is added the redesigned ARGB TUF logo along the cover, military-grade capacitors and the Auto-Extreme build quality used by the ASUS TUF series.

In short, ASUS is making available two GeForce RTX 4070 Ti models with a similar orientation but with a different aesthetic treatment. On paper, the TUF model should be at least a bit cheaper than the ROG.
