Lately we are seeing a trend from big brands, which is that they seek to completely customize their components so that the user can see, directly through the design, that for example a printing house belongs to Gigabyte. In this case this brand presented a new GPU which offers excellent performance, but changes the design a little to be able to offer better cooling and even a connector “hidden«, we present to you the new RTX 4070 Ti SUPER WINDFORCE MAX OC from Gigabyte.
Almost every day we can see new components that make us rethink what companies want to offer, since they can present, for example, a model that completely changes the design to facilitate connection. This is the view in the versions of ASUS that allows you to offer a more secure system that “eliminates” the cables, but now Gigabyte requires the form of the mover and the connector to make it much easier to use in configurations that have a chassis bigger.
A graphic that arrives with a different design
Before starting with the importance of the position of the connector of this new graphics card, we must point out that the design, although it seems quite similar to those that can be found in the chart of Gigabyte, is quite different since it comes with several improvements. This model is a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPERwho arrives with a overclocking by the manufacturer and which offers a total of 16 GB of VRAM, but which stands out mainly for the changes that the brand has made in terms of cooling to increase its performance.
To reduce the temperatures it is capable of generating, this graphics card has three 100mm fans which allow it to offer airflow that passes towards a large finned aluminum heatsink with nine heat pipes copper, and has a direct contact base, also made of copper. This allows us to reduce temperatures, which gives us the possibility of increasing the performance of this graphics card, since it improves the overclock that the previous model (also with OC) was capable of offering, going from 2,625 MHz to 2,655 MHz.
Obviously, as we can imagine, the heat sink that it includes is extremely large, which allows better air circulation inside the graphics card, but which in turn also poses a problem in Because of its height, that’s the real reason they changed the site connector.
The “hidden” connector really isn’t that hidden
When we talk about a hidden connector, we think of the one that allows us to eliminate the cables from our field of vision, but in this case it is indeed a hidden connector because we cannot see it at first sight. naked eye, but once the cable is connected, stands out a little. As we indicated previously, this connector is not really “hidden” as such, but rather it is an initiative by Gigabyte so that this graphics card can be used in larger configurations, since being larger , the cable would not reach if it were. to connect normally.
This is why the connector of this graphics card, instead of being in the usual place, is at the end of the length of the graphics card, that is, we can find it in the hole that has this model, to connect it without the cable being doubled.
