NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4060 Ti Founders Edition GPUs pictured, compact PCB and cooling

Two previously unreleased NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Founders Edition graphics cards have been represented including the RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4060 Ti.

Starting with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Founders Edition graphics card, we can see the images of the PCB and cooling. Most of you will remember that the card didn’t get the FE or Founders Edition treatment at launch and the green team focused on custom variants. This was due to the fact that the RTX 4070 Ti was originally going to be called the RTX 4080 12GB, but the card received a lot of backlash for using the 4080 naming scheme and offering a much lower and different level of performance than the RTX 4080 12GB. 16 GB. .

The sudden “Release” and name change of the card meant that NVIDIA had little time to make enough RTX 4070 Ti Founders Edition coolers for the launch, which was less than a few weeks away, and thus the company decided to keep it. as an exclusive option of AIB. . But that doesn’t mean NVIDIA hasn’t produced a Founders Edition model. The card had an FE PCB and cooling design.

The PCB was very compact with an 8+2+1 phase PCB layout and a single 16 pin header to boot it. The GPU cooler was also shorter than the cooling solution used for the RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 cards with a copper motherboard and lots of aluminum cooling fins surrounding the shroud with a flow-through fan design incorporating two fans.

The second card that has been photographed by the same leaker, KittyYYuko, it is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti graphics card and we can see the cooler only for this variant. The card reads GeForce RTX 4060, but the leaker is confident that it is the 4060 Ti and we think it could be a prototype FE model compatible with the RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4060 graphics cards. The RTX 4060 (Ti) graphics card comes in a dual-slot form factor with a flow-through design. This FE variant looks much shorter than the RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 cards, and the die-cast aluminum frame is thicker and has a more matte look than the shiny, metallic surface of higher-end cards. It looks like this card will also use the 16-pin connector, but it will get a TDP rating closer to 200W, as revealed in previous rumors.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti “rumored” specs:

The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is expected to use the AD106-350-A1 GPU core, a scaled-down version of the full AD106 graphics chip, and is rumored to pack 34 SM or 4352 CUDA cores, an 8GB GDDR6 memory. running at 18 Gbps over a 128-bit bus interface, giving the card 288 GB/s of bandwidth. There’s also 32MB of L2 cache on the GPU, which is an 8x increase over the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.

Like the RTX 4070, the RTX 4060 Ti will continue to use the PCIe Gen5 12VHPWR connector as NVIDIA wants to standardize it across the line. The graphics card will also feature compact PCB layouts in reference and non-reference flavors. The card is expected to run at 160W TGP, which is 20% less than its predecessor, the RTX 3060 Ti.
