MSI has so far presented 12 different versions of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super video card. Two more have been added to the list – in Expert and Aero versions.
The most interesting of them, perhaps, is the Expert version. The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super in this version is equipped with a very attractive cooling system with fans on both sides, which makes it similar to the reference Founders Edition from NVIDIA. Some of the elements of the cooling system casing (in particular, the grille on the front side of the card) refer to the appearance of the GTX 400/500 video cards based on the Fermi architecture.
Previously, the company released the GeForce RTX 4080 Super model in the same version. Like the older model, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti has retained the thickness of three expansion slots, so this must be taken into account when choosing.
In turn, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super Aero model is equipped with a simple cooling system with a tangential fan. Until this moment, MSI had only released the RTX 4060 in this design. NVIDIA itself is not very fond of cards with this design, since they are often used not for games, but for computing loads and cryptocurrency mining, costing customers less than specialized video cards designed for these loads . For this reason, NVIDIA at one time insisted that card manufacturers stop producing the RTX 3090 with cooling systems of this type.
Since the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti received not only a more powerful GPU, but also a memory buffer increased from 12 to 16 GB, which is useful, for example, for AI tasks, Aero cards have every chance of being used in non-gaming applications.
As VideoCardz writes, the MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Aero has already gone on sale on Amazon, where it is offered for $899, which is $100 more than the recommended price of the RTX 4070 Ti Super, announced by NVIDIA. The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super Expert has not yet been available for sale.
