According to reports, ASUS recently unveiled the new Prime GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER graphics card, which uses NVIDIA's AD102 GPU, which is a different chip from the AD103 GPU used in the previous RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. The AD102 is a high-end chip in the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture and is typically used in higher-end graphics cards such as the RTX 4080 and RTX 4090. The new RTX 4070 Ti SUPER graphics card is designed to meet the requirements of SFF-Ready, with an overall size of 300 x 120 x 50 mm and a thickness of 2.5 slots, which can fit into small chassis. And they are known for being SFF-Ready compatible, with a triple-fan, 2.5-slot cooler for cooling, and according to the official website, the RTX 4070 Ti Super is comparable to it regardless of the size of the cooler.
ASUS's SFF-Ready brings a lot of convenience to small case users, and it usually has a smaller measurements, such as the ASUS Prime GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER graphics card, which measures 300 x 120 x 50 mm, and meets the 304 x 151 x 50 mm specification required by the NVIDIA SFF-Ready specification. Due to its small size, the SFF system is more portable and flexible. In addition, ASUS's SFF-Ready graphics cards feature efficient thermal designs, such as a triple-fan cooling system and a large cut-out backplate, to ensure good cooling performance even in tight spaces.

The boost frequencies in performance mode and silent mode are 2610/2640 MHz and 2625/2655 MHz respectively in the standard and OC versions of this graphics card. They all use a 16-pin 12VHPWR interface. The capacitor layout on the back of the graphics card shows the use of the AD102 chip, which could mean that ASUS may launch higher-end Prime GeForce RTX 40-series graphics cards in the future, such as the RTX 4080 SUPER model. The AD102 chip is used for the first time in the 4080 Super and 4090 Super, which are tested to be slightly more power-hungry than the AD 103 in the 4070 Ti Super. Industry insiders say the move to the AD102 and the integration of the chip marks the end of the Ada Lovelace product as the Blackwell RTX 50 series graphics cards are on the horizon. The only difference between the two Prime models is the factory overclocking available for the OC version. The OC version has a base clock frequency of 2625 MHz and can be overclocked up to 2655 MHz, while the standard model has a base and overclocking status of 2610 MHz / 2640 MHz. Higher clock speeds can be achieved manually using ASUS's GPU Tweak 3 software.
ASUS's Prime GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER graphics card also comes with some advanced features, such as AI performance up to 710 AI TOPS, support for NVIDIA's DLSS 3 technology, and fourth-generation Tensor Cores and third-generation RT Cores, which provide superior ray tracing and AI acceleration performance. In addition, this graphics card also has the SFF-Ready logo indicating that it is suitable for small chassis builds, and it has a 2.5-slot design to provide greater build compatibility while maintaining thermal performance.
At the moment, the price and availability date of the ASUS Prime GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER graphics card have not been announced, but it is expected to be available in the online store soon. At the same time, people in the market are also looking forward to the release of NVIDIA's RTX 50-series graphics cards before the end of 2024.
