Want better Cooling? Get this. - ASUS RTX 4070 GPUs

this is an RTX 4070 Founders Edition the first 40 series card actually getting somewhere near that wonderful 500 price point for a graphics card it's cool but you know what it's not as cool as these Asus add-in board partner RTX 4070s with bigger coolers overclocking and our look at it today is sponsored by Asus so we actually get to to try these out and see how they compare to the founders cards with a little bit of gaming a little bit of unboxing we've got two of asus's 4070s here today this one is the Dual it's got two fans as the name implies it's the more affordable version it matches the MSRP of the founders card it's still got lots of cooling it's still got two fans it's lots of i o it's a it's an Asus card so it's going to perform great and then this is the bigger one it's not quite strict here but it is tough so they use high quality components it's got a much bigger cooler three fans it's got pass-through cooling like the founders card they still wow is that an eight pin they both just use an eight pin hey yeah they both use just a single eight pin power connector which is great if you have a power supply that might only have one or something that's a little bit lower wattage the founders card is the high power 12 pin connector but it does come with an adapter however that adapter needs two eight pins this is just one which is great for compatibility like if you don't need it why would you bother including right let's get one of them open I like the tough one this is the fancy one I'm definitely more of a fancy products kind of guy there's a graphics card in here no way all right tough card anything else in here usual propaganda oh they're little like cardboard cutouts is this like functional for something Asus always has these cool little like I don't know little freebie things in the boxes they'll give you big sticker packs or like just cool little cute things is this a phone holder this might be a phone holder look at that wonderful certificate of reliability oh that's kind of cute what else is in here oh there's a this what is this oh yeah look at that it looks like a tire pressure gauge but it is actually whoa is that a screw what it's a screwdriver too I've never taken this out before it's a graphics card like anti-sag little Mount that you put under your GPU I didn't know it was also a screwdriver that's kind of cool so I guess everything you need to install this graphics card comes in the Box look you can even put it in the handle and then you got a handle for the screw all right the Dual both of these cards have 12 gigabytes of gddr6 and memory like every other 4070 they have a TDP of 200 watts each which um I mean means you can like I said before you can use it with a pretty not beefy power supply which is really nice there's more stuff oh is this another phone holder Bell now you can have one here quick start guide how to install a graphics card in a book cool I'm so excited that there's peels Asus always has so many peels this little screwdriver is very helpful fan size wise Founders Edition is still the smallest this is a bit bigger but not crazy and then of course the tough is the big boy it's large but it also means it's going to be very quiet and very cool the founders Edition is a true two slot card the Dual is a little bit bigger so it's like a two point all right 2.5 slot card it is pretty tall too and the tough It's hard to say but I'm gonna go with like a a 3.1 slot cooler hey look I was almost right the tough card is 3.15 slots according to Asus it's like this bottom part is probably the the 0.15 you only need the two actual physical slots but you are gonna need enough space to fit this card in with the big honk and cooler on there in terms of the Dual it's got an aluminum backplate which is really nice to see on a budget card like this the two fans we mentioned earlier they're 11 blades each it has a dual buy-off switch which is nice because you're gonna have like performance mode and quiet mode if you want it to be quieter it'll have the clock speed limits and the power limits set a little bit lower to decrease the noise or if you're like in a small form factor build it might be something you want to try to use other than that it's just a nice cute little cooler it's very short by five years ago standards this was a big card but nowadays I mean look it's only 267 millimeters long which in terms of compatibility will fit in a lot more cases it does also have the airflow pass through over here like we've been seeing on the founders cards for the last you know last little while oh yeah I guess IO is another thing three DisplayPort 2 HDMI on the Dual and it's the same on the tough the tough has three of the 11 blade axial tech fans and is just one millimeter over 300. it's It's 301 millimeters it also has a dual bios switch just like the Dual so you've got quiet in performance mode it has a new fancy where's the tough logo on here so this is an argb tough logo which is kind of cute I mean design wise I like it I mean this is what you're going to see in your computer a normal computer and it it looks nice I like it I'm not a huge fan of cards that are like super RGB and this is nice and clean and simple which is usually they're tough kind of look this one very similar just blacked out however you can get this card in white soon which is kind of cool if you have like an all-white build this would look pretty sweet in there cool I guess let's put in a computer the Dual we have is the non-oc Dual but the tough card is the OC which is the overclocked version we get 105 megahertz over the founders card which is you know that's the megahertz boom graphics card it's crazy in 2023 to be plugging in one power connector only this computer doesn't have a power button so I figured I'd use my little screwdriver hey look at that oh look at the it's so cute can you see that I lied it's more than the logo it's this bar too that is a appropriate amount of RGB compared to this we got GPU tweak 3 installed here which is Asus is new well GPU tweaking software and I was trying to figure out how do you put this thing in OC mode oh look right there OC mode done that's it it increased our our megahertz 30. look at that you can also do cool things like you just set the power Target like higher or I'm not gonna do that I'm just gonna put it in OC mode and leave it there and then we can we can play some games just for clarification for anything further this is gonna be running at 1440p it's a 4k monitor but I just changed the resolution I want to try furmark I want to just like make this thing hurt a little bit and see what it does GPU boost clock yeah AAA sure why not why not 4x8 yeah man this thing sips power it only draws 200 Watts that's it GPU performance limiters we are limited by power makes sense we'll just let that simmer for a minute look at that that's so cool you can see that it's drawing 140 Watts from the eight pin power connector 141 Watts whatever pcie slot is providing 58 59 Watts a lot of sensors on these things nowadays it seems like we've leveled off at this point it's not in a case obviously that's that's going to be a big factor as soon as you put a box around whatever product you're heating up there's a lot more thermal constraints but on this open air test bench in the room it's about 21 degrees in here 56 degrees on the GPU the fan I don't even hear it I actually hear like the the vrm noise from the motherboard like coil wine louder than I hear the graphics card Advance which is really impressive it's kicking off you know a fair bit of heat but then again it's only 200 Watts which for a modern graphics card is is very efficient and a lot of that is because of nvidia's new Ada Lovelace architecture you're also going to get things like DLS S3 which is great if you want to say Ray trace and you don't want to spend 1500 on a graphics card well this 680 dollar one can probably run those games Ray traced with dlss frame generation and still look really good but yeah overall it's very quiet very cool open air but yeah the clock speed too where we are running at yeah 2760 2770 we were power limited which makes sense it is set to a 200 watt power limit we could go in in GPU tweak and turn our power Target up to like 110. I see it looks like 108 is the max but I'm just gonna leave it for now because we want to see what this is like stock mind you stock but in the OC profile let's try cyberpunk oh we're boosting higher 28.35 let's go wait 28.35 damn boy that's some clock speed was it supposed to be 2580 GPU boost is is doing its thing it's giving us the Boost we're in cyberpunk we're on Ray traced Ultra quality profile 1440p and we're getting 40 47 FPS 48 fps there's no DLS that's on right now no frame generation no super sampling nothing this is just the raw performance of the car which to be honest at 1440p basically Max settings very good totally playable but if we go let's turn frame gen on and we'll leave it on auto I think now how many FPS do we get well it's way smoother 130 135 what was that at Before 40 three times the FPS that's a that's a lot more FPS and it looks good like it doesn't feel like super slow like the latency is almost so little that I don't even notice it especially in a game like this this would not bug me at all it's quiet the whole time too I mean let's see what kind of clock speeds we're getting GPU boost is obviously going to go crazy we're getting 28 65 megahertz on the GPU it looks like Peak there's sometimes we're at like 28.50 GPU boost is obviously going to go past what the default boost is you know depending on where you are in this scene this is probably where I was changing settings but around 190 200 Watts Temps 55 56 like we were seeing in for Market again it was super quiet the whole time this is a great cooler for sure and good performance in terms of pricing like I mentioned before this tough OC is 680 and the Dual Nano C so there's an OC version but this is the non-oc 600 US Dollars which is the same as the founders card the Dual comes in white or black like we mentioned before the tough only comes in Black these are both available right now so you can go and pick one up at the link down in the description or if you want to wait for the strix cards or the white version of the Dual they're going to be coming later this month and that's pretty much all there is to say it's it's a great cooler it's quiet it's fast it's thanks to Asus for sponsoring this video and that's why you get to see it yeah get subscribed like it goodbye
