NVIDIA's RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Models Use Repurposed RTX 4090 Chips
MSI and Colorful introduce new GPU variants with cut-down AD102 silicon, boosting power consumption without extra performance.
- New RTX 4070 Ti SUPER models feature the AD102 chip, originally used in RTX 4090 cards.
- The repurposed chips result in higher power consumption, with models ranging from 295W to 310W.
- Despite using the AD102 chip, the performance remains identical to standard RTX 4070 Ti SUPER cards.
- This strategy allows NVIDIA to utilize underperforming AD102 chips that don't meet higher GPU requirements.
- Consumers won't see a performance gain but will experience higher power usage and potentially larger card sizes.
