Colorful, a global graphics card manufacturer, has released the Tomahawk series, which has a relatively low price range, with excellent cost-effectiveness and true performance. The colorful GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Tomahawk EX D6X 12GB, which gave points with intense red color in gray color, eliminated the colorful and complicated design and improved the completeness with a simple and simple design.
It is impressive to completely break away from the monotonous and cheap image of the RTX 30 series, and it can be stably installed in a mid-tower case with a brick-like durability and a 2.8 slot. It has the same performance as the previous generation flagship model GeForce RTX 3090, and the 10+2 phase power supply supports a solid power supply to increase stability even during long-time gaming. Supplied via 12VHPWR adapter.
Unlike products released by overclocking after receiving a reference GPU from Nvidia, it focuses on stable performance with a graphics card that operates at an operating speed that does not change significantly from the clock of the reference model.
It is equipped with a dedicated ray tracing core that implements realistic and immersive graphics, AI (artificial intelligence) accelerated performance, DLSS3, the best game responsive reflex low-latency platform for victory, and NVIDIA Studio that increases creative productivity.
The inside of the graphic card box was packed thickly using Styrofoam cushioning material and vinyl to prevent damage to the product.
The components are provided neatly with the graphics card body wrapped in anti-static vinyl, a quick guide, and a 12VHPWR adapter.
Its simple yet solid appearance, like looking at bricks, proves its excellent durability. Equipped with three fans and a thick heatsink covering the GPU and memory, it can effectively cope with high heat. It looks much more refined than the design of previous versions of the Tomahawk graphics card.
The exact size is 326.5mm(W) x 149.7mm(L) x 60.5mm(H) and the weight is about 1520g. part of making
Equipped with three 98mm cooling fans, it boasts excellent heat control performance by significantly improving air pressure and inflow. The Zero FAN function is installed, so the cooling fan can be stopped or operated intelligently according to the GPU temperature.
▶ Idle state (usually GPU temperature below 50 degrees): Cooling fan stopped
▶ Under load (usually GPU temperature is over 50 degrees): Cooling fan running
In order to prevent the graphics card PCB board from bending, a solid gray-toned metal backplate was installed, and cooling performance was improved by creating completely open cooling holes. It protects the graphics card, acts as a heatsink to dissipate heat, and a body disassembly prevention seal is attached over the screws.
Six 6mm heatpipes and a heatsink control the GPU temperature, and three cooling fans are installed to maximize heat control performance.
With a neat and compact layout of 3 fans, the RTX 4070Ti GPU is located in the center, and the outstanding performance and stability of the graphics card can be seen through GDDR6 12GB memory, high-performance capacitors, and 10+2 phase power supply.
For stable power supply, the auxiliary power terminal is composed of 12 pins, and a 12VHPWR adapter is included as standard. It is connected with two 8-pin GPU connectors, and the maximum power used is 285W, and the recommended power is at least 750W.
The PCI-E expansion slot is basically designed as the 4.0 version, which is twice as wide as the existing 3.0 and operates at a high speed to realize high performance.
For users who want to build a system with more than a dual display, HDMI 2.1a x1, DP 1.4a x3 configuration can output up to 7680×4320 8K resolution, making it perfectly compatible with 4K monitors and enabling ultra-high resolution gaming environments with multiple displays. .
HDCP supports version 2.3, and the 2.8-slot dual mounting bracket is made of solid stainless steel, making it hard and corrosion-resistant.
Colorful GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Tomahawk EX D6X 12GB Installation is simple and only requires two PCI slots to install neatly. One thing to note is that you should purchase it after checking whether it can be installed in a PC case by referring to the width of 326mm.
In the idle state, the zero fan function is activated and the operation of the cooling fan is completely stopped so that the graphics card itself does not generate noise.
The three high-performance cooling fans realize complete silence that does not operate in idle state, and reduce heat by operating under load during game play or graphic work.
The reference 2,610 MHz operating clock was slightly overclocked (4.0%) in Colorful and redesigned to operate with a 2,715 MHz boost clock. Detailed settings of the graphics card are made through the iGAME CENTER program, and clock speed, lightning, overclocking, monitoring, etc. can be controlled.
Fire Strike, a high-performance gaming PC measurement item including graphics card, came out with 36739, and Time Spy, which shows the performance as a DX12 gaming PC, came out with an acceptable score of 8596.
The Portal Royale score, which checks the performance of ray tracing by implementing real-time ray tracing using DXR, which was newly added to the DirectX 12 API, was measured as a significant value of 14112.
The frame change when playing the performance of the DLSS 3 version, which is fully supported by GeForce RTX 40 series graphics, in the actual game came out at a fairly satisfactory level. In Cyberpunk 2077, a representative game that supports DLSS3, a difference in performance from a minimum of 60 frames to a maximum of 90 frames was confirmed.
NVIDIA DLSS technology is an AI-powered acceleration that dramatically improves game graphics performance, resulting in frame-boosting effects. DLSS 3 is powered by the new 4th Gen Tensor Cores and Optical Flow Accelerator in GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs, and AI-powered to generate additional high-quality frames, which is especially effective in high-end games.
DLSS and the much-talked-about ray tracing technology use Nvidia’s Ada architecture to simulate how light is implemented in the real world. It is a feature often used in 3D animation or design technology, and also allows you to experience virtual worlds in incredible detail with the power of GeForce RTX 40 series and 3rd generation RT cores.
The second game that supports DLSS3, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, also has a noticeable frame improvement effect.
The image quality has improved significantly even to check with the naked eye, and the frame change of more than 2 times is personally surprising. The DLSS test environment of Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 was tested on a 60Hz monitor with FHD resolution, and the game frame rate can vary depending on the PC specifications, monitor resolution, and frame rate.
After finishing the game, the GPU temperature measured in Afterburner is also on the low side overall. When playing Cyberpunk 2077, the highest temperature was 54 degrees, while The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt measured 62 degrees.
If you have found out the GPU core temperature with GPU-Z, you have measured the external (heat sink, cooling fan) temperature of the graphics card installed in the case through a temperature meter. The heat sink was measured at 27.3 degrees and the cooling fan was measured at 32.8 degrees, keeping the temperature significantly lower than that of the higher-end models.
When the entire air-cooling system is operated at 100%, 316.4W is measured when considering TGP 285W, confirming the excellent true-to-noise ratio, which is an advantage of a mid-range graphics card. The power consumption during idle is 76.2W, and when there is no work (idle state), the zero fan function is activated to greatly reduce power consumption.
It is a graphics card that boasts the same performance as the previous generation flagship model, GeForce RTX 3090, and the effect of DLSS3 is very satisfactory.
At the time Nvidia announced the DLSS technology, it was evaluated as a groundbreaking technology, but there were not many games to actually apply it, and there were many technical limitations. However, as the number of games to which DLSS is applied gradually increased and the disadvantages of the technology were compensated little by little, DLSS3 can now be applied.
The collaboration between ray tracing and DLSS3 is like a blessing to gamers, and it was clearly felt in the RTX 4070 Ti Tomahawk EX D6X 12GB product, which is a mid-range graphics card in the RTX 40 series. At the same time, it has a relatively excellent true-to-noise ratio compared to the upper model, so if you are contemplating between the lower and upper models, you may want to consider this product.
