The GeForce RTX 4070 Blower: Compact Cooling Power
The GeForce RTX 4070 Blower from PNY is the latest addition to their graphics card lineup. This AI turbo graphics card offers a compact cooling system and impressive performance. While currently only available in China, it can be purchased and shipped worldwide, with the possibility of future availability in the U.S. and Europe.
PNY, a prominent graphics card company, is offering a single option for the RTX 4070 - the GeForce RTX 4070 Blower. Equipped with an AD104 graphics processor featuring 5,888 CUDA cores operating at 1,920 MHz to 2,475 MHz, this graphics card delivers exceptional power. It also includes 12GB of GDDR6X memory and four display outputs (three DisplayPorts 1.4 and one HDMI 2.0b), requiring an eight-pin auxiliary PCIe power connector.
The standout feature of the GeForce RTX 4070 Blower is its compact cooler, measuring 278.4 mm x 119.4 mm x 40 mm. With this size, you can incorporate multiple cards into your PC, achieving professional-grade performance without the need for a high-end graphics card slot.
Blower type coolers, while not the quietest or most efficient, are ideal for cooling graphics cards in compact PCs that emit significant heat. These coolers exhaust warm air from the case, even in cases with limited air circulation.
Typically reserved for Nvidia's enterprise solutions, the inclusion of a blower cooler in the GeForce RTX 4070 Blower is a notable exception. This suggests that it may be worth considering for those looking for a more efficient cooler than the reference model.
Price is another important factor to consider. The GeForce RTX 4070 Blower is priced at ¥6,999 in China, equivalent to approximately $966 with taxes or $855 without. This price exceeds the recommended price of the GeForce RTX 4070 in the U.S. ($599).
PNY positions this product as an "artificial intelligence turbo graphics card" with a "silent turbine fan suitable for multi-card environments," targeting AI developers rather than gamers. We will update this story with more information regarding availability outside of China.
