INNO3D RTX 4070 Super Twin X2 Graphics Card Review

A Closer Look
It’s a gorgeous looking graphics card, with a metallic two-tone finish on the top and a set of screws giving it a slick industrial aesthetic. It’s a design we’ve seen on plenty of INNO3D cards too, but that doesn’t lessen the appeal one bit.
There are two large fans, each featuring an 11-fin design that should allow them to move a fair bit of airflow even at lower RPM. The fans are capable of running up to 2100 RPM too, so should give some seriously cooling performance when needed.
Also quite impressive is the overall size of the card, which is nicely slim, not exceeding a two-slot design, so it’ll be more compatible with smaller and slimmer builds unlike the more high-end cards in the Nvidia range.
Tucked into the side of the card, you’ll find the now fairly common 12VHPWR power connector, meaning you only need the one power cable.
The backplate is robust, but is also partially open, allowing one of the fans to blow air through the card, further enhancing the overall cooling performance.
Towards the back of the card, you’ll find four display connectors comprising of three DisplayPort and one HDMI connector, which is the same configuration seen on the Nvidia founders Edition.
Tearing down the cooler, we get a good look at the PCB, which features six 2GB VRAM chips, giving the card its 12GB total.
The VRM configuration does look like it has had a few upgrades too, with two more capacitors on the back row, and one more on the chipset side compared to the Founders Edition, and more robust chokes too, allowing this card to push a slightly higher overclock, which we’re told should be about 50MHz over stock easily enough.
The backplate has three thermal pads, allowing additional cooling for the VRM and VRAM chipsets.
Plus, there are quite a significant number of thermal pads on the heatsinks, covering the capacitors, chokes, VRM, VRAM, and surrounding components, ensuring everything is directly cooled, rather than relying on just air cooling for some of it.
