Nvidia RTX 4070 Graphics Card Review

Inno3D RTX 4070 Twin X2

Now, it doesn’t stop there, as we also have another MSRP-based card, with the Twin X2 model from INNO3D. Design-wise, it’s simple, and clean and looks more professional and less gamery, likely a reason how they’ve managed to keep the price at MSRP, while other SKUs from them should have a bit more flair, but you’d be expected to pay for it.

Again, size is kept to a minimum, coming in at 250mm long, 112mm high and again, 40mm wide, meaning it will also only take up two slots inside your case. Weight wise, it comes in at 966g, so 204g less than the Founders card, so again, you shouldn’t have any issue with sagging or need additional mounts to help prop the card up.

Now the most interesting thing about the INNO card is the power connector, because seemingly NVIDIA’s reference spec doesn’t have a mandatory 12VHPWR connector, and instead, this card features an 8-pin PCI-Express connector. Something that will potentially make AMD think about their future stack and how NVIDIA are able to compete on the more mid-tier range of cards, while featuring the same connector.

Taking the card apart is simple, with 8 screws for the backplate, a further 2 holding down the GPU to the main heatsink and 3 for the IO bracket.

Once removed, we again see a reference-looking PCB with the same 6 phases for the GPU, and a further two for the memory. It wouldn’t surprise me if custom AIB cards come with a beefier setup that can utilise higher power limits, which is something we’ll look at in future content as we get those types of cards in.

The backplate of the card also features some thermal pads to assist in cooling, though with a TGP of 200W, it’s likely not needed, it’s still nice to see.
