Zephyr has introduced (thanks VideoCardz) the world’s first ITX-friendly Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070, making waves in the PC hardware community. This compact graphics card, named the RTX 4070 ITX Sakura Blizzard, features a single fan and a distinctive pink shroud, setting it apart from other ITX graphics cards.
Small but Mighty

The RTX 4070 ITX is slightly taller than the bracket height, so users should ensure compatibility with their cases. The card is powered by a single 8-pin power connector located at the upper rear corner.
Performance and Cooling
Beneath the shroud, the card uses a shortened PCB design with the AD104-250 GPU and 12GB GDDR6X memory, sticking to reference clocks without any overclocking options. Despite its compact size, cooling is efficiently managed. Zephyr’s tests show the card running 8 to 10 degrees Celsius cooler than some dual-fan models, maintaining a temperature of 73 degrees Celsius with a single fan spinning at 2,400 RPM.
Availability
The first batch of the RTX 4070 ITX Sakura Blizzard sold out in China, with a second batch expected by mid-July. This launch aligns with Nvidia’s new ‘SFF-ready’ initiative, promoting smaller system builds without sacrificing performance.
