$799 US (MSRP)GALAX GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER EX OC Unboxing & Closeup
The GALAX GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER EX White graphics card comes inside a standard cardboard box. The front of the package has the hodded figure which is part of the Gamer branding by GALAX and it also mentions the 1-click OC design.
The packaging has put a large emphasis on the RTX side of things as the first feature enlisted by AIBs will be NVIDIA Ada architecture, Ray Tracing & DLSS support. NVIDIA has bet the future of their gaming GPUs on Ray Tracing support as these are the first cards to offer support for the new feature. The back of the box is very typical, highlighting the main features and specifications of the cards.
There's also a focus towards GeForce.com on each AIB card through which users can download the latest drivers and GeForce Experience application which are a must for gamers to access all feature sets of the new cards.
The sides of the box once again greet us with the large GeForce RTX branding. There's also the mention of 16 GB GDDR6X (RTX 4070 Ti SUPER) memory available on the card.
Outside of the box, the graphics card and the accessory package are held firmly by foam packaging.
The graphics card comes with a few accessories such as the bundled GPU stand, RGB-Sync cable and manuals which might not be of much use for hardcore enthusiasts but can be useful for the mainstream gaming audience.
The card is bundled with a 16-pin to 2x 8-pin power adapter. The card is nicely wrapped within an anti-static cover which is useful to prevent any unwanted static discharges on various surfaces that might harm the graphics card.
The GALAX EX cooler is a huge design with which you can expect top-notch cooling results. The card measures 336 x 146 x 62 mm. The card features a 3-slot height which makes it quite bulky & that's what most of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER designs utilize since they are based on the same coolers as the RTX 4080 series.
The cooling shroud extends to the back of the PCB and it requires a casing with good interior space for proper installation.
The back of the card features a solid backplate that looks stunning. The backplate offers a lot more functionality than just looks which I will get back to in a bit.
In terms of design, GALAX is using its latest Extreme Cooling system which is designed to cool down the impressive Ada Lovelace GPUs from NVIDIA.
The heatsink comes in two modules, each of which is stacked with numerous amounts of fins made out of aluminum. The card uses a massive heatsink structure that makes direct contact with the GPU and the memory.
GALAX is using its latest Wings 2.0 dual-bearing fan design which comes in a triple-fan solution and each fan has a GALAX sticker placed on top of it.
The fans are a mix of 92mm designs on the sides and a central 102mm fan. All fans feature 5V ARGB LED effects which can be easily controlled through the onboard motherboard software or various other RGB sync solutions.
The fans also come with 0dB fan technology and the limit of fan operation is set at 60C for fan off and on modes. GALAX states that the new fans offer 25% higher airflow, 15% more air pressure, reduce air blockage by up to 50% and offer a 67% higher life expectancy.
I am back at talking about the full-coverage, full metal-based backplate that the card uses. The whole plate is made of solid metal with rounded edges that add to the durability of this card. The matte white finish on the backplate gives a unique aesthetic.
The graphics card also comes with a compact PCB design which means that the shroud, heatsink, and backplate are all extended beyond the PCB.
The third fan blows air through the heatsink and blows it out from the cutouts that are situated at the very end of the backplate.
There are cutouts in screw placements to easily reach the points on the graphics card. We can also see a large GeForce RTX logo on the back and the cut-out on the backplate is a very futuristic design on its own.
With the outside of the card done, I will now start taking a glance at what's beneath the hood of these monster graphics cards.
Once again, GALAX stands out with a very impressive cooling heatsink for the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti EX series graphics cards. It's massive with tons of aluminum fins and copper heatpipes stretching out from the baseplate.
The heatsink makes use of a total of eight 6mm heat pipes that extend throughout the internal assembly and dissipate heat from the various components to the fins.
The base itself is a solid nickel-plated base plate, transferring heat to the heat pipes in a very effective manner.
To top it all off, I/O on the graphics card sticks with the reference scheme which includes three Display Port 1.4a & a single HDMI 2.1 port.
GALAX GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER EX White Teardown:

The card runs at up to 2640 MHz clock speeds out of the box and has a TGP rating of 285W (Power Limit of 320W).
GALAX GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER EX White RGB Lighting Gallery:
The GALAX EX graphics card features a very unique aesthetic with an RGB-lit logo on the sides. All three fans also feature ARGB LED illumination and present a very colorful aesthetic. You can also set these to a single tone for a better viewing experience.
