Zotac RTX 4070 Ti Trinity OC – review

The new Zotac GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Trinity OC is the 3rd highest segment in RTX 4000 series affair with a 2.5-slot design and triple-fan cooler, near-identical to the released Zotac GeForce RTX 4080 Trinity OC graphics card. Underneath is the Ada Lovelace AD104 GPU on TSMC’s custom 4nm node, with 12GB of super-fast GDDR6X memory.

Feature Highlights:
– Powered by NVIDIA DLSS 3, ultra-efficient Ada Lovelace arch, and full ray tracing
– Strong Performance
– IceStorm 2.0 Advanced Cooling
– FREEZE Fan Stop, Active Fan Control
– SPECTRA 2.0 RGB Lighting
– Metal Backplate
– Bundled with GPU Support Bracket
– All-new FireStorm Utility

The back of the ZOTAC RTX 4070 Ti Trinity OC shows a large backplate fitting to the card which helps to cool and stiffens the card so as to not flex around. Zotac did redesign the backplate. Dimensions of the card are 306.8mm x 119.4mm x 58.5mm.

The Zotac GeForce RTX 4070Ti Trinity OC is fitted with 12 Gigabyte GDDR6X memory, it runs at 21 Gbps (effective data rate) and that is a lot of bandwidth. The IO panel shows three DisplayPort 1.4a, and one HDMI 2.1a connectors that will bring 8K 60 Hz HDR to a single HDMI cable.

Zotac sticks to new industry standard 12VHPWR power inputs. Combined with PCIe slot power, this configuration is rated for 285 W.

How We Test Zotac RTX4070Ti Trinity OC

GeForce RTX 4070Ti is the third highest end graphics card in Nvidia’s Ada Lovelace-based segment. As such, our graphics workstation, based on an MSI Z790I Edge motherboard and Intel Core i9 13900K 24 cores processor.  The ram we will be using is  XPG DDR5 6000Mhz memory kit. Samsung 980 Pro 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD is used as well to run with benchmark.

We will be using latest Nvidia DCH driver 531.18 and Windows 11 Professional Build.

Notice: During our test with resizable bar enable and disable, it made no noticeable difference in performance.

Ashes of the Singularity Escalation

As a real-time strategy title, Ashes is all about responsiveness during both wide open shots but also concentrated battles. With DirectX12 at the helm, the ability to implement more draw calls per second allows the engine to work with substantial unit depth and effects that other RTS titles had to rely on combined draw calls to achieve, making some combined unit structures ultimately very rigid.
