1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,600
this is an RTX 4070 Founders Edition the

2
00:00:03,300 --> 00:00:09,420
first 40 series card actually getting

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:14,219
somewhere near that wonderful 500 price point for a graphics card it's cool but

4
00:00:12,059 --> 00:00:20,880
you know what it's not as cool as these ASUS add-in board partner RTX

5
00:00:17,699 --> 00:00:22,619
4070s with bigger coolers overclocking

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:26,100
and our look at it today is sponsored by ASUS so we actually get to to try these

7
00:00:24,779 --> 00:00:30,539
out and see how they compare to the founders cards with a little bit of

8
00:00:27,779 --> 00:00:36,540
gaming a little bit of unboxing we've got two of ASUS's 4070s here today this

9
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:39,300
one is the Dual it's got two fans as the

10
00:00:36,540 --> 00:00:43,920
name implies it's the more affordable version it matches the MSRP of the

11
00:00:41,879 --> 00:00:49,260
founders card it's still got lots of cooling it's still got two fans it's

12
00:00:46,379 --> 00:00:53,219
lots of i o it's a it's an ASUS card so it's going to perform great and then

13
00:00:50,940 --> 00:00:56,940
this is the bigger one it's not quite strict here but it is tough so they use

14
00:00:55,260 --> 00:01:00,480
high quality components it's got a much bigger cooler three fans it's got

15
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:05,400
pass-through cooling like the founders card they still wow is that an eight pin

16
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:09,479
they both just use an eight pin hey yeah they both use just a single eight pin

17
00:01:07,979 --> 00:01:12,900
power connector which is great if you have a power supply that might only have

18
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:16,439
one or something that's a little bit lower wattage the founders card is the

19
00:01:14,820 --> 00:01:20,400
high power 12 pin connector but it does come with an adapter however that

20
00:01:18,119 --> 00:01:23,759
adapter needs two eight pins this is just one which is great for

21
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:28,020
compatibility like if you don't need it why would you bother including right

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:32,400
let's get one of them open I like the tough one this is the fancy one I'm

23
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:37,619
definitely more of a fancy products kind of guy

24
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:40,740
there's a graphics card in here no way

25
00:01:37,619 --> 00:01:41,520
all right tough card anything else in

26
00:01:40,740 --> 00:01:47,040
here usual propaganda oh they're little like

27
00:01:45,479 --> 00:01:50,579
cardboard cutouts is this like functional for something ASUS always has

28
00:01:49,020 --> 00:01:53,939
these cool little like I don't know little freebie things in the boxes

29
00:01:52,140 --> 00:01:57,840
they'll give you big sticker packs or like just cool little cute things is

30
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:02,640
this a phone holder this might be a phone holder look at that wonderful

31
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:07,500
certificate of reliability oh that's kind of cute what else is in here oh

32
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:10,020
there's a this what is this oh yeah look

33
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:15,840
at that it looks like a tire pressure gauge but it is actually

34
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,400
whoa is that a screw what it's a

35
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:23,640
screwdriver too I've never taken this out before it's a

36
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:25,260
graphics card like anti-sag little Mount

37
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:28,560
that you put under your GPU I didn't know it was also a screwdriver that's

38
00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:32,760
kind of cool so I guess everything you need to install this graphics card comes

39
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:38,580
in the Box look you can even put it in the handle and then you got a handle for

40
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:45,000
the screw all right the Dual both of these cards have 12 gigabytes of gddr6

41
00:02:41,340 --> 00:02:48,239
and memory like every other 4070 they

42
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,800
have a TDP of 200 watts each which

43
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:54,019
um I mean means you can like I said before you can use it with a pretty not

44
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:58,379
beefy power supply which is really nice there's more stuff oh is this another

45
00:02:56,340 --> 00:03:01,680
phone holder Bell now you can have one here

46
00:03:00,239 --> 00:03:06,840
quick start guide how to install a graphics card in a book cool

47
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,980
I'm so excited that there's peels ASUS always has so many peels

48
00:03:13,379 --> 00:03:21,120
this little screwdriver is very helpful fan size wise Founders Edition is still

49
00:03:18,780 --> 00:03:25,800
the smallest this is a bit bigger but not crazy and then of course the tough

50
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:29,280
is the big boy it's large but it also means it's going to be very quiet and

51
00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:34,200
very cool the founders Edition is a true two slot card the Dual is a little bit

52
00:03:32,220 --> 00:03:38,879
bigger so it's like a two point all right 2.5 slot card it is pretty tall

53
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:43,140
too and the tough It's hard to say but I'm gonna

54
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:49,620
go with like a a 3.1 slot cooler hey look I was almost

55
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:54,120
right the tough card is 3.15 slots according to ASUS it's like this bottom

56
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:57,239
part is probably the the 0.15 you only need the two actual physical slots but

57
00:03:55,860 --> 00:04:02,340
you are gonna need enough space to fit this card in with the big honk and

58
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:06,000
cooler on there in terms of the Dual it's got an aluminum backplate which is

59
00:04:04,260 --> 00:04:10,860
really nice to see on a budget card like this the two fans we mentioned earlier

60
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:13,739
they're 11 blades each it has a dual buy-off switch which is nice because

61
00:04:12,420 --> 00:04:16,979
you're gonna have like performance mode and quiet mode if you want it to be

62
00:04:15,420 --> 00:04:20,880
quieter it'll have the clock speed limits and the power limits set a little

63
00:04:18,660 --> 00:04:23,220
bit lower to decrease the noise or if you're like in a small form factor build

64
00:04:22,019 --> 00:04:27,600
it might be something you want to try to use other than that it's just a nice

65
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:33,000
cute little cooler it's very short by five years ago standards this was a big

66
00:04:29,580 --> 00:04:37,320
card but nowadays I mean look

67
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:39,060
it's only 267 millimeters long which in

68
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,780
terms of compatibility will fit in a lot more cases it does also have the airflow

69
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:45,780
pass through over here like we've been seeing on the founders cards for the

70
00:04:44,340 --> 00:04:50,460
last you know last little while oh yeah I guess IO is

71
00:04:48,060 --> 00:04:54,240
another thing three DisplayPort 2 HDMI on the Dual

72
00:04:52,139 --> 00:05:00,540
and it's the same on the tough the tough has three of the 11 blade axial tech

73
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:03,540
fans and is just one millimeter over

74
00:05:00,540 --> 00:05:05,340
300. it's It's 301 millimeters it also

75
00:05:03,540 --> 00:05:09,540
has a dual BIOS switch just like the Dual so you've got quiet in performance

76
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:14,400
mode it has a new fancy where's the tough logo on here so this is an argb

77
00:05:12,419 --> 00:05:17,220
tough logo which is kind of cute I mean design wise I like it I mean this is

78
00:05:16,259 --> 00:05:23,039
what you're going to see in your computer a normal computer and it it looks nice I like it I'm not a

79
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:28,320
huge fan of cards that are like super RGB and this is nice and clean and

80
00:05:25,620 --> 00:05:33,720
simple which is usually they're tough kind of look this one very similar just

81
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:37,979
blacked out however you can get this card in white soon which is kind of cool

82
00:05:36,180 --> 00:05:41,940
if you have like an all-white build this would look pretty sweet in there cool I

83
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:46,560
guess let's put in a computer the Dual we have is the non-oc Dual but the tough

84
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:52,320
card is the OC which is the overclocked version we get 105 megahertz over the

85
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:57,660
founders card which is you know that's the megahertz

86
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,720
boom graphics card it's crazy in 2023 to

87
00:05:57,660 --> 00:06:02,400
be plugging in one power connector only

88
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,759
this computer doesn't have a power button so I figured I'd use my little

89
00:06:04,020 --> 00:06:09,960
screwdriver hey look at that oh look at the it's so

90
00:06:08,039 --> 00:06:14,880
cute can you see that I lied it's more than the logo it's this bar too that is

91
00:06:11,940 --> 00:06:20,639
a appropriate amount of RGB compared to this we got GPU tweak 3 installed here

92
00:06:17,940 --> 00:06:23,880
which is ASUS is new well GPU tweaking software and I was trying to figure out

93
00:06:22,259 --> 00:06:30,960
how do you put this thing in OC mode oh look right there OC mode done that's it

94
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:32,759
it increased our our megahertz 30. look

95
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,660
at that you can also do cool things like you just set the power Target like

96
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:39,780
higher or I'm not gonna do that I'm just gonna put it in OC mode and leave it

97
00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:42,300
there and then we can we can play some games just for clarification for

98
00:06:41,220 --> 00:06:45,600
anything further this is gonna be running at 1440p it's a 4k monitor but I

99
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:50,039
just changed the resolution I want to try furmark I want to just like make

100
00:06:48,180 --> 00:06:54,620
this thing hurt a little bit and see what it does GPU boost clock yeah

101
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:04,080
AAA sure why not why not 4x8 yeah man

102
00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:07,740
this thing sips power it only draws 200 Watts that's it

103
00:07:05,699 --> 00:07:11,699
GPU performance limiters we are limited by power makes sense we'll just let that

104
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:15,900
simmer for a minute look at that that's so cool you can see that it's drawing

105
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:22,680
140 Watts from the eight pin power connector 141 Watts

106
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:25,440
whatever PCIe slot is providing 58 59

107
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:29,220
Watts a lot of sensors on these things nowadays it seems like we've leveled off

108
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:32,819
at this point it's not in a case obviously that's that's going to be a

109
00:07:31,259 --> 00:07:35,819
big factor as soon as you put a box around whatever product you're heating

110
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:43,380
up there's a lot more thermal constraints but on this open air test bench in the room it's about 21 degrees

111
00:07:39,539 --> 00:07:46,400
in here 56 degrees on the GPU the fan I

112
00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:46,400
don't even hear it

113
00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:51,419
I actually hear like the the vrm noise

114
00:07:49,919 --> 00:07:56,699
from the motherboard like coil wine louder than I hear the graphics card

115
00:07:53,819 --> 00:08:01,139
Advance which is really impressive it's kicking off you know a fair bit of heat

116
00:07:58,979 --> 00:08:05,340
but then again it's only 200 Watts which for a modern graphics card is is very

117
00:08:03,599 --> 00:08:08,520
efficient and a lot of that is because of NVIDIA's new Ada Lovelace

118
00:08:07,139 --> 00:08:12,180
architecture you're also going to get things like DLS S3 which is great if you

119
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:18,240
want to say Ray trace and you don't want to spend 1500 on a graphics card well

120
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:21,479
this 680 dollar one can probably run

121
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:23,099
those games Ray traced with dlss frame

122
00:08:21,479 --> 00:08:29,099
generation and still look really good but yeah overall it's very quiet very

123
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:34,260
cool open air but yeah the clock speed too where we are running at yeah 2760

124
00:08:31,580 --> 00:08:39,120
2770 we were power limited which makes sense it is set to a 200 watt power

125
00:08:36,300 --> 00:08:43,800
limit we could go in in GPU tweak and turn our power Target up to like 110. I

126
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:47,640
see it looks like 108 is the max but I'm just gonna leave it for now

127
00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:52,380
because we want to see what this is like stock mind you stock but in the OC

128
00:08:49,980 --> 00:08:57,480
profile let's try cyberpunk oh we're boosting higher 28.35 let's go wait

129
00:08:55,560 --> 00:09:04,380
28.35 damn boy that's some clock speed was it

130
00:09:00,899 --> 00:09:06,300
supposed to be 2580 GPU boost is is

131
00:09:04,380 --> 00:09:13,080
doing its thing it's giving us the Boost we're in cyberpunk we're on Ray traced

132
00:09:09,420 --> 00:09:17,279
Ultra quality profile 1440p

133
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:19,380
and we're getting 40 47 FPS 48 FPS

134
00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:24,360
there's no DLS that's on right now no frame generation no super sampling

135
00:09:21,959 --> 00:09:30,240
nothing this is just the raw performance of the car which to be honest at 1440p

136
00:09:27,180 --> 00:09:32,399
basically Max settings very good totally

137
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:37,320
playable but if we go let's turn frame gen on

138
00:09:33,540 --> 00:09:39,180
and we'll leave it on auto I think now

139
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:45,240
how many FPS do we get well it's way smoother

140
00:09:40,700 --> 00:09:48,420
130 135 what was that at Before 40 three

141
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:50,279
times the FPS that's a that's a lot more

142
00:09:48,420 --> 00:09:54,899
FPS and it looks good like it doesn't feel

143
00:09:51,660 --> 00:09:56,820
like super slow like the latency is

144
00:09:54,899 --> 00:10:00,600
almost so little that I don't even notice it especially in a game like this

145
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:04,500
this would not bug me at all it's quiet the whole time too I mean let's see what

146
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:10,140
kind of clock speeds we're getting GPU boost is obviously going to go crazy

147
00:10:06,180 --> 00:10:12,420
we're getting 28 65 megahertz on the GPU

148
00:10:10,140 --> 00:10:16,080
it looks like Peak there's sometimes we're at like 28.50 GPU boost is

149
00:10:14,519 --> 00:10:19,620
obviously going to go past what the default boost is you know depending on

150
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:26,640
where you are in this scene this is probably where I was changing settings but around 190 200 Watts Temps

151
00:10:24,420 --> 00:10:31,800
55 56 like we were seeing in for Market again it was super quiet the whole time

152
00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:34,220
this is a great cooler for sure and good performance

153
00:10:37,019 --> 00:10:46,860
in terms of pricing like I mentioned before this tough OC is 680 and the Dual

154
00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:51,720
Nano C so there's an OC version but this is the non-oc 600 US Dollars which is

155
00:10:49,140 --> 00:10:54,899
the same as the founders card the Dual comes in white or black like we

156
00:10:53,339 --> 00:10:57,779
mentioned before the tough only comes in Black these are both available right now
