MSI is preparing to launch the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER graphics card equipped with AD102

Previously, there were reports that NVIDIA would update some of its GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards, introducing new chips for use, including the RTX 4070, RTX 4060 Ti, and RTX 4060, covering the mainstream to upper-midrange segments. Recently, NVIDIA seems to have further advanced this approach by using larger chips with more extensive shielding and downgrading.

According to Wccftech, MSI has prepared a model named “MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Ventus 3X Black,” which features an almost entirely black appearance, distinct from previous designs which combined silver with black. More uniquely, this graphics card is equipped with an AD102-225-A1 chip, differing from the typical AD103-275 found in standard RTX 4070 Ti SUPER models. This suggests it belongs to a new version of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER using the AD102 chip.

The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER boasts 8,448 CUDA cores, a 48MB L2 cache, and is equipped with 16GB of GDDR6X memory, a 256-bit memory interface, and a memory speed of 21Gbps, resulting in a memory bandwidth of 672GB/s. Notably, the complete AD102 chip contains a total of 18,432 CUDA cores. In comparison, the RTX 4090/4090 D activates 16,384/14,592 of these cores respectively, meaning the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER utilizes only about 45.83% of the total CUDA cores, less than half.

Observations indicate that the component arrangement on the back of the core of MSI’s new graphics card differs from the typical RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, instead matching the layout seen in ASUS’s recently launched “TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16GB GDDR6X OG” card. This indicates that both ASUS and MSI have introduced new graphics cards featuring the AD102 chip for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, suggesting that more manufacturers may soon release similar products.
