Images have leaked of a new ASUS Custom Dual GeForce RTX 4070 Super GPU. The design of this graphics card showcases that it comes with two fans (hence the Custom Dual in the name) and the ‘Super’ label can be seen clearly on the front of the packaging in one of the renders.
The images of ASUS’s upcoming RTX 4070 refresh were shared by user momomo_us on X. No details or specs for the card accompany the images. But there are a few things that can be picked up on based on the leaks alone. For one, the size. This is a compact card. If you’re someone who runs a smaller PC case or has considered putting together a smaller form factor gaming PC, this is the kind of graphics card you’d want to consider.
According to wccftech, the ASUS Dual RTX 4070 Super is shorter than the regular model. So it should more easily fit into smaller cases. The card is designed with a 2.46 slot form factor and uses the new 12V-2×6 connector design. NVIDIA began rolling this connector standard out after issues with the 12VHPWR connector melting in consumers’ cards. And it looks like ASUS is set to refresh its 40-series with this new connector layout in the Super variants of each card.
ASUS will launch OC and non-OC variants of the RTX 4070 Super
Launch dates haven’t been confirmed yet but the cards are expected to make an appearance at CES in early January. They may also end up seeing a release later in the month. Prices are also not confirmed yet but it’s expected that the cards will retail for more than $500. Pricing will also vary slightly depending on the model of the card. The ASUS Dual RTX 4070 Super will reportedly come in an OC variant and a non-OC variant. This is in addition to two variants of the TUF Gaming model of the same card. All four of these are likely to have different pricing however they should be close in cost.
You’ll have to work out whether or not that’s worth the money. But if it comes with the 14% performance boost it’s suspected to have, then the answer to that is probably yes if you’re not already on a regular RTX 4070 GPU.
Rumors of 40-series Super GPUs started popping up around mid-October. But this would be the first time that leaked images of the card itself have surfaced along with the leak.
