MSI launches GeForce RTX 4070 TI SUPER EXPERT and blower-style AERO GPUs

MSI RTX 4070 Ti SUPER

MSI preparing even more RTX 4070 Ti SUPER graphics cards.

MSI has 12 different RTX 4070 Ti SUPER designs, but they are not the only ones. The company is just about to announce two more cards based on this NVIDIA SKU that is only 1.5-month-old.

MSI EXPERT

The EXPERT GPU series is possibly the most interesting GPU design announced at CES. It is definitely not the design for everyone, but the majority of GPU enthusiasts were excited to see something entirely different from conventional open air cooler design. This model is now being brought to the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER model, while retaining the triple-slot cooling design from RTX 4080 SUPER.

This series is grounded in the concept of the NVIDIA Founder’s Edition push-pull cooler design, featuring only two fans directing air in two different directions. MSI aptly named this cooling solution the “MSI Flow Frozr” design. The front of the GPU features a mesh metal cover, reminiscent of the iconic GTX 400/500 Fermi designs.

MSI AERO

It might have seemed that MSI decided to stop releasing AERO GPUs for the consumer market. It is worth noting that MSI did launch RTX 4060 AERO, which is currently the only consumer AERO design available with ADA architecture. But we have actually seen some high-end releases that were supposed to be under NVIDIA radar, while they were targeting crypto and AI firms.

The RTX 4090 AERO model was basically made as a wallet-friendly option compared to the RTX ADA workstation series. They rock similar GPUs, but not everyone needs more than 24 GB of memory. This unexpected competition to more expensive workstation cards forced NVIDIA to help board partners “unlaunch” many of the RTX 3090 blower-style cards. Many of such cards disappeared from the market just as quickly as they were announced.

While there hasn’t been much talk about RTX 4080 AERO, but it looks like the cheaper RTX 4070 Ti SUPER now sporting 16 GB memory, is a suitable candidate to bring the series officially back.

The RTX 4070 TI SUPER AERO is already on sale on Newegg where the card costs $899 , which is $100 higher than MSRP. The reason why is obvious, this card is targeting AI companies rather than gamers. This cooler is better suited for GPU cluster installations. The power connector being located at the rear is also a convenient feature for such systems.
