Today we have returned to the RTX 4070 Ti Super just a couple weeks on from its launch, with this review of Palit's GamingPro White OC model. While a lot of attention will deservingly go towards the design and aesthetics, Palit has also built an effective cooler that performs well against the competition.

Out of the box, the GPU only peaked at 63C, with the default fan curve being very easy on the ears, as noise-levels hit just 34dBa, making this the quietest of the three 4070 Ti Supers we have tested so far. It also delivered the best noise-normalised thermal results, though we would expect that considering it is also the biggest and heaviest of the three models tested. Still, a win is a win and the cooler here is more than capable of dealing with the 285W AD103 GPU under the hood.

 

Subjectively, it's a great-looking card too with plentiful RGB lighting. Palit deserves credit for implementing an on-board 5V ARGB header, allowing users an easy way of synchronising the card's lighting with the rest of your system.

While that's a positive, I still find it disappointing there is no dual-BIOS switch, something I would certainly expect at the price point of the 4070 Ti Super as this is not a cheap graphics card. We even said the same in our 4080 Super JetStream OC review and that graphics card is even more expensive, so I do think Palit needs to start adding dual-BIOS as a priority for its next generation graphics cards.

Additionally, Palit is generally quite conservative with its power limits, as this can only be increased to 300W (+5%) with the GamingPro OC. If you're not planning on overclocking it won't make a difference to you, but we did see a higher average clock speed from the Gigabyte Aero OC, which is capable of increasing the power limit to 320W (+12%).

The final quirk is that it's not currently clear how much the GamingPro White OC will cost UK buyers. I found the regular black model for £850, so we'd expect a small premium for the white model. It's definitely worth considering Palit RTX 4070 Ti Super GamingPro White OC if pricing is not too far above the £850 mark, though other models like the Aero OC are similarly priced yet offer higher power limits and dual-BIOS, which is also food for thought.

Pros

• White aesthetic will have strong appeal.
• Large cooler delivers excellent thermal results.
• Very quiet out of the box.
• Best-performing 4070 Ti Super we've tested when noise-normalised.
• On-board 5V ARGB header.
• Capable for both 1440p and 4K gaming.
• Support for the full RTX feature set including DLSS, ray tracing etc.

Cons

• Power limit can only be increased by 15W (5%).
• No dual-BIOS.
• UK pricing is not clear for the white model.
• Gigabyte Aero OC is smaller and offers better memory thermals.

KitGuru says: If you're shopping for a white graphics card around the £800 mark, the Palit GamingPro OC white is worth looking at, though it faces stiff competition from the likes of the Gigabyte Aero OC.
