Cheap, but not cheap: KFA2 / Galax GeForce GTX 1070 Ti EX in review

KFA2 uses the board of the GTX 1070 EX for the GTX 1070 Ti EX in the current revision. The component assembly has thus not changed as much as the actual board layout. This does not have to be a disadvantage, because this solution had already proved quite good.

KFA2 relies on uPI Semiconductor Corp’s P9511 as a PWM controller for the five GPU phases. The two phases for storage are controlled by a smaller dual-channel buck controller. All of the 5+2 phases rely on a MDU1514 from MagnaChip on the high-side, as well as two MDU1511 from MagnaChip on the low-side. Each MDU1514 is controlled by an uP1962 as a gate driver.

The back is largely free of larger active components. The voltage converter range looks very tidy and here also the thick thermal pad, which actively includes the backplate in the cooling.
