PNY RTX 4070 VERTO 12 GB Unboxing and Hands On – sleek, black MSRP card with two fans in dual-slot design

The third card in today’s small roundup is the rather sleek PNY RTX 4070 verto 12 GB. For today’s launch day of the MSRP cards, we can of course unfortunately only show the cards that also meet NVIDIA’s specifications and are offered at the MSRP of 659 Euros. Since the performance in games and applications is the same for all these 200 watt cards, you can of course skip this part for now. The real differences are in the technical details of the implementation, especially the circuit board and cooler. But that’s exactly what I wrote in the two other hands-on.

This pushes up the time needed for the test, so I will catch up on these things in detail in a later individual test. Today we first have the technical specifications, many pictures and a very first assessment. The rest is then worked through continuously and conscientiously over the following period.

Of course, I also have a nice picture gallery for you and browsing through it could well be appetizing. Or not, depending on your wallet….

First of all, there is no surprise in the technical specifications:

The power limit is also a done deal and can no longer be changed. 200 watts are set by default, more is not possible:

The first hands-on shows that even 200 watts have to be managed. The card is hot after about 30 minutes in idle because the fan stop only ends well above the 50-degree mark and thus heats up the metallic backplate (yes, dear friends of MSI, this is also possible as an MSRP design). You notice that very quickly on your fingers. Otherwise, the fans start abruptly during load and cannot be ignored acoustically. Well, here neimendem immediately falls off the ear, but you notice the lightweight that air movement must compensate cooler surface.

For peace of mind, however, I can already assure you that the card does its job well. Because there are certainly worse things than fans that do what they have to. However, I didn’t notice anything of that, so I’ll give the all-clear here as well and refer to the upcoming single test.
