It's important to stress that, as there is no Founders Edition card for the RTX 4070 Ti, we were sampled with the Gigabyte Gaming OC model. While this has not increased the power limit from the reference figure of 285W, it does ship with a 30MHz factory overclock. For the purposes of our testing today however, where all other cards are tested at reference specifications, we have downclocked the card by 30MHz, using MSI Afterburner, so it operates at reference speeds.
