Small but mighty: this tiny RTX 4070 Ti Super runs at full 285 W - Notebookcheck

Despite its compact size, the card retains the GPU's full 285 W power limit, with Zephyr claiming that its custom cooler can handle the heat without reducing clock speeds. The Sakura Snow X uses a CNC-machined all-metal enclosure with an integrated I/O bracket, with lower mounting tabs removed to reduce the chance of scratching the motherboard during installation.

The card comes with a 3,300 RPM 120-mm fan, but Zephyr will later offer a free 4,500 RPM replacement fan that customers can request and install themselves. The company claims the faster fan improves cooling, but at the cost of increased noise.

Performance options

For quieter operation, Zephyr recommends manually lowering the power limit to 220 W and reducing fan speed. According to Zephyr, this results in a performance drop of less than 5%. The card's backplate can also be customized with laser engraving on demand.

Limited availability

Zephyr says the Sakura Snow X is the only mass-produced single-fan RTX 4070 Ti Super in the world. The company has manufactured only a small batch, which is being sold through a partner's online store while supplies last. It has not disclosed an exact price or announced plans for an international release.

The launch follows several delays. Zephyr paused the RTX 4070 Ti Super project in March because of rising video-memory costs and demand from industrial buyers. It had released an RTX 4070 Super version instead, which is now being restocked alongside the new RTX 4070 Ti Super.
