The card as shared by VideoCardz is a part of the ASUS’ Megalodon series which is a China exclusive series that was used for the previous 30 series generation. The RTX 4070 card features all the expected specs with 5888 cores and 12GB of VRAM but it comes with a factory overclock of 2520 MHz as well as a DUAL BIOS switch. Unlike the concept which we saw at Computex, this model of the card ships with a standard 8-pin power connector. The cooler itself features three axial-tech dual-bearing fans and measures 310mm taking up 2.5 slots plus it features a reinforced ventilated backplate with a shadow of the anime girl mascot on the backplate. The design itself is fairly pleasant with its symmetrical outer rings and a blue strip along the side with the ASUS logo which I’d guess could feature blue LEDs judging by its slight transparency.
