Sometimes it’s refreshing to look at what’s being done on Asian markets, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do. Indeed, the Chinese branch of Asus is unveiling a new card from its Megalodon series, a range that is totally unknown here. And to complete this series, what could be better than an RTX 4070 ATS (Atlas Shark)?
RTX 4070 ATS: a refreshing design!
With this card, the Asian branch offers us a rather compact model… At least, one that occupies just over two slots in a PC. This is quite a change from the Strix and TUF versions with their 3 slots. However, the brand has opted for a three-fan heatsink that measures 31 cm in length. The back of the card features a perforated backplate.
In terms of operating frequencies, this model runs at 2550 MHz boost, a gain of +3% over the reference card. A dual bios(Silence and Performance) is also present. Memory is unaffected, and still runs at 21 Gbps.
As for connectivity, this is a card that will require an 8-pin PCIe for power supply. Otherwise, there are three DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.1.
Finally, this is a model that retails at 3299 RMB, or $464 USD after conversion. Unfortunately, we’re unlikely to see it arrive in France, or even in Europe, as it’s a model only available in China.
Here’s the datasheet (Asus China)!
