I couldn't agree with this more. Not to mention the insane number of pointless SKUs - why sell everyone the same 2-3 models when you can increase prices across the board and convince consumers they need to spend $500+ on a motherboard.
GPU SFF 4070 Models

Inno3D also has that 4070 with 3 fans and a longer heatsink as well that would deliver serious coolness for something that's 200w and still dual slot. Which sounds perfect for Dan A4-SFX and Ghost S1 owners.
As for AMD, what really bugs me is that there are tons of articles out there where this illustration of a single-fan refererence card is featured, yet it doesn't even exist. It has the reference design with a single fan - sometimes from another angle or different background... there are tons of shots out there featuring this card.
Yet there was never an ITX reference card like that, but they used it in so many articles and spec sheets that's not even related to small cards, just plainly Radeon gpu's.
This is also a popular one - does anyone saw something like that IRL? NO. Then WHY? Why tease us with these? It's seems awesome, people are seeing it only to never actually find any. It's not said anywhere that this never ever had a physical form, I remember you eventually had to come to the conclusion that it's probably doesn't exist. Despite that they used these an awfully lot. These two are even all over on AMD's official website, so why didn't they actually make this when they used it literally everywhere is beyond me.
The answer is probably that they never actually made any reference card from the 6500 to 6650xt, only 6700 and above. And articles mentioning those in general without narrowing it down to a certain aftermarket model could use some of these assets, but come on... Just take a look at the sales, the 6600xt is probably the best seller of the bunch, so why they left that money on the table? These cards look awesome and they could've sold quite much.

Not a 4070 but we will get at least one 4060 Ti, Palit RTX 4060 Ti StormX OC.
They were nice enough to give us a great shot of the rear PCB. Lets see if we can't find some 4070 PCB's that matches this layout.
EDIT: it might not work this time... with different memory buses, the topography might be too different.
There's no reason that the 4070 or 4070ti couldnt be in a 200mm reference card dimension like the Evga 3060ti XC, so if we just wait, hopefully some vendor will design it. Its only a 200 watt part and does not need a 260mm heatsink
The 4060/60ti is underpowered frankly (it should really be called a 4050), but at least there is an extremely short 155mm version available, which could make for an interesting build possibility. So hats off to Inno3d who thought... hmm... this is only a 115 watt part so we can make it smol.

Well.... cr*p. I took the two images and examined the mounting holes..... the 4060's have square mounts around the GPU die while the 4070's have rectangular ones. There is no way any of these coolers will mount to a 70 card this gen. I should have figured that out sooner before posting, but O well.
The Zotac 4070 Twin will fit in my current case, and is the only upgrade path I would consider right now. I have a 2070 still serving me fine, but I was just expecting more performance from the 4070 this generation with the prices NVIDIA are charging. I think I'll wait and see if they do a mid-gen refresh like the 20 series.

Anybody heard about the Gigabyte RTX 4070 Windforce 2X ?
I just randomly found it.

Yup I have been eyeing it for a bit but holding out hope they create a 4070 Super variant of it!!Anybody heard about the Gigabyte RTX 4070 Windforce 2X ?
