NVIDIA plans for RTX 3070 Ti with 16GB VRAM confirmed by leaked prototype

A uncommon graphics paper has been discovered lately. 

Some rumors bash crook retired to beryllium true. Just arsenic we were expecting quality connected RTX 3090 Ti successful precocious 2021, NVIDIA was besides preparing RTX 3080 12GB and RTX 3070 Ti 16GB graphics cards. Only 2 retired of 3 were yet released.

NVIDIA canceled the RTX 3070 Ti 16GB exemplary which was supposedly equipped with GA104-401 GPU. This paper was to diagnostic the aforesaid GPU specs arsenic RTX 3070 Ti 8GB but for a higher representation capableness and antithetic clocks. It was speculated that this mightiness beryllium NVIDIA’s effect to the upcoming Intel Arc A770 16GB GPU, nevertheless arsenic we cognize the competitor’s paper was pushed backmost by astir fractional a year.

The GPU-Z bundle shows a basal timepiece of 1590 MHz and boost astatine 1800 MHz, this is respectively 25 and 30 MHz faster than RTX 3070 Ti 8GB. The output besides shows that the paper uses GDDR6 representation alternatively of GDDR6X. This means that the bandwidth is little (512 GB/s vs 608 GB/s).

As we tin see, this paper is not a customized model, but alternatively a prototype utilizing RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition design. The lone happening that does not look close is the SKU logo, which reads RTX 3070.

The leaker did not stock immoderate show figures for this card, but 1 tin spot that it works with the existent drivers truthful that shouldn’t truly beryllium a problem. This paper is astir surely a prototype that someway escaped from NVIDIA HQ captivity. Interestingly, this leak appears conscionable days distant from RTX 4070 Ti motorboat with 12GB memory.
