Just ahead of AMD’s Radeon RX 6000 Series graphics cards launch, NVIDIA appears to be scrambling with new ways of reinforcing its GeForce RTX 30 Series lineup.
A new rumor from proven leaker kopite7kimi suggests that NVIDIA is reviving its plans for a GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, which had reportedly been canceled. This SKU will leverage a cut-down version of the GA102 GPU (GeForce RTX 3090, GeForce RTX 3080) that puts it between the GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3070 in terms of performance.
The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is also said to feature 7,424 CUDA Cores and 10 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 320-bit interface. In contrast, the standard GeForce RTX 3070 features 5,888 CUDA Cores and 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit interface.
With all of these worrisome rumors going around (e.g., alleged cancellation of GeForce RTX 3080 20 GB and GeForce RTX 3070 16 GB models), NVIDIA is beginning to look like a chicken with its head cut off.
GA102-150-KD-A1, 7424FP32, 320bits
