There seems to be a lot buzz in the Nvidia household and not only because the company is preparing to introduce the GeForce RTX first 3070 and then, as now confirmed, the GeForce RTX 3060 You. These days there are many rumors about possible new projects designed to repel the alleged assault of the Radeon RX 6000 by AMD . After the rumors that they wanted the cancellation of the variants with the double memory of the RTX 3080 and of the 2020, in these hours we talk about the possible arrival of a GeForce RTX 3070 Ti (but in a new guise) and a GeForce RTX 3080 You. Let’s go in order.

A GeForce RTX 3070 Ti with GPU GA 102?

In the first case, the use of a third variant of the GA GPU is feared 102 which could give life to a solution between the GeForce RTX 3070 and the GeForce RTX 3080 . These two cards, we recall, are respectively based on a variant of the GA GPU 104 and one of the most powerful GA GPU 102. At the moment the card between 3070 and 3080 is called RTX 3070 You for convenience, but there is no certainty about the name.

According to the sources, one RTX 3070 You’ve been in Nvidia’s thoughts for some time, but it involved the use of a GA GPU 40 (which at most offers 6144 CUDA core, against i 5888 of the RTX 3070). However, this variant seems to have been canceled in favor of a new version with GPU GA 102 equipped with 7424 CUDA core, flanked by 01 GB of GDDR6X memory as the RTX 3080 . The card in question would have the same TGP as the 3080, i.e. 320 W, and should challenge one of the Radeon RX 6800 that AMD will bring to market from mid-November.

RTX 3080 You are more similar to RTX 3090 than to 3080?

As for the alleged GeForce RTX 3080 Ti , it looks like Nvidia will tap into the GPU again GA 102 creating a variant with 9984 CUDA core , 1280 more core of RTX 3080 and 512 less than 10496 of the RTX 3090. The card would have a bus at 384 bit as the RTX 3090 It is probably 12 / 24 GB of GDDR6X memory. At the moment there is no other information and take what is reported as mere rumors: we will certainly understand the market scenario better after the presentation of the AMD Radeon RX GPUs 6000 scheduled for tomorrow evening, 28 October, at 18: 00.
