A few days ago we reported on the silent cancellation of GeForce RTX graphics cards 3070 16 GB and GeForce RTX 3080 20 GB. Earlier, information on the discontinuation of work on the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, based on the full Ampere GA core 104. Interestingly, today there were reports suggesting that NVIDIA is working on another project. The mysterious GeForce graphics card would also be equipped with a GA core 102, as would the GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3090. This would be a core designated GA 102 – 150 with the weakest parameters. The most likely scenario is that NVIDIA still intends to introduce the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti card, but with a completely different specification than we thought so far. .

According to the latest reports, NVIDIA is preparing the Ampere GA core 102 – 150, which will be the most truncated version of GA 102. So we expect the debut of the graphics card between the GeForce RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 .

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti (or SUPER , however named the manufacturer of this card) will be equipped with the Ampere GA core 102 – 150 being worked on. The GPU continues to offer 28, 3 billion transistors and surface area 628 mm². However, it will come with 7424 CUDA Cores, 232 Tensor Cores, and 58 RT cores, and therefore 58 active SM blocks. It will therefore be the most trimmed GA version 102 with a lower TDP, but the same performance compared to GeForce RTX 3080 will not be noticeably lower. Especially since the mysterious GPU will also receive 10 GB of GDDR6X VRAM on the bus 320 – bitwise.

So it looks like NVIDIA has not completely ditched the GeForce RTX design 3070 Ti. Instead, it decided to introduce a noticeably stronger version with faster memories but also a higher TGP. The original variant was to use the full GA core 104 with 6144 CUDA cores. The new card will therefore be roughly halfway between the full GA 104 and GA 102, known from GeForce RTX 3080. We also expect the upcoming GPU to be somewhat of a response
