Possible GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Specifications Surface
It turns out that NVIDIA is giving the GeForce GTX 1070 more than a minor refresh. The new performance-segment SKU, which is slated to come out just before Holiday 2017, could perform very very close to the GTX 1080, although sufficiently spaced out from the GTX 1080 refresh (featuring 11 Gbps memory). According to specifications leaked by Chinese tech publication MyDrivers, NVIDIA will give this SKU the coveted "Ti" moniker after all, and carve it out from the "GP104" silicon.
According to the report, the GTX 1070 Ti will be carved out of the "GP104" silicon by disabling just 1 out of 20 streaming multiprocessors, compared to the GTX 1070 desktop, which has 5 out of 20 disabled. This results in a CUDA core count of 2,432, which is just 128 fewer than that of the GTX 1080. The clock speeds of the GTX 1070 Ti are higher than the GTX 1070, too. It comes with a core clock of 1607 MHz, 1683 MHz GPU Boost, and an untouched 8.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective) memory clock. Interestingly, the TDP of this chip is 180W, which is the same as the GTX 1080. NVIDIA will reportedly launch the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti in early-November, 2017, at a price that's 12.5 percent cheaper than the GTX 1080.

And GTX 970 was and remained an awesome deal.Nvidia don't have enough full GP102 chips to do that, they can't even meet the demand for Titan.
And this is at 9.4 Gbps :
I'd say that's a noticeable bump in performance just from overclocking the memory. There is no reason why this wouldn't scale in the same fashion with a 1070 or any other more powerful Pascal card. If anything higher core counts would exacerbate a memory bottleneck.
Memory bottleneck does not exist on 1070 to any significance
Maybe you have a magic card that doesn't need faster VRAM , might just as well underclock it and save up some power.
Lets put it this way the memory is not 1070s bottleneck
Again , I'm not forcing you to believe memory speed makes difference , you already seem convinced it doesn't. I'm just telling you the engineering behind these things doesn't agree with you. I talked about this extensively in another thread , not going to do it again here , but the matter of the fact is that every modern GPU architecture is starved for faster memory.
Anyway , my initial comment on the matter was towards this supposed 1070ti that has the same memory configuration as a regular 1070 which seems unlikely.
synthetic benchmarks and mining only
Clock speed and sm units technically is the only thing bottlenecking the 1070
In fact, not even g-sync can save you from sli's inconsistent frametimes because it'll just seem like you sometimes have massive input lag.
It's 2017 people, sli is as good as dead!
I think most of them do scale well with sli from reviews ive seen.
What are some of the bugs Sli brings? I've never had a 2 card setup before.
If you choose to go sli, I promise you, if you ever want to play less well scaling sli games, you'll be sorry you bought two cards not one faster one!
Now, what if you can flash a 1070ti BIOS to an 1080 one, that would be something...
My 1070 does 2200MHz on the memory easily, I'm pretty sure almost all 1070s can do this. That puts the memory bandwidth of my 1070 only about 12% behind the memory bandwidth of a stock 1080... It really isn't that much of a difference.
