NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Specs Leaked
TechARP obtained leaked specifications of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, which is being launching October 26 and available (supposedly) November 2. While the cards will carry a suggested retail price of $429 USD, which incidentally is higher than the Radeon RX Vega 56, it is anyone's guess what they will actually retail at if miners take an interest in the card.
As anticipated, only one of "GP104" Pascal's twenty streaming multiprocessors is being disabled, which means the GTX 1070 Ti will have 2432 CUDA cores, along with 152 TMUs and 64 ROPs. Core clock speed is being raised to 1607 MHz, unfortunately the boost speed (1683 MHz) is identical to that of the GTX 1070. The increased performance comes not surprisingly with a higher TDP (180 W), which is the same as the GTX 1080. All of which points to performance very close to the existing GeForce GTX 1080. And, if you are wondering how the GTX 1070 Ti stacks up against Radeon's RX Vega, TechARP prepared a chart of that as well:

Then again having roughly 1080 performance for less money is always a welcome.
EDIT: I'm a derp and didn't read msrp was $429.
to hopefully widen the performance gap between them
Oh cmon the bandwith is just too low. 256GB/s is a single stack of HBM2.
There is still no single Radeon GPU that attains 100GP/s stock. A Vega64 OC'd will do it, but so will a stock 980Ti. AMD's graphics division's high end will always be second-tier until they fucking re-realize that GP/s is largely the basis of GPU performance. They knew it back when it was 4870 vs GTX260, and before that, X800 vs 7800GTX . Sure, game engines differ, and camp bias can happen, but hardware makes the win happen.
It just looks bad when the RX580 has less than 10% higher GP/s than the fucking GeForce 580.
NV are trying to take sales from Vega56 as well as better utilise those GP104s which don't qualify as 1080 but yet have more usable cuda cores than 1920 on the original 1070.
The 1070 is a fairly decent miner and since this uses GDDR5 too rather than the problematic 5X, it will probably be sought after by miners even though the mining performance will be very close to the 1070.
We will see a new generation soon enough, if you want to compete more then drop the prices a little of what you have and there you go.
Why release another card for that little market in between the two....sigh
I think I seen the 8600K at Microcenter for $350 and 8700K for $500. They're out of stock but wtf. DRAM prices are stupid too. I hate to say but I almost can't recommend not building a PC for gaming cause of terrible prices.
Knowing the current mining scene this will be too pricey as well.
Where I live there's $50 difference between gtx 1070 and 1080. So what is really the point of this? really, because it will surelly be even more expensive and overpriced than 1080.
Not to mention it will suck at higher resolutions because o that bandwidth. Who buys a card in this price range just for 1080p anyway?
