NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti Rumored Specifications Appear
NVIDIA is slowly preparing to launch its next-generation Ampere graphics cards for consumers after we got the A100 GPU for data-centric applications. The Ampere lineup is getting more and more leaks and speculations every day, so we can assume that the launch is near. In the most recent round of rumors, we have some new information about the GPU SKU and memory of the upcoming GeForce RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti. Thanks to Twitter user kopite7kimi, who had multiple confirmed speculations in the past, we have information that GeForce RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti use a GA104 GPU SKU, paired with GDDR6 memory. The cath is that the Ti version of GPU will feature a new GDDR6X memory, which has a higher speed and can reportedly go up to 21 Gbps.
The regular RTX 3070 is supposed to have 2944 CUDA cores on GA104-400 GPU die, while its bigger brother RTX 3070 Ti is designed with 3072 CUDA cores on GA104-300 die. Paired with new technologies that Ampere architecture brings, with a new GDDR6X memory, the GPUs are set to be very good performers. It is estimated that both of the cards would reach a memory bandwidth of 512 GB/s. So far that is all we have. NVIDIA is reportedly in Design Validation Test (DVT) phase with these cards and is preparing for mass production in August. Following those events is the official launch which should happen before the end of this year, with some speculations indicating that it is in September.

the last dual GPU card I recall is AMD's 295x2 that was 500W, lolol.
EDIT: See your post below, lol.
Which means around 15-20% larger than the old RTX 2080 Ti.

So no, those prices aren't happening.
On the other hand, if the rumored 20-CU "Xbox Series S/Lockhart" shows up, that might indeed hit $299.
Now the less powerful XSS could be 299 for 1080p gaming.
It's basically the same arch going to a smaller, more efficient, and probably faster process node.
So you get 2080 arch -> 3070, + faster memory, +more power efficient, + a few percent better IPC from the new node
I bet the 3070 is at least 110% the performance of a 2080.
On the note of the 3070 and Ti, I'm hopeful that if this spec is roughly where we land, I can get a meaningful upgrade from my GTX1080 with one. A 2070S with the same 2560 CUDA count handily outperforms my 1080 already, bump that up to ~3000 with the next gen features and I can't see any way it at least doesn't outperform a 2080S. What I do really want in addtion is more VRAM, I won't spend big money on another 8GB card.

"Smaller processes also have a lower capacitance, allowing transistors to turn on and off more quickly while using less energy. And if you’re trying to make a better chip, that’s perfect. The faster a transistor can toggle on and off, the faster it can do work. "
Is it me or the gap between 3070Ti and 3080 is rather large? This makes no sense. You get faster cycles (higher clocks) you don't miraculously get circuits that are capable of doing something in 1 cycle if it took 2.
Like I said I'm worried about the price because that one will be higher for sure but the performance may not exactly justify the price bump. Do you get it now?
Look at it this way price/performance ratio.
