NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Could be Offered in Both 8 GB and 16 GB SKUs
Uniko's Hardware, a usual spot for leaks and information on upcoming hardware, has put forward that NVIDIA could be looking to introduce two versions of its upcoming RTX 3070 Ti graphics card. The difference would be dual-sided GDDR6X memory or not, which would make available memory capacities for this card in the league of either 8 GB (the same as the RTX 3070) or 16 GB running at 19 Gbps.
The intention with the RTX 3070 Ti is to bring the fight back to AMD, who released a pretty good offering to the market in the form of the RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT graphics cards - both featuring 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. NVIDIA is looking to improve its market position compared to AMD by offering both the RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti on the market. It could also be a time for NVIDIA to release another cryptomining-crippled graphics card - and this time to try and do it right by not releasing a driver that unlocks that particular effort. The card is rumored for launch come May, though we've already seen an unprecedented number of delays for NVIDIA's new SKUs - a sign that there is indeed a problem in the upstream semiconductor offering field.

12gb for 3060
8gb for 3060 ti
8gb for 3070
8gb AND 16gb for 3070 ti
10gb for 3080
jesus christ this just keeps getting even more retarded
so meh.
Waiting for the 3070 Ti would've proven disastrous, considering I wouldn't even be able to find one.
I'm good with 8 GB, thanks.
Time and time again we've seen cards that were good but had "just enough" VRAM become useless before their time whilst larger-VRAM'ed variants gave another useful couple of years of service.
Perhaps if they were 1/3rd the price like consumer GPUs were supposed to be, it would matter less....
Due to the worldwide pandemic, supply in some regions may be affected. Nvidia remains committed to ensuring reliable availability to our valued customers.
- Nvidia, probably
It's funny how with all the glowing talk of stakeholder theory being backed by law and finally being poised to dethrone the accursed shareholder primacy theory, we're still right back where we started. Normally, it'd be nice to have a few passionate investors heckle Nvidia with the difficult questions at their AGM, but with the way it's conducted remotely I imagine Nvidia isn't even open to taking questions lmao.
PS: It looks kinda cheerful with the Sun shining over there.
i don't get it; IF the vram is clearly marked on the box, what's the problem?
For everyone running 1080p, 8GB less ram could be some serious savings.
