Nvidia has opted for a new Founders Edition shroud with the RTX 3070 Ti, a sort-of middle ground between the RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 FE coolers. Its greatest strength may not be in exceptional price or game-changing performance but instead in the mere fact it exists.īack to the RTX 3070 Ti for a moment and let's talk construction. More on that in the performance section below. The deciding factor is, of course, gaming performance, and once again there's plenty to talk about when comparing Nvidia Ampere and AMD RDNA 2. In memory terms, then, you have the speedier, smaller GeForce RTX 3070 Ti facing down the slower, more capacious Radeon RX 6800. That puts it at a loss next to the 16GB AMD Radeon RX 6800, which launched a bit too pricey at $579 for consideration next to the RTX 3070, but is now nominally a little cheaper than the $5 Ti. Yet while GDDR6X offers Nvidia speed beyond the grasp of the competition, it has only seen fit to load 8GB of the fancy memory onto the RTX 3070 Ti. ![]() I'd expect it to stay that way, too GDDR5X memory remained an Nvidia-exclusive for the duration of its life. Nvidia is, so far, the only GPU manufacturer to offer it in its products. Micron doesn't offer it out freely, either. ![]() ![]() So there's great pedigree in that memory technology, which is at the bleeding edge of high-bandwidth chips today. It's not quite doubly effective in practice, unfortunately for us, but it has allowed its manufacturer, Micron, to deliver 19Gbps with GDDR6X, while GDDR6 manages just 14Gbps. GDDR6X's secret is PAM4 signalling, which effectively doubles the number of signals the memory transmits with each clock.
