Nvidia has merely just revealed the GeForce RTX 3090, RTX 3080 and RTX 3070, only in that location'southward now a rumor that it could be working on a GeForce RTX 3070 Ti.

While the RTX 3090 is the most powerful of Nvidia'southward next-generation graphics cards, the RTX 3070 is arguably the tranquility star of the new GeForce lineup. It comes with operation that will beat the $999 GeForce RTX 2080 Ti for a price of $499; that'southward a serious PC gaming deal. But a Ti variant of the RTX 2070 could become one step farther.

While the RTX 2070 comes with 8GB of GDDR6, the GeForce RTX 2070 Ti is expected to come up with 16GB of GDDR6 video memory, co-ordinate to a list past Lenovo that was spotted by Videocardz.

No other specs for the rumored graphics card were revealed. But doubling the VRAM would give the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti a solid functioning hike over its vanilla sibling. We could besides expect a bump in clock speed and retention speed, all calculation up to faster overall performance.

Nvidia is targeting the GeForce RTX 3070 as a graphics menu that will deliver strong 1440p to 4K gaming at smooth frame rates. So we could expect a Ti version to push a piddling beyond that, potentially targeting 4K more than 1440p; although the latter resolution is becoming increasingly popular amidst PC gamers.

Even if the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti remains a 1440p centric GPU, it could deliver faster frame rates at that resolution, making it a good card for people with loftier refresh-rate monitors. That is if the bill of fare is indeed in the works.

With the GeForce RTX 2000-series graphics cards, Nvidia has Ti versions of the RTX 2070 and RTX 2090. And then doing the same for the RTX 3000-series wouldn't be beyond the realms of imagination.

Nosotros're expecting to run across more RTX 3000-series graphics cards every bit 2020 comes to a shut and 2021 begins, probable in the form of the GeForce RTX 3060. And with the launch of the PS5 and Xbox Series 10 on the horizon, these next few months are going to be very interesting for games.
