NVIDIA's next-generation Volta graphics card is still in the works, at least until the second quarter of next year. In addition to the performance pressure from AMD RX Vega 64/56 graphics card, and a chronic shortage of GDDR5X, NVIDIA is in desperate need of a graphics card that can be delivered in large quantities. Tonight, NVIDIA has officially released the last video card of the Pascal series, the first "7" slot in history, the "Ti" suffix graphics card, GTX 1070 Ti, and the core of the GP102 is a whole family. But also cuts only 1 set of SM unit, a total of 2432 CUDA unit, with 8 gb of GDDR5 memory, the overall specifications with GTX 1080 difference is very small, can look forward to it's performance is very close to, and advantage on the price.
The GTX 1070 Ti is a product that NVIDIA has prepared for a long time, but has not been released in the proper window period. Since gp104-400 (GTX 1080) and gp104-200 (GTX 1070) were released a year ago, combined with the lack of new graphics to stimulate market consumption and performance pressure from AMD RX Vega 56, NVIDIA chose to release GTX 1070 Ti today.
The previous hardware specs were very accurate, but there was no "deviation." GTX 1070 Ti and GTX 1080 difference between really very small, not like before forecasting is to streamline the two groups of SM unit, really cut off only a set of GP104-300, counted up to 19 x128 = 2432 CUDA units, 152 of the 64 texture units as well as ROP grating unit.
Because GDDR5X memory only provided by a micron, long-term is in shortage state, NVIDIA said also helpless, GTX 1070 Ti launch has based on considerations of supplementary GTX 1080 market position, so the GTX 1070 Ti using 256 - bit width of 8 GDDR5 memory, corresponding to the frequency of memory also from 10 GBPS to 8 GBPS, GDDR5X memory absence performance impact to our further inspection.
In order to accurately locate GTX 1070 Ti performance, NVIDIA fixed its frequency at 1607MHz- 1683MHz, and did not allow the AIC manufacturers to pre-overrate the graphics card. NVIDIA has not disclosed why, but it has to do with market strategy. Of course, NVIDIA is just saying that restricting the development of video CARDS can't overpower, and that individual players can be free to overpower, let alone that the manufacturers are ready to give everyone a one-click hyperfrequency software.
Yes, TDP of GTX 1070 Ti is in line with GTX 1080, 180W, at least one 8Pin power supply interface.
At the end of the day, the price and the release date are available. At the moment, the cheapest price is 3,499 yuan, which is about the same as before, which is in line with the difference between GTX 1070 and GTX 1080. Combined with AMD RX Vega 56, which costs 4000 yuan and is plagued by capacity, GTX 1070 Ti can be used to attack one of the wave after performance. The GTX 1070 Ti will be available for pre-sale activity on all major e-commerce platforms this evening. It will be on sale at 9 PM on November 2. NVIDIA has even prepared the Founders Edition, and you can start to believe in Titan skins.
It can be said that the launch of the GTX 1070 Ti is ulterior motives, and this year because of the mining boom made the graphics card price surge wave, very not easy to calm down in September, NVIDIA deliberately "necks" stop shipment in high-end GPU core, so the sell a less a high-end graphics, most are out of stock, players can't buy the graphics card. At this point, the launch of GTX 1070 Ti is self-evident, and by the way, you can also beat AMD RX Vega 56 graphics card, and the NVIDIA's abacus will be snapped.
