Guru3D claims to confirm the 1070 Ti

More specs of the upcoming GeForce GTX 1070 Ti are surfacing online. You have seen the rumors and teaser yesterday already. This post will shed some more information. 

 

First off I have confirmed this product with some of my industry sources, they will not say the final name just yet but I have learned that the GPU used is the ,GP104-300. This is now a confirmed fact. The product also is referred to as "Ti" within the companies I spoke to. Next to my sources also confirm a release end of October, which matches up with the Gigabyte teaser yesterday. 

 

That is all the info I was able to pry loose, however MyDrivers posted information of specifications that might be spot on. The GPU has 20 Shader clusters, just one would be disabled totalling towards 2432, which is just 128 shader procs lower than that of the GTX 1080.

 

The clock speeds of the GTX 1070 Ti would be higher than the GTX 1070 as well at 1607 MHz and a 1683 MHz GPU Boost woth 8.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective) memory clock. The TDP would be 180W, similar to the GTX 1080. If I perform some reverse math on tyhis, the product would offer just over 8 TFLOPS in perf. Personally I think it'll be priced at 399 USD.

 

Now let's chart her up:

Mind you that the specs above thus are based on speculation mainly. But I have a hunch they are pretty precise or at the very least pretty darn close.

So basically what's being guessed is, An additional 512 shaders, Additional 4 SMMs / SMXs, Same ROPs, A bigger base clock, so effectively a smaller boost (even tho it boosts to the same clock officially as the 1070, but the delta is smaller), Same wattage as the GTX 1080. Looks like it will replace the $399 price point but that's unconfirmed. This wouldn't be the first time a new "upgraded" card is made to replace a price point. (GTX 260 core 216 for example, and many other cards since then.)


**UPDATE**

If you head over to the official Gigabyte Facebook page right now you will be greeted with a scary clown image at the top of the posts list. The influence for the 'artwork' is clear, with the red balloon and terrifying clown face. One further huge hint comes from the reflected title of the blockbuster Stephen King book/film: 'Ti' in ripped material red lettering. Then there are also images of a wallet/cash and a high performance Aorus branded graphics card in the mix.

 

Following in the wake of recent rumours of an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti in the pipeline, a range of tech news sites are putting one and one together to conclude that Gigabyte is teasing upcoming GTX 1070 Ti based products. The previous rumour was based on the spotting of a Strix model 1070 Ti, so it's good to see a tease from a different vendor.

Other text accompanying the Gigabyte 'poster' doesn't provide much in the way of clues to its meaning. Atop of its post Gigabyte has written "Ti will get you too...eventually...," which doesn't really tickle the ribs. On the top of the poster we read the confusing phrase "You'll float too". At least the post comes with the hashtag #comingsoon, so we know we won't have to wait very long to find out what all this is about (but following in the horror theme soon could be the 31^st Oct - Halloween).

 

Of course the performance of the upcoming GeForce GTX 1070 Ti will sit somewhere between the existing GTX 1070 and 1080 models. The pricing will do so too, and there may be adjustments of the existing range to fit it in nicely in that respect. There is only speculation on the number of activated CUDA cores and clock speeds at this time. Our earlier report's source asserted that the GTX 1070 Ti would come packing GDDR5X RAM.

 

 

Thanks to forum member, VegetableStu. Hexus caught a similar story of Gigabyte's facebook pages running early ads for a new "Ti" card - Source

But why?

 

This is a massive overreaction from Nvidia and it makes people who bought 1080s instead of 1070s feel bad.

[Crossbred]

This can't be much better when overclocked if only the shaders were significantly changed...

Why would you feel bad that Nvidia is releasing a cheaper card with roughly the same performance as the card you bought over 1 and a half years ago?

[dfg666]

Well AMD is really buried underneath now. The RX VEGA 56 was their only hope in taking a spot.

Because you also could've bought a 1080 just a week ago?

Meanwhile as a 1070 owner I can't wait for the inevitable price drop so I can pick up a second one.

 

Mind you I have to expand my loop first before I look at a 2nd GPU.

512 new shaders seems like too much, thats basically a 1080  1080 sales would go good bye tbh so why not just drop the price of the 1080...

[Taf the Ghost]

So it's pretty much their binning of slightly defective 1080s. This points more to process maturity and the specific ways in which the 1080 dies tend to fail in the production of them.

 

And it gives Nvidia's marketing department something to do for a few months, while spawning all sorts of new benchmarks and generally poking fun at RTG.

Might have to pick one of these up

Isnt volta like six months away? Why do this now and not earlier

Well it means that Vega 56 gets even less sales. Plus it's not like they haven't done this before (I'm looking at you 1080 Ti + Titan Xp).

[porina]

Assuming this ships at that price, that still leaves, what do they do with 1070 and 1080? It makes both look largely redundant. Silently retire them? That is, no announcement, but just slowly cut off supply?

 

Or, given the 1080 has had a price cut already when 1080Ti came out, maybe the 1070 will keep going at a lower price point, but I still think the gap for the 1080 has been squeezed by this.

RIP anyone who bought a GTX 1080, including myself. 

[goodtofufriday]

I want a 1060TI and a Titan Xp TI to even out the stack

Volta was released.

 

GeForce Volta isn't coming out until AMD provides real competition.

Because people may have bought a 1080 more recently than that.,....

 

If i had the money then I wouldn't buy the 1080 today cos the 1080 is overdue for a replacement. Unfortunately Nvidia doesn't want to refresh it's GPU lineup with newer products.

Sorry, Geforce* Volta

 

And I guess yeah. I thought they said they had no reason to release them this year so they would early next year?

So you are saying it is BAD to launch a better and cheaper card because it will "make people feel bad"? That is a very flawed logic, to say the least.

It is not rational and really, just dumb. I dont know why people feel so bothered that someone got a better deal - so what you bought something the day before it went on sale? Now sales are bad because everyone os saving money but you arent? Thats petty and nonsense.

 

To be clear, im not saying YOU are petty, just saying that this thinking (which is kinda common) is really pathetic if you stop and think about it.

The card is still using GDDR5 (non X) though, so its probably going to be bandwidth starved. 

It's not going to be able to match the 1080.

 

Although, I think this card is pointless as they can just drop the price of the 1080

Oh man, I just bought an Aorus Xtreme GTX 1080 11GBPS, well if the 1070TI is till using GDDr5 instead of GDDR5X, there will still be a difference in performance, slim, but iot will be there, and it will be accentuated by the 11GBPS 1080 models, whats next 1060Ti?

[DildorTheDecent]

19 enabled SM's sounds a bit goofy. Wonder why it wasn't 18?

 

18 SM = 2304 CUDA cores. It would essentially be a GTX 780 on steroids. 

[IceCold008]

FUBAR comes to mind. Why i dont see the point in this.Seems like a waste. Maybe Nvidia is appealing to the idiots out there if i put "TI" in the title and add a few extra CUDA cores and so on they might drain a few extra bucks out the the less techie minded. My personal spin on it but when it comes to greed, no company is exempted.

No not really. They should just launch the next generation imho. 

 

I personally got an EPIC deal on a 1080, while I actually wanted a 1070 but the deal was actually cheaper than a 1070 lol

Are they even able to keep standalone V56 in stock right now?  All the ones I've found were either "This item must be purchased with a combo", out of stock, or priced $150 above MSRP.

 

Yeah they aren't getting into the hands of gamers, but I'd hardly say that AMD isn't selling the things.
