1070ti Rumored to be a LOCKED gpu

[NumLock21]

The amount of people actually believing in this bs and went serious about it is ridiculous.

Gigabyte? Don't you mean Gigabyte Aorus 1070TiXpKFTW G1 OC edition RGB Fusion Liquid Limited Founders 16GB Revision 2.0 with Gigabyte Ultra Durable 4.0 and SmartFan 5.0 ?

Would be a major step in an odd direction if they did. Pretty spooky this close to Halloween.

I wonder if this card/chip will be specifically for OEMs? After all, it would be a very high end card for normal OEM systems.

Hmmm that would be the only scenario I'd buy this locked gpu story as truth, we'll find out soon enough either way though.

Anyone adds onto this, and they're gonna face the Fist of the Nose Hair.

Don't rope me into this.

 

And I'd appreciate it if you'd capitalize my name.

This rumour is apparently mostly false:

First and foremost, Ashley is incorrect in saying that the 1070 Ti can't be overclocked. This is not true. Manual overclocking will be allowed by end users, but from what we can see, there is actually an "overclocking frequency cap." This however does not seem to be what we would call a "low" frequency. If you took a good GTX 1080 and overclocked it, and good GTX 1070 Ti and overclocked it, the GTX 1080 is still going to squeak out a win, but not by much. This is obviously being done to keep the GTX 1070 Ti from cannibalizing the GTX 1080 market. This GTX 1070 Ti should be able to easily handle Vega 64 as well, not that you can find any of those for sale at MSRP anyway.

if they do go through with this this seems like a probing move to see how the market reacts. if the market lets it through then we can expect to see more locked gpus

Look at link above yours, says 1070Ti can't oc is nonsense.

yea i saw that after i commented. there is a frequency cap made so it doesnt compete with the 1080. im not sure what i feel about that. i dont think that is too different in effect than just preventing OC all together as it does the same thing

just added stuff to the OP to keep the confusion down

Are we are starting to enter a new world of competition/marketing tactics where Nvidia releases a second best card with a clock cap and it's still predicted to  trade blows with AMD's latest?

It's almost as if AMD can't compete..
