Could there be a GeForce GTX 1070 Ti?

Posted on Thursday, September 14 2017 @ 9:11 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Take this one with a grain of salt but this is the first NVIDIA GPU rumor we've read in a quite a while. A photo is circulating on Asian tech sites of a PC configuration with a video card named ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 Ti STRIX O8G.

It could be a mistake or a hoax, or it could mean that NVIDIA is preparing a faster version of the GeForce GTX 1070 to turn up the heat on AMD. At the moment, there's a relatively large gap in performance between the GeForce GTX 1070 and the GeForce GTX 1080, so NVIDIA could fit a GTX 1070 Ti in there to complicate things for AMD's Radeon RX Vega 56:

Why would NVIDIA make GTX 1070 Ti? Well, it’s quite obvious that Vega 56 is faster in this price segment (at least when official price is considered). NVIDIA could either lower the price of GTX 1080 or bring a new part.

If there's any truth to this, these cards could launch relatively soon as the photo below implies custom-design cards are already circulating in the wild.
