Nvidia’s 3070 GPU offers once in a decade price/performance improvements: a 3070 offers 40% higher effective speed than a 2070 at the same MSRP. Given the widespread issues AMD users are facing with 5000 series GPUs (blue/black screens etc.), it is unlikely that AMD would have posed a rational threat to Nvidia’s market share this year. Nvidia’s price cuts are likely related to upcoming console updates. The seven year old hardware in both the Xbox One and Playstation 4 is due an update later this year. Whatever the motivation behind Nvidia’s price cuts, Christmas has come early for PC gamers who can look forward to an unparalleled gaming experience in class leading titles such as Cyberpunk 2077. At ultra settings, with ray tracing enabled, Cyberpunk 2077 redefines the boundaries of immersive gaming. It makes GTA5 look like Tetris in comparison. The combination of RTX+DLSS delivers stunning graphics that are several tiers higher than both AMD's best discrete GPUs and the upcoming consoles. In terms of real world performance, Nvidia’s 3000 series has more or less put AMD’s Radeon group in checkmate. Nonetheless, AMD’s marketers are capable of delivering elaborate BS albeit whilst struggling to keep a straight face. Their marketing infrastructure outsold Intel in the CPU market despite a 15% performance deficit. Without an appropriate social media marketing strategy, Nvidia will probably lose considerable market share, for all the wrong reasons. [Oct '20GPUPro]
The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is Nvidia’s latest HD and VR ready, gaming GPU and is successor to the current number one GPU by market share, the GTX 1070. Like the 1070, the 1070 Ti is based on the16nm Pascal architecture and GP104 GPU. Both feature 8 GB of GDDR5 memory with a 256 bit memory interface producing a total memory bandwidth of 256 GB/s, and both have a rated boost clock speed of 1.683 GHz. The 1070 Ti is basically the 1070 with 25% more working CUDA cores (2432 versus 1920) and slightly higher base clock of 1607MHz (versus 1506MHz in the 1070). This translates to the 1070 Ti being nearly as powerful as the GTX 1080 which has 2560 CUDA cores, 8 GB of GDRR5X memory and boost clock of 1733 GHz. With founder’s editions available at $449, compared to $470 for AMD’s recent Vega based RX 56 and $510 for the GTX 1080, the 1070 Ti represents good value for money. The rumored fast approaching release of Volta (NVIDIA’s next generation architecture following on from Pascal) in early 2018 may upset demand for the 1070 Ti. [Nov '17GPUPro]
