Competition in the hardware and gaming world is always going to be fierce, as company’s vie for ultimate supremacy in the market. This is equally true for graphics cards, withNvidiabeing the current top dog of the industry. But withIntel about to launch its Arc GPUs, there’s going to be even more of a competitive nature this year, so “team green” seems eager to push out as many products as possible, and it looks as though yet another one is on the horizon.
In a recent report from Videocardz, it seems a couple of manufacturers, namely ASUS and Gigaybyte, have now filed models to the Eurasian Economic Commission regulatory office for what is a 16 GB versions of theNvidiaRTX 3070 Ti. The leak appears to be genuine, with the aforementioned manufacturers allegedly confirming these specific makes. However, there doesn’t seem to be any official release date as of this article going live.

This graphics card has been talked about for some time. In fact theRTX 3070 Ti 16 GB was postponed, with rumors that it was supposed to be out on January 11. This new card will, as the name implies, sport 16 GB of GDDR6X, as opposed to 8 GB from the previous 3070 Ti. Like its predecessor, it too will have 6,144 CUDA cores and run on a memory speed of 19 Gbps. The report goes on to say that, without a release date or MSRP, and with original speculations having the release day on the 11th of this month, there’s a possibility it could suffer the same fate as the 3080 12 GB.
TheNvidia RTX 3080 12 GB was launched very recently, and to little fanfare, as well. In fact, the only major announcement the company seemed to make was a change to the website’s store page. It’s entirely possible, therefore, that the 3070 Ti 16 GB could just as easily slip under the radar, which impedes the chances of any day one reviews coming out, and that may worry some people. And all while there is still a deficit going on.
Nvidiaseems certain that supplies will begin to increase in the second half of this year, butIntel suggests the shortages could go on until 2023. In any case, early 2022 is still not shaping up to be a good time to have a slew of GPU products launched. Many are struggling to source much of it, and those that do are finding that they’re having to pay way above MSRP for the privilege.
