According to rumors in response to Radeon RX 6800

According to rumors, Nvidia is preparing a reaction to the Radeon RX 6800 (without XT), because the card from AMD fills the performance gap between Geforce RTX 3070 and Geforce RTX 3080 and the gap is quite large, because as our index shows, it has Geforce RTX 3070 69 points; the Geforce RTX 3080 89.4 points. The distance is so great that both Navi-21 cards can be sorted there.

Accordingly, even without the competition from AMD, it would have been obvious for Nvidia to reduce the gap and that should now be done with the Geforce RTX 3070 Ti, which should be based on the performance of the Radeon RX 6800 (without XT) with 70 index points. Since Nvidia aims to slightly outperform this card, it should aim for around 75 index points. That would be a bit superior to the Geforce RTX 3070 and a bit inferior to the Radeon RX 6800 XT with its 81 index points, but it is more based on the Geforce RTX 3080 with 89 index points.

The Geforce RTX 3070 Ti should use a chip called GA103-300-A1 on a PCB of the PG132-SKU40 type. According to the Twitter leaker “Kopite7Kimi”, the chip in question has 7,424 shaders and a 320-bit memory interface. The latter allows configurations of 10 or 20 GiByte RAM with Nvidia, whereby it should remain at 10 GiByte for the Geforce RTX 3070 Ti. Nvidia doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to remedy this “disadvantage” compared to the Radeons. Especially since the doubling of the storage is also to be assessed economically. Meanwhile, nothing has been announced about clock rates. The GA103 will continue to be produced by Samsung in 8 nm.

There are many rumors about the GA103 and they all offer a lot of speculation. At the very least, it’s fair to assume that the chip was held back in response to whatever AMD might do. Now we know which cards look like Navi-21 cards and Nvidia can cut the chip to fit. In the long term, the GA103 could even replace the expensive GA102 – a mind game for which, ideally, one would also have to know the yields at Samsung.

In the end, everything is a question of price: Nvidia has to occupy a price point between 500 euros for the RTX 3070 and 700 euros with the Geforce RTX 3070 Ti in order to round off its own portfolio. So you could orientate yourself on 600 euros. With 20 GiByte memory, the price point should probably not be reached without making concessions in the margin.
