AMD’s best competitors, the RX 6800 and RX 6700 XT, ship with 16GB and 12GB, and considering that there are already games that push the 3070 Ti to its limit at 4K with ray tracing enabled, they feel significantly more forward thinking in this department. The bigger concern is that 8GB just doesn’t feel like enough for a card of this caliber. This boost allows assets to load and display faster however, with GDDR6 already being quite fast, you might need a keen eye to spot the improvement in normal gameplay. The bump to GDDR6X increases the total memory bandwidth from 448 GB/s to 608 GB/s. Both the RTX 2070 Super and RTX 3070 featured standard GDDR6. It features 6144 CUDA cores and 8GB of upgraded GDDR6X memory. Under the simple yet eye-catching exterior of the card, the RTX 3070 Ti packs some impressive specs. This generation of Founders Edition cards represents Nvidia’s best work when it comes to its in-house coolers, and though this does run warmer than the version found on the RTX 3080, it’s a big improvement from the 20-series cards.

Paired with a sizable vent along the back, air is whisked out the back of the card, allowing it to stay at safe temperatures and high clock speeds. Despite its compact size, the actual PCB is even smaller, which allows the heatsink to overhang, directly below the fan. Like the original 3070 ( reviewed here), the 3070 Ti features Nvidia’s dual-axial cooler. If you haven’t experienced a Founders Edition card from this generation, you’ll be in for a treat. Like the rest of this generation of Founders Edition cards, the RTX 3070 Ti is all about one-upmanship of the RTX 20-series. Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition – Design and Features
#3070ti 4k performance upgrade
At $599, it’s marketed as a direct upgrade for RTX 10 Super users, but at $100 more than the standard RTX 3070, is it worth paying extra for? I’ve spent the last week testing the card to answer exactly that question and see what kind of upgrade this card offers for last-gen users.

With the RTX 3080 Ti out the door, it’s time to pull back the curtain on the smaller, more budget-friendly RTX 3070 Ti graphics card.
