The second wave of Ti power comes on the scene. The core specifications of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti have been upgraded slightly and replaced with GDDR6X memory, which has a higher memory bandwidth. The mainstream market that also locks in 2K resolution will be on par with RTX 3070. The suggested price of the RTX 3070 Ti is $599. As for whether this knife is a good deal or a Ti, let us continue to look at it.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti specification improves G6X upgrade performance increases
The NVIDIA Ampere architecture doubles the number of CUDA computing units, and the SM unit also doubles the L1 cache bandwidth, 33% increase in cache capacity, 2 times the cache partition size, and upgrades the second-generation RT Core and third-generation Tensor Core cores , And new features such as HDMI 2.1 output and AV1 hardware decoding are provided across the board.
In addition to being a new card for 2K and DXR games, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti actually has another important mission in the author’s mind. You still remember that after the RTX 3070 was released, it was immediately attacked by the RX 6800, although there is a certain price gap between the two. , But under the 2K positioning, the RX 6800 is indeed better than the RX 3070 in AAA games.
The launch price of RTX 3070 Ti is $599, which is slightly higher than the $579 price of RX 6800, but it also ignited the flames of counterattack, but for NVIDIA, “RTX game performance” is the focus of the competition.
In terms of specifications, RTX 3070 Ti can be said to be a small upgrade, with 48 sets of SM units (only 2 sets more than RTX 3070), a total of 6144 CUDA cores, 192 Tensor Cores and 48 RT Cores, 192 sets of Texture Units and 96 sets of ROPs. Unit, small upgrade of the overall core specifications.

1080p resolutionRTX 3070 Ti has a pretty good DXR game performance, with an average of 93.4 FPS in “Dian Yu Renke 2077”, an average of 115.8 FPS in “Control”, and an average of 151.7 FPS in “Evil Castle Village”.
↑ 1080p DXR game test, the higher the FPS, the better.
Main force 1440p resolution, In each game, with the light pursuit high and the highest setting, with the DLSS acceleration, the RTX 3070 Ti can also maintain an average performance of 60 FPS or more. For example, “Dynamic Rebel 2077” has an average of 77.6 FPS, and “Control” has an average of 77.8 FPS. , “Evil Castle Village” averages 126.4 FPS, but this performance is quite close to RTX 3070.
↑ 1440p DXR game test, the higher the FPS, the better.
As for 2160p resolutionRTX 3070 Ti is relatively unable to meet the performance required for 4K in terms of performance. This is also the same as the result of RTX 3070. Unless the player sets the game settings to medium and low settings, it can barely reach the threshold requirement of an average of 60 FPS.
↑ 2160p DXR game test, the higher the FPS, the better.
From the perspective of DXR games, the performance improvement of RTX 3070 Ti is about 8% compared to RTX 3070. The average FPS at 2K resolution is 90 FPS and 83 FPS. The gap between the two is really quite small, but compared to RX 6800, it has Considerable DXR game performance gap.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti power consumption and temperature
The power consumption and temperature tests are compared with the Fire Strike Ultra Stress test and FurMark 2160p, 4XMASS stress test, and the game “Electric Yu Renke 2077”.
In terms of temperature, the RTX 3070 Ti GPU has a maximum temperature of 78°C, 76°C during gaming, and a memory temperature of 92°C. The overall heat dissipation upgrade does have a good performance.
In terms of power consumption, the average maximum of RTX 3070 Ti is 292W, and the peak value is 313W during the test. The power consumption of the whole machine is 455W during the game. It is recommended that players choose the power supply, if the same is matched with a processor with 8 cores or more, it is recommended to choose about 750W. Power supply.
↑ RTX 3070 Ti temperature test.
↑ RTX 3070 Ti TGP power consumption test.
to sum up
Compared with the precise 10% performance improvement (skilling) of RTX 3080 Ti, RTX 3070 Ti is a bit awkward. In terms of 2K game performance, RTX 3070 Ti is similar to RTX 3070. The actual average performance difference of 10 FPS is also The RTX 3070 Ti, which is priced at $599, is a bit expensive.
But from the performance point of view, RTX 3070 Ti does have better 2K gaming performance than RTX 3070, but it can achieve 2K60fps, AAA, DXR gaming performance as well as RTX 3070. I wonder if players will be willing to spend an extra $100 to choose RTX 3070. Ti?
The current price of RTX 3070 is about NT$20,000 to NT$25,000, which also means that RTX 3070 Ti may be opened at about NT$25,000 to NT$30,000. If the flagship card of RTX 3070 Ti is opened at NT$30,000 or more, I believe most players I will directly consider the entry-level RTX 3080 graphics card, but now that it is difficult to find a card, as long as it is in stock, it can be sold even if the RTX 3070 Ti is a pity.
Now NVIDIA is heavily importing LHR to limit mining power and chip updates. It does make the card scanning situation not as exaggerated as before, but when there will be a stable supply of graphics cards and graphics cards close to the MSRP price will be available, this will have to wait until the chip shortage After the cycle has passed, there will be a chance, and I can only hope that this epidemic can quickly pass the days of Days Gone.
