Nvidia's reportedly working on an RTX 2070 Ti - Specs Leaked

Rumour has it that Nvidia is working on a new graphics card called the RTX 2070 Ti, a new graphics card that will act as a midway point between the RTX 2070 and RTX 2080.



Recently, specifications for this new graphics card leaked onto the web, stating that the GPU would ship with 2560 CUDA cores, 14Gbps GDDR6 memory and a boost clock speed of 1770MHz. This places the RTX 2070 Ti between the RTX 2070 and RTX 2080, which feature 2304 and 2944 Stream Processors and Founders Edition boost clock speeds of 1710MHz and 1800MHz respectively.



So why does Nvidia need an RTX 2070 Ti? The short answer is Navi. At Computex 2019, AMD showcased an early Navi demo which shows their new graphics hardware offering a 10% performance advantage over the RTX 2070. This gives Nvidia the opportunity to release their RTX 2070 Ti as a new Navi competitor, offering consumers a graphics card which will be able to better compete with AMD's future offering, assuming that AMD's demo was representative of a wider selection of games.



Nvidia's RTX 2070 Ti is rumoured to be a TU-104 based product, making it a cut-down version of the company's RTX 2080 graphics card. Nvidia's RTX 2070 silicon has no inactive CUDA cores, at least as far as we are aware, making TU-104 the only hardware option for the RTX 2070 Ti, aside from entirely new silicon, which would be too costly to be worth considering.



If these leaked specifications are correct, Nvidia's RTX 2070 Ti would pack a performance improvement of around 12% over the company's existing RTX 2070 graphics card and a 15% performance disadvantage when compared to the RTX 2080.
