The NVIDIA RTX 30 series family can be said to be a bit confusing, and a key reason is thatThe problem of memory capacity allocation was too conservative in the initial stage, resulting in continuous adjustment and addition of new models in later products. However, many planned products were stillborn.
According to the latest news, the RTX 3070 Ti 16GB version has been completely cancelled and will not be available again.
The RTX 3070 Ti 16GB was originally planned to be released in December last year together with the RTX 3080 12GB, and it was launched in January this year, but the latter was successfully launched, but the former was not seen for a long time, and it was stillborn in the end. The reason is unknown, but it may be related to the inability of Intel’s independent display.
The RTX 3070 Ti 16GB was originally positioned as the top model for the Intel Arc gaming graphics card, which was once rumored to be able to challenge the RTX 3070 Ti at the highest. However, the first quarter of the Intel Arc game graphics card only had a mobile version for laptops, and the desktop version was delayed to the second quarter, and the actual performance was not optimistic.
In fact, this is not the first time that the RTX 30 series has canceled a similar memory update version. The RTX 3080 Ti 20GB, RTX 3080 20GB, RTX 3070 16GB, etc. were eventually cut off.
