Two new graphics cards from PNY were leaked last night — the PNY XLR8 GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and the PNY Stealth Mode GeForce RTX 4070 Ti — along with their respective specifications. The data shows that both cards are identical to the RTX 4080 12GB GPU that NVIDIA pulled before launch. This is the only company that previously published its spec list for the RTX 4080 12GB before NVIDIA canceled the graphics card from existence.
PNY tech builds two RTX 4070 Ti graphics cards using identical specs to NVIDIA’s missing RTX 4080 12GB
The new SKU for PNY is the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture with a base clock of 2310MHz and boosted to 2610MHz, along with 12GB of 192-bit GDDR6X onboard memory, 7680 CUDA cores, and memory bandwidth speeds of 504GB/s. This dataset confirms that NVIDIA has renamed its 12GB RTX 4080 graphics card to the RTX 4070 Ti GPU. But is NVIDIA trying to deceive its consumers? Not right.
The original 12GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card performed poorly for the level the graphics card was intended for. NVIDIA realized this and decided it would be best to remove the card from the series with the intention of rebranding the card in the future. Placed in the next SKU layer down, the RTX 4070 Ti fits the purpose of a graphics card and how well it performs.
PNY will release GeForce RTX 4070 Ti XLR8 VERTO and VERTO graphics cards. The two cards are different because the former will offer enhanced cooling as in the case of the RTX 4080 16GB GPU and will sell at a premium price. The second graphics card removes the RGB seen in the first and will also offer a thinner design, aiming for a 3-slot configuration instead of 3.3 slots.
The above presentation from VideoCardz allows us to jot down some of the additions to PNY’s new graphics cards. First, there’s a new integrated PCB for the AD104 GPU design, with the VRMs on the right side of the GPU, while GDDR6X memory takes up space to the left and bottom of the GPU. Fewer VRMs are used than previous designs. We also see the 12VHPWR connector in the photo.
The new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti graphics cards are scheduled to be released on January 5, 2023. The current prices of the latest graphics cards are unknown. If NVIDIA is set to compete with AMD and its new GPUs, the price point will be similar to its competition, at $800 to $900.
