There’s a hole in the GeForce line-up and the new GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is the card with which Nvidia hopes to plug it up. Prior to the RTX 3070 Ti’s release it was a space wholly occupied by AMD’s Radeon RX 6800, which is perhaps why Nvidia sees it a vital gap to fill as quickly as possible. It aims to do so with a blend of the RTX 3070’s full GPU and the RTX 3080’s speedy memory, all combined in one card, which will deliver high frame-rate 1440p and more “affordable” 4K gaming.
