News Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Super using AD102 GPU appears — a fresh variant surfaces with a harvested RTX 4090 die

[Admin]

An MSI product sheet and leaked GPU-Z screenshot point to a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super with the AD102 silicon. It shouldn't affect performance as it has the same specifications, but the larger die could help with cooling.

Ah, this brings back memories...sort of. I still have a GTX 560 Ti 448, which while named 560, had the GF110 processor of the 570/580, not the GF114 of the OG 560. A beast of an overclocker, but I digress. It was the same idea though, reusing processors that didn't meet certain criteria and using them in existing/new products.

RDNA 4 RX 8800XT is coming soon, rumours have it $500 at better than 7900XT performance. I would not buy anything at this point other than a RTX4090 or some used card at a good enough price to resell it without losing.

Doesn't seem likely, that would cannibalize sales of the 7800XT and 7900 GRE, admittedly those might not be around much longer.

Placing it as a 7900 GRE replacement seems more likely in the $550 range at launch. That puts it head to head with the lowest price 4070 Super.

As long as nVidia has authorized this, it makes sense. Otherwise, MSI is playing with fire and risks becoming the next EVGA?!? Most would say "no sir, MSI is too big," but f*** around with nVidia and found out I say!!

They will have sold MSI the chips pre-binned and lasered into 4070 Ti Super level chips, they wouldn't bin them to that level themselves.

I'm afraid it will be closer to $600.

If there were 32 GB versions dropping at around $700-750, that would be funny.

MSI would have no reason to do this themselves (why pay for a more expensive chip and then sell it in a lower-tier product?), and it would likely be beyond their capability anyway.

Nvidia routinely takes chips with partial defects, fuses off the defective parts, and then sell them "down-binned" to their AIB partners. This is not new or unique.

Fair point my friends. I would assume this also and not that MSI is going some round-about way to make this happen, but stranger things have happened.

AMD, Intel, and any other major chipmakers do this as well. If I'm not mistaken, some of the X3D chips are down-binned EPYC chips?

Always great to see silicon not wasted and, as others have noted, this sometimes allows for awesome OC SKU's.

Why people belive the new RDNA4 (rdna 3.5) will be cheap? There tons of rdna 2 and rdna 3 to be absorbed on the market

Just buy a nvidia now and cry later
