According to very reliable rumor sources, Nvidia will present its next graphics card of the new AIDA generation on January 3. I.e. actually, the upcoming Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti was already presented in September, only under a different name (RTX 4080 12G) and then withdrawn again in October. However, not for cable fire reasons, but because there had been a shitstorm from the community: About not marketing a 192-bit memory bus with xx80 designs.
Now, for the availability from January 5th, everything should get its right again and the same card doesn't only get the xx70 ending, but also the Ti emblem, which usually stands for a particularly good price-performance ratio at Nvidia.
Exactly this price tag should be exciting, because the RTX 4080 12G was originally supposed to cost 900 dollars (without taxes), which already means a new price dimension for a 192 bit card. In addition, AMD has meanwhile introduced its first RDNA3 cards, whose RX 7900 XT comes along for 900 dollars with a whopping 320 bit memory bus and 20 GB memory. This is also more likely to compete with an RTX 4080 16G (for ) based on its other specs, which will likely push Nvidia to price the RTX 4070 Ti lower. However, Nvidia reportedly still has too full RTX 30xx stocks, which would then also have to be lowered in price one more time for a sale.
Which brings us to the performance data of the RTX 4070 Ti. With around 40 TFlops of theoretical FP32 performance, it is on par with an RTX 3090 Ti, but it should be significantly slower in video applications based on experience due to its halved memory transfer rate (500 GB/s vs. 1000 GB/s). Most likely, its real-world average performance is more between an RTX 3070 (20 TFlops,500 GB/s) and an RTX 3080 (30 TFlops, 760 GB/s). Thus, you should make a direct price comparison with these cards if you are really interested.
However, a lot can still happen until the Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti is presented (3.1.2023) or the targeted availability (5.1.2023)...
