Nvidia has apparently garnered enough defective AD102 dies for Zotac to make a new RTX 4070 Ti Super model with the flagship die.
Isn’t that pretty common? I know Intel will test their CPUs, and if an i7 isn’t performing up to spec they’ll label it as an i5
Reminds me of the RTX 2060 KO edition a specific AIB brand did for Nvidia (maybe it was Zotac, too?). It was designed to be a regular 2060 except it used a very cut down die from a 2080 Ti.
Gamer’s Nexus did a video on it several years ago (pre-pandemic, I’m sure) and they tried overclocking it to see its potential. If I recall correctly they were able to push it beyond what a regular 2060 could do, but only in certain situations.
I wonder if this will be a similar story.Nvidia will likely fuse off cores to hamper the OC headroom as they probably don’t want to canibalize their own gpu lineup
It’ll be interesting to see how their performance shakes out as I’m assuming that they’ll still provide a decent amount of FPS and OC gain to try and take more of AMD’s sales
