A user in Chinese forums Chiphell is claiming that NVIDIA is killing off the planned RTX 3070 Ti 16GB model and will be pushing thru with the delayed release of the RTX 3090 Ti. No official word has been announced since NVIDIA’s end of January launch target for the RTX 3090 Ti and no update has ever been made for the RTX 3070 Ti 16GB despite pushing thru with the 12GB RTX 3080.
This could suggest NVIDIA is wrapping up its RTX 30-series family and will proceed in pushing development of RTX 40-series Ada Lovelace cards which will probably see a launch in the later half of 2022
