Product Overview

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition is a reference graphics card powered by the new RTX 3070 Ti GPU, which comes with a small gain in CUDA core count alongside a moderate boost in clock speed over the RTX 3070.
As it is the case with all NVIDIA reference cards, the RTX 3070 Ti offers the purest form of the new Ampere architecture without extra bells and whistles.
Unlike the RTX 3070 Founders Edition, which shares its built with the lower-powered cards, the RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition uses the design of higher-powered cards such as the RTX 3080 Founders Edition.
While the RTX 3070 Ti comes with 8GB memory just like the RTX 3070, it uses GDDR6X modules, which are significantly faster.

Reviewers from arstechnica have found:
The RTX 3070 and 3070 Ti don't live in isolation, and the newer card's mostly meager increases may look fantastic to AMD loyalists who have purchased an RDNA 2-series GPU in the past year. If you're eager to upgrade your GPU, you can expect a moderately future-proofed 1440p performer, right around the same performance level as the 3070.
Pros
  • More VRAM than the original 3070
  • More than 8GB of VRAM
Cons
  • More expensive than the RTX 3070

Reviewers from pcmag have found:
The $100 increase in MSRP from the RTX 3070 Founders Edition will likely mean a lot more actual dinero than the sticker implies. It's not a universal blowout for AMD or Nvidia this time, more a trading of blows. The only true standout moment of our whole benchmarking process was the increased heat in the core.
Pros
  • Stable, stable performance
  • Strong overclocking performance
Cons
  • Higher MSRP than GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
  • No DLSS support

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition is a gorgeous graphics card with a black heatsink, surrounded by a gunmetal gray trim. It looks amazing on our test bench, and we find it hard to imagine any case where it'll look out of place. But it carries the same issue as the rest of them, too: the power connector. Nvidia is sticking to the 12-pin power connector, and it's something we'll just have to get used to. In games like Dirt 5, Final Fantasy XIV and Horizon Zero Dawn, the card has no problem at all staying well above 60 fps at max settings.
Pros
  • Fantastic performance
  • Decent value
  • Good value
Cons
  • Power connector is a bit short

Reviewers from theverge have found:
The RTX 3070 Ti is extremely capable at 1440p, and if you're willing to lower settings in favor of high frame rates, then this card will pair very well with 144Hz or faster monitors. Where it really disappoints is when you compare it to the AMD competition. AMD's RX 6800 is still technically priced lower than the Turing card, and my tests showed it surprisingly outperformed the Nvidia card.
Pros
  • Slim, lightweight design
  • Good gaming performance
  • DLSS and G-Sync support
Cons
  • No 4K support

Reviewers from trustedreviews have found:
With ray tracing off, the card ran Metro Exodus smoothly in every resolution. This remained the case with it on, too, with it only dropping significantly below 60fps in 4K. While the 3070 Ti isn’t as power hungry as the RTX 3080 or 3080 Ti, it still requires a lot more power to run than the base 3070. During testing, I detected a peak 454.1W system drawer running the Time Spy Extreme test. This means you really will want to have at least a 750W PSU running the card.
Pros
  • Decent performance for a 30-series card
  • Good value for money
Cons
  • No ray tracing
  • No DLSS support
