Following the 3060 8GB and 3060 Ti G6X, the RTX 3070 Ti now appears to be available in a different configuration, particularly with the ga102-150 GPU. There are 6144 cores available, as well as 8 gigabytes of gddr6x RAM.
The Zotac GeForce RTX 3070Ti-8G6X Apocalypse GOC is a new graphics card based on the GA104 architecture. According to official images, both cards have a triple-fan cooler and, from what we can see, a similar board layout. This upgraded model has the largest GA102-150 GPU from NVIDIA, but only 6144 CUDA cores. This means that up to 4608 cores on this Ampere processor were deactivated.
The revised variant has the same maximum boost clock as the GA104-400-based "Apocalypse," which is 1800 MHz. The only distinction is the greater TDP of 320W. Since neither Apocalypse card has the NVIDIA reference TDP (290W), we can only presume that the GA102 variant consumes 10W more power than the GA104 variant. The GA102-150 GPU is released at the same time as the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X RAM and the GeForce RTX 3060 8GB. NVIDIA has updated their entire upper mid-range segment with additional SKUs, although this is not a widespread release. In fact, models such as the ZOTAC Apocalypse may not even be introduced to international markets. Typically, when NVIDIA releases mixed GPU models, they are only accessible in China.
