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.
