Our sources have already confirmed to us that GTX 1070 Ti would launch late October, but the exact date was unknown at the time. It seems that Nordic Hardware have an update on this matter. The alleged GTX 1070 Ti would, therefore, launch on October 26h (Thursday).

This is a new 400-ish USD graphics card to fill the gap between GTX 1070 and GTX 1080. A gap that was exploited by Radeon RX Vega series.

According to NH, the specifications that were already floating around the web are valid. The GTX 1070 Ti would receive 2432 CUDA cores, 8GB GDDR5 memory and higher clock speeds than GTX 1070.

The GTX 1070 Ti might be a good card for mining, as it features GDDR5 memory (which is better for mining) and almost as high CUDA core count as GTX 1080.

The AIB partners are already working on new models, so we expect a new wave of high-end cards next month.

Update: Heise.de confirms the launch date of GTX 1070 Ti. It is said that October 26th is just a paper launch, while in-store availability is expected one week later on 2nd November.
