NVIDIA RTX 3070 with 16GB on display
The video from TecLab who are attending Computex shows a very interesting graphics card that shouldn’t actually exist.
The RTX 3070 GPU released by NVIDIA has seen many variants, but the only memory configuration that is officially available is 8GB GDDR6. Turns out it is actually easy to modify the card to support twice as many gigabytes, but this requires custom mods like we have seen many times already.
Turns out, there is a company called Gxore who are about to offer RTX 3070 cards with 16GB memory by default. The company has a booth at Computex where they show their latest Radeon and GeForce models. It appears that this company is doing professional GPUs for wall displays, hence many of these cards support multiple displays through either a proprietary connector or by multiple Mini-DisplayPorts.
One should note that RTX 3070 16GB does not officially exist and Gxore is not an official board partner of NVIDIA. The 3070 SKU is not even listed on the company website, which strongly suggests this is a new product which is not yet offered for sale.
Nevertheless, should other custom board vendors decide to follow suite, NVIDIA might soon have a problem. The company is about to unleash its RTX 4060 Ti 16GB next month. The issue of unofficial graphics cards spreading on Chinese or Brazilian markets is actually being tackled by NVIDIA. These markets are flooded with rebranded or customized graphics cards, sometimes even based on mobile GPUs in a desktop-like form. None of such hybrid/custom designs are approved by NVIDIA, which could lead to potential issues with the drivers.
