With the launch of the Geforce RTX 3000 series, the occasional eyebrow was raised over the graphics card’s ample capacity, with 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and over 10,000 CUDA cores in the RTX 3090. However, there is a large gap between the memory capacity of the RTX 3090 performance card and the series’ “normal” flagship RTX 3080, where the former 24 GB GDDR6X drops a bit to 10 GB GDDR6X in RTX 3080.
A common speculation has therefore been that Nvidia plans to launch a Geforce RTX 3080 Ti with more graphics memory in the future. If a product listing from Lenovo is to be trusted, it will instead be the Geforce RTX 3070 Ti that fills the void seen in terms of graphics memory. The product listing applies to Lenovo game consoles in the Legion T7 series and has been removed as usual after the unveiling, but not before it was immortalized by Videocardz.

The only thing the leaked information indicates is that an alleged Geforce RTX 3070 Ti exists. A separate report comes from the diligent Twitter profile @_rogame who intercepted information that a Geforce RTX 3070 Ti from MSI is equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, double up from the recently unveiled RTX 3070 is equipped with.
If the data is correct, the new card would have more graphics memory than its big brother RTX 3080 and also works at the higher speed 16,000 MHz, but the larger amount of memory would probably connect to the same 256-bit memory controllers used in RTX 3070. Geforce RTX 3080 has comparatively a 320-bit memory controller.

Two separate reports strengthen the likelihood that a Geforce RTX 3070 Ti is planned for the future, but data on 16 GB GDDR6 is so far isolated to an individual leak and can be seen as speculative until more concrete signs emerge. If it turns out to be true, such a card will undeniably become potent as the existing RTX 3070 according to Nvidia previously surpasses the performance card Geforce RTX 2080 Ti.
It is worth noting that Lenovo’s product listings only apply to the Russian market, and that it is not uncommon for partner manufacturers to create product segmentations (SKUs) that consist of speculative components the company expects to be launched in the future. If the reports on the Geforce RTX 3070 Ti turn out to be true, a launch will probably be a bit in the future as the RTX 3070 will not reach the market until October 2020.
