Pascal · 2017
Released in 2017 as a desktop-only Pascal card, the GTX 1070 Ti slots in between the 1070 and 1080 with 2432 cores and the same 8GB, 256-bit GDDR5 memory setup as the 1070, but higher clocks (up to 1683 MHz boost) close most of the performance gap to its pricier sibling.
It's a PCIe 3.0 x16 add-in card rather than a laptop chip, drawing up to 180W, and was popular with desktop gamers who wanted near-1080-class performance without paying 1080 prices. On this laptop-focused site it appears purely as a reference entry for comparison, not as something you'd find inside a notebook.
Comfortable 1080p gaming and everyday creative tasks.
8 GB GDDR5 memory.
Push performance beyond base clock.
PCIe 3.0 x16
Mainstream desktop power draw with solid headroom for upgrades.
