NVIDIA GTX 1170 Alleged Benchmark Leaked - beats 1080 Ti
The performance speculation is about to begin, over the weekend a screenshot surfaced showing a 3DMark FireStrike result, in that result set a GeForce GTX 1170 listed as well as some specifications. We have a thing or two to talk about in this news item.
Let me first begin by saying, there's a big red flag on the screenshot posted (which leaked through Wccftech) who spotted it on a polish website. Really the screenshot should not be listing the actual name GeForce GTX 1170, but rather 'Generic VGA device', so a huge pile of salt is recommended while reading this.
Regardlessly, with a properly supported driver, the listing could be true. And if that is the case then an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1170 Turing GPU, read that well 1170 and not 1180, should be faster than a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.
According to the screenshots, the card is originating from EVGA and was seated onto a Core i5-8600K processor-based platform with a 396.36 driver. Some juicy details then, the card reveals itself to have 16GB of GDDR6 memory running over a 256-bit memory interface. It is however listed at a 2.5GHz clock speed, for an effective data-rate that would be 10 Gbps.
Charted up with the alleged results, that would/could look something like this:

Wouldn't a real result from an unreleased GPU that would obviously need some inhouse non WHQL driver show "driver not approved" instead of "valid result"?

I don't buy it. I'd like to, but I don't. Hope I'm wrong though, as an 1180 Ti would then likely be almost twice as fast as my 1080 Ti and that would be the heftiest upgrade yet. But no, I really don't buy it.

Yeah.... IMO there is no way the bean counters would allow the 1170 to come shipped with 12 gigs of ram let alone gddr6!
1180 maybe.
