Notes
The GeForce RTX 3070 16GB features 16GB GDDR6 memory on Ampere architecture, released primarily for cryptocurrency mining with LHR (Lite Hash Rate) removed and doubled VRAM versus standard 8GB variant. This specialized GPU provides identical gaming performance to 8GB version with additional memory capacity. Built specifically for mining workloads though capable of gaming. Perfect for users who obtained mining cards seeking gaming use, creative work requiring additional VRAM, or specific applications benefiting from larger memory. Despite being previous generation mining variant, it delivers standard RTX 3070 gaming performance with extra VRAM headroom for texture-heavy games and professional applications.
