  "account": "Sources suggest that NVIDIA might be preparing a second version of the GeForce RTX 5070, utilizing the larger and more potent GB203 silicon. The information originates from hongxing2020, who posted an unassuming statement about the RTX 5070 incorporating the GB203 core. Furthermore, they claim that NVIDIA will be releasing a fresh driver to support the \"new\" GPU. The 5070 currently uses the GB205 core, which was introduced when the card was first launched last year. The GB203 silicon is generally allocated for the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5080, and this move is not out of character for NVIDIA. Earlier, the company used cut-down GB205 silicon for the RTX 5060, replacing the initially employed GB206 silicon. It appears that the GB203 silicon now being used for the upcoming RTX 5070 units is from batches that didn't meet the specifications for the more powerful Blackwell variants. Regardless of the silicon change, the card retains its original specs, although it is expected that some performance improvements will be noticeable upon acquiring the product. The RTX 5070 continues to come with 12GB GDDR7, running at 28Gbps; a 192-bit memory interface; 6,144 CUDA cores; and base and boost clocks of 2.32GHz and 2.51GHz, respectively. If you're considering purchasing the card during this uncertain period, it might be worthwhile to review our review of the card to make an informed decision.",
  "summary": "Rumours have it that NVIDIA may be making a second variant of the GeForce RTX 5070. And by second variant, we mean that the GPU brand may ship out using the bigger and more powerful GB203 silicon.
