Now that both Nvidia and AMD have made a beachhead on next-generation process technology with next-generation architectures throughout their product stacks, the fight for high-end graphics card supremacy seems ready to settle down into guerilla skirmishes. Witness the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti that Nvidia just launched. Although the chips aren't quite as big and the stakes aren't quite as high as they were among the Radeon R9 290X, the GeForce GTX 780, and the GeForce GTX 780 Ti during the 28-nm era, history echoes. AMD's Radeon RX Vega 56 basically tied a hot-clocked GeForce GTX 1070 in our inital review of AMD's latest, and had I tested those cards reference-for-reference, it's quite likely the GTX 1070 would have fallen behind. For a company that's on top of its GPU game like Nvidia is right now, that kind of rebeliousness won't stand. Time to Ti it up.
