A small graphics card manufacturer has started selling the mobile RTX 3070 Ti laptop graphics card, which it calls the “GeForce RTX 3070 TiM”, which barely offers the performance of the desktop GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, by converting it to a desktop version.51Risc GeForce RTX 3070 TiM graphics card with 8GB GDDR6 memory is available on Aliexpress. It disguises itself as the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti because the M nickname after the Ti is an unobtrusive detail for most users.
Its performance is almost on par with the RTX 3060 Ti
In the meantime, it should be noted that the card is much slower than its brother for desktop systems. Because the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti connected to the laptop carries Nvidia’s GA104 (GN20-E) silicon. The desktop RTX 3070 Ti, on the other hand, uses the full GA104-400 GPU. In terms of performance, it is not possible for the RTX 3070 TiM to compete with the RTX 3070 Ti or RTX 3070, but in terms of technical features, it can be expected to perform similarly to the RTX 3060 Ti.
Counterfeit processors and graphics cards are not as common today as they were 20 years ago, at least in developed countries. However, such cards are still more popular in regions such as Asia and Brazil because they are quite affordable at the price point. The 51Risc GeForce RTX 3070 TiM is about $337. The cheapest RTX 3070 is around $530. On the other hand, the cheapest RTX 60 Ti is $390. In addition, it should not be forgotten that these types of cards use Nvidia’s mobile drivers.51Risc explains the features of the product it offers and even states which silicone it is dealing with. So there is no fake part, just a hybrid setup. On the other hand, the naming of the card may mislead users with insufficient knowledge in this field.
