A user achieved a solid 21% higher VRAM clock on the RTX 5070 Ti equipped with SK Hynix GDDR7 memory, showcasing solid gains in performance as well. Gigabyte RTX 5070 Ti Gaming OC Memory Overclocked to 2125 MHz; SK Hynix GDDR7 Performs as Good as Samsung GDDR7 Memory Recently, we reported that NVIDIA has started to utilize the GDDR7 memory modules from SK Hynix. The latest RTX 50 series Blackwell GPUs usually ship with Samsung's GDDR7 memory modules, but NVIDIA has reportedly started outsourcing the GDDR7 modules from SK Hynix to ensure better availability. We expected RTX 5070 to be the first GPU to adopt the GDDR7 memory from SK Hynix but looks like RTX 5070 Ti adopted it quickly as well. The latest instance is from a user who goes by the username "michelelee" on the Chiphell forum, who posted regularly about his RTX 5070 Ti with SK Hynix GDDR7 memory. The user tried to flash the BIOS of the AORUS Master RTX 5070 Ti on the Gigabyte RTX 5070 Ti Gaming OC in order to unlock a higher power limit.

Nonetheless, with the default BIOS, the Gaming OC with SK Hynix memory was clocked at 1750 MHz or 28 Gbps out of the box, which is also the standard memory clock of all the RTX 50 series GPUs (except for RTX 5080). With overclocking, the card was able to reach a good 2125 MHz or 34 Gbps of memory clock without many hassles, which is a solid 21% uplift in the memory clock.

It's a good 7% performance uplift, which should also help the card in better gaming performance. All in all, the SK Hynix GDDR7 memory should be as good as the Samsung GDDR7 and there shouldn't be any issues in performance or compatibility. At the moment, most RTX 50 series GPUs will still be available with Samsung's GDDR7 memory, but in a couple of weeks, you should see more RTX 50 GPUs with SK Hynix's GDDR7 memory. Both SK Hynix and Samsung are rivals, providing their latest GDDR and HBM memory solutions to NVIDIA. Since we have been hearing about memory shipment issues for the RTX 50 GPUs previously, it's a good step by NVIDIA to outsource GDDR7 modules from other manufacturers as well.
