Nvidia has presented three video cards of the Ampere range so far, with the GeForce RTX 3070 which will be available (at least “formally”) from 29 October. In recent weeks there have been rumors of the arrival of variants of the RTX 3080 and of the RTX 3070 with double the graphics memory in December: Nvidia has never confirmed this indiscretion, but now it seems that the two video cards in the pipeline have been canceled .

According to two unspecified independent sources who confided in Videocardz, the December debut of the GeForce RTX 3080 20 GB and GeForce RTX 3070 16 GB would have been deleted. The site points out that “the information we have clearly states that these SKUs have been deleted and not sent back ” .

Based on previous “rumors”, Nvidia had already set aside the idea of ​​bringing a GeForce RTX to the market 3070 Ti , and therefore the alleged cancellation of RTX 3070 16 GB and RTX 3080 20 GB would bring the number of “trashed” cards to three. The GeForce RTX 3080 20 GB was seen by all as a response to the new Radeon RX 6000 high-end (RX 6900 and 6800), in the predicate of offering 16 GB of memory.

At the moment there is no information on the reasons for the (alleged) cancellation of the two products , so the options could be various: technical problems, unsatisfactory performance and above all we must not forget that Nvidia is already struggling to bring the models announced on the market (a his say for too much question, but the doubts about the performance of the GPU are more than legitimate); adding new models and not being able to actually put them in the hands of consumers would represent another misstep.

According to what Videocardz writes, there would be no change in the GeForce RTX roadmap 3060 Ti, a card that could be revealed at half of November. The new proposal should have a GPU with 4864 CUDA cores active (1024 less than 5888 of the RTX 3070) and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory a 14 Gbps on bus a 256 bit.
