According to the Asian website HKEPC, Nvidia will bring to market the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti only next year, to January . This model has been “chatting” for a few weeks and, according to the latest rumors, it will be a card based on GPU GA 102 as the current RTX 3080 and RTX 3090, from which will “take” some of the respective specifications.

In fact, we speak of 10496 CUDA core like the GeForce RTX 3090, but with the same memory configuration of the RTX 3080 , that is 20 GB of GDDR6X memory on bus a 320 bit and the same TGP as the 3080, i.e. 320 W. The new card will not have an NVLINK connector, a prerogative instead of the RTX 3090.

This solution could enter a collision course more with the Radeon RX 6900 XT than with the RX 6800 XT . AMD has in fact indicated a price of 649 dollars tax free for the latter (arriving on 18 November), while the top of the range will debut the December 8 at 999 dollars. Nvidia proposes the RTX 3080 starting from 699 dollars tax free, while the RTX 3090 costs 1499 tax free dollars.

Nvidia would just need to slightly reduce the price of the RTX 3080 if the performance of the RX 6800 XT should worry you, while in the case of RX 6900 XT there are 500 dollars difference with the RTX 3090 compared to – according to AMD data released – similar performance in 4K gaming. The RTX 3080 could then place you in these 500 hole dollars, thus breaking the eggs in AMD’s basket.

We just have to wait : existence, release date and technical specifications of the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti have not been confirmed by Nvidia, but the rumors are pressing and in fact there is room for a product of this type, even after the alleged cancellation of the 3080 with 20 GB of memory.
