Since the debut of the new generation of GeForce RTX graphics cards 3000, NVIDIA has struggled with increasing problems in the context of the availability of new cards. These are very few and things will not improve with the upcoming GeForce RTX 3070. We already know that despite the 2-week delay, the stores will have at most residual amounts of Ampere GA chips 104. Supply problems led NVIDIA to cancel the GeForce RTX release 3070 16 GB and GeForce RTX 3080 20 GB . If anyone was waiting for their debut, which was originally supposed to take place in December, we are in a hurry to inform you that it will not happen. It is also unknown when the availability of the current RTX cards will improve 3000.

According to the latest reports, NVIDIA canceled premiere of GeForce RTX 3070 16 GB and GeForce RTX 3080 20 GB. The weaker GeForce RTX 3060 Ti debut is not in danger at the moment.

A few weeks ago we reported the cancellation of the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti that was supposed to use the full Ampere core GA 104. A similar fate now befell GeForce RTX cards 3070 16 GB and GeForce RTX 3080 20 GB. In this case, we are talking about the complete cancellation of projects, and not just a transfer to another date. Unfortunately, even sources closely related to NVIDIA are unable to pinpoint specific reasons for the closure of both GPU projects. In the case of GeForce RTX 3080 20 GB is said to have problems with adequate amount of GDDR6X memory. It is also possible that the reason is the already very poor availability of those cards that made their debut on the market last month.

Our sources also indicated that the designs of VRAM-packed GeForce RTX cards 3070 and RTX 3080 have been canceled. The only positive news is that NVIDIA still plans to launch a weaker and cheaper GeForce RTX 3060 Ti card in November. This GPU will also be based on the Ampere GA core 104, but in a slightly more trimmed form and also with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM on board. For GeForce RTX 3070, Founders Edition reviews will appear 27 October, while non-referrals will appear 29 October. On 28 in October, pay
