ASUS confirms ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card with 20GB memory

The manufacturer becomes the first to confirm that such NVIDIA SKU even exists. The listing reveals that two ROG STRIX graphics cards are in development: ROG-STRIX-RTX3080TI-O20G-GAMING (with factory-overclocking) and ROG-STRIX-RTX3080TI-20G-GAMING (likely to feature reference clock speeds).
According to ASUS, the RTX 3080 Ti SKU would feature 20GB of memory, which would confirm the previous rumours about the graphics card’s specifications:
The graphics card is expected to feature GA102 GPU with 10496 CUDA cores, the same number as the flagship RTX 3090. It would appear that RTX 3080 Ti will simply offer less memory (20GB vs 24GB) and carry a lower TDP, to better combat Radeon RX 6900 XT series.
NVIDIA was initially planning to launch the RTX 3080 Ti in January, although new information seems to confirm that the SKU has been pushed back till after the Chinese New Year in February. It is unclear why the 3080 Ti listing appears on the ASUS website right now.

In what was extremely obvious to anyone not already rolling down the hill, or in complete denial, we have further confirmation of a 3080ti releasing in a few weeks, with 20GB VRAM.

IMO this will be 'the' card to get, the card that will cope with newer games at 4K without being constrained by VRAM concerns. I think it will also be faster than the 3090, though time will tell.

Can't wait to get mine ordered, and very happy I picked up my MSI 3080 Gaming X as a temporary solution for my CX48, with them still being hard to obtain, selling it on will also be easy

For those in the market to spend £1k on a GPU.

Or £1250/1300 in AiB speak

Only 1k sounds like a bargain when a strix 3090 costs around £1800

We will get to see how much Nvidia thinks people will pay for a 3090 with 4GB less RAM.

Who really gives a rats *** about 24 vs 20, it's going to look good value compared to the 3090 is all.

£1200 for the 3080 TI Founders Edition is my guess.

£1000 would be better though.

having worked for several years in manufacturing, these vendors arent helping themselves, releasing a million sku's when they cant even fulfil demand on existing ones. All because they want to maximise the profit for each binning of a chip.

Everything is good value compared to a 3090

This coming from a 3090 owner.

Looks at my new PG35VQ

A 3080 can’t run the latest games at 4K (suitably) 10 extra gigs of vram won’t help it either!

And that's without the "shortage" tax and Asus tax. Closer to £1400 imo.

Well the only cards AMD released recently are in the £800 to £2000 price bracket, at today's market prices

Prices will return to normal when the world is open and people under 35 starts blowing all their money again on omverseas holidays instead of buying TVs and graphics cards and houses

not sure about the UK, but over here houses prices have increased 20% since April because people can't go on holidays

You sound like the typical 3080 owner who is threatened by a 3080ti. It should be obvious, even to a small child, that a 3080ti will also be faster than a 3080, irrespective of how much memory they have.

It just so happens in this case that you're getting a faster card, with DOUBLE the VRAM. A much better package overall and one which will last longer than the 10GB 3080 will.

There are already titles where the 3080 runs out of VRAM at 4k, this will continue to be an issue in 2021 and beyond. 10GB was never enough for a flagship card at 4k(even consoles have more LOL), this mistake will be quickly rectified.

i think its the same here, juts had a friend had a house fall through because they added 7k on for no reason because they can and it was all ready to go...

Hakanese · 25 Dec 2020 at 20:46

the TI's were always going to come out, I mean you really had to have your head in the sand as it's a standard practice now for the the RTX series. Just wonder if they will do the competitive pricing, or just stiff the consumers again

Blackjack Davy · 25 Dec 2020 at 20:51

Great another card you won't be able to buy.
