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

Saw this coming, but it doesn't change anything. We still can't buy any card for a sane price, so this just another few bars on the GPU review charts in a few months.

It does seem a bit cannibalistic of the 3090 though.

For 1440 both brands offer perfect performance to be fair.

Yup, the 6800XT and G7 setup I currently have are a perfect pairing, and with AMD's excellent sharpening technique it definitely kicks the rendering quality up a notch. Really don't think I'm missing out on anything by not running at 4k due to it!

Im surprised Nvidia didn't go with filling one side of the card with memory chips and maxing the memory bus out like the 3090, 12gb would be fine (for now) for gaming, and the extra memory bandwidth would help the 3080ti gain performance, without having to max out the cuda core count.

Of course im assuming that 384bit bus can use just 12 memory chips, and the 3090 is just double the chips per lane.

I wonder if they may be using the 2GB GDDR6X modules available by micron early 2021 (from microns press releases) as release date could coincide with that. It could make sense IMO if as the rumors suggest using the same bus and overall bandwidth as the normal 3080. However rather then 10x1GB modules, double them up to 2GB. So same number of modules, bus, bandwidth as the 3080, but double the capacity per module.

Factor in the lower TDP being quoted and it would not surprise me, for purpose of the FE model at least, to see Nvidia use the 3080 cooler and PCB's on the 3080Ti, more so if NVLINK is dropped rather then using the 3090's PCB / cooler.

Then again using 20 x 1GB modules would still result in the same net bus and bandwidth overall as the normal 3080 rather then 3090 so who knows but would think Nvidia would delay it if they could to coincide with soon to be released 2GB modules if overall likely to reduce Bill Of materials vs going with 1GB modules.

I would be the same except I have been on a 4k monitor for a year now, cant see myself buying a quality 1440 monitor anytime soon so my likely upgrade patch will be a small tv (32") at some point if they are affordable and lots of the new features we need.

I find people without a 3080/3090 desperately try and convince themselves, often quite pathetically so, that 4K 60 is not possible in any game. I don't understand this, do these people also convince themselves that an expensive, luxurious car isn't more fun to drive than a 5 year old hatchback, just because it can't fit into grandma's drive?

Obviously there are games were you need to turn down some settings, though not that many. Ignoring badly optimized/beta games like Cyberpunk and MS2020, as they run terribly regardless of resolution.

I accept a 3090 is fully capable of 60 fps 4K ultra in the vast majority of games it's just the few outliers do make it's value proposition questionable. It all depends which games you want to play and with which bells and whistles. I'm pretty sure the situation with MSFS2020 will change when the Direct X 12 version is released and I know it is CPU bound, if you're happy with your purchase and you're happy to turn down settings then you've made a good choice. I also think it amusing that some people try and convince themselves quite pathetically that turning down settings on their 3090 for 4K 60 fps is acceptable in more than a couple of games that released a year prior to its launch.

Am thinking £899 or £999 if it was an FE but being an Asus Strix the price is going be sky high :(

Oh the Strix I reckon will be £1299 or thereabouts

They have no shame at all about pricing at or above the FE price of the card above... I can see OCUK have the 3070 listed at £689 which is £40 more than a 3080 FE

I don't understand why people go for the Strix version of a 3070, yes they are nice cards but I would rather use the extra money to get something like a FE 3080.

When you get to the 3090s and 6900 XTs it is a different argument as they are the flagship cards and the only way to go better is to go with something like the Strix version. Having said that it is still a lot of extra money for about 2% or 3% extra performance and a slightly quieter cooler card.

Absolutely, the fact there is AIB 3070s costing more than a 3080FE is madness, I have already decided if I manage to get a card, the one I am going for now is the 3080FE, all the rest are broken in terms of value.

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 :)

The 3080 with 10GB GDDR6X is not "constrained" at 4k and won't be for a long time. 20GB VRAM is nothing but a nice luxury.

Not worth waiting months for IMO. The 3080Ti will be severely limited stock and come at a huge premium.

It’ll be closer to 3090 pricing than 3080 pricing IMO. Why wouldn’t it be? No lower than bang in the middle.

This ^

The only saving being made compared to the 3090 is 4GB of memory.

I can see the 3090 going EOL very soon and a full fat GA102 Titan replacing it.

With this setup NVidia will be able to charge almost as much for the 3080 Ti as they did for the 3090 and a lot more for the Titan.
 
If anTitan replaces the 3090 at $1500 then there is a large gap, no doubt Nvidia will then come in asking $1200-$1309 for the 3080ti, especially since it beats the 6900xt

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 tried to tell somone els this on another thread about 3080ti and they refuse to listen.

I can see it too, the 3090 name is now mud, and mud sticks.
