The RTX 3080 TI will mostly replace the RTX 3090...

Do we really think that NVidia are going to do FE Ti cards beyond the 3060Ti?

I'm holding out for a 3080 at the mo and got the 3060Ti as a stop gap but if the 3080Ti will be an FE card, and they're reasonably priced then I'll wait, however the AIB 3080Ti cards will no doubt go beyond the price of the 3090FE...

We will see a Ti. Its inevitable IMO as the core count between the 3080 and 3090 is fairly large, even if at most resolutions it does not translate to anything meaningful. No doubt there is a bunch of silicon that can't make 3090 cut but does not need to be cut as much as the 3080 is.

That said, random thought had on, if the 3080Ti is as recent rumours are going of 10,240, that is a pretty minor reduction vs the 3090 which would be interesting. Heck with that in mind could even see a 3080 Super IMO with something like mid 9000 Cuda cores 8704 on 3080 leaves a big gap to at 10,240 core 3080Ti (if it does come about)
 
Seems some right delusions from experts in this thread that have inside info or g67575 just does not like the 3090 (Jelly)!

The 3080Ti replaces the 3080 not 3090 so let see if it even materialises anytime soon, in the mean time some have been enjoying their 3080/90's since Sep 2020.

I'm on about NVidia making FE cards, rather than all of the 3080Ti's being AIB cards, in which case the prices will suck donkey phallus. An FE card is the only card that's giving decent pricing/performance, the AIB's are just creaming the shortage/supply/demand profits..
 
I'm gonna try and buy one and sell my 3080 for a mint - to a miner :cool:

I wonder if the Ti's have been refined in production and the 3080ti's in games may exceed the 3090's - they'll be close to 3090 gaming performance as much as makes no difference.

Ahhh on FE side. I think we will see a FE model if a 3080ti comes out. Now how many will be the question and it will be a trickle anyways like other Fe models so pot luck getting once. I do not think it's the AIBs only creaming profit on AIB models, fully expect retailers creaming as are any parties in-between so adds up. FE model Nvidia seem to at least control price wise.

I might hold off trying to get a 3080 then, I'd rather have a Ti if it comes in at less than a grand, which sounds odd to type....

All a guess keep in mind though! Bigger point will be if you will really be able to get a 3080ti if it does come out in a FE flavour. 3090 goes in minutes, 3080 seconds, I fully expect the 3080ti will also go in seconds so will need to be quick, assuming it does make an appearance of course as an FE card.

Hopefully though given all silicone mining limits it stays out that market but I expect demand is pent up in general right now anyways.
 
I have a funny feeling the 3080ti and 3070ti won't be out as FE models and we all know what that will mean for pricing, 3080ti will be 3090 prices and 3070ti will be more than a fe 3080. Lets see what Nvidias game will be on this, I feel they will pass the buck to the AIBS just to keep prices inflated and they don't get the blame for it.
 
Playing at 1440p, a 3080 would be more than enough to hold for quite some time. Ended up getting the 3090 just before Xmas because the price was very close to the rare 3080s around.
Looking back, it was a good buy. And the extra memory, hard to guess if the card will age before the quantity of memory available on the 3080 would limit the card. Not an issue with the 3090.
 
There generally is fe editions of at least the top tier cards, how far down the stack that will go is anyone's guess at this point. Can't see nvidia suddenly changing this for the ti iterations.
 
Linus just confirmed the 3080ti it's real guys

In his latest video released today, right at the end he said "subscribe and get notified about our upcoming review of the new rtx3080ti"
 
As a product, I think it will be more profitable than the RTX 3090, since I think they still can't produce many of these.

Most will probably still prefer the RTX 3080 FE for price / performance. As you can see here, the RTX 3080 FE holds up well:

But the RTX 3060 TI (FE) is still king of price / performance at 4K resolution for Ampere and RDNA 2 GPUs (and this doesn't even take DLSS into account).

The RTX 3090 is worst on the list for price / performance, I think it would make more sense as a product if they made the price just £100-£200 more than the RTX 3080 TI (rumoured to cost $1000).

Nah I'd still pay the £400 odd pounds (lets put it this way anyone shopping for a Ti will have the cash to get the best) and get an extra 12gb Vram to future proof. Resale of the 3090 will be higher due to the mining capabilities I'm sure..
 
The RTX 3080 TI certainly has it's merits (particularly VRAM), the problem is, the performance improvement vs the RTX 3080 will be just under 10% overall (RTX 3090 performance was ~10% higher than the RTX 3080 on release, if I recall correctly).

Maybe they will sell it AIB only for around £1000, if the stock situation improves?

Still not selling me on the 3080Ti- If I have a £1000 I'd rather push the boat out a bit more (£1399) and get 3090FE for more Vram and better resale values
Why would I buy a reduced capability card with less resale value than the 3090?
