It really depends on RDNA2 but I suspect there's a lot of truth in it. I'm waiting for the 3099.Would agree until all confirmed take with salt. But does make sense, nice slot for a Ti card between the 3080 and 3090 both chip, price and even naming wise. Will be left with a bunch of chips I imagine that do not need to locked off quiet as much as the 3080, but do not quiet make the cut for the 3090 as they all share the same core.
Suspect it may be like Titan X and 1080Ti (though not quiet as close as that pairing). Those who can't wait for the best will get the 3090 so get the premium from those guys. Then get the 3080Ti out there and get more sales from those who the 3090 price tag was a tad too much.
3070Ti with 16GB for $600 and 3080Ti with 20GB for $800(+) make sense product wise.
Also makes sense for Nvidia to wait and see what happens to Big Navi before releasing these.
As the original article said, it could also be that Lenovo published out of date information. It seems obvious that a 20GB 3080 and 16GB 3070 exist in at least design form, based on the leaks. It's possible they were originally intending to just release those versions with the double memory, but then changed their minds and scaled it back to what we have now. Maybe they know AMD have nothing to threaten to them, so they could afford to gimp the VRAM. Maybe it was always the plan to launch the small versions first and the doubled VRAM models will come next year. Impossible to say really.3070 Ti confuses me a bit. There's only £170 between the 3070 and 3080 as it is. Seems a bit tight for another card to be slotted between the two.
It does make me wonder if the Ti cards could come after AMD's announcement, and be accompanied by adjusted pricing?
I'd be careful with any leaks - lots of sites and certain YouTubers, which have been bigging up their source, have been dead wrong on Ampere heh.
12/16/20/24 sounds very much like the intended figures.As the original article said, it could also be that Lenovo published out of date information.

All eyes on AMD now. It probably depends what they are able to release, and when.When will the super cards launch?
The new I/O technology is designed to load stuff into VRAM faster, but it's still using the PCIe bus, which is far, far slower than the VRAM itself. There's still going to be a huge performance penalty for running out of VRAM and needing to shuffle stuff in and out, regardless of whether it's coming from system memory or direct from an SSD.Is the extra 10GB VRAM likely to be a worthwhile upgrade for a £250-300 price increase? [Edit: noted that it will have extra CUDA cores too]
Also, do we know enough about this touted new gizmo where the GPU accesses data on SSD drives in a more effective way? Does that perhaps reduce the VRAM requirements?
Intel fanbois still keep their gaming crown then!Good that Techpowerup have given it a green light for 640x480 gaming.
Read up on how the PS5 does its IO, and look at how AMD's High Bandwidth Cache Controller worked on Vega cards. RTX IO is the same principle.Also, do we know enough about this touted new gizmo where the GPU accesses data on SSD drives in a more effective way?
