The retailer has two cards in stock that can (apparently) already be ordered. The GAMING Z TRIO model is listed at 1699 EUR while SUPRIM X is available at 1799 EUR. This is 300 EUR and 400 EUR more respectively than the 10GB models listed by Mindfactory (although not from the same manufacturer because the retailer has no MSI 10GB card in stock):

  • MSI RTX 3080 12GB GAMING Z TRIO: 1699 EUR
  • MSI RTX 3080 12GB SUPRIM X: 1799 EUR
  • GIGABYTE RTX 3080 10GB GAMING OC/VISION OC: 1399 EUR
The MSRP of the new 12GB version of the RTX 3080 SKU is not yet known. In fact, there is no confirmation that NVIDIA will even list the price on its website or communicate it to the media, as there won’t be a Founders Edition model. The upgraded RTX 3080 cards will only be available through board partners, who are reluctant to speak bout their inflated GPU pricing.

Can't wait for 4080's :cry: clear sign the 4080 will be 2K+ Euros.

French retailer confirms GeForce RTX 3080 12GB preorders start today

NVIDIA RTX 3080 12GB preorders today
The new RTX 30 is just around the corner.

Today NVIDIA is doing a strange launch of its latest Ampere GPU, the RTX 3080 12GB with GA102-220 GPU. The word ‘launch’ is a bit of exaggeration here, but at the same time, it is hard to consider this just an announcement when the embargo on both the reviews and preorders lifts on the same day. This is exactly what is happening with RTX 3080 12GB today.

NVIDIA has not publicly confirmed or even teased a possibility that there might be a new GPU being introduced, however is no longer a secret anymore. In fact, just as the rumors have predicted, the preorders will begin immediately after the introduction.

This fact has just been confirmed by Materiel.net, a large French retailer that will begin taking preorders today at 15:00 CET (a typical embargo hour for NVIDIA). The retailer says that there are definitely not enough cards for everyone, which indicates a limited launch.

Update: the retailer has removed the tweet, but we still have the copy: https://cdn.videocardz.com/1/2022/01/Materiel-RTX3080-Tweet.jpg

NVIDIA RTX 3080 12GB is a new high-end model equipped with 8960 CUDA cores and 12GB of GDDR6X memory. This card is a minor spec upgrade over RTX 3080 10GB which is probably why NVIDIA does not want to spend too much effort on turning this into a big launch.

Interestingly, NVIDIA is also to launch its RTX 3090 Ti and RTX 3050 GPUs by the end of this month, which makes this sudden appearance of a new SKU just as confusing as it could be. After all, not a single word about this card was spoken during NVIDIA’s CES 2022 last week.

Would an extra 2gb ram really make that much difference?

It has 256 cores / 2SM's more than a 3080 and 350w card ..

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-12gb-now-rumored-to-announced-on-january-11th

According to the leaked specs, GeForce RTX 3080 12GB is to feature not only 2GB more than the original 10GB model, but also a wider memory bus, which as result increases maximum bandwidth to 912 GB/s. Furthermore, a new GA102 GPU featuring 8960 CUDA cores is to be adopted by this variant, increasing the core count by 3% over the existing model.

At this point in time, it is unclear why NVIDIA is releasing a newer RTX 3080 model, or what will happen to the existing 10GB version. What is clear is that NVIDIA is now to announce yet another high wattage GPU in a span of two weeks. The company already revealed its RTX 3090 Ti flagship GPU with 450W TDP this Tuesday and will now add 350W TDP RTX 3080 12GB.

oh so no FE 3080 12gb but the 3090 TI FE will be avaliable which will probably match or be lower in price ?
Click to expand...

Doesn't mean they will sell the 3090Ti FE maybe just a prop for all we know (nothing more than a 3090 FE with Ti added on), they said nothing about pricing and said wait till later in the month to hear what will happen. Maybe no FE 3090Ti FE too and maybe that's the end of FE models from them now, who knows with them. Also if they have a FE 3090Ti then expect a MSRP of £1999.99 it wont be less if they have real stock and if priced less they will be unicorn cards and only reviewers will have them and no normal person can buy one, apart from the 5 they send to each country to make it look like they had some to sell.:cry:


I'm sure the AIBS have something to say about the not normal amount of sales of FE models this time too, normally FE models have a very short selling time and go EOL really quickly.

Apparently this driver is unique to the 3080 12gb which seems a bit odd , just tried to download on nv website and still states only 497.29 as latest... has anyone tried this driver yet ?

It got pulled because for some strange reason it didn't work on any other GPU only the 3080 12GB.. Guessing they forgot the rest of the INF files while stressing that the 3080 12GB is about to get a lot of negative reviews thanks to its price..:cry:

Remember 20% VAT will be added on too as these are not including VAT. Also FTW3 you need to be an elite member to get one :cry:... What a joke. Now 3080s are same or more than MSRP price of the Ti model that was laughed at.

Already see prices at other places but can't list them as OCUK will class them as competitors, lets just say EVGA price is cheap compared to the ones floating about on other retailers sites.

Now price wise that actually seems just about reasonable compared to a 3080 FE 10GB , using the exchange rate as of now that $1249.99 = £921.16 which is kind of where i would expect an aib 3080 12gb to be considering it should offer up a small performance uplift over a standard 3080. The other prices quoted earlier are ridiculous at £1500 for the MSI one but in reality probably where the price will end up .

You are forgetting sales tax for USA too that gets added on later depending on state you live in. Them prices basically have no VAT on them.

along with that extra 2 gig comes a wider memory interface and that added bandwidth is sure to increase your hash rate. :p

They are all LHR cards.:cry: So miners can go jump, the fake hacks are not real and the only hack is to use another coin not eth. Anyways mining will soon be dead to all that pay the electric bill by April in UK and europe and usa are about to get hit with a fuel price bump too.

Really confused what nVidia are trying to achieve long term...

ps3ud0 :cool:
Click to expand...

Long term is easy, the RTX 4080 BFE -1.21GW TDP (Back To The Future Edition) will have a starting Fake MSRP of $999.99+ and really sell for double in real world and then with all the distractions of the price and availability will be the huge TDP and all the people needing new PSUs to make these cards even work on their systems.

They have made it clear now that a 3080 12GB is really a $1200+ AIB card and if they had a FE model it would have been $999.99. The 80 class cards are now $1K and the Ti version $1.2K and next time it will be $1.5K in the 4080 Ti model FE MSRP, 4090 FE will be $2.4K+, 4090 Ti FE $3K+.

The funny thing is this card is using MSI's top of the line air cooling design and the card is about 80c with just 380w and the coming 4090ti will go up to 500w. I can't wait to see all the 90c+ rtx4090ti cards, truely we have returned to the days of Fermi!

You mean 3090Ti not 4090Ti.. I don't think we will see a 4090 class card next time, they will be back to Titan models.
