NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

Anyone else think the TBC at a later date 20Gb 3080 will actually be the Ti?

Definitely they are holding something back to trump AMD. Nvidia releases have traditionally led with Titan card plus 80 class card.

Then you release the 80 ti and you get the double dippers who flog the 80 class to upgrade

It could be how Nvidia play it. Bring out a 3080 10gb and a much faster 3090. When all the milking of those cards is done throw in a 3080ti that sits in between and bring in extra dairy farmers for uber milkage.

Unless Nvidia are keeping something a big secret, like some card sitting between the 3080 and 3090. then I think that it may indeed be possible that they are trying to make the 3090 look as appealing as possible to milk initial sales.

Having a 10GB 3080 seems cynical even by Nvidia "baseline spec" standards and MS Flightsim 2020 has already been shows to take more than 12GB VRAM at 4k (https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pag...-graphics-performance-benchmark-review,4.html), so if true this is a poor and short-sighted move by Nvidia, as even if they have the most amazing memory compression and efficiency technology, people will still be put off by it.

I have a feeling, like others have said above, that AIB's will be the ones adding more VRAM configs and charging a handsome price for it.

You could be right, it's been a while since i have seen anything like this done by AIB's. It used to be pretty common practice to have cards with double the vram for a good chunk more.

Are the AIBs allowed to do this even?

AIB's have often brought out cards with higher VRAM than the stock Nvidia design templates in the past, but not for a while. I don't think we can rule it out if the demand is there and people make an outcry over it.
