NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080Ti to be "available" on June 3rd, RTX 3070Ti on June 10th

I reckon £569 for the FE 3070ti which puts it bang in the middle of the 3070 FE and 3080 FE and with the specs of the 3080ti being so close to the 3090 I reckon £1049 for the 3080ti FE. Whether we will be able to buy one is another matter altogether. The 3070ti would be a good buy at that price and this is from someone who said they would never spend more than £400 on a gpu. Unless of course they change all the pricing as there is a big gap between the 3080 and 3090 pricing.

One thing about these new cards I have noticed is that the 3080ti is really close to the 3090 going by the specs but the 3070ti is very close to the 3070 and way behind the 3080 in terms of Clusters, Cuda cores, RT's, Tensor's/TMU's and ROP's. It would appear that most of the performance gain is coming from the change in type of memory chips. They have left plenty of room for a "Super" version for a future release.

Depends on the hashrate they have. If they are crippled hash rate wise then they won’t be attractive to miners.

Even if the new cards are useless for mining, horribly over-priced, and demonstrate poor performance (relative), they will still be impossible to obtain via normal means.

At least they’ll be pushed through retailers rather than sold directly to miners. Then you only have the bots to worry about!

So the FEs won’t have LHR and I guess https://gadgettendency.com/the-firs...from-june-3-geforce-rtx-3070-ti-from-june-10/ says the AIB manufacturers will. So FEs will cost less than AIB but snapped up by miners, and AIB will be more but only snapped up by scalpers? Sheesh.

The 3080Ti and 3070Ti will both have the LHR implemented from the start , this includes FE and AIB models. The only difference is they don't have to state on the box that it is LHR model , the rest of the line up apart from the 3090 will be labelled accordingly from now on so will have both LHR and Non LHR versions .

An early 3080TI was doing 118MH , expect that to be halved come release .

What you mean is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080Ti will be sold out on June 3rd, RTX 3070Ti will be sold out on June 10th.

Could the 3080Ti have been 16GB? 12 still seems a bit, er, mean :rolleyes:

FFS,instead of all these new higher end releases,what about making GPUs like the RTX3060,RTX3060TI,etc actually available?? Heck,even the GTX1660 series you can't get and that is not even 7NM/8NM. The lack of available GPUs under £500 is going to have longer term ramifications for PC gaming IMHO.

As it's based on the 90 the answer is no.

I agree. They're the cards that sell the most in the real world.

3070ti with 8 GB is just silicon waste... JUST... enough.

The overall memory configuration all ties together. With a 384bit bus if latest rumours are correct, the options are either 24Gb or 12gb. Obviously not going to 24gb as that's the 3090 so it seems 12gb it is. When the card configs were floating around with a 320 bit bus (what the 3080 has) the options spouted around was 20gb or 10gb, hence where 20gb 3080Ti was floating around for a bit or people saying a 3080 with 20GB of VRAM could come out. Also why we see some quirks with the 3060 with 192bit bus the options became awkward in it would manage 6Gb or 12Gb, seems they settled on latter.

It just makes the entry price for a gaming PC much higher,and secondhand prices for even old GPUs is rather high too as a result.

These will be selling for over 2 grand. The RRP is irrelevant, shops will overprice as normal.

The Old School Gamer · 22 May 2021 at 08:40

I have the cash but I would never pay £2k for a 3080ti, completely out of the question.
You would be lucky to get even half of that back 18 months down the road.
