NVIDIA RTX 3080Ti to launch in January 2021?

[The Old School Gamer]

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will be equipped with GA102-250-KD-A1 GPU. The website reports on the 10496 CUDA core count (we were unable to confirm this part of the leak yet). The graphics card would also feature 20GB of GDDR6X memory (the memory speed is currently unknown) across a 320-bit interface. The TGP of the RTX 3080 Ti is estimated at 320W, which is the same value as for RTX 3080 non-Ti. The site reports that 3080 Ti will lack the NVLINK connector. The board number of the RTX 3080 Ti is PG133 SKU 15 (RTX 3080 uses the same board design).

Well I think that is the end of the drama that has been my 3080 pre-order right here chaps.
I am cancelling and I'm going to wait for this card instead.

Paper launch in Jan. No realistic stock levels till May at the very least. Nvidia should not bother launching any new products until the existing stock issues with 3080 are fixed.

It's only a paper launch now for me, with no end in sight.

So....

OcUK would gladly take your money now for it.

I bet... but for now they owe me a refund.

They can take twice as much of my cash again in January maybe lol.

 

[The Old School Gamer]

Gonna lol if it's close to the 3080 price

20Gb of GDDR6X = No chance, it will be a £1000 card I reckon.

 

[The Old School Gamer]

Well this is the card I think most of us wanted from the very start of the Ampere launch.
And one thing is for sure there will be no need for a 'Is 20Gb enough VRAM' post for this card lol.

Looks like I'm playing Cyberpunk 2077 on my 1080ti... the card that just refuses to die lol.

NVIDIA is haemorrhaging back orders and that is even before AMD has launched what looks to be a strong line up.
So if they are to salvage the situation they might have to throw 3090 owners under the bus.

The 3080Ti has to deliver.

Everything I post is of my own personal opinion.
Like most things it is conjecture based on what I have seen, heard and experienced.
You know and well as I do they would never release such statistics.

 

[The Old School Gamer]

You asked and I answered truthfully.
If you want to pick a fight go do it with someone else as I'm not interested.

Just added you to my ignore list.

The slower RT performance and no direct equivalent to DLSS (for the moment) is the problem for me on the RX cards.
I am still interested to see if the RX 6900XT can do any better with the extra cores and TMUs it has on hand.

But that's what it's all leading up to (in my mind)... an showdown between the RX 6900XT and RTX 3080Ti.
One of those two cards will be my next purchase, I just don't know which one it will be.

But yeah looking forward to the 8th of Dec.

 

[The Old School Gamer]

Glad I bought a 3070 TUF as a stop gap.
As here we are now in February and the 3080Ti is STILL just a mythical rumour lol.

To be honest just seeing any half decent graphics card on sale in the UK would be a plus at the moment.

 

[The Old School Gamer]

Wallet, liver and an arm and a leg on standby (hell may even throw in an eye ball)... I will own a 3080Ti it was just meant 2 b.

 

[The Old School Gamer]

Nice, but if the price is totally ridiculous (and no doubt it will be) I doubt I'll buy just a standalone card.
Might go down the SI/OEM route to secure one at a more reasonable price point, then re-purpose and sell on the rest of the PC.

 

[The Old School Gamer]

Will be tempted by a 3080Ti if they're obtainable

It will be the price that will be the kick to the nutz.
If they are anywhere near 3090 pricing it will be a pass from me.
Unless I can get one far cheaper in a pre-built PC.
