So they say.. but who knows.. I have a feeling there will not be a 3080Ti..and if there is one it will basically cost 3090 prices by time you pay for it at retail. Also nVidia may not make a FE model and that way make the AIBs price it as they think and we have seen what AIBs are doing to their MSRP. This way makes nVidia look like the good guys and not have to make a FE with a price tag of £1250+ and probably still make a loss on it as they have done with all the FE models.
12GB is what the 3080 should have had since the beginning, would have avoided a load of bickering about VRAM

I fully agree with you guys, their "flagship" card should have released with more and not less VRAM than the previous generation. However, it's already been established that they went with 10GB on the 3080 because A: cost reasons (stated by Nvidia in the developer interview) and B: There were no 1.5GB GDDR6X modules that allowed them to use smaller VRAM amounts. It was double or nothing and using 20GB on the 3080 would have taken it out of their intended price bracket and used a crapton more of their precious GDDR6X supply.Agree and 12GB would have been enough and really the 3080Ti should come with 16GB and the 3090 24GB. nVidia got greedy and stuck 10GB on the 3080 and said well it's GDDR6X not none X and will be enough because it's faster.. nVidia logic as we have seen and then they add huge amounts of VRAM on the lower end..
Well it would have been 12x 1GB and just had same 384bit bus width as 3090 instead of 10x1GB at 320bit. Obviously this would have increased the cost and nvidia were looking at the best ways to manage cost vs performance
He is reliable. The 3080 Ti was scheduled to launch in Jan. EVen Gamersnexus said so. Unfortunately, the existing cards are still out of stock and its in bad taste to launch a new flagship, which is why its now delayed to March. This date is also tentative from NVIDIA assuming stock issues are sorted by then. If they are not, it will be delayed again. If the card release is delayed past May though, its a pointless card considering we are less than a year away from Hopper. The 3080 and 3090 owners won out by buying their cards last year.
They need to compete with 6900XT
It would have made the 3090 look even worse value than it already did at launch. Plus, it would possibly have had to use the same enlarged PCB design.Well it would have been 12x 1GB and just had same 384bit bus width as 3090 instead of 10x1GB at 320bit.

The 3080 competes with the 6900XT in terms of real-world performance. Better if you factor in RT and DLSS.
I guess it depends what card you currently have or if you have one at all, if I was on a 2070 super / 1080ti then I'd certainly consider waiting rather than paying 50% over what the cards worth which seems to be going rate recently.
I can’t imagine Nvidia will launch completely new cards in 2022. There will be a refresh and Super or Ti branding with new cards in late 2021 perhaps with new cards in 2023 I’d say.You may have no choice but to wait if the 30XX series supply situation doesn't resolve itself by Summer/Autumn. By that point the new 40XX series will probably be <12 months away but will probably run into its own supply issues
