NVIDIA RTX 3080Ti to launch in January 2021?

Overall I am happy with the performance increase over my old 1080ti but I would have been with the 3080 also. For the increase in performance over the 3080 it is clearly not worth the extra cost. But wrongly or rightly justified it to myself because -
  • I plan to skip the next generation and 10Gb was just not cutting it

This is my biggest concern aswell. I tend to skip a generation between upgrades too so I wouldn't upgrade again until the 5 series cards. I am thinking 10GB might not be enough to last until 2024

Is there any point to this for gamers? They have already said the 3090 is not aimed at gamers and it doesn't look like the specs of the 3080Ti will be too far short of that. I always wondered if 10GB was particularly future proof, I have been considering getting a 3090 for this exact reason

Is it a Geforce 3090 or a Titan 3090? The thing is without Titan drivers it absolutely is aimed at gamers rather than purely pro use.

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.

I totally fail to understand why ANYONE would not wait for the actual card they want, rather than buy somthing they dont - its lunacy.
Fair play to you, let these impatient fools buy the poorer sku's and then ebay them for peanuts later on

I cannot understand the impatience making people buya crap card

Yup - 3090 is the replacement for the 2080ti. Its only because Nvidia got caught with their pants down that the 3080Ti is rumoured to be releasing so soon. I am sure they would have preferred the normal double dip of the 3080 buyers.

this is well - totally
I think there is a chance the 3080ti could be on 7nm as well

I've heard that nvidia might be moving to 7nm TSMC, and Samsung has some double density GDDR6X coming.

This means we could see a 3090Ti and should be 7nm, over 1TB/s memory , single sided, less power hungry and running cooler.
Wouldn't be surprised to see all Ti's go this way.

I am sure this will happen - TSMC is quite busy at the minute and so I cant see them downing tools for Nvidia any time soon. I reckon Sep/Oct next year for Nvidia on TSMC

Well we all knew it was coming it was just a matter of when, didn't expect january though if thats true. They can't possibly deliver any meaningful stock at that point but I guess if people are prepared to sit on preorders for months on end it doesn't really matter. Either that or nvidia has been sitting on parts trickling out stock waiting to see what AMD come up before deciding to release the floodgates.

Most of us did, as it was extremely obvious. @Dirk Diggler was in denial though!

Launch a new card before people have even been able to buy the previous one. Comical..

Owners threads are filling up nicely. Probably only 1% of people post in such threads. There are hundreds of thousands of 3070, 3080 and 3090 owners world wide at this point.

If you haven't got a card, sign up to one of the telegram 3070/3080/3090 channels out there (google) and you'll be announced when Nvidia does drops for FE cards (MSRP) or when retailers with 10-15% higher than MSRP prices have stock.
 
This will be tricky for Nvidia because when considering a 3090 I compared the price to the 3080 and asked if ~10% increase is worth £700 and to me, no. If they place the 3080Ti between the 3080 and 3090 in terms of GPU performance then it'll be a bit less than 10% performance increase. But I expect the price of the Ti to be probably £1000, if nothing else just because of the high cost of the GDDR6x memory, and so I find myself asking the same question, is £300 premium worth it for <10% performance uplift and I think the answer is still no. if I needed lots of vRAM then it would make more sense, but you don't for gaming so it's a bit of a wash really.

The other possibility is that the 3080Ti is faster than a 3090 and I think that's unlikely both in terms of price to performance but also in terms of what they can get out of the current process node. If they move to TSMC and pull off some wizardry with speeds and get a much faster GPU then that'd be awesome and very tempting, but I doubt it to be honest.
 
The way I see it is depending on the speed of the 6900xt, nvidia will look to counter with a card 1% faster overall. I speculate that will be about 5% slower than 3090. They will release 3080ti at £1100, the premium over the 6900xt being the extra RT performance and dlss (although amd will have their own version, I have to think that it will be inferior and like nvidia, amd will take time to bring it up to the same quality).
I doubt the 3080ti will be faster than 3090 as that destroys the stack. I can't remember seeing a card with a lower number in the stack to outperform the one above. The 3090 is not the Titan. The box main slogan inside says something along the lines of "made by gamers for gamers".
They probably wanted the 3090 to be a titan, but knew AMD had a fast card. They couldn't risk them coming out with a faster gaming class card, so released as 3090. A faster gaming card would have to be called 3090ti. Which then starts the downhill of pricing, they would probably have to greatly reduce the price of 3090 and place the ti at the current 3090 price.
 
I think they'll pull another founders edition stunt though and target a short supply of 3080ti FE's at below 6900XT pricing to force AMD to drop. Hurts AMD more than it does NV as NV would only have a limited number.
