The RTX 3080 Ti will purportedly come with anti-mining tech on board.
Nvidia’s RTX 3080 Ti could be launched on May 18, and the graphics card will go on sale just over a week after that on May 26. That’s the latest rumor from tech site IT Home (as spotted by Wccftech). It backs up the whispers we’ve previously heard about the date that the card will supposedly be available to buy (at least briefly, because if this does come to fruition, stock is likely to disappear very, very swiftly). Hong Kong-based tech site HKEPC previously said that May 26 is the on-sale date, with the RTX 3070 Ti to follow in early June (but there’s no mention of that Ti variant in this new rumor, which could be telling). At any rate, despite these sources seemingly backing each other up, we obviously still need to be very cautious about the prospect of the dates being correct, and the 3080 Ti being imminent – although purported pallets of the new GPU being shipped have been snapped (and the card has been spotted at an online retailer too).
