There’s now officially an upgraded version of the GeForce RTX 3080 with more CUDA cores, more memory, and of course a higher price tag.
Sometimes the leaks and rumors are right on the money. We bring that up because as previously tipped in unofficial circles, NVIDIA today introduced an upgraded version of its GeForce RTX 3080 with more GDDR6X memory on board and a few other goodies. It doesn’t appear the card will replace the existing model, but sit alongside it. There’s no dedicated press release accompanying the upgraded SKU, though NVIDIA did give it a mention in its driver news. NVIDIA today announced it is prepping a driver release that is mostly focused on bringing optimizations to the God of War release that is bound for PCs later this week, though it contains other goodies as well. Towards the end of the announcement, NVIDIA points to an „additional version of the GeForce RTX 3080 with 12GB GDDR6X.“ „The GeForce RTX 3080 was the first GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics card that we released, and remains one of the best high-performance GPUs around, capable of delivering amazing performance at 4K and in the 150+ NVIDIA DLSS AI-accelerated games and apps,“ NVIDIA said.
