If this graphics card does indeed exist, pricing will be key in the battle against AMD’s recently revealed RX 6000 GPUs.
Nvidia’s RTX 3080 will have a Ti variant, the rumor mill is insisting, and it will supposedly run with 20GB of video memory. This new leak comes from ever-active rumor monger Kopite7Kimi, who previously highlighted the existence of the purported RTX 3080 Ti on Twitter, and has now provided some further spec details (as ever, keep that salt shaker handy). As you can see, the speculation here holds that Nvidia’s RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition will use the GA102-250-KD-A1 GPU, and supposedly it’ll equal the RTX 3090 in terms of having 10,496 CUDA cores. Of course, any potential 3080 Ti will theoretically need to differentiate itself from the RTX 3090, so it’ll doubtless be cut-down in performance terms in some manner – the most obvious route to take being lower clock speeds. The rumor reckons that the 3080 Ti will run with the same power usage (320W) and memory speed as the RTX 3080 (19Gbps), but unsurprisingly it’ll beef up the amount of memory considerably – in fact doubling it to 20GB of GDDR6X VRAM.
