NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 20GB graphics card with the launch...

NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card will reportedly be launched as early as January 2021 to tackle AMD’s flagship Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics card. According to HKEPC, as reported a few days ago, the card will get a huge spec boost, offering more memory and a very competitive price point versus AMD’s $ 999 graphics card.

Introducing the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti in January 2021 to tackle the AMD RX 6900 XT – With 20GB of G6X memory, large core count, and competitive prices

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card is designed for AMD’s flagship graphics card, the Radeon RX 6900 XT. This means that the RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 are still available for the RX 6800 series graphics cards. There are rumors of an RTX 3070 Ti variant that will compete with the RX 6800 (non-XT), but the RTX 3080 should be conveniently positioned with the RX 6800 XT, albeit with a smaller memory size.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti “Rumored” graphics card specifications

Just a few months later, NVIDIA finally seems to have finalized the specifications for its GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card. Details of https://twitter.com/kopite7kimi/status/1323785556417863680 suggest that the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti FE graphics card (Founders Edition) has the PC13 design PG133-SKU15 and the graphics core GA102-250-KD-A1.

The specifications for the GPU GA102-250 have also changed since the last time and are now exactly the same as for the GeForce RTX 3090 with 10496 FP32-CUDA cores. This means that we are essentially looking at the RTX 3090’s performance at a lower price. There is a chance that some selected blocks for the GA102-250 GPU will be disabled and the card will almost certainly run at lower clock rates, but that remains to be seen.

The memory of the card has 20 GB of GDDR6X memory. In contrast to the 19.5 Gbit / s speeds of the RTX 3090, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is said to maintain the same storage speeds as the RTX 3080 at 19 Gbit / s. Since we are getting a 20 GB bus interface, NVIDIA will use a 320 bit bus interface, which equates to a total bandwidth of 760 GB / s. The TGP for the card is set to the RTX 3080 with 320 watts. This is definitely needed to power the extra cores so NVIDIA may need to tweak the clocks a bit here.

Technical specifications of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series Ampere graphics card:

In terms of performance, we can expect the card to tackle the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, but we don’t know if NVIDIA plans to sell the RTX 3080 Ti at a higher price than the RTX 3080, or prices for the existing one RTX 3080 and lower RTX 3070 cards to match the competition. I believe the price cuts won’t happen anytime soon, as NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30-series offering will go on sale as soon as it hits retail stores from the factory.

The RTX 3080 Ti could price anywhere between $ 899 and $ 999, which would be at least $ 249 higher than the RX 6800 XT. We also know that the GeForce RTX 3090 is around 10-15% faster than the RTX 3080 and the RTX 3080 Ti is likely to fall in the same range as well. This seems to be largely a repetition of the GeForce GTX 780 and Radeon R9 290X days when the 780 couldn’t impress us against the competition and NVIDIA had to go all the way to release the GeForce GTX 780 Ti to get the better of the R9 290X undo damage caused.
