Some more information regarding the upcoming NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti graphics card has surfaced online. According to Videocardz, the launch of the RTX 3080 Ti has been pushed to April 2021, and that this date is also not guaranteed to be 100% accurate, as the card may be pushed back further.
Some new specifications for the RTX 3080 Ti have also been released online by famous leaker Kopite7kimi. NVIDIA has decided to revise the core and memory configuration once again. This was confirmed by the leaker in his tweets as well. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is now rumored to feature 12 GB GDDR6X memory and 10240 CUDA cores and is expected to launch in April.
NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card is expected to feature the PG133-SKU15 PCB design and the GA102-250-KD-A1 graphics core. The GA102-250 GPU has also changed since the last time we saw it and will now feature 10240 CUDA cores within a total of 80 SM units.
Things have changed.
Maybe the current spec is 10240FP32, 12G GD6X. 😃— kopite7kimi (@kopite7kimi) February 6, 2021
The RTX 3080 Ti will have 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and the card will be running at the same 19 Gbps memory speed as the original RTX 3080. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will be using a 384-bit bus interface which equals a total bandwidth of 912 GB/s. The card will come with a huge TDP of 320 watts which is the same as the RTX 3080.
As for the launch date, Videocardz has suggested that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is likely to launch sometime in April though the date isn’t 100% guaranteed. The reason stated by Videocardz is that the same roadmap that lists down April also has other dates mentioned. But with that said, the RTX 3080 Ti still aims to compete against the Radeon RX 6900 XT at a lower price point.
RTX 3080 Ti is rumored to drop with the price of around 999 USD, so we will have to wait and see how it fairs with the team red’s RX 6900 XT graphics card.
