NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti rumored to feature 10496 CUDA cores and 20GB GDDR6X memory

User Banned (2 Weeks) - trolling and antagonizing other members over a series of posts, history of similar behavior
According to a new tweet from Kopite, the RTX 3080 Ti would feature the same CUDA core count as RTX 3090, which is 10496 cores. This is quite a surprising move from NVIDIA, which confirms that the Ti model will certainly not be cheap. Another interesting change to the specs that we saw last week is a new memory configuration. The revival of 20GB GDDR6X SKU appears to be on a table, as the RTX 3080 Ti is now rumored to have such memory configuration.

Kopite7kimi: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti rumored to feature 10496 CUDA cores and 20GB GDDR6X memory - VideoCardz.com

Kopite7kimi now reports on slightly better RTX 3080 Ti specifications. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Just last a week ago, Kopite reported on the plans to revive the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti SKU. This was quite surprising, even to us, as the SKU has been canceled for at least two months on all the...

After seeing the recommended settings for next gen games (in 4k with high res texture packs), I am more than ready! Of course you dont need 20GB if you only play in 1080p. But for me who plays in 4k/120fps its very important since 10GB are not enough for the next few years.

BTW same cuda core count as 3090.

My 3080 arrives tomorrow, depending on price I might sell it for a ti

Of course the price will likely be ridiculous.

I'll upgrade my 3080 if/when it arrives, but it's not going to be for a while. I wouldn't wait on it if I hadn't upgraded already.

If it were to launch right now, I'd imagine it would start around $999. At $1,299, it'd be too close to the cost of a 3090.

Surprised it's the same CUDA cores as a 3090. So its $200 more for a 3090 for an extra 4GB and its identical other than that?

That's an extremely bizarre configuration. The "3090 with 12GB" which seemed super logical for the 3080ti must have not met their cost or performance targets I guess so they had to do something strange?

Feels like there is a new, better graphic card on the horizon every day now, lol. First the 3000 series, then the AMD cards, now this rumour...
Glad I went for a new PC in January with a 2070S (huge upgrade from an ancient i7 with a 980TI).
Gives me enough time to think about what to get next when all the craze has settled.

Makes no sense at all. 12GB config would have 20% more memory bandwidth than 20GB. Why would nvidia have cut zero cuda cores, yet cut 16.77% of the memory controllers?

There's my card.

Goodbye 2080ti, you were expensive and became a meme but at the end of the day I got nearly two years of the absolute best gameplay any game machine could provide.

My body is ready.

20GB is same as 10GB, 320-bit. 12 and 24 GB is 384-bit.

This rumor is too fishy for me. I've been saying 3080 Ti will come from the very beginning. But I can not see any good reason why they would choose to include all 82 SM's of the 3090, and then take out two memory controllers.

As I said, it seems really strange, but Kopite7kimi has been pretty legit.

the only reason I can think is that the performance would be too close to the 3090. the extra 12GB of ram would make no difference.

There's barely any space between 3080 and 3090 as is. It's quite likely that this 3080ti in whatever form it ships will be within a few percentage points of 3090 performance, or match it with modest OCs.

Guess it all depends on pricing for this one. They do have that comfy 699 → 1499 gap to settle it in and I don't think it will be on the lower end lol. In which case we are somewhat back to the 3090 situation where you pay hundreds of dollars more for at most 10% extra performance and some extra VRAM. Line-up all around is sorta whack, but it is what it is.

Maybe they have tweaked thermals and it'll be an overclocking beast. Yeah, I can hope. Either way I'll happily pay the piper.

They should stop being disingenuous while they're at it and rebrand the 90 to a Titan as that's actually what that sucker is. C'mon, everyone knows it.

That's why this card/rumor is weird. They don't have that many options to segment their cards since the performance is so close. One of the ways would be to mix the SM count of a chip you already have with a memory setup you already have but who knows.

Gonna get cancelled in less than 5 days
It took me a month and a half to get a 3080, I'm fucking set for 2-3 years, no shot am I heading back into those trenches

3080 is currently over 1700+euros in my region, very had to get.

It will be a while since situation stabilizes.

So far we have more cancelled and unconfirmed SKUs than confirmed and released ones.

Hopefully all the "10GB is fine" people keep buying 3080, so high end GPU demand normalizes and there will be plenty of stock for this big boy card.

I don't get this. If the 3080 Ti is good, why would I not sell my 3080 and get a 3080 Ti instead?

So a 3090 minus 4GB for what will probably be a lot less money?

Holy shit.

And I'm guessing it'll be a TSMC 7nm die.

So this was a SKU that was rumored, and then rumored cancelled, and now rumor revived. Amazing.

They don't want to sell a 12GB card for more than $700 when AMD are selling a $650 16GB card with 3080 performance.

The 20GB VRAM will help them better justify the $1K+ price tag and conveniently means it won't outperform the 3090.

I'm in the camp that says 12GB is past the point of being "enough" so a 12GB 3080Ti would have been the better product but it having the exact same performance as a 3090 is a problem. I also think there's demand for an Nvidia card at the high end with more VRAM than 10GB. Plenty space in the $1000-$1200 pricepoint and it stops them not having anything to directly counter the 6900XT. A 12GB card wouldn't have fully addressed this market and would leave AMD with the VRAM marketing point.

Its not the most balanced product but it makes the most sense for the market segment.

There's no reason to release it.
These product are for when the demand is lower than the supply and you try tor reinvigorate sales.
Considering how well all of the Ampere cards are selling, I don't think we'll see it for quite a while.

Yup, I mean you literally can't get the mega high end right now, the 3090 is still picked clean every time they drop, 0 delay.
People who say they waited for this are going to be in the same situation we've been in this entire time, good luck.

Nvidia is seeing the big picture and thinking about the future. Not this week or next week. 3080/70 stocks will normalize. People will start eyeing other options, perhaps AMD's 16GB cards? Nvidia doesn't want to sleep on their laurels and pull "Intel". This card is logical reaction to last weeks AMD reveals.

I think it would be quite competitive at $1000-$1200. AMD had to enable both SAM and rage mode to match the 3090 at 4K so the raw raster performance of this card should be roughly on par with a 6900XT without those qualifiers. Then Nvidia can use their normal advantages of DLSS+RT as well as 4GB more memory to be their marketing points over the 6900XT.

Who would get a 3090 tho when the only difference will be 4 Gigs of VRAM?

Yup, unlike previous **80, the 3080 is the same chip as the top end sku. The ti always had a massive gap over the 80 because of this. There is no longer a massive gap, and now it just boils down to price wars and that last bit of performance.
