NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti features 12 GB of memory at 19 Gbps and hash rate limiter to tackle cryptocurrencies

A new rumor has surfaced about the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti video card from a well-known leaker, Kopite7kimi. According to the information, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will maintain the same specifications that were detailed last month, but will also receive the same GPU hash rate limiting treatment as the GeForce RTX 3060 to fight cryptocurrencies.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti may launch soon with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory, 19 Gbps pin speed and hash rate limiter to combat cryptographic miners

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti has been around for some time. It disappeared and reappeared several times with different GPU configurations, but as we get closer to April, things are becoming clear. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti may indeed be rolling out and will retain the same core configuration as the rumors before and will also come with a new feature that was first introduced in the GeForce RTX 3060.

NVIDIA has previously stated that existing GPUs will not be affected by hash rate limiting technology, but the next SKUs are certain to receive modifications to combat cryptocurrency miners. As such, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will also limit its hash rate on various cryptocurrency algorithms, making it quite useless and not a big investment for miners. GeForce RTX 3080, for example, has a mining hash rate of around 95-100 MH / s in Ethereum using the Daggerhashimoto algorithm.

If we use the same 50% hash rate limit as the RTX 3060 and apply it to the RTX 3080 Ti, we get about 45-50 MH / s, which is the same mining rate as the RTX 3070, although you are paying a lot more sum for the Ti variant. This means that more cards may end up on gaming PCs than mining platforms, however, we cannot say whether the card’s availability will be as good to start with, as the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 based on the GA102 GPU are still in short supply.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 12 GB FE (Founders Edition) graphics card must 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 them and will now feature 10240 CUDA cores in a total of 80 SM units. Since the main core configuration is completely new, leaked clocks and TMU / ROP counts must previously be discarded.

As for memory, the card will have 12 GB of GDDR6X memory. Unlike the RTX 3090’s 19.5 Gbps speeds, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti retains the same memory speeds as the RTX 3080 at 19 Gbps. As we are getting 12 GB of memory, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will use a 384-bit bus interface, which equates to a total bandwidth of 912 GB / s. Therefore, although we see an 8 GB reduction in VRAM compared to the previous specification, the larger bus interface should generate a larger memory bandwidth.

The TGP for the board is set to be the same as the RTX 3080 at 320 Watts. This is definitely necessary to power the extra cores, so NVIDIA may have to optimize the clocks here a bit.
