Electronics company Asus accidentally leaked the existence of the Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti, an enhanced version of the 3080 that rumored to launch next February, after the Chinese New Year.
Two SKUs appeared on the Asus website: The ROG-STRIX-RTX3080TI-O20G-GAMING and the ROG-STRIX-RTX3080TI-20G-GAMING. The former will probably overclock the factory and the latter will likely use reference clocks. Much like previous rumors and leaks, the 3080 Ti will be between 3080 and 3090 in terms of memory. The 3080 offers users 10 GB of GDDR6X RAM, while the 3090 offers 24 GB. The 3080 Ti will offer 20 GB.
At the moment, the price of the 3080 Ti is in the air. Given that the 3080 is costing $ 700 and the 3090 is selling for $ 1,500, the 3080 Ti is likely to be around $ 1,000. Given the high demand for both cards, it is possible that Nvidia may charge more, but since AMD’s Radeon RX 6900 XT is priced at $ 999, it is likely that the green team will not be able to deviate too far from the course.
The Asus leak also revealed the existence of the alleged RTX 3060 12 GB, a direct competitor to AMD’s Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB. The 3060 12 GB is scheduled for release in January.
In the fall, Nvidia unveiled its GeForce RTX 3000 range, with the RTX 3080 attracting more interest because of its ability to deliver 4K graphics for less than $ 1,000. As a result, it was difficult to find the GeForce RTX 3080, as players snapped up the video card whenever it was in stock.
We hope that the likely arrival of the Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti will bring another option soon.
