NVIDIA will reportedly announce its GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card and tease some of its performance metrics on May 18. The alleged date stems from a non-public forum post on Chinese hardware site Expreview, which claims that the first reviews for the highly anticipated GPU will be published a week later on May 25. It also echoes HKEPC’s previous report about the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti being available for purchase beginning on May 26.







It is said that the card uses GA102-225 GPU, is expected to be equipped with 10240 stream processors, has a mining efficiency of 118.9 Mh/s, and is priced at 7,999 yuan. In...

Why?

Say......we're going to announce something no one will ever be able to own......

because we can.......and because we love black leather jackets.

The 3090 shows a minimal performance advantage over a 3080 at 1080 and 1440 resolutions. So a 3080Ti is going to fit snuggly in the middle for an extra $500 or so dollars?

To be fair, your bottleneck at those resolutions is going to be something other than the GPU going nearly all the way down the product stack.

I think "3090 with half the VRAM and some BS mining crippler that won't work" will probably sum it up. MSRP price is... a nice gesture, but yeah, a farce in the face of reality today.

The 3060 Ti is going to be the optimal choice for 1920x1080. 3070 for 2560x1440. You are wasting money if you're getting a 3090 or 3080 Ti for anything less than UHD 4K. Expected SEP of the 3080 Ti is $1,000 USD, or $300 above the 3080.

So a 3090SE, right?

For really high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p you are better off with a 6900XT.

Well.....you cant buy that one either, regardless of price.
Secondly, AMD stuff is awful at Ray Tracing.
This is all fantasy.

I don’t think anyone is pushing 390fps+ (In honor of the new Acer monitor) with the expectation that they will be doing it with ray tracing on.
