Nvidia presents Geforce RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti at Computex 2021

Already at the end of last year, there was talk that Nvidia would launch a Geforce RTX 3080 Ti, in response to AMD’s flagship Radeon RX 6900 XT. The unveiling that was to take place at CES 2021 in the days after New Year’s was withdrawn at the last minute and since then, new information about the graphics card has replaced each other. After a long journey, the mythical RTX 3080 Ti comes true.

The new enthusiast card does not offer any surprises, but the specifications are apparently in line with what has been rumored. Nvidia itself reports 34 TFLOPS, or about 34,000 GFLOPS, which more or less confirms the data on 10,240 CUDA cores with a boost frequency of 1,665 MHz. This is paired with 12 GB of GDDR6X graphics memory over a 384-bit memory bus.

According to Nvidia, the Geforce RTX 3070 is the big favorite among enthusiasts around the world and therefore chooses to point to this one with a Ti suffix. Inside the model houses a full-featured version of the GA104 graphics circuit with 6,144 CUDA cores, which of its 22 TFLOPS is judged to have a boostclock frequency around 1,790 MHz – highest so far in the Ampere family of graphics cards.

At the same time as the graphics card takes a theoretical performance life of about 10 percent, the graphics memory is also upgraded from GDDR6 to GDDR6X. However, it is not clear which clock frequencies are involved, but provided that it is at the minimum level for previously GDDR6X-capable graphics cards, the effective frequency is 19,000 MHz for a theoretical bandwidth of 608 GB / s. That’s 35.7 percent higher than the 448 GB / s of the standard Geforce RTX 3070.

Anyone looking forward to hanging on to the lock for the purchase of a new graphics card does not have to wait long. Nvidia will launch the Geforce RTX 3080 Ti on June 3 at a recommended price of USD 1,199, corresponding to approximately SEK 12,400 including VAT. One week later on June 10, the RTX 3070 Ti arrives at half price – 599 USD or around 6,200 kronor including VAT.

In conclusion, there is nothing to suggest that the screaming lack of graphics chips has eased significantly from Nvidia’s side. It is therefore highly probable that the recommended prices will not be complied with and that demand will continue to far exceed supply.
