Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti rumors are coming in fast now, and the newest from the grapevine is that this purported graphics card is established to launch on Might 26 – with the RTX 3070 Ti to follow warm on its heels.

We would not get carried absent, nevertheless, as we have heard purported launch timeframes for the 3080 Ti prior to – we’ll arrive back again to that, but 1st off, let’s chew above the contemporary rumor by itself.

The phrase from Hong Kong-dependent tech web page HKEPC, as spotted by renown hardware leaker @momomo_us on Twitter, is that the 3080 Ti will arrive on Might 26 in accordance to Taiwanese graphics card makers. The RTX 3070 Ti will then follow extremely quickly in early June (massive piles of salt all-round, in a natural way).

Nevertheless, preceding rumors have pointed to the 3080 Ti launching in Might, so this does match up with what we have heard from the rumor mill by now.

The specs outlined in this new rumor also marry with what we have heard about the RTX 3080 Ti in the previous, namely that it will have ten,240 CUDA cores, 12GB of GDDR6X movie memory and a 384-bit memory bus.

As for the spec of the RTX 3070 Ti, that’ll evidently operate with 6,one hundred forty four CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR6X VRAM (nevertheless it could also offer a 16GB variant as nicely).

Mining deterrent

HKEPC also experiences that Nvidia will purportedly apply a mining effectiveness limiter with the 3080 Ti – anything we have heard somewhere else – to minimize the hashrate of the GPU by fifty{36a394957233d72e39ae9c6059652940c987f134ee85c6741bc5f1e7246491e6} when crypto-mining exercise is detected, a practical countermeasure to stop inventory being acquired up by miners. In principle, in any case, offering that miners don’t obtain a way to circumvent that security (which is accurately what occurred with the RTX 3060 when this anti-mining tech was 1st launched, if you recall).

Nothing is outlined about the rate of the RTX 3080 Ti here, but new speculation factors to it being distinctly weighty (it could operate to ¥7,999 in China, which is around $1,099 / £800 / AU$1,420).

All of the 3080 Ti rumors appear to be to be lining up, then, but we’d be silly to get as well carried absent as we outlined at the outset. Right after all, keep in mind way back again in November 2020 when the RTX 3080 Ti was rumored to be appearing with 20GB VRAM. (And that could indeed have been Nvidia’s approach early on – but options adjust).

Additionally, does it seriously make perception to convey a further large-conclude Ampere graphics card to the table when the RTX 3090 and 3080 by now dominate in contrast to AMD’s rival best-conclude GPUs (especially provided the likes of ray tracing and DLSS)? Wouldn’t it appear to be a more probably phone to deal with the funds conclude of the marketplace 1st with the rumored RTX 3050 types?

This is anything we have been mulling above at TechRadar towers today, and coming shortly, seem out for a more in-depth piece on where by Nvidia is probably to go upcoming with its RTX 3000 GPUs. As at any time, only time will seriously notify, but the rumor mill surely appears to be convinced plenty of that the 3080 Ti is coming extremely shortly.
