NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Landing in January at $999
According to the unknown manufacturer (AIB) based in Taiwan, NVIDIA is preparing to launch the new GeForce RTX 3000 series "Ampere" graphics card. As reported by the HKEPC website, the Santa Clara-based company is preparing to fill the gap between its top-end GeForce RTX 3090 and a bit slower RTX 3080 graphics card. The new product will be called GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. If you are wondering what the specification of the new graphics card will look like, you are in luck because the source has a few pieces of information. The new product will be based on GA102-250-KD-A1 GPU core, with a PG133-SKU15 PCB design scheme. The GPU will contain the same 10496 CUDA core configuration as the RTX 3090.
The only difference to the RTX 3090 will be a reduced GDDR6X amount of 20 GB. Along with the 20 GB of GDDR6X memory, the RTX 3080 Ti graphics cards will feature a 320-bit bus. The TGP of the card is limited to 320 Watts. The sources are reporting that the card will be launched sometime in January of 2021, and it will come at $999. This puts the price category of the RTX 3080 Ti in the same range as AMD's recently launched Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics card, so it will be interesting to see how these two products are competing.

also
"the unknown board manufacturer" you mean an unknown board manufacturer
The other one is fixed. :)
EDIT: This will certainly force AMD to lower the price of they top end card, as this card clearly now looks the the better buy, even with a slightly more power requirement.
The chinglish is strong in this one
Its pretty painful especially because this is from yet another half baked leak... Starting to become borderline sub-cancel worthy I kid you not. It feels like I'm funding clickbait. Its also not doing TPU trustworthiness and news vetting quality any favors.
This product was now announced, pre-announced and canceled three times and we still haven't got a release date. Are we that gullible?
I'm sure all RX 6000 cards will be sold out as well.
From the other aspect maybe wont release anything because 6900 xt performs overall better in games than 3090 and 3080 ti is weaker than 3090.
Step 2. Laugh at scalpers for wasting their money
Step 3. ????
Step 4. Profit
Uhmm now i could think to sell my 2080 Ti, even if absolutley not needed.
In reality, the 3090 is a pretty badly handled product, IMO. The product itself isn't 'bad', but how it was priced, marketed and positioned in the product stack made is seem just.. absurd. Considering the price increase, the 5-10% performance improvement is absolutely laughable, so you end up paying essentially just for the bonus 14 GB of GDDR6X, which will pay off for you in a gaming scenario... how? The 3090 should have never been marketed as a gaming card, especially with the 8K marketing gimmick, which is a total joke for multiple reasons, as proven by independent testing.
An RTX 3080 Ti would be a much more sensible product at $949-$999, but again, who cares what the specs or price is, if we are not going to be able to buy it for ~6 months after 'launch'??? :laugh:
oh, hang on.
Anyway people will buy 3090 because it is the strongest on nvidia side.
