NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Graphics Card Launch Postponed to February
In the past, we heard rumors about NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card. Being scheduled for January release, we were just a few weeks away from it. The new graphics card is designed to fill the gap between the RTX 3080 and higher-end RTX 3090, by offering the same GA102 die with the only difference being that the 3080 Ti is GA102-250 instead of GA102-300 die found RTX 3090. It allegedly has the same CUDA core count of 10496 cores, same 82 RT cores, 328 Tensor Cores, 328 Texture Units, and 112 ROPs. However, the RTX 3080 Ti is supposed to bring the GDDR6X memory capacity down to 20 GBs, instead of the 24 GB found on RTX 3090.
However, all of that is going to wait a little bit longer. Thanks to the information obtained by Igor Wallosek from Igor's Lab, we have data that NVIDIA's upcoming high-end GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card is going to be postponed to February for release. Previous rumors suggested that we are going to get the card in January with the price tag of $999. That, however, has changed and NVIDIA allegedly postponed the launch to February. It is not yet clear what the cause behind it is, however, we speculate that the company can not meet the high demand that the new wave of GPUs is producing.

Totally worth. Why does this card exist?
Can you link to the source?
EDIT: Got it.. have to go to the article on the front page...
Now you've got cards short and cards overdone on their VRAM throughout the whole stack. Its either too little or far too much. Well played.
Expect GPUs by Q4 '21. They might have memory. Reviewers already got their cards by the way, well, those that only cover RT and DLSS that is, the cards rendered themselves to their doorstep faster.
Also, the image posted is most likely just a rendering. To me, the card looks kind of fake, like they tried way too hard to utilize RT in the image.
And that trickles down the stack. I'll also remind you of the fact that Turing > Pascal was ALSO a reduction in net VRAM per % of core power already. So what was Pascal then if Ampere is just fine? Way over the top? I dunno man, I'm seeing nearly 7GB usage at 3440x1440 on an 8GB 1080, for fine gameplay balance in Cyberpunk. And consoles carry at least 10GB already on a far weaker GPU than a 3080.
Well seeing as how I cant get any card apparently, I may try to get this one when it releases lol.
