NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti, Eventual SUPER Revisions Allegedly Postponed Indefinitely Amidst Supply Woes
Everyone and their mother expected NVIDIA to announce - if not a SUPER refresh to their existing graphics cards with increased memory sizes - at least the RTX 3080 Ti. That card surfaced as a planned NVIDIA counter to AMD's preemptive pricing of $999 on its RX 6900 XT graphics card (which to be fair, is in itself as abundant a card as unicorns this side of the galaxy). GamersNexus reported NVIDIA partners' comments on the indefinite postponement of the RTX 3080 Ti and possible SUPER derivatives of the RTX 30-series lineup. It's being said that NVIDIA decided (smartly, I would say) to ensure consistent supply of their existing lineup to sate demand, instead of dispersing its limited chip production across even more product lines.
This would result, I have no doubt, on NVIDIA only having even more SKUs out of stock than they currently do. Considering the market's current state of mind in regards to NVIDIA's lineup, this seems like the most sensible decision possible. TechPowerUp has in the meantime confirmed this information with NVIDIA partners themselves.

3060 uses much slower memory and a much narrower bus than the 3080, so your point has very little sense. did they said that ? I missed it...
But sure, the vanilla 3080 is fine and was as intended. Keep believing -despite the intent to fill the whole stack with double capacity alternatives.
But regardless, are you seriously trying to argue that its appropriate that cards higher in the stack have less vram?
Price competition? AMD is essentially matching Nvidia's pricing. This ain't competition, it's a duopoly at this point.
All these above games are either close to, at limit, or can push above 10GB limit on the 3080. Additionally these games aren't even using mods with texture packs, if they were could rise up even more.
People seem happy to buy all the available stock at inflated prices, Nvidia must be laughing.
980: September 2014 >>>>>> 980 Ti: June 2015
1070: June 2016 >>>>>> 1070 Ti: November 2017
2070: October 2018 >>>>>> 2070 Super: July 2019
So I'd say that 3080 Ti 20GB is likely to be unveiled at E3 on June 15th 2021 considering that 3060 12 GB is set for late February *cough* availability. Currently no word on if we ever get a 3070 Ti 16 GB though.
