NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GA102-225 GPU Pictured and Detailed
The launch of NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card is upon us. The number of rumors circulating the web is getting greater and we have just received die pictures of the GA102 silicon and the specification of the specific SKU. Sources over at VideoCardz have provided the website with the first die picture of GA102-225 silicon, which powers the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card. Pictured below, it doesn't appear much different compared to the GA102-300 SKU found inside the RTX 3090 card, with the only obvious differentiator being the SKU ID. However, the difference only appears under the hood, with the GA102-225 SKU having 10240 CUDA cores instead of 10752 CUDA cores found inside GA102-300 of RTX 3090.
Paired with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, the memory will have run around 19 Gbps speeds. That will result in a bandwidth of 912 GB/s. If you are wondering about the performance of the card, it should remain within a few percent of its bigger brother RTX 3090. We have the first leak showing Ethereum mining performance and the GA102-225 silicon achieved a mining hash rate of 118.9 Mh/s with some tuning. The memory was overclocked to 21.5 Gbps, while the GPU TDP was limited to 278 Watts. The leak shows that the card has managed to achieve a 1365 MHz base and 1665 MHz boost frequency. While we don't have the exact launch date, the supposed MSRP will be anywhere from $999 to $1099, assuming you can get it at all at any price.

Its laughable to think any gamer is going to get this card for under $1500.
Oh, a GPU :) I thought this was a topic about extinct animal species of late.You're barking up the wrong tree.
Talk to your government to get a heavy tax on crypto going. Vote for those who prioritize climate over personal gain. Etc.
Tons of things you can do to make a change in limitless greed. But it needs consistency and a better social contract. Leave it to capitalism without checks and balances, and all you get is a deeper crater you might never crawl out of, or when you do, its so painful, you'll not even start - ignorance is bliss.
Or, just keep it simple, and vote with your wallet. Its not hard wrt GPUs, but every single person either using or mining crypto is part of the problem. That includes the happy gamers that tag along today and everyone waiting in line to buy the first GPU they can find.
Either way, Nvidia or AMD are the very last companies who should care about doing the right thing. They deliver the tools without any intent or emotion. Its up to people to use them correctly. Same applies to guns, or cars, etc. Its perfectly right for Nv and AMD to sell 'neutral' product as they do now: you get a shitload of transistors, have fun with it. Matter of fact, its the ONLY way I would ever accept buying a GPU to begin with. Artificial limits have no place on silicon, nor any purpose unless its about thermals or endurance.
Similar things apply to guns - its the user that makes the difference. You get a powerful tool, what do you choose to do with it? Waste energy to make money? Or simple entertainment what it was meant for. Do you prioritize getting rich off the back of the planet, or having a life you can enjoy, and the generations after you along with it.
Every single person that jumped on this mining bandwagon has lost perspective of what's really important in life, if you ask me. Even if people say they did 'just for fun'. We all know better. Its simple and pure greed talking and acting in best short term personal interests, instead of long term considerations such as, healthy market, less e-waste, and the idea you might actually be able to get back into PC gaming proper - or realizing the value of entertainment. The current situation is going to have a long term after effect - even if mining is just a small part of the issue.
Quit worrying about what everyone else is doing with their transistors.
Do note, this isn't directed at you necessarily. Nv and AMD don't give two craps about what anyone does with their GPUs. Anyone arguing otherwise is either stupid or mad they can't one for a price they feel they should pay.
Another note:. No one else cares what you think you ought to pay for a gpu so you may as well keep it your self.
Is that having fun? I beg to differ. Its short term greed at the expense of others, and yes, it is perfectly fine to be against that, in fact, its ethically correct, while mining is absolutely not. Just call it what it is, because its absolutely not true and never will be that your actions exist without any effect on people around you, even if the effect isn't directly visible.
It matters and its easy to get into a downward spiral that way, which is what crypto is on right now. 'He does it, so why wouldn't I'. Its akin to the gold rush, a desperate attempt to get rich more easily than the rest.
Maybe no one cares. But they should and if they don't, that is 100% 'I'm alone in the world, fuck you'. One of those nice side effects of unlimited, unregulated capitalism.
Its a simple idea; a better world starts with you, and it applies, simple enough. Still, I feel you, but that's that downward spiral we're on: 'If he doesn't do it, why would I'. This applies in a big way to single civilian versus big government or corporate. But still. Every little helps.
