NVIDIA Officially Teases RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti
Months of speculation can now start to come to an end, with NVIDIA themselves officially teasing the soon-to-be-released RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti graphics cards. These come in to supplant NVIDIA's previous category leaders RTX 3080 and RTX 3070, updating and increasing their performance so as to better compete with AMD's RDNA2-powered RX 6900 XT and RX 6800 XT. NVIDIA starting to tease these releases now coincides with the COMPUTEX 2021 keynote event, scheduled for next week.
The RTX 3080 Ti will be powered by the Ampere GA102-225 GPU (10,240 active CUDA cores), paired with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory (an increase from the RTX 3080's 10 GB). The RTX 3070 Ti is to feature the GA104-400 GPU (6,144 active CUDA cores) paired with 8 GB of GDDR6X memory, thus increasing overall memory bandwidth over the RTX 3070's GDDR6-enabled one. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti are thus expected to launch in early June. Reviews for the RTX 3080 Ti are to go live on June 3rd, with the product launch coming on June 4th. The RTX 3070 Ti will launch a week later on June 10th.

The first 3 minutes it's gonna be cheaper than a 3060 which is currently 850 euros here in the netherlands.
And a free pro tip:
One does not simply buy a CPU without iGPU in 2021/2022/2023.
Since 2016, every single new card release always gets rushed for the first few months. (Bot-investors want to get their money's worth.) But Normally after that supply exceeds demand (unless you have a mining rush on the cards)
Given that its also on the same length boards as the 3080, i suspect its a further cut back GA102 :|
Another reason to suspect its GA102 is the PCB appears to be similar to that of the RTX 3080 with the angled 12pin power header, on a hybrid between the 3070 and 3080 cooler.
