The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti has made a few appearances in the news in recent weeks and rumors of its release date seem to be set at May 26, with the RTX 3070 Ti hot on its heels. One version of the graphics card, the MSI 3080 Ti Ventus 3X OC, was previously mentioned when it was seen in a shipment to the United States. The same GPU has now appeared in a listing on Polish retailer X-Kom's website, albeit without images or the ability to pre-order the card. The listing is likely to prepare an official release date for the product, as the retailer allows customers to inquire about stock availability (indicating that they are fully aware the page is live), but X-Kom is not. can provide information based on the price of the GPU. or shipping dates. There's no official price for the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti yet, but speculation has it pricey at ¥7,999 in China, or around $1,099 / £800 / AU$1,420. It's still cheaper than the RTX 3090, but it's certainly not affordable hardware for everyone. Despite the lack of actual images, we would expect the MSI 3080 Ti Ventus 3X OC graphics card to be identical to the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090, with a 2.5-slot three-fan cooling solution and a graphene backplate. The GPU is also expected to use two 8-pin connectors for power and feature the standard HDMI outputs and triple display port.
Professional gamer, anti-mining
A screenshot from the X-Kom page listing the RTX 3080 Ti (Image credit: X-Kom) The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is currently expected to have 10,240 CUDA cores, 12GB of GDDR6X video memory, and a 384-bit memory bus, placing it (unsurprisingly) between the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 graphics card specs. It has also been reported that Nvidia will include the same mining performance limiter with the 3080 Ti that we saw included in the RTX 3060 GPU to reduce GPU hashrate by 50% when crypto mining activity is detected, which is intended to prevent cards from being mass harvested for use on mining rigs and farms. It didn't end well for the GeForce RTX 3060 initially, as the limiter was removed by Nvidia's own update and was eventually fully cracked down by miners, but Team Green has returned to the GPU overhaul aiming to keep their technology. in the hands of the players. The new version of the hash rate limiter could be what we see on all new Ampere boards in the future, but this has yet to be officially confirmed. As with any news that comes out of the official source, take everything with a healthy dose of salt until Nvidia makes an announcement. We can at least establish that the RTX 3080 Ti exists, so all we can do is wait and hope that enough stock is available for purchase when it finally hits shelves. Today's best graphics card deals
