The new GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3080 Ti AORUS 20GB graphics card is exactly what you think it is: a custom RTX 3080 Ti with 20GB of GDDR6X memory and has been spotted in Russia (again). The RTX 3080 Ti 20GB in question only works with crypto mining and not gaming... without any Game Ready drivers, this is a gaming-gimped graphics card.

 

It's not an LHR (Lite Hash Rate) card which means it's not crypto mining gimped, while we now know there are multiple GIGABYTE models (3 at least) with 20GB of GDDR6X memory. There's the GAMING OC, which is the card we have teased here, the AORUS Xtreme, and AORUS Master -- all in the custom GeForce RTX 3080 Ti goodness with 20GB of GDDR6X memory.

Does mining use a lot of Vram? Seems weird that they would make the higher Vram only for miners, I didn't think Vram was super important for mining but I don't know a lot about the technical parts of it.

From what I understand, no, VRAM is not a huge factor for mining. I mean, it certainly does not need 20GB of it. Not really sure why it has that much.

This is not true, quite the opposite. Mining IS Vram intensive, the more you have and the higher the clock of it, the better your hashrate. Usually people run Vram OC's and underclock the Core. On my 2080Ti's I ran 1100 ram and -400 core for over 60MH/s

Well I stand corrected then. That is interesting to know. Now it make sense why they would have mining cards with 20Gb VRAM.

Does that make it a 320-bit card again vs the 12GB 3080 Ti being a 384-bit? Wonder if any tradeoffs if they brought as a gaming card.
