Rumor: $999 RTX 3080 Ti arrives in January, will rival the Radeon RX 6900 XT

The alleged RTX 3080 Ti could give people pause before opting for AMD’s most expensive RDNA 2-based product. Team green’s card is said to be a cut-down version of the RTX 3090, featuring the same 10,496 CUDA cores, 328 Tensor cores, 82 RT cores, and GA102 GPU, the latter of which is also found in the RTX 3080.

 

Some downgrades from the RTX 3090 could be a memory reduction from 24GB of GDDR6X to 20GB of GDDR6X, but clocked at the same 19.5 Gbps. Interestingly, there were rumors of a 20GB version of the RTX 3080, but a report last month claimed that card and a 16GB RTX 3070 had been canceled by Nvidia.

This wouldn't be a surprise at all. Personally I'm not in the market for a $1000 GPU. I'll likely be getting the 6800 when it's available. Seems to have the best specs for the price.

Good to see the competition but if those 3080Ti specs to come to pass then this will be a tough call whether to go red or green. I was aiming for red with the 6900XT originally, but it will come down to cost vs performance at the end of the day.

320-bit is a step down, hopefully it comes out as 352-bit and 11GB or 22GB.  In the high end, you might as well pay for the best RTX performance and most VRAM.

 

The choice between this and the 6900XT will be hard.

If it comes with anything less than 16GB then AMD already had my money. IMHO this generation we should not be dealing with 11GB cards, at least not on the higher end.
