Nvidia’s RTX 3080 Ti has remained one of the main talking points in gaming hardware despite a lack of confirmation that it exists from Nvidia or any official source. Rumors and speculation have circulated nonstop. And recently, we received news of yet another leak for the RTX 3080 Ti that details the graphics card’s specs, expected launch date, and price. This time, the information comes from ITHome, who claims its sources are close to graphics card manufacturers.
These leaks reinforce information from previous reports regarding the RTX 3080 Ti’s specs and expected performance. The RTX 3080 Ti is rumored to feature a 384-bit memory bus and 12GB of GDDR6X memory. That’s half the amount of memory offered by the 3090, but still a fair amount for high-resolution gaming. Furthermore, the leaks state that 3080 Ti will have 10,240 CUDA cores, as opposed to the 10,496 available with the 3090. The card is also said to carry either a GA102-202 or GA102-302 GPU that will feature a hash rate limiter that detects cryptomining. Nvidia claims this limiter is unhackable and will help decrease Ethereum mining’s hash rate by 50%. This will hopefully reduce the demand for RTX cards for mining purposes and make them easier to obtain for gamers.
