GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will cost $ 1,000. If the built-in protection against mining works, then it will not be much more expensive at retail

New details have appeared on the web about the promising Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti graphics card. They were published by the same source that distributed a photo with boxes filled to the brim with MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Ventus 3X 12GB OC, so this data can be trusted.

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will cost $ 1,000.  If the built-in protection against mining works, then it will not be much more expensive at retail

First, we now know the cost of the new item. It will be $ 1,000. If the built-in protection against mining actually works (a 50% decrease in performance is promised when mining cryptocurrencies), then the demand for such a model from miners will be low and, therefore, real retail prices should not be higher than the recommended ones. At the very least, they shouldn’t go up 2-3 times, as happened with the RTX 3070 and RTX 3080.

The second point to which the source pays attention is the characteristics. He explains why the model received only 12 GB of its own memory, although 20 GB was originally planned. The fact is that the RTX 3080 Ti has no competition from AMD – Nvidia does not consider the Radeon RX 6900 XT to be a real competitor to the RTX 3080 Ti, so the company allowed itself to slightly cut the model’s characteristics. So, in the commercial version of the model there will be 10,240 CUDA cores instead of 10,496, and the amount of GDDR6X memory has been cut from 20 GB, which was mentioned earlier, to 12 GB. Although the width of the memory bus remains the same – 384 bits.
